Heartbreak
Ashley was both dreading and excited about her meeting with Will today. Part of her knew that he would tell her that a relationship between them would never work out because they are doctor and patient and thing like that never work out. But a larger part of her was hoping that he would tell her he feel the same way about her and wants to give this relationship a try.
After classes that day she began to head over to Will office but was stopped by Kate. "Hey Ash, Henry and me are go to see a movie tonight so you have the room to yourself again, tell me did you and Will hit it off or did you stick to the plan" she asked. "That none of your business, but I am going over there now to talk to him" she said.
"Good luck, i hope things work out between you two" She said heading off to Henry. Ashley began to head to Will's office. She reached the building where he worked and up to the office with the name Zimmerman. She knocked on the door and Will opened it. He was talking on the phone.
"Alright i'll see you later" he said before hanging up. He and Ashley sat down and looked at each other. "So" Ashley said. "We need to talk" he replied. "About the kiss last night" she finished.
"Ashley , that kiss was a mistake, we can't see each other, were doctor and patient, things like this never work out, and i already have a girlfriend" he said calmly. "What " was all Ashley could say. "That was Meg on the phone, she wants to try again and give our relationship a second chance" he said. Ashley was speechless.
"If you feel uncomfortable with me as your therapist i could have you reassigned to another doctor" he suggested. Ashley didn't want another doctor, she wanted Will. "No" she said. "Are you ok " he asked. Ashley faked a smile and said "I'm fine". She turned and left.
Ashley was heartbroken, she felt like her whole world was crashing down. She wanted to cry but held back the tries. In her throat she felt like she was drowning. How could this be happening. She ran back to her room and went to the hiding spot under Kate's bed and pulled out a bottle of vodka.
Meanwhile Will headed back to his apartment. Despite trying hot to he couldn't get his mind off Ashley, he wanted to pretend that she had taken what he said well but he saw through her facade and knew that he had broken her heart and the guilt was crushing.
But he felt something else stronger than the guilt, it was a strange warmth that flowed throughout his body whenever he imagined her face. He beautiful blonde hair, her sparkling blue eyes, her smile that lit up a room.
Will had never felt such feeling about a patient but then again he had never had a patient quite like Ashley. She was so brave and strong and fearless, sure she was a bit cocky and guarded but Will saw through her and knew she had a big soft heart but didn't want anyone to see it but Will saw it.
He opened his apartment door to find Meg sitting on the couch with a bottle of wine and two glasses on the table. "So how was work" she asked pouring them out a glass of wine each. "Work was fine" Will said sitting next to her. "To Us" Meg toasted and drank her glass of wine.
Will followed suit. When he was finished he closed his eyes and began to kiss Meg. When he pulled out he opened his eyes and saw Ashley sitting in Meg's place. "What are you doing" she asked. "I don't know " he replied. "Think about it" she said.
Will looked at Ashley face and had a revelation, he knew what he had to do. "Will" he heard Meg say. This pulled him out of the fantasy. "Are you ok Will" Meg asked "You seemed to be in your own little world".
"I'm fine Meg, i need to go you can let yourself out" he said getting up in a hurry and heading for the door "Wait, Will where are you going" she asked. "To fix the biggest mistake of my life" he said running out the door.
He ran to Old City University and headed for Ashley's dorm all the way hoping and prying that she would give him a chance, maybe the Fates will help him, but then again the Fates have never been know for their generiousity.
He ran to her dormroom and started banging on the door and shouting "Ashley". After a few seconds the door swung open. 'It's not locked, that's weird' he thought.
He walked into the room and saw a sight that nearly stopped his heart beating. Ashley laying unconsious on the floor with an empty bottle of vodka in one hand and sleeping pills in the other.
He ran over and checked her pulse while calling an ambalance. It was weak and she wasn't breathing. "911, their a girl , she's overdose on vodka and sleeping pills, her pulse is weak and she not breathing" he said terrified. He gave them the details and began to preform CPR.
"Come on Ashley" he said compressing her chest "Don't die on me". She was unresponsive. "Please Ashley don't die, i need you, I love you" he begged with tears in his eyes.
Suddenly Ashley began coughing and gasping for air and through his tears Will smiled. Ashley smiled to and Will knew she had heard him. "I love you too" she managed to say.
