posted. Thanks for the great reviews!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!I have decided
that Ashley WILL wake up! YAY! The thing is...she wont wake up for
seven years!What do you guys think? I'm so excited about writing this
story!!! Keep the reviews coming!!! Just for your info...the words in itallics like these...these are Craig's thoughts. :-)
Where am I...oh god my head...what the heck is going on? It smells funny in here...why can't I open my eyes? Questions swam in Craig's pounding head. He could hear the sound of a telephone ringing and people whispering. He tried to open his eyes but they seemed to have a mind of their own. Craig tried to recall the events of that day. I woke up...I got dressed... I went down stairs and had breakfast....I called...ASHLEY!!!!!!! The memories all at once came back to Craig. The date. The fight. The accident. Oh god Ashley!!! Craig flew his eyes open without trouble. He was in a hospital room with peach colored walls and there was a vase of flowers on the beside table. Lillies.
"Hey big guy," Joey was gleaming at him....it looked as if he had been crying. "How ya doing?" Craig looked around there was Joey, Caitlyn, Angela, Emma, and Jimmy were all standing around his bed. "You took quite a blow to the head, you've been under for about 3 hours," Joey said with a concerned look. That explains the headache. He wanted to ask so many questions but he couldn't grasp one, in his mind, long enough to ask.
"Ash...," he tried to say.
"Shhhh...save your strength, you need to rest," Caitlyn said touching his forehead. Caitlyn is sooooo awesome...like a mother. She has been great through this whole Ashley and Manny thing. Joey needs to keep her. NO! I need to know where Ashley is...why isn't she in here.. is she alright? Craig opened his mouth to talk but was immediatly interupted by Emma.
"Hey, looks like your going to get out of finals on tuesday. I heard that one in Snake's class is going to be brutal...you lucky dog. Get better soon though ok?" She always knew the right things to say to make him feel better, and for a brief moment his headache disappeard. It came back all at once though and he winced in pain.
"You should get some sleep...it might help ease the pain...try honey" Caitlyn said motherlike. Craig wanted to say no but couldn't help the tired feeling coming over him. He felt his eyes getting their own mind back as they started to fight their way back shut. They won. Within minutes Craig was fast asleep.
An hour earlier Ashley's family sat in the waiting lobby of the head trauma area in the hospital. Finally Dr. Rocky Cromwell came in to the waiting area. He looked at the floor as he told the family of Ashley's condition. Ashley's mother let out a wail heard on the whole floor.
When Craig awoke four hours later Joey was the only one in the room.
"Where did everybody go'" Craig asked. His throat felt dry.
"They went home it's..," he checked his watch, "4:37 in the morning" Craig felt himself let out a breath of relief. He didn't like being so surrounded like he encountered earlier. He kept thinking of Ashley. He decided he needed to ask about her now, before he fell asleep again. But he wouldn't fall asleep again that night because of the news he was about to recieve.
"Joey...how's Ashley...I didn't see her in here earlier." Joey looked at him and looked like he was about to cry. He walked over to Craig's bedside and held his hand. Craig was not sure he wanted to hear the answer now. He could tell it was serious. Joey took a deep breath.
"Ashley's in a coma."
I hope you guys liked it....I tried. Please review and I'll add more!!!! LOL! :-)
