"Ash" said Matron stopping and bending down and taking her wrist
"Ash, sweetheart, talk to me" said Jill kneeling down in front of her "Where does it hurt" she asked although she had a pretty good idea already
"I'll be fine in a minute please don't fuss" said Ash trying to get up
"No stay there" said Matron taking her arm again trying to take her pulse
"No I can rest when we get home I've already made dad upset I don't want to make it any worse" replied Ash trying to get up
"Ash let me deal with him you just sit down and rest" replied Jill
"Besides they can go on if they want to" Jill added
Meanwhile the others had gotten back to the car
"Where have they gotten to now" said Gordon
"I don't know but I know Ash was trying to talk to you but you walked away from her" said Katie
"I'm going to go back and check everything's alright" replied Jonathon not waiting for a reply he didn't have to walk that far back to find Jill and Matron huddled around Ash
"Mum?" said Jonathon, Jill looked around and smiled
"What can I do to help?" He asks
Jill gets up and walks to him and talks quietly to him
"First I need you to go back to your dad and tell him to go on and then I need you to come back with a bottle of water and my doctor's bag"
"Okay" nodded Jonathon
Jonathon ran back to the car and opened up the boot of the mini collecting Jill's doctor's bag and a bottle of water
"Dad mum says you can go on home" said Jonathon
"What's going on" Gordon asks
"I don't know she asked me to get these and to tell you to go on home, that's all I know" replied Jonathon
"Who is it" asked Gordon
"Dad just go home mums got it all under control" replied Jonathon
"Is it Ash" asked Katie
Jonathon nodded, "I'm coming with you" replied Katie
"No you can't we all won't fit in the car, go with dad" replied Jonathon
But before anything else could be said Gordon took the bag and bottle from Jonathon and was making his way back
"Nice one, see what you've done now" Jonathon said to Katie following Gordon
"What" replied Katie
"They didn't want dad there" replied Jonathon in a whisper
"How was I suppose to know" said Katie
"What are you talking about" asked Gordon looking round
"Nothing" replied Katie but before anything else could be said they reached Jill and the others
"Jill" said Gordon but before he could say anything else Jill looked around and took her bag and the bottle of water from him and said thank you she then began rummaging around in her bag Gordon placed a hand on her arm which stopped her "What's going on" he asked
"Not here, not now" replied Jill getting back to what she was doing
"I'm sorry" replied Gordon, Jill got up and walked away Gordon followed her
Jonathon and Katie were still having the argument and matron was trying to stop all of this going on because she could see Ash was getting upset and was probably blaming herself for all of this.
"It's not me you need to apologise to but right now something's are more important" said Jill
"Mum" said Tom
"Yes" replied Jill turning back around she noticed all hers and matrons hard work had been undone thanks to the arrival of the others they had just managed to calm Ash down and for her to accept that she needed their help but because the others had arrived she had gotten to her feet and was slowly making her way back to the cars on her own.
"Stop right there young lady" said Jill everyone apart from Ash stopped what they were doing
"What do you think you are doing" asked Gordon
Ash didn't stop or reply she didn't realise they were talking to her it was taking all her concentration to keep going
Jill shoved her bag at Gordon and quickly walked to Ash and took her arm which made her jump
"What do you think you are doing" said Jill
"This is all my fault" said Ash "I'm just trying to get home" she added
"Right well first things first sit down" Jill said while placing a hand on her shoulder and gently forcing her to sit down she then got her bag from Gordon and asked them all to go back to the car but no-one moved.
She decided to ignore the others and place all her concentration on Ash "Here you go sweetheart take these" "Now sit there quietly for five minutes" she added
The others were asking Gordon and Matron what was going on they were trying to understand what was happening because they felt helpless, Jill went over and was talking to the others
"Is there anything we can do" asked Katie
"No, why don't you lot go on home, I'm sure Ash doesn't want an audience" replied Jill
Ash had been sat there for a couple of minutes but it felt like ten to her what with the others stood around talking and watching her she got up gingerly and started walking towards the others and towards the cars she slid her hand into Jill's and rested her head on her shoulder
"Are you alright" Jill asked
"Can we just go home" Ash whispered
"Of course we can sweetheart" replied Jill
"Right we will take it one step at a time" added Jill
"And your coming back in my car" added Gordon
"Mum no, please can I go back with you, please" pleaded Ash
"You will be matron, dad, you and I are all going back in dad's car, Katie's going to drive the others back in my car" replied Jill
"Can I go back with the others then" tried Ash
"No, nice try but I want to keep a close eye on you" replied Jill
By this time they had gotten back to the cars
"Right everyone in the cars now and Katie you are to drive straight home" said Gordon
"Yes dad, mum is she alright" asked Katie
"Yes she will be let's just all go home" replied Jill giving the keys over and getting into the back of the car next to Ash
Ash didn't speak the whole of the journey home as soon as she had gotten in to the car she had put her music on, she could hear the adults talking about what had happened and she could hear Jill telling Gordon off for the way he had been and she could see her getting upset, she slipped her hand into Jill's and placed her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes after that they drove the rest of the way in silence.
