Jill wished with all her heart he was right, she watched him go downstairs and then waited for Ash to finish in the bathroom
"Better" she asked as Ash joined her
Ash nodded although she wasn't so sure. She knew she wasn't done with the flashbacks and there was still the matter of what had happened with sister
"Right, I'll go first" said Jill
"Okay" replied Ash following Jill downstairs
"Just in time" said Gordon taking the last two plates into the dining room
"Ash, do you want a drink" asked Jonathon as she sat down next to Jill
"No thanks, I'm fine" replied Ash
They were sat there talking about their plans for next week as it was the last week the older three would be there before they went back
"Well at least we have some good stories to tell everyone" said Jonathon jokingly to Ash
"Mum" said Ash trying to get Jill's attention
"Jonathon" said Jill, thinking that he had upset Ash, by what he had just said
"Mum" said Ash again
"Yes, sweetheart" replied Jill looking at her
"Could you" started Ash
"Yes, of course" replied Jill, noticing Ash had been struggling to cut her food
"There you go" said Jill once she had cut the chicken and potatoes into manageable size pieces
"Thank you" replied Ash
Both Jill and Gordon made mental notes to cut her food until Ash's cast came off
They carried on with their conversations, but Ash started to become withdrawn she was thinking about what she had been remembering
Jill and Gordon noticed this and once they had all finished they sent the older three into the kitchen to do the washing up and making the drinks
"Ash, sweetheart we need to talk" said Jill
"Okay" replied Ash
"Let's go through to the front room" said Gordon
The three of them went through
"So, you remember me telling you, things happened" said Jill nervously
"Yeah" replied Ash
"Were do we start" Jill asked Gordon
"Start from when we got to the royal" said Gordon
"I've remembered some of that" replied Ash
"Okay, do you want to tell us what you can remember" asked Jill, trying to put off telling Ash what had happened
"I remember being in the ambulance, dad was looking after me asking where I was in pain, I told him everywhere, auntie said I wasn't being helpful, rob started talking to me, then the doors open and you were there, then it kind of goes hazy, I'm sorry" said Ash
"Ash, you have nothing to be sorry for" replied Gordon
"I should have been more helpful" replied Ash
"Sweetheart, with the injuries you had, you would have been in a lot of pain, it is not your fault" replied Gordon
"So, your turn" said Ash
The others came in with drinks
"So, what are we talking about" asked Tom
"Do, you need some space" asked Katie
"Actually, that would be good" replied Gordon
"Okay, we'll be back later then" replied Jonathon
"Don't be too late" replied Jill
They got up and left
"So, where, were we" said Gordon
"You were about to tell me what happened" replied Ash
"Well, we realised shortly after getting you into casualty that you had a brain injury" said Jill
"How" asked Ash, intrigued
"Well, you kept trying to fight us, by taking your oxygen mask off" replied Jill
"Sorry" replied Ash
"So, we were waiting for the other doctors, but knew we could wait no longer, so we sent, the others out the room" replied Gordon
"Dad, placed you into an induced coma, to prevent any more injuries" added Jill
"We got you settled and ran some tests, when you went into theatre, we went and found the others to let them know" added Gordon
"Everyone was really worried, and said somethings they wouldn't have if they weren't so scared" added Jill trying to explain to Ash
"What happened" asked Ash
"We walked in, said you had gone to theatre, then sister said something to Mum, that made her upset" replied Gordon
"What" asked Ash
"She said, if anything happened to you, she would never forgive me" said Jill
Ash didn't say anything but she was so mad, but she also knew there was more to come and thought while they were being open and honest with her she would make the most of it
"Mum, left really upset and we told her some truths, Jonathon said as if you can talk, Katie told her to leave us alone, and I told her as if Jill would knowingly put you in danger" added Gordon
"That doesn't explain why she still left" replied Ash
"Well, we all waited in different places, we needed some space to clear our heads" said Gordon
They thought it best to leave out what happened in the garden
"Well it was sometime later and we were allowed to sit by your bed, we were talking amongst ourselves, sister came in and apologised" said Jill
"We asked her to stay, she only had one question" added Gordon
Ash, was fighting to keep control of her anger, she took a sip of her tea
"She wanted to know if you were on your way to meet her" added Gordon
"What" asked Ash confused
"The note, was telling us were she would be, you were supposed to meet her, she wanted to know why we had the note" replied Jill
"Ohh, yeah" replied Ash as if she had just forgotten something
"It dawned on her you were never go to go, and she said she had it all planned, that you were going to be just like her" replied Gordon
"That's when I could take no more, my head was pounding I left" said Jill ashamed
"She left her contact details with matron and the boy's, I had gone to check on mum" added Gordon
"I'm, so sorry, baby" said Jill
"I hate her, I never want to see her again" shouted Ash looking at Gordon, she stormed off, slamming the door behind her
"See, I told you she would hate me" said Jill, she had managed to keep the tears at bay until then
"Don't worry, she didn't mean it, I'll have a word with her" said Gordon giving Jill a cuddle
"She's had a lot to deal with, she's just venting a little" he added trying to console Jill
