Chapter Seventeen

Mitch's POV

It's strange how things can go from amazing to absolute shit in a matter of seconds.

"Mitch?" Preston's voice said.

I looked up at him, he stood there with Rob.

"She's going to be okay man." Mat said.

Mat and I have been in the emergency room for almost an hour waiting to hear about Ashley.

"What happened?" Preston asked, I looked up at Rob who stood there all quiet.

"Hey Mitch do you want anything to eat?" Mat said, I turned towards him.

"Let's go get him something to eat Preston!" Mat stood up grabbing Preston and Rob’s wrists pulling them away.

It was almost two in the morning and I was sitting here feeling worthless.

I felt my eyelids start to close, standing up I walked to the men's bathroom. I looked at myself, my eyes were red and puffy, most of the color was drained out of my face, and my eyes were almost bloodshot.

Mat had suggested I should take a nap, but then last time I slept let’s just say it wasn't something I wanted to look forward to.

Pushing the door open to the bathroom I walked throughout the hospital and to Ashley's room, at that moment I didn't care if the hospital staff yelled at me for being in a restricted area I just needed to see her. Pushing open the door I walked inside, there she laid with an IV in her right arm and her left arm stitched and wrapped up. Turning around I felt tears come to my eyes, this was all my fault. I caused this. I grabbed the door handle pulling open the door, waking outside I walked back to my original seat.

"Mitch buddy! I got you some pudding, its vanilla your favorite." Mat smiled handing that and a plastic spoon to me.

"Thanks." I said pulling open the top plastic lid.

I watched Preston sit down next to me, "How was your date?" He asked trying to keep me away from my thoughts.

God, it was amazing.

"It was great." I mumbled pushing my spoon into the vanilla pudding not bothering to look at him.

"What did you guys do?" I put a spoonful of pudding into my mouth, gulping it down I turned towards Preston.

"Dinner and a movie." Sticking my spoon back into the pudding I stuck another spoonful into my mouth.

"What movie?" Preston grinned.

"Oculus." I turned looking straight ahead.

"Isn't that supposed to be a horror film?"

"Yea, it is she loves horror I like horror so we watched Oculus." I mumbled shoving another spoonful of pudding into my mouth.

They finally got Ashley set up in a room which held a spare hospital bed, a couch, a flat screen 32' TV, spare pillows, and blankets. Preston and Rob went home an hour ago while Mat slept on the couch. I sat on the extra hospital bed with a blanket wrapped around me and a pillow under my head.

I wasn't planning on sleeping though, I didn't want to risk another night terror. Seeing her lay in that hospital bed it made me think back to that day.

Kyleigh sighed looking at me, "Mom and dad aren't happy Mitch." She said.
