A few days later Ashley was released from the hospital. Craig hadn't been
back to see her since that night, she wasn't sure if he would come and see
her today either. Ashley was wrong though Craig was waiting on the steps in
front of her house when they got home.
"Craig maybe you should come back later." Jeff said.
"No it's fine he can stay." Ashley insisted.
"Okay Ash but just for a little bit." Her mom said taking her arm.
"Thank you." Craig said opening the door.
Ash and her mom walked in followed by Jeff. Toby was last and he didn't look happy.
"Just to let you know I blame you for everything!" Toby said walking in the room and then slamming the door in Craig's face.
Craig stood there for a minute, just as he was about to turn around Jeff opened up the door,
"Craig aren't you coming in? Ash is upstairs."
"Yea." Craig said walking in the house and up to Ashley's room.
"Hi Craig." Ash said when he entered the room.
"Hey Ash how you feeling?" Craig asked.
"I'm better. We really need to talk."
" I know what you mean."
"I never meant to hurt you Craig."
"No Ash I never meant to hurt you. None of this would of happened if I wasn't around."
"If it didn't happen with you it would of happened with somebody else. I just need to learn to be stronger, and not be so sensitive."
"But Ash you have every right to be sensitive, and you are the strongest person I have ever met."
Ashley started to cry.
"Oh come on Ash don't cry." Craig said sitting down on her bed.
"I can't help it. I'm just under so much pressure."
"Well how about we stop fighting and that is one thing you can check off of your pressure list." Craig said wiping away Ash's tears.
"But what are you going to do about Manny?"
"Manny means nothing to me, and I will keep telling her that until she gets it through her head."
"You would really do that for me?"
"Ash I would do anything for you." Craig said kissing her then he stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I was going to let you rest."
"Get over here Manning." Ashley said.
"Alright." Craig said sitting back down at the end of the bed.
"You know you can't kiss me from there."
Craig moved closer to her. Just as she was about to kiss Ashley Toby walked in.
"Um Craig, they said you need to um leave." Toby said.
"TOBY! It's called knocking." Ashley yelled.
"It's called not making out with your boyfriend when anyone could walk in." Toby said.
"It's fine I'll just leave." Craig said getting up off of Ashley's bed.
"No you don't have to go." Ash cried out.
"Ash it's fine I'll see you tomorrow." Craig said leaving.
Once he was gone Ash got really mad at Toby.
"TOBY! What was all that about?" Ashley yelled.
"Kate said it was time for him to leave."
"Well you could of knocked first!"
"Well maybe you shouldn't of been making out in the first place."
"Maybe it's none of your business."
"I was just telling you what Kate said."
"You know what Toby just leave!" Ashley yelled.
