I was sitting in the hospital chair watching some random morning show on the tv. I was eating some of this gross hospital food. I had pancakes, eggs, bacon and a coffee. My legs were up on the little table in front of me.

My injuries were healing a little my face still looked like shit. I got the stitches out but I have a big scar Their now. My ribs were still healing I couldn't really move around that much. I was back to my usual self though my fingers were just taped together now instead of a cast both of them are healing well.

I glanced over at Jake cuz I swear I heard something move but it was just Grace. I've been staying here every night since the accident. He still hasn't woken up but they said he hadn't gotten any worse. Grace was shocked about what happened and so was Rico.

I felt like this was all my fault. I wasn't driving but if we weren't speeding away we wouldn't have been running from the cops. Jake didn't wanna get caught and neither did I. If we did we were going to jail. That's if they find out about the Blake thing.

"Where's Rico?" Grace asked

"He left a while ago" I said standing up and throwing my trash away

"Oh shit well I gotta get to work and drop Nevaeh off at daycare" Grace said hurrying to get things

She didn't know what was gonna happen to him. I was convinced he was gonna wake up. I didn't wanna believe otherwise. She picked up a job and got Nevaeh a daycare. She's picking up her own slack and I can't believe how fast everything is changing.

I grabbed my backpack and threw it over my shoulder. I walked over to Jake and patted him on the chest.

"I'll be back buddy gonna go home and shower" I said

I left the hospital and got into an Uber. My bmw got totaled during the accident. I'm pretty sure it's still at the bottom of that lake. I got in the Uber and he drove me to my apartment.

I threw my clothes into the dirty basket. I turned the shower on and let it warm up while I looked over my body in the accident. I had a bunch of bruises all over me. I had all these tattoos covering my body but the most special one was the one on my back dedicated to my brother that I'm hoping I don't have to add Jake to.

I hopped in the shower and let the warm water hit my body. It stung a little because of the stitches I had on my arms and legs. I lathered Axe all over me and washed my blonde hair which turned a brown color when wet.

I wrapped myself in the blue towel that was hanging over the glass door. I wrapped it around my waist after I dried my hair off. I walked into my room and searched for something to wear. I threw on some red nike shorts and a black tie dye thrasher shirt.

I was sitting on Aces bed staring at the closest. I wore his clothes a lot because he had so many clothes I always wanted to wear but he would never let me. I spend a lot of time in his room honestly. I'm always in here cleaning or getting clothes or just chilling on his bed smoking.

Sometimes I feel like I see him or feel his presence but I know I'm just hallucinating because of how bad I wanna say goodbye. I never had that closure he was just dead and that's what seems to be happening with Jake.

Their was a loud banging on the front door. I didn't know who that could be this early in the morning but I walked down the stairs quietly and opened the curtain to see who it was. It was a couple cops outside and I didn't know why they were here. They were pounding on the door louder and my heart dropped to my stomach. I don't know why their here. I know but I hope I don't.

"Ashton?" They asked

"Uh yeah"

"We have a warrant for your arrest. Please put your hands behind your back" The cop said

"Wait for what?" I asked

"Everything you say and do can and will be used against you in a court of law. You will have a right to an attorney. Do you agree with the rights I've said to you?"

"Yeah" I responded

They threw me in the back of the cop car and I knew I was gonna be getting locked up. I knew exactly what that warrant was for. Somehow they found out about Blake. I swear if he snitched I'm really gonna kill him when I make bail.

Graces pov

I just stepped in the door. I was trying to juggle Nevaeh, dinner, all the bags and answer my phone that was ringing. I didn't know who it was and I was about to not even answer it because I was overwhelmed.

Ash never came back to the hospital today and that's so unlike him. He always has been their since the day the accident happened. I still don't know the full story. Ash doesn't like to talk about it.

"Hello" I said finally answering

"Someone from Chicago county is trying to get in contact with you do you accept?"

"Yes" I said

After a few seconds the line connected and ash was yelling into the phone.

"Grace hello?"

"Ash why are you in jail?" I asked concerned

"I fucked up alright I need you to come bail me out" he panicked

"Relax" I said into the line "I'll come Their okay"

"Phone call over King" A guard said then the line went dead

Holy shit Ash is in jail. What the fuck did he do? Does this have to do with the accident? i swear if he was the cause of this.
