Ashton

"Good morning Seanie boy, slept well?" Ashton walked into the room with a coffee in his hand. Sean groaned. "Could be better." He said. He tried sitting up so Ashton hurried to his side to help him. "Easy now, you went through surgery a few hours ago." Ashton said.

Sean rolled his eyes. "And they call you the cold blooded prince?" He asked with doubt in his voice.
Ashton raised his eyebrows. "What?" He asked. He apparently didn't know about his infamous nickname.
Sean chuckled and shook his head in response. "Nothing. Where's Crys?" He asked.

Ashton shrugged. "She said she was going to look for Case and Olton since they didn't come to visit." He said.

'She left two hours ago. She said she had a hunch of where they could be but she was like always pretty vague and energetic.'

Sean nodded. "It's understandable that they didn't." He said with a sad smile on his face. Ashton raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to elaborate.

'Why is everyone trying to be vague today?' Ashton thought.

"Casey lost most of her family in this hospital, it would probably trigger some bad memories.." He said.

He remembered when Casey told him about it. She didn't say much but enough for him to understand.
She looked really sad that day.

Ashton opened his mouth, he was surprised to hear that. She wasn't really known for talking about her feelings. He knew about her past but he didn't know most of her family died at this hospital.

Then he realized something himself. "Kiara's girlfriend is in here.. Kiara is probably hesitant to visit after being absent for days." Ashton mumbled.

Sean's eyes widened. He didn't know about Cassandra so it kind of came as a shock. "Kiara has a girlfriend laying in the hospital?" He asked, sounding a tad too concerned for Ashton's liking.

Ashton rolled his eyes. "Why so surprised? Do you like her or something?"  He asked before realizing how jealous he sounded.

Sean narrowed his eyes. "Why are you asking? Do you like me or something?" He said, using Ashton's questions against him.

They stared at each other for a while. Not saying anything. Until Ashton started pacing around the room. "Anyway, so she told me about her when we were in Ray's mansion. Her girlfriend was the reason she wanted to go home so badly." He said, avoiding Sean's question. "I feel bad for her. I can't imagine y- someone I really care about being in a coma for three years."

Sean's eyes widened as a recent memory came back to him. He had the one serum Kiara needs to go back to her old life. The oblitus serum.

"Ash." He muttered.
Ashton looked up. He saw Sean's nervous expression and concern sprung into his eyes. "What? Are you alright?" He asked.
Sean looked around and saw that Crystal had left the bag on the nightstand. She knew it would be better if she left it there in case Sean wanted to tell Ashton about it.

He slowly reached for the bag and opened it. There was one serum left. The oblitus serum. The only one they hadn't used yet.
Sean slowly held it up. Showing Ashton what it was.

"It can't be..." Surprise sprung into Ashton's eyes as he grabbed the potion out of Sean's hands.
It had a green color with blue sparks in it. It was definitely the oblitus potion.
It would let Kiara forget a week's worth of memories if she drank the whole thing.

"Are we gonna tell her?" Ashton asked. Looking at Sean with concern on his face.
He was actually starting to care about Kiara. He wouldn't want to admit it but the idea of losing her now kind of hurt him.
