Jonathon left, while he was gone Ash got changed, she need Katie's help to button up the jeans
"Yeah sorry, didn't really think about that" said Katie
"It's fine really, it's better than going home in my pyjamas" replied Ash
There was a knock at the door
"Come in" said Katie
"Ash here is your prescription, is there anything else you need before you go" asked the Doctor
"No, thank you" replied Ash
"Okay, well take care and see you soon" replied the Doctor, leaving
A few minutes' past before Jonathon came back
"Dad said, he won't be long he had a couple of things to do before we could leave" stated Jonathon
"Okay, well give me that and I'll go and get it made up" said Katie
"Thanks" said Ash handing over the piece of paper
Katie took it and left, she met Jill in the corridor and told her what she was doing
"Right, are we ready" asked Jill entering and checking the room for anything that had been left behind
"Yes" replied Ash apprehensively
"What's wrong" asked Jill sitting down next to her on the bed
"Nothing" lied Ash
"Is it Tom" asked Jonathon
"No" replied Ash, quickly
"Jonathon, can you go and get my things from my office, please" said Jill
"Okay" replied Jonathon
Once Jonathon had left
"So, what's wrong" asked Jill
"It's nothing" started Ash, she looked at Jill
"I'm scared of what I might remember" she added
"Why, now" asked Jill
Before anymore could be said Gordon followed by Matron and the others came in
"Right, are we ready" asked Gordon
"You, go on, we'll be right behind you" replied Jill
Matron stayed and said her goodbyes and then also left them to it
"Actually, wait here one second" said Jill as she got up and left
"Matron, sorry" said Jill
"Yes" said Matron, stopping and turning around
"What are you up to this Sunday" asked Jill
"Nothing" replied Matron
"Would you mind, coming around on Sunday it's just" started Jill
"What time" asked Matron
"Well she is getting there about twelve so about half eleven" replied Jill
"Perfect, see you then" replied Matron turning back around
Jill now thought about what Ash had said and she walked back in the room
"It's because of what you remembered earlier on isn't it" said Jill
Ash nodded
"It's alright, nothing bad is going to happen, I promise" replied Jill
"I, know" replied Ash
"Come on then, we better not keep your father waiting any longer" replied Jill
They both left the room, Ash following Jill, it started to bring something back which had been a little unclear. They were outside and the memories were flooding back, she remembered she was in pain and that Jill was taking her home, she then remembered getting in the car and that they turned right out of the royal, as Jill had to see a patient on the way home quickly. That they pulled up outside and that she pulled her legs up to get comfy, and she had pulled her book out, it had been the first chance she had, had to read it all day
"Ash" said Gordon while she was remembering all of this, see that she had gone rather pale, this made Jill turn and look at her
"Sweetheart, it's alright" said Jill putting an arm around her because she thought she was looking a little unstable
Gordon made his way towards them as Ash had stopped dead
"Right you three go on in my car" said Jill
"Is she alright" asked Jonathon
"Yes, she's fine go on, we'll be right behind you" replied Gordon
"Mum" said Katie
"Yes, go on" said Jill
"Can I stay" asked Jonathon
Not wanting to waste any more time and thinking maybe Tom and Jonathon being left alone was probably not such a good idea at the moment Gordon nodded. The other two got into the car and were pulling away when Ash started to get some colour back
"Ash, are you alright" asked Gordon
"I'm fine" replied Ash
"Well, let's get you home" said Jill
Both of them wanted to make this all go away as if it had never happened, but they knew the next best thing was to let her come to them when she was ready to talk, they all got into the car
"Are you sure, you don't want to drop me off and then send Katie to pick me up" asked Gordon driving off
"What are you talking about" asked Ash
"Mum was going to take you home and Dad was going to go shopping" Whispered Jonathon back
"It's not important" replied Gordon
Ash was about to say something, but Jill got there first
"One of us was going to do a food shop, but like Dad said it's nothing important" said Jill
"Why don't we go now" replied Ash
"I don't think that's such a good idea" replied Jill
"Please, if I get tired I can go and sit in the car" pleaded Ash
"I don't know, what do you think" said Jill
"I don't see why not" replied Gordon
"Yes" said Ash
"Don't go getting any ideas, if it's not on the list it's not going in the trolley" said Gordon
"Where's the list" replied Ash cheekily
"In my pocket, where it is going to stay" replied Gordon jokingly, tapping his pocket
It was starting to drizzle
"I'll drop you off at the front and then go and park" said Gordon
"Okay, Ash, Jonathon what are you going to do" asked Jill
"I'm going with you" replied Ash
"So am I" added Jonathon
Gordon pulled up
"Right see you in a minute and here's the list, guard it with your life" said Gordon jokingly to Jill
"Well, you had better be quick, you know how much of a soft touch I am" replied Jill
"Take all the time you need" added Ash jokingly
Jill shut the door and then took Ash's arm as they walked into the store, while Jonathon went and got a trolley. Gordon quickly found a space and made his way in the drizzle was now turning into a down pour.
Gordon entered the store he saw Jill talking to one of their patients, but he couldn't see Ash or Jonathon. He wandered down the next couple of aisles and found them looking at the tins
"So, how's it going" he asked
"Mum's talking" started Jonathon
"I know I've just seen her" replied Gordon, Ash handed the list over
"let's have a look then" said Gordon looking down the list
"Right, Ash two tins of beans" said Gordon
"Yes" replied Ash taking one and passing it to Jonathon before taking a second, then Jonathon placed them in the trolley, they carried on taking what Gordon told them and placing it in the trolley while Gordon pushed it along
They had nearly finished when Jill found them
"So, how's it going" asked Jill
"Nearly done" replied Gordon
"Ash, can you get some milk please" said Gordon
"And Ash" asked Jill as she walked off
"She seems fine" replied Gordon
"Good" replied Jill
Ash came back with the milk
"Right looks like that's it" said Gordon just double checking the list
They queued and paid it didn't take very long thankfully it was quiet, the rain was still coming down hard when they went outside, Jill and Ash sat in the car while Gordon and Jonathon put the bags in the boot
"So how are you feeling" asked Jill
"I'm okay, you" replied Ash
"I'm okay, to be honest a little tired and worried" replied Jill hoping that being honest it might help Ash to open up to her about what was going on with her
Before anything else could be said Jonathon got in the car, so Ash leaned forward and squeezed Jill's shoulder, Jill tapped her hand
"So, what's for dinner" asked Jonathon as he did his seat belt up
Ash giggled
"What" asked Jonathon, thinking he had missed something
"I don't know yet" replied Jill
Gordon got into the car
"Right are we ready to go" he asked starting the car and putting his seat belt on he didn't wait for a reply he reversed out of the bay
They drove the short distance home in silence,
