Ch.14

They ran into the hospital room, and to the front desk.

"Shawn Burton's room please," Ashley asked.

The receptionist looked up before typing in his name and saying, "Room 521."

"Thank you," Ashley replied, before the three of them took off. They arrived at the room about 2 minutes later, but stopped at the door. She took a deep breath before opening the door and walking in. He laid there, a bandage on his forehead. "Shawn?" she asked, as she sat down and grabbed his hand. Adam and Jamie stood at the foot of his bed as Jack sat on the opposite side of Ashley. He was already here and had come in the ambulance with Shawn. "Shawn?" she asked again, rubbing her thumb across his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Ashley?" he asked. She smiled at him and nodded her head.

"Hi baby," she said. He looked around and saw all his friends.

"What are you all doing here?" he asked.

"Jack called and told us that you were here. What happened?" Adam asked. He just shook his head.

"Nothing, just slipped, fell, and hit my head," Shawn replied. Ashley knew he was lying and Jack just stared at him.

"Are you ok now?" Jamie asked.

He nodded his head at them and said, "Yeah, I'm fine." Jamie and Adam now stood on either side of the bed. Just then, the doctor walked in.

"Wow, you sure have a lot of company," she said. Shawn just smiled. "Ok, well, Shawn, everything looks fine. All the tests came back negative except for one. Is there anyway we can talk in private?" Dr. Brokeman asked.

He took a deep breath before saying, "no, I don't want to talk right now because I know what test came back positive." The doctor reluctantly nodded her head before walking out.

Shawn looked at his friends and said, "Hey guys, you think we can get some time alone?"

"Yeah, no problem" Jamie said, before all three friends walked toward the door.

"Hey man, you get better soon. We don't like visiting you in here," Adam said, smiling before they walked out. Once the door closed, Shawn looked at Ashley.

She looked back at him, stood up and crossed her arms over her chest before saying, "want to tell me the truth now."
