"There is a chance that. it was too much for her. Especially with the rain."

Ms. Kerwin sat down and cried, Jeff put his arm around her. Craig backed into the corner. Many thoughts were going through his head.

"If I just hadn't put so much stress on her."

"I should of just come to see her, not let her come to me."

Paige walked over to him putting her hand on Craig's shoulder. Then a small tear rolled down her cheek. Spinner came and put his arm around her. He wasn't crying like Craig and Paige now were. Spinner did have an upset look on his face.

"Ash just doesn't seem like that kind of person." Paige said.

"I always thought Ash was the sensible one of the group." Spinner added.

"Well none of this would of happened if I hadn't put sp much stress on her." Craig said between tears.

"Craig non of this is your fault." Paige insisted.

"Yes it is!" Craig yelled.

"No it isn't Craig, Ashley did this to herself." Spinner said.

"But I put all of this pressure on her. I mean the whole Manny thing wasn't easy on her. Then when it started to rain I didn't do anything." Craig said taking his right hand and rubbing the top of his eye.

"Craig you need to realize that even though you were a big part of Ashley's stress. Ash did this to herself. You didn't make her overdoes." Paige said.

"And don't forget about Manny." Spinner added.

"Yea it wasn't easy for her when Manny came to fight her for you." Paige said.

"I guess that's true." Craig said.

"It is true." Paige said wiping away tears.

Then Jeff walked over,

"Come on guys we can see her now."

"Ash?" Her mother asked.

Ashley opened up her eyes and slowly whispered,

"Hi mom."

"Are you feeling okay?" She asked.

"I'm a little cold." Ashley replied.

Then Jeff and Toby walked in.

"Hi Ash." They said hugging her.

Craig knocked on the door,

"Can we come in?" He asked.

"Sure." Ash said still in a whisper.

Once everybody else had left, Craig cuddled up to Ashley.

"I was so scared for you."

"I didn't know what I was doing." Ash said.

"Promise to never do anything like that again?" Craig asked.

"As long as you promise not to kiss another girl ever again."

"Deal?"

"Deal." Ash said with a laugh.

"Are you still going to Mexico?" Craig asked.

Ashley turned her head away.

"Come on Craig I don't want to talk about it."

" Guess that's a yes." Craig said standing up.

"Okay I don't know yet."

"Why don't you know, I mean after all we have been through. You are just going to run away." Craig said.

"Craig I know we have been through a lot but I just don't know if I can handle all that's going on."

"I still think your running away from your problems." Craig said.

Ashley was silent.

"Fine be that way." Craig said storming out of the room.
