AN: I'm sorry that I haven't updated earlier, I kind of wanted the draft for the next chapter done before posting this one, and in the middle of writing that chapter I had a minor block so now is that chapter done or at least the draft.

Thanks for the reviews and leave me some more.

Disclaimer: don't own anything related to SoN. The song I used in this chapter is Hold on be strong by Maria Haukaas Storeng.

Chapter 4: Hold on be strong

But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you
there is always someone out there who'll care for you
there's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true
hold on, hold on, be strong

"We need a crash cart in here" was the last thing Paula remembered that she heard after that everything was in a daze. She didn't think about that she was on the phone with Ashley. Paula woke up from her daze when she heard that someone was yelling her name into her ear.

"Paula what is wrong with Spencer?"Ashley asked.

"Huh" was all that Paula could say, she didn't think about that she was on the phone with her daughters' ex-girlfriend that no one had, had any contact with for the last five years. When Paula finally realized that she was on the phone with Ashley all she could say was.

"Did you say something?"

"Yes, I was wondering what is wrong with Spencer, you were about to tell me and then you just screamed Spencers' name."

"Shit" was all that she could say and she just began to run towards Spencers' room. Paula wasn't sure if she should tell Ashley about the crash cart that the needed in Spencers' room.

"Okay, but what really happened to Spencer? Why is she at the hospital?" Ashley asked.

"Well, when I got home after you left me that voicemail I found her and she had been beaten pretty badly. When we got to the hospital they found out that she had a few broken ribs and a punctured lung." Paula said and she began to cry.

"I'm sorry to hear that but she is going to be okay. I know that, I know that she is a strong girl. She has to be okay."

"I know, but there is more. I haven't told you everything."

"Oh I didn't know that. I would love for you to tell me more."

"Of course I will tell you but it might take some time."

"I understand that I might take you sometime but you just take your time. I fully understand that. I mean a lot has happened the last few days." Ashley said, this girl that Paula was talking to wasn't the same girl that she had known before. This version of Ashley was so much more mature and understanding.

"To begin with, no one knows that you called me and left that voice mail."

"Okay?"

"I don't mean not to tell them but I don't know how I should tell them."

"it's not a problem I do understand you and all but I personally would like it very much if you could tell them cause I would love to come and visit Spencer if she needs stay a longer time at the hospital. Just as a friend nothing more." Ashley said, but thought to herself to begin with I just miss her so much.

"I will try to tell them. I am really sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about. But I really need to know how Spencer is doing, I know that something must be wrong with her 'cause at the moment my heart is aching and I do have some trouble breathing. And to me that only means one thing and that is that Spencer is hurting."

"What?! Just relax, I'm on my way to Spencers' room and then we will know how she is."

Paula was almost at Spencers' room when she saw that her whole family was outside Spencers' room and waiting for something, she looked into the room and saw that there were some nurses and doctors working on her daughter.

"Arthur what is happened why isn't you in her room?"

"They, they told us to leave the room" Arthur said and he had tears in his eyes.

"What do you mean leave?"

"she, she, she crashed" he said and when he finally had said it out loud he began to cry, he had held in his tears for so long and now he couldn't hold them back.

Ashley had heard all of this over the phone; she was wondering what had happened all that she heard was that someone had crashed and crying, all she knew was that this wasn't good.

"Jen is that you?" before she had a chance to response to that the voice continued "And I will hunt you down before you have a chance to do anything to Spencer ever again, just stay away from her." She didn't have a chance to replay that before the line was disconnected.

Jen who is that and why is she as good as dead? Ashley wondered.

"Madison what did you mean with what you just said" Paula managed to get out between her sobs.

"Well it's her fault that Spencer is here".

"What!? I have a hard time to believe that it's Ashleys' fault that Spencer is here at the hospital."

"Not Ashleys', its Jens' fault. I mean that we haven't talked to her in like five years."

"That's not true, she called me a couple of days ago and she told me to find Spencer and that she was in some sort of pain."

"What!? Everybody said.

"And she was the one I was on the phone with and she was the one you were yelling at."

On the other side of the Atlantic sea Ashley sat and looked at nothing all she could think about was Spencer and what Madison said to her on the phone, who is this Jen and what has she to do with Spencer being at the hospital. At the moment her heart felt better now she only felt the pain that's he always did, from her heartbreaking five years ago and it was easier breathing.

"Ms. Davies they want you back on the stage for the encore." A boy said.

"I can't, tell them anything, food poisoning or come u with something. And after that I would like for you to tell them that I'm cancelling the rest of my tour."

"Okay, to the first thing but I don't see why you need to cancelling your whole tour."

"I've just made a decision that I should have done five years ago. I'm going home. I'm just hoping that I'm not too late."

"May I ask what decision?"

"Sure Ben. I left the best thing that ever happened to me. But I was to young to realize that and I know have."

"I see, let me guess it has something to do with that new song of yours."

"Yes. And I want to give you one advice, always remember love."

"That is great, so I'm guessing that there is a girl that would love to see you again and I hope that she understands and forgive you."

"Me to, me to and if she takes me back, I will rephrase when she takes me back I'm going to have one last concert and let the world know that I'm the luckiest girl ever to walk on this planet." And with that Ashley just left the arena and she took a cab to the airport. All she knew was that she wanted, was to be back home, and by Spencers' side, and when she would be there she knew that she finally would have found her home.

Babe, just hold on and be strong for me. If you do that I promise you that I'll be by your side in no time. And this time I promise that won't leave ever again. I've learned from my mistakes I will never make the same mistake twice in my life.

Back at the hospital

"She did what?!" Glen said.

"She tried to call me, I don't know how many times but the last call she made she left a voicemail and told me that I needed to find Spencer and her numbers."

"But how did she know, I mean she is not even on the same continent, she is in England on her Europe tour."

"She said that she didn't know how she knew. All that she said was that she felt that Spencer was in pain." Paula said.

"I don't get this, it's just so, I can't even put words on it" Madison said

"That is not all."

"How can that not be all, what you just told us was just so strange." Glen said.

"When I talked to her earlier today. Just before someone took the phone from me, she told me that she had some trouble breathing and that she felt some kind of pain in her heart at the same time as Spencer crashed and the doctors were working on her." Paula said and she began to cry this whole day had just been too much for her.

"I know what this is" Arthur said. "And I'm glad that I was right all this time, and I also think that Ashley knows what this is, she just doesn't know what words to use. Or at least I think that she realized today, that is why she called again."

"What it is?" Madison asked.

"True love." That was the only thing that Arthur said before he fell asleep in a chair outside of Spencers' room. No one wanted to go inside of her room just yet, they were all afraid of what they might see.
