Friends With Crazy Benefits

Chapter 24

Ashleys POV

Everything is such a blur, as soon as we got to the hospital it was like non stop tears and questions. The police are here and I already told them what's been going on with Drake. They said they will do their best to find him. Drake is in bad shape from what I've heard but I haven't seen him yet.

He has broken ribs, and a broken arm. Also bruises and cuts everywhere, and a black eye. I can't believe this happened. What has this world come too, where you go around beating people near death just to get back at them? It's just crazy, and I'm pissed. Actually I'm more than pissed. There's not a word for what I feel right now.

The doctors are in and out letting us know how he is and if he gets better the least bit. The doctors said I'll get to see him soon, and I want to see him.. But I'm scared. I'm scared to see him like that. So vulnerable, so lifeless.

Doctor Smiths came out of the room once again to tell us we can visit him. His parents and I rush into the room and there Drake is..

He looks horrible. Drake has a cast over his arm, and bruises and cuts literally all over his body. He has a gown on, so who knows what he looks like under that. This is just terrible, I can't process anything right now as I'm looking at the love of my life laying in this hospital bed.

It's my fault too. It's my fault he's in the hospital. He did this for me, because Austin has tried to kill me so Drake probably was going to hurt him. I feel like complete and utter shit for this.

As I wait for his parents to be done visiting and talking to Drake, even though he is still asleep, I pull up a chair and sit beside of him. I grab the hand that is not injured and hold it, wishing he would go ahead and wake up so we could talk to him. He's under some heavy pain medicine though and he needs to sleep.

He looks so innocent, and beautiful in a way as I sit here beside him holding his hand. It makes me truly realize how much I love this boy, and that I'm gonna do my very best to make sure nothing ever happens to him again. Austin will be put in jail and whoever else is helping him.

Drake started to move around, and he wrapped his hand around mine. His eyes slowly opened and he looked around, not knowing what was going on. He took turns looking at everyone, probably confused as hell. I know how it is waking up in the hospital.

"I'm sorry you guys." Drake barely made out.

"Don't talk honey, it's okay. Everything's okay. We're gonna get who did this to you and put them in jail. They will never hurt you or Ashely or anyone ever again." Drakes mother assured him.

Drake looked at me, with tears in his eyes.

"Ashley baby I'm so sorry. I tried so hard for you. I love you so much.. I just wanted to make everything better for you.. for us." Drake said looking down and squeezing my hand.

I was about to open my mouth and speak but the doctor rushed in and said "Drake, I'm so happy you're awake. We're going to have the nurses check you out and make sure everything is okay and then the police are going to start the questions. They are going to find whoever did this to you I promise."
The doctor promised and asked us to sit in the waiting room again while they check everything out on Drake.

I kissed him and told him I would see him as soon as I could.
