The Road to....Somewhere???

I Only Saw It Bringing Us Closer

Ashley's p.o.v.

"Fuck me." 

Being away from the hospital, and all the wonderful drugs they had kept me pumped with, I was contemplating how nice death would be right at this moment. I had never felt such pain in my whole life. I didn't realize I had been so loud until Logan's stirring got my attention.

"Are you okay baby? Can I get you something?" The concern on her face made the pain ease a little. Knowing she loved me made everything a little bit better.

"Umm, yeah, some medicine. I think I missed my dose last night. A little preoccupied, ya know?"

"I am well aware of what was distracting you babe. I'll get your pills. For some reason, I think I left them in the kitchen last night. I'll get you some water too." She kissed me lightly before getting up, putting on her robe, and leaving the room. By the time she had returned, I was only hoping she brought the whole damn bottle of pills so I could take every last one of them. Not sure if she read my mind, but she entered with two pills in her hand, and a bottle of water in the other.

"Thank you." I grimaced, as she opened the water, and handed it to me, along with the pills. Swallowing down the pills, I knew there was still probably 30 minutes before they had any affect. Normally able to tolerate pain, I couldn't figure why this hurt so bad. Through the pain, I notice Logan enter the bathroom, and exit with a bottle of lotion. My curiosity definitely was piqued. "What are you doing baby?"

"I'm gonna give you a massage. I know it won't fix the pain, but I was thinking it might ease it some. Combat the pain, with pleasure." I was definitely up for testing the theory so I just relaxed the best I could, and let her hands work their magic.

The next time I woke, it was to Logan lightly shaking me, and calling my name. I don't know how long I was out, but it felt considerably later.

"Here baby. Time for more medicine. I want to try to keep the pain at bay, so you're gonna take these like your supposed to." I didn't complain. I couldn't. I didn't want to feel that way again either.

Logan's p.o.v.

Ashley had been drugged up for two days now. 

I was trying to slowly pull her off the meds now, so she was getting them every 8 hours instead of 4. Seeing her the way she was that first morning, I couldn't bare to witness that again. It broke my heart. So, I had been keeping her full of pain meds. 

Laying beside her, I just stared. Watching her sleep had become my main form of entertainment the last couple of days. I wasn't complaining. I loved it. I watched as her eyelids fluttered with whatever dream she was having. Her chest rising and falling with each breath captivated me. 

"Baby?" I must have dozed off, cause I woke to Ash calling me.

"Hmm?" Still half asleep, responding wasn't done intelligently. 

"I'm sorry, but I'm really hungry." Of course she was. She hadn't eaten to amount to anything since this whole ordeal took place. Hunger was certainly a good sign.

"Yes ma'am. What do want babe? You can have anything you would like." 

"Grilled cheese?" Like she wasn't sure if I would make them for her. 

"Of course. Be back soon." 

After getting her fed, giving her the best bath I could without being able to submerse her in water, and getting her back in bed, she was looking so much better. She seemed to be hurting a little less, even without so many pills in her. We watched a movie, and half way through, she asked for more medicine. 

"I should call Cassie. I haven't spoken to her since before this happened. She doesn't even know." Eyes half closed, I knew she would be out soon.

"I already did it babe. Well, I called Erin. I don't have Cassie's number, and your phone was demolished. I talked to them both and told them I would let them know when you were up for company. It's ok. I have everything taken care of. Just rest. We can talk more tomorrow."

"Mmm, thanks love." And she was out again.

The next few weeks were going to be a challenge.

I only saw it bringing us closer.

Ok, this a shit chapter. I am almost ashamed to post it, but I said from the beginning that I wouldn't dictate what came out of me. This is how it came to me, so here it is. Looking at some better chapters coming up. A little drama will rear it's ugly head.
