Chapter 22 - The Truth Hurts

You sat on the chair next to the hospital bed, eyes red from crying. You looked at Ash, who has a bandage around his arm and back. You felt guilty for all that happened recently.

The cops arrived and took the Team Flare members away, even though they're dead. The cops didn't even arrest you, or fine you for anything, which is a great thing.

Tears poured out of your eyes at once as you saw blood dripping off Ash's jacket. Dawn looked terrified, not more than you though.

There was a brief moment of silence but the sound of the ambulance arrived.

You flinched at the flashback of what just happened and looked at Ash. The doctor came in shortly. "Doctor is he still alive?" you yelled. "Y/N, shhh, calm down," Dawn hissed. You gave her a death glare and turned back to the doctor. "Yeah, don't worry. And I see you love this boy right?" the doctor teased. You blushed and looked away as the doctor decided to leave the room to give you space. "Uhh so Y/N, I'm going to give you some space so byee," Dawn suddenly said and left.

"I'm sorry for everything, it's all my fault I put you into this state," you whispered. "I don't deserve you, you sacrificed a lot for me and I did barely anything for you."

"It's not your fault Team Flare wants to assassinate you. And also, you don't have to worry, I'm fine," Ash incapacity said. Your eyes widened and gripped his hand tightly. "Oh my god, let go!! It hurts so much!!!" Ash cried and winced. "OMG I'M SO SORRY!! ARE YOU OKAY???" you apologetically said. "Yeah," he replied.

"So...what did the doctor say about your injuries?" you questioned in concern. "Well...I'm not sure if you want to hear it, it's going to hurt you a lot," Ash said. "I don't care, how much it hurts, all I care is you, nothing else," you complained.

Ash took a deep breath and started his deep, depressing monologue. "Alright so the doctors said I have an incised wound on my arm and it won't heal as easy as you think, which means it'll probably take a few months, to a year. There's a puncture on my back, also from that sharp knife and it'll take longer because it's way deeper."

Your eyes began to water and you leaned in and hugged Ash tightly after he sat up. "Ahh my head hurts," he gulped from the pain. "Oh yeah you got beaten up before getting stabbed," you said with a sorrow voice and put your hand on his head.

"Mhm," Ash mumbled, while looking away. "When are you able to get out of the hospital?" you asked, after a minute of absolute silence. "Next week," he whispered. "That's painful, but I'm here with you," you said. "No matter what happens."

"Thanks, but you should get some air rather than staying here for a week," Ash said. "No, I'm not going anywhere," you stubbornly said. "Fine, do whatever you wa-" Ash weakly said but then grabbed his head then passed out. You caught him before his head got hit. "ASH OH NO!!!" you screamed.

You figured he was too exhausted so you calmed down. "Have a good rest," you whispered and caressed his cheeks.

~Time Skip~

One week later...

Ash got released from the hospital.

You guys went back to school.

You got a load of homework to do from absence.

But the worst of all...

After all that happened since the party, you got a temporary acute trauma from knives or anything sharp.

How will you cure your trauma? Will it enlarge? Is this over for you? Will you overcome your fear?
