LAURA'S P.O.V
I woke up in the same position I slept in. My neck hurt like hell considering I slept on a chair , resting my head on Ashley's bed. I looked at him and he was still in the same position he was in the day before. I quickly called my boss , asking them if I could take the day off and explained what happened. To my surprise they gave me the whole week off. I really need it.
I just stared at Ash , his hand still in mine , while my other hand stroked his cheek.
"Ash , I know you can't hear me but please be strong. I need you. Black veil brides and the fans need you. I can't lose you. I..love..you...Ashley. I've loved you for a long time. Please wake up.." Tears started falling freely again and I couldn't control them. I heard someone enter the door , I looked and there were the guys.
"Hey." I said quickly , flashing them a weak smile.
"Hey Laura." They said all together.
CC came next to me and patted my shoulder gently. "Laura , since you spent the night over here, we were thinking you should go home and take a shower and rest a bit maybe. Only if you'd like though." said CC.
"I'll just go for a quick shower , I'll be back as soon as I'm ready. Please call me if he wakes up. Thankyou for coming guys. I don't know what I would do without you." I let go of Ashley's hand and made my way outside to the parking lot where I left my car. I drove home in complete silent. All I could think about is Ash.
I called CC for like 10,000,000 times in just a few minutes , just to check if Ash has woken up yet. I even left my phone on loud speaker while showering so I could to talk to him , just in case something happened.
I quickly got out of the shower and put on black skinny jeans , a striped white and blue jumper and a pair of black vans. Oh and a black beanie. As I made my way outside of the bathroom , I took a look in the mirror and realised how bad I look. My eyes were red because of the crying and I had fifty shades of dark circles under my eyes. Having no makeup on isn't helping at all but I don't care right now. All I want is Ashley to be okay again. Ashley's two pomeranians sensed that something was wrong because usually they'd be running all around the house chasing eachother and now they're curled up at the end of the sofa together and they haven't moved an inch since I've been here.
I grabbed my stuff and made my way back to the hospital. The ride wasn't far away but it felt like forever for me to get there. I eventually arrived and made my way to room 314 again. Ash still hasn't woken up and the guys were still sitting there , hoping he'll be alright. We sat there for hours , barely talking.
"Laura we're going to get something to eat in the cafeteria , do you want to come? Or do you want us to bring you something here?" Jake asked.
"I'm not hungry , thanks anyway." I said , my sight not leaving Ash.
A nurse came in to check on Ashley and she said he's doing great and he's recovering quickly. That's the best thing I've heard in two days so far. I started whispering sweet nothings to Ash even though he's not awake yet.
I felt Ash move his fingers slowly. My eyes shot up in surprise and I looked at him , waiting for another movement. He opened his eyes very slowly , adjusting to the light in the room.
"Ash baby! You're okay!" I started crying , happy crying this time. I stroked his cheek and he smiled really big. "Do you remember what happened?"
ASHLEY'S P.O.V
I slowly opened my eyes , looking around to recognise where I was. Then I remembered what happened , I was in a car accident. I heard a sweet angelic voice call my name and soon after , I recognised whose voice it was. It was Laura's."Hey angel. Yeah I remember what happened , I was in a car crash , right?" It was a bit hard to talk at first but it got better by the minute.
"Yes you were. How are you feeling? I'm so glad you're alright Ash! I can't afford to lose you!" She kissed my cheek gently which made me realise how lucky I am to have her back in my life.
"I feel alright. My head hurts a bit though." I said.
"You have three stitches on your forehead , maybe that's why it still hurts. I'm gonna go tell the nurses you're awake and then I'll call the guys cause they're in the cafeteria. I'll be right back." She planted a soft kiss on my lips and left.
LAURA'S P.O.V
I told the nurses and then I called Andy because he was first on my contact list.~phonecall~
Me: Andy! Come here quickly! Ashley's awake!
Andy: What? Really? We're coming right now!.
He hung up and I waited for them to come back in Ash's hospital room. They came running in and spread out around Ashley's bed. They all looked thrilled , which made me happy because I haven't seen them smile for what seemed like forever.
The nurses said he was healthy enough to go home so we grabbed his stuff and helped him get out of bed. I helped him to get dressed because he was still weak.
The nurse came in just in time when I finished helping Ashley getting dressed.
"Alright Mr.Purdy you're ready to go. Remember to get a lot of rest and don't stress yourself out." the nurse said.
Ash signed some papers at the receptionist's desk and we all walked outside. We all had a little moment together and pulled eachother into a group hug. The guys all drove to their house to have a goodnight's sleep while Ash and I drove back home.
"I missed you , Ashley." I said , not taking my eyes off of the road.
"I missed you too , Laura , even though I didn't know what was going on but I felt that there was something missing." He said as he squeezed my thigh.
When we arrived home , Ashley's dogs started jumping around and licking Ashley , they couldn't contain their happiness which was so cute. We went upstairs and Ash went to have a shower real quick while I changed into my pyjamas and waited for him in bed.
"Do you need any help ?" I yelled so Ashley could hear me.
"No thanks , I'm just putting my pants on." He laughed.
It felt weird asking a grown up man if he needed any help with getting dressed , but he still isn't 100% well so I'll do my best to look after him.
He got out of the bathroom and joined me in bed. We turned the lamps off and he pulled me closer to him and kissed my forehead.
"Thankyou for everything angel , goodnight" He said.
"You're welcome love , sleep well and wake me up if you don't feel well please."
Right before I drifted off to sleep I heard Ashley say 'I love you' but I wasn't sure if I heard him right or not. What I know for sure is that I'm having strong feelings for Ashley again...just like when we were younger.
