Meanwhile Gordon and Jill had, had their little chat about what had happened she had even mentioned that they would have to tell Ash what happened with sister, while she was asleep, they then went off in search of Tom, they found him in Gordons office
Katie was making her way down to reception when she could hear Tom kicking off
"That's right, believe your precious daughter, of course she can't do anything wrong" shouted Tom
"That is not, what we are saying" said Gordon getting short tempered
"Actually, she was willing to take the blame, I got short tempered with her" said Jill
"I bet it was Katie sticking her nose in" said Tom
"Look, what we are saying is you don't want them knowing everything, therefore you cannot expect to know everything either" said Jill trying to calm the situation
"So, what did she say" asked Tom
"What have we just said" replied Gordon
Before he could reply there was a knock at the door
"Come in" said Gordon
"What's wrong" said Jill before Katie had even stepped in the room
"Nothing, we just wondered, if you had any clothes for Ash" said Katie not daring to look at Tom
"What did you say" interrupted Tom
"No, but I'll see what I can do, when we've finished here" replied Jill getting up and ushering Katie out the door
"Do you, want me to pop back home" asked Katie trying to be helpful
"That's a lovely idea, thank you" said Jill shutting the door behind them
"What should I bring" asked Katie
"Jeans, a t-shirt and maybe a jumper but nothing with tight sleeves otherwise she won't get it over her cast" replied Jill
"I won't be long, is there anything else" asked Katie
"No, I think that's all, and Katie be careful" replied Jill
Jill watched Katie leave and then took a deep breath and was about to go back in
"So, doctor is it true Ash is leaving" asked Lizzie
"Yes, lizzie it is" replied Jill
"Is it not a bit early, I mean the other one hasn't even been discharged yet" replied Lizzie
"Yes, I mean no it's not too early, and it's not for us to discuss this" replied Jill
"Yes doctor, sorry doctor" replied Lizzie
"Sorry, Lizzie, it's been a long trying day" replied Jill going back into the office
"Of course, you would believe them" said Tom
"It's not like that" replied Gordon getting angry
"So, why don't you tell us what happened" asked Jill taking her seat again
"What's the point" replied Tom sulkily
"So, we can hear your side of the argument" replied Jill
"And we can sort this out before we all go home" added Gordon
"Well, after you left, I asked Ash what you had been talking about, she said it was none of my business, and I said maybe we could help" replied Tom
"What else" replied Jill knowing he was trying to make himself look like the innocent one in all of this
Tom stayed silent for a couple of seconds
"She said I was just like you two" said Tom, hoping to see the hurt on their faces but their expressions didn't change
"I'm telling the truth" said Tom
"We, know you are" replied Gordon
"So, why aren't you upset" asked Tom
"We, are but we have talked about this, and that is how she feels at the moment, we can't make her change her mind" replied Jill
"But" started Tom
"No buts, we have been keeping things from her, not just for her own good, but because we can't face telling her" said Jill
"Plus, we know she will tell us in her own time" replied Gordon
"But what if she doesn't" replied Tom
"Then that is her decision, and whether we like it or not, we must respect it, like we do for all of you" replied Jill
"Anyway, we are getting off subject, so what else happened" said Gordon
"Nothing" lied Tom
"Tom" said Gordon sternly
"So, it was Jonathon" replied Tom
"It doesn't matter who it was, just tell us the truth" replied Jill
"Jonathon and I left, to get drinks, and I didn't go back" said Tom
"Why not" asked Jill
"Because Jonathon told me not to" replied Tom still trying to skirt around the truth
"Why, was that" asked Gordon
"Because I may, have said some things" replied Tom
"But I didn't really mean them, I was just angry" added Tom
"Well, apologise to Jonathon and we'll take it from there" said Jill
"I'm sorry" said Tom
"Well, you'll lucky that Ash didn't hear it, but if you ever say anything like that again" replied Gordon
"I, know, I'm really sorry" replied Tom
Meanwhile back with Ash and Jonathon
They had packed the bag, there wasn't that much to pack because no-one thought she would be leaving yet
"So, what was that all about" asked Jonathon
"I'd rather not talk about it" replied Ash
"I know but you know mum and dad are going to ask" replied Jonathon
"I know, I hope they are willing to wait until I feel ready, besides, mum has things to tell me first" replied Ash
"What stuff" asked Jonathon
"She said something happened and she would tell me later" replied Ash telling him all she knew
"Ohhh, is it to do with me" asked Jonathon with a smile
Ash didn't answer
"Or Katie" asked Jonathon, Ash still didn't answer
"Dad" queried Jonathon
"I'm not telling" replied Ash getting fed up
"Will you tell me, when you find out" asked Jonathon
"You, probably already know" replied Ash
Jonathon was quietly thinking about what had happened that Ash wouldn't know about
"I can't think of anything that happened, between the two of them" said Jonathon
"What, makes you think it was them" replied Ash
"Ohhh, this is killing me" replied Jonathon
"How, do you think I feel, mum would have told me by now, if you lot hadn't turned up" replied Ash
"Katie's, been a long time, I hope every thing's alright" added Ash, trying to change the subject
"Yeah, probably got pulled into the whole Tom thing" replied Jonathon
"Shall, we play a game" he added
"Yeah, okay" replied Ash
They were both bored of waiting, they had played a couple of games
"How much longer, do you reckon they will be" asked Ash
"They can't be too much longer, surely" replied Jonathon
"I'll tell you what, I'll go and see if I can find out" added Jonathon
Ash started to pack the game away, while Jonathon got up and was making his way towards the door when it opened
"Where's mum and dad" asked Katie as she walked in the room with a bag
"We thought you were with them" replied Jonathon
"No, I went home for these" replied Katie
"Thanks" said Ash taking the bag
"I'll just go and see if I can find them" said Jonathon
"Okay" replied Katie
