I'll never forget you Jace Norman

New challenges

Jace's pov
It's been a month. Ashley hasn't woken up. The doctors still don't think she will. She is relying on the life support system to survive. I visit her every day, and I tell her about what's happening outside, even though I know she can't hear me. It's like talking to a wax statue of who she used to be. Jake and Jamie visit all the time too. Jake seems cool. I can understand why she became his friend. I guess it's true that these kinds of situations really do bring people together. One day, I was sitting next to Ashley with Jamie and Jake, when the doctor came in. "Um may I speak with all of you? Me and Ashley's parents would like to speak with you." We all followed him into the hall. "As you all know, ms. Summers has been in a coma for over a month now. And in the best interests of her parents and in the hospital. We've decided to take Ashley off of life support." For a moment I froze. "Are you crazy?! How could you! Your just going to let her die?! Your her parents!" I screamed while crying. Jamie collapsed to a heap of tears on the floor while Jake just stood there, stunned. "I'm sorry Jace. I'm going to miss her so much! But she can't go on like this. It's better to let her go so she doesn't suffer. I'm sorry." Her mother turned away and started crying. "No! I won't let you kill her!" I screamed and ran back into the room. I ran to Ashley and started yelling. "Please Ashley! Please wake up! Please don't leave me! Please!" I leaned over and kissed her on the lips. Nothing happened. Nurses came in and grabbed me and held me back while they went over to Ashley and flipped the switch. "No!" I screamed. The machine started making noise but they shut it off. I broke loose from the grip of the nurses and ran to Ashley. "No! No! No! No!" I cried and put my head down on the bed and held her hand. I thought she was gone forever. "Ashley?"

Ashley's pov (A/N I know kind of predictable!😂)
First I heard a bunch of sobs. But I couldn't opened my eyes. Then when I had enough energy I opened them and saw a hospital around me. I saw my parents and Jake and Jamie. And Jace was sitting next to me, holding my hand. Then he looked up at me. "Ashley?" He asked. "Jace? What's everybody crying for?" I asked and he smiled. This time it was real. He leaned in and kissed me. It was perfect. Until he leaned on my chest. "Ow! Crap! What the hell was that?!" It would have been a yell, but my voice was a tiny croak. He jumped off and doctors and nursed surrounded me. I was asked all sorts of questions but I couldn't get any answers! Finally all but one doctor left. He spoke while Jace was sitting next to me holding my hand. "So I have some things to tell you Ashley. First you were hit by a car. Second you have three cracked ribs. Third you have a broken arm. This is where it gets complicated. Fourth you have severe head injuries and it has messed up you memory. Sometimes for no reason you may just forget everything. But it shouldn't last long. You may always have memory problems from now on, but the severity should go down over time. Lastly, you also had some spinal damage so your paralyzed from the waist down. But that may only be temporary if you go through some therapy and keep exercising you legs. The most important thing though, is to never give up. This won't be easy and it will take time but you can walk again." I'm surprised he didn't tell me that I had broken my jaw because I'm pretty sure that it was on the floor. "That's impossible! I'm fine!" I argued, refusing to believe that this had happened to me. I tried to stand only to find that I felt no legs. I dragged myself from the bed only to fall flat on my face. I really was paralyzed and there was no escape. I burst into tears and Jace hugged me and tried to calm me. But it felt like everything was going way out of control. None of this was supposed to happen to someone like me! I'm not special! Now I'll be the talk of the year. I was finny released from the hospital, but in a wheelchair. In which my mom pushed for me for now. "Hey on the bright side, your going to get some serious arm muscles from pushing this chair!" My mom said to me. I didn't laugh. I just got in the car with Jace and we left. He could see right through me. He knew how worried I was about my legs and my memory. "Hey don't worry the doctor said its temporary!" He said. "Only if I do all this therapy and stuff! What if it's too hard? What if I'm not strong enough?" Tears started forming in my eyes. He wiped them away and said. "Ashley your the most strong willed, stubborn, hard working girl I know. If anybody can do this its you! And I'll be there for you the whole way! Don't think of it as a problem. Think of it as some new challenges!" He's right this is a challenge. But it's the biggest challenge I've ever had or will have. And this time, I'm not so sure I can overcome it.
