I dont remember what happened or how i got to where i am but i do know these damn lights are blinding me ugh. I try to open my eyes but it feels like there is a pound of lead holding them down. When i finally get my eyes to open i look around and i see my whole squad laying down on hospital beds. I try to sit up but i stop when a sharp pain in my side and my leg stops me.
"Lt. Davies you can sit up you were hit pretty hard from the blast and you broke three of your ribs,broke your left ankle and left wrist."
What, how, when? All of these questions were running through my head and i was trying to replay what happened.
"Ma'am?" That voice its sgt dennison.
"Sergeant what happened and did everyone make it?"
"Ma'am all of us made it thanks to you. Let me explain it to you real quick."
Flashback
Sgt dennisons p.o.v-
We were checking a building after we heard gunshots and we were on the top floor when our lieutenant heard a ticking and we heard her shot bomb. She cleared everyone out of the top floor but when corporal hunter fell LT. Davies ran and carried her down the stairs. When she reached the bottom the bomb went off and LT. dropped Corporal hunter to the ground and shielded her and the rest of the squad from the blast.
End flashback
Ashleys p.o.v
Wow i did all that maybe thats why i cant remember anything.
"you hit your head pretty hard on the ground so your memory may be a little fuzzy."
"Ya i can barely remember anything ugh. Hows corporal Hunter?"
"Um she has a broken leg and a broken arm but shes great other than that thanks to you. Im being sent back to base because i didnt get hurt besides some scratches but you and corporal hunter have to stay here. They said when you are more stable they are flying you back home to California."
Wow im being medically discharged ugh these injuries must be bad. I look down at my ankle and it looks like its being held together by screws ugh.
I sit there for awhile and stare around until i am met by corporal hunter starring at me. I know shes in pain but i know she is thanking me by the look in her eyes. Im glad i saved her but im not sure why i did. Why does it seem like i know her more personally? Hmmm i dont know. I feel like i should know but i dont.
2days later-
Ashleys p.o.v
Ugh i havent moved from this bed in 3 days and i feel like my muscles are dieing. They are sending me and the Corporal home today and im excited to get back. I want to get my strength back and get back to work. I got a letter yesterday from some one named spencer and i have no clue who this person is. Maybe we are friends in L.A but i know my friends and i dont remember a spencer. Maybe its one of Kyla's friends. Hmm i wonder how her and her boyfriend are doing? Ill have to ask when i get home.
We are getting ready to be sent back to base and i am given my bag with all of my stuff in it and i notice i have quite a few letters from this spencer person hmmmm. I also notice my writing note book. Wow i have written a lot of songs lately. hmm what is this one...
so let me get this straight say now you loved me all along?
what made you hesitate to tell me with words what you really feel i can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say i remember so long ago, see i felt that same way now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
insignificantly enough we both have significant others
only time will tell time will turn and tell
we are who we were when could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend we are who we are who we were when who knew what we know now could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend we are who we are who we were when
but thoughts they change and times they rearrange i don't know who you are anymore loves come and go and this i know i'm not who you recall anymore but i must confess you're so much more then i remember can't help but entertain these thoughts thoughts of us together
we are who we were when could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend we are who we are who we were when who knew what we know now could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend we are who we are who we were when
my day late friend
so let me get this straight all these years and you were no where to be found and now you want me for your own but you're a day late and my love, she's still renowned we are who we were when could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend we are who we are who we were when who knew what we know now could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend we are who we are who we were when
Hmm i dont remember this song but it sounds really good in my head. We get on the plane to head back to california and i fall asleep wondering who this songs are all about.
When i woke up we were landing at the base in califonia. I love our base because its just so big and its home. I dont remember being promoted but ill take it because i know i want it. I go to my cabin and look around. It looks like i live here because i have my guitar and my ipod and those are the only two things i need to live really. Hmm i see i wrote another song i wonder what this one is about.
I need another story Something to get off my chest My life gets kind of boring Need something that i can confess
Till all my sleaves are stained red From all the truth that I've said Come by it honestly I swear Thought you saw me wink, no, I've been on the brink, so
[Chorus]
Tell me what you want to hear Something that'll like those ears Sick of all the act sencere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics never jump in line I'm Gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we got this far It's like were chacing all those stars Whoes driver shining big black cars
And everyday I see the news All the problems we could solve And when a situation rises We'll ride it into a moutain Straight to though I don't really like my flow, oh, so
[Chorus]
Tell me what you want to hear Something that'll like those ears Sick of all the act sencere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics never jump in line I'm Gonna give all my secrets away
Got no reason Got no shame Got no family I can blame Just don't let me dissappier I'mma tell you everything
[Chorus 2x]
Tell me what you want to hear Something that'll like those ears Sick of all the act sencere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics never jump in line I'm Gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away (x2)
Wow i dont know who i wrote this for but who ever it is must be really important to me.
-Spencers p.o.v
Hmm i dont know i havent heard from ashley in like 3 days thats not good. I havent gotten anything from megan either i hope they are ok. I decided to go on a run on the beach. When i got about half way down the beach i got a phone call from kyla.
"Hey ky whats up?" Me and her had gotten pretty close since she got back from her honeymoon.
"Spence where are you?" She sounds frazzled.
"Um down at the beach by my house. Why whats up?"
"Stay there i will be there in 5 minutes." With that she hung up the phone before i responded. Wow i have never heard her like this i hope everything is ok.
I waited on a bench for kyla and when i spotted her she looked like she had been crying. I run up to her and hug her.
"Ky whats going on?"
She kind of starred at me with worry in her eyes. "Spence there has been an accident...Ashley and megan have been hurt. From what i know megan is ok but um ashley has broken ribs, a broke ankle, a broken wrist and she has lost her short term memory. From what they told me she was shielding her squad from a bomb blast and she got the grunt of it."
I sat there taking it all in because im not sure how to feel at this moment. I know kyla is still talking because she rambles when she is nervous and i know she is worried. I turn and look at her and i can feel the tears in my eyes. I know what i need to do but im not sure how to do it.
"Ky she will be ok lets just make it ready for her to come home because i know she is coming home. So lets make this easy for her. Why dont you go to the studio and tell the crew because she is going to need them and want them there ok?" She nodded and i gave her one last hug before she left.
I hope all goes well but what if ashley doesnt remember who i am?
-Ashleys p.o.v-
Im sitting in my cabin when i hear a knock at my door.
"Come in"
"Hello Lt. I know you dont remember me but im Captian Carlin and i am here to see you off. Also to tell you that due to your heroic actions you have been awarded the purple heart. You will be recieving it in a few weeks. I thank you for all of you work and saving my people now lets get you home to rehabilate. You will have physical therapy every other day with and army doctor. We want you to get 100% and come back if you want."
I sat there in silence because i was unsure what to say. All that kept going through my mind was wtf happened?
