Meanwhile, Jill and Gordon woke up before their alarm clock and were sat chatting about what they had overheard in Katie's room
"I don't think she blames you" said Gordon
"I know, I'm just worried she is forcing all the blame onto sister" replied Jill
"I will tell the others off though, I mean there was a good reason we hadn't told her everything yet" said Gordon
"Well, it's too late now, she had to know sometime" replied Jill, she was too busy thinking she had missed something to be worried about that she wasn't listening to Gordon
"What's wrong" he asked
"Nothing, did you hear that" asked Jill, she had made up hearing a sound so she didn't have to talk anymore
"No" replied Gordon
Jill put her finger to her lips
"There" she said again, this time she had heard a noise, she had in fact heard Ash closing her door
"No" replied Gordon
Jill got up and walked over to the door, she noticed Ash's door was closed and her light was on
"Its alright I think Ash is awake, I'm just going to check on her" whispered Jill to Gordon who was still in bed
"Okay" he replied picking up his book
Jill tapped lightly on Ash's door
"Come in" said Ash
"Everything alright" asked Jill
"Yeah, couldn't sleep, you" asked Ash
"I'm fine" replied Jill
"About yesterday, I'm sorry, I never meant for you to" started Ash
"Look, it's fine, I'm sorry too" replied Jill she pointed to the bed
Ash nodded, Jill made her way in and sat on the bed, she closed the door behind her
"I guess, I expected you to feel that way, because I have been blaming myself" said Jill
"Why, I know you would never put us in danger" replied Ash
"Can, we just not talk about it right now" said Jill
"Okay, so what do you want to talk about" asked Ash
"I don't know, can I just have a cuddle" replied Jill
Ash nodded and cuddled into Jill, they stayed like that for a few minutes, before Jill broke the silence
"So, why can't you sleep" asked Jill
"Well, I couldn't deal with the fact, you thought I hated you" replied Ash
Jill went to say something
"I hated the fact I had upset you and I don't know how to put it right" added Ash
Jill didn't quite know what to say so Ash carried on talking
"And then when I do get to sleep, I have flashbacks, I woke up this morning feeling like I was falling" she said happy to get it off her chest
"Why, didn't you come to get us" asked Jill
"I figured you needed the rest and besides I could hear you and dad were up" replied Ash
"So, you knew we were awake, you could have come in, we were only talking" replied Jill
"I didn't want to interrupt" replied Ash
"Sweetheart, you know" started Jill
"I know, I just wanted to give you some time alone, you haven't had much chance lately" interrupted Ash
"I don't ever want you to think like that again, you come to us where ever, whenever, you understand me" said Jill
Ash nodded
"So, is there anything else you want to talk about" asked Jill
"Can we talk downstairs, I need a drink" asked Ash, her throat was still feeling a little sore
"Yes, of course" replied Jill, letting Ash go and getting up
"Do, you think dad would want to be there" asked Ash, she thought it only fair and didn't feel up to going through it more than once
"I'm sure, he would love to be there" said Jill
"I tell you what, why don't we get you downstairs, we can put the kettle on and I'll go and talk to dad" said Jill
"Okay" replied Ash, knowing they had to talk
Ash got up and was trying to put on her dressing gown, but wasn't having much luck
"Come here" said Jill with a giggle
"Thanks" replied Ash
They had just started going down the stairs when the phone rang
"Wait here, I'll be back in one second" said Jill leaving Ash on the stairs and quickly running down the rest
"Weatherill" said Jill picking up the receiver
Gordon had made his way to the top of the stairs
"Ash" said Gordon
"Yeah" said Ash turning around
Gordon looked at Ash worried
"It's alright, mum said to wait here while she answered the phone" said Ash
"Yes, yes, we'll be right there" said Jill
"Right, let's get you the rest of the way down" said Gordon
They just reached the bottom of the stairs when Jill came off the phone
"Gordon, we're needed, sorry Ash" said Jill
"Hey, it's fine, it will keep" replied Ash as she went through to the kitchen and flicked the kettle on
"What's that about" asked Gordon as he and Jill made their way back upstairs
"I'll tell you on the way" replied Jill, quickly grabbing some clothes and going into the bathroom, Gordon did the same going into their en suite
Five minutes later and they were making their way downstairs
"Right, we're off" said Gordon
Ash was trying to open a new packet of cereal
"Okay" she replied
"Here, let me do that" said Jill taking it from her
"Do you need anything else" asked Gordon
"No, I'll be fine and the others are here if I need anything" replied Ash
"Well just call if you do" replied Jill handing back the cereal
"Okay" replied Ash pouring herself a bowl of cereal
"See you later" said Gordon
"Take it easy" added Jill
"See you later, love you" replied Ash as they went through the front door
They closed it quietly so not to wake the others, they both went in Gordon's car, so that if anything was wrong at least Katie could get Ash to them quickly
Ash was sat having her breakfast, she had made a cup of tea and had found an old newspaper lying around and was flicking through the pages
Meanwhile Jill and Gordon were on their way in
"So, what was Ash on about it would keep" asked Gordon
"She said she wanted to talk" replied Jill
"Do you think she's really ready" asked Gordon
"That's what I was going to ask you" replied Jill
"I, guess we need to see what it is she wants to talk to us about" replied Gordon
"I'm worried, that she's trying to force her memory to come back" replied Jill
That was all they had time for, they got out the car and made their way into the hospital
"Morning, doctors sorry to have called you" said Lizzie
"No, problem" replied Gordon
"Right, let's go and see where they need us" added Jill as they made their way down the corridor
"Gordon you're in theatre and Jill can you run casualty" said Matron
"Yes of course" replied Jill going through and setting casualty up with the nurse
It wasn't as bad as they had first thought, it was a three-car pileup on a local road, the first car had arrived at the hospital and were being dealt with for minor cuts and bruises, they were being keep in for observations in case of concussion, the middle car which was the worst only had one person in it and they were waiting for the fire brigade to cut him free.
The final car had four people who had just arrived at the hospital and Jill was seeing to them she had sent the driver for an x-ray as he had an expected broken leg, the other front passenger had a bad cut to her forehead which Jill was suturing, the other two just looked like bruises, but matron was making room for them all on the wards any way.
They took the driver through to the operating theatre, they had to fix his leg under anaesthetic as the x-ray showed it wasn't a clean break
Jill helped tidy up casualty while they waited for further updates
"Doctor, I've got rob on the other end he needs to talk to" said Lizzie
Jill took the call
"Doc, he doesn't look all that good, I think we need you" said Rob
"Okay, I'm on my way" replied Jill
"Lizzie, if Gordon asks, tell him where I've gone" Jill added as she went out the door
"Yes, doctor" replied Lizzie going back to reception
Jill made her way to the scene
"Doc, over here" said Rob, helping to get her past the police cordon
"Thanks, what have we got" said Jill as she walked up to Rob
Rob started to explain while Jill looked at the patient
"Right I think, we had better take him straight to Ashfordly" replied Jill
"Yes, doc, I'll let them know" replied Rob going to the ambulance to radio ahead to the hospital to let them know
Jill was doing her best to stabilise the patient
"Right we're ready to remove the roof, when you are" said the fire officer
"Okay, give me one second" replied Jill administering some more pain relief she then moved out of the way
"Right, one, two, three" said the fire officer, they then lifted the roof
They got the stretcher in behind the driver and then put the seat down so they could gently lift him out. On the way to the hospital they had to stop a couple of times, once was for Jill to put another line in and the second time was to put him on a ventilator. Once they reached the hospital Jill and Rob handed the patient over to the waiting doctors.
