Ashley held onto Cole as her head spun. She didn’t know if it was from joy at being safe in his arms or from the bump on the head. All she knew was that she didn’t want him to let go.

“I should have stayed,” he said into her hair. “I should have…” The rest of what he was saying was muffled, but she thought that he’d said it was all his fault.

She leaned back slightly. “How is this your fault? I’m the one who left my spare keys in that stupid fake rock.”

He sat next to her on the bed and then reached up and brushed a strand of her hair away from the bandages wrapped around her head.

“I should have stayed,” he repeated.

“You had a job to do.”

“Yes, but…” She stopped him by placing a finger over his lips.

“I’m just glad you’re here now.” She leaned back as her vision started to grey. “I think I need to shut my eyes for a while,” she said, feeling herself drift off. She felt a lot safer feeling his hand hold hers as she slept.

When she woke again, her father was the one in the chair next to the bed, holding her hand.

“Hey, pumpkin.” He leaned forward a little more. “How are you feeling?”

“Thirsty. And dizzy.” She groaned and shut her eyes again as the room started spinning.

“The doc says that will go away in a day or two,” her father said, causing her to groan again.

“That long?” She felt her stomach lurch and wasn’t surprised when her father held up a small bucket for her.

“The nurse said you might need this.” He patted her back as she emptied her already empty stomach.

Groaning, she rested back for a second.

“Here,” her father said. She opened her eyes and took the glass of water from her dad and sipped on it. Rinsing her mouth, she spat into the bucket again. Then her father went into the bathroom.

“Where’s Mom?” she asked.

“Grabbing us some dinner. It’s hard for her to see you like this.” He sat back down next to her, setting the clean bucket back on the table next to the bed.

“Where’s Cole?” she asked, just as a nurse walked into the room. Ashley remembered seeing her earlier, but couldn’t remember her name.

“Cole had some things to do, but he said he’d be back soon.”

The nurse took her vitals, then turned to her. “How’s the pain now, Miss Scott?”

“I’m a little woozy,” she answered.

“That’s perfectly normal, but I can get you something to help. Do you think you could keep something down? Like soup?”

Ashley thought about it and nodded after she felt her stomach growl with need.

A few minutes later, a tray was brought in and she was given some pills. Shortly after, her mother entered with a bag of fast food for her dad.

She finished half of her soup just as Cole knocked on the door. Her parents left with the excuse of going home to check up on their cats.

“How are you feeling?” He moved over to the side of her bed.
