Bad Decisions
Summary: This is my take on what happens after Should I Stay, or Should I Go. Snake doesn't have Cancer and Craig doesn't leave Ashley, or cheat on her…instead something else happens, and it's bad news for Ashley.
~*~*~
It was a Tuesday morning and Ashley was feeling horrible. She had been throwing up all morning…not to mention for the past 2 weeks. She wondered what was wrong with her.
Ashley turned around as she heard a light knock on the bathroom door.
"Toby go away this is NOT the time to play." Ashley slightly shouted in pain.
"Ash, are you okay?" her mother asked.
"Oh…mom it's just you. Yeah, I'm fine." Ash lied.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine…I just need to be alone." Ash whispered.
"Okay…well you better hurry up, or your going to be late for school." Her mother suggested.
"Mmm hmm." Ashley slowly got up from the floor, and brushed her teeth one last time, before heading out for school.

"Hey Ash what's up?" Ellie asked.
"Hey Ell," Ash said.
"Whoa, Ash…you don't look so good." Ellie observed the way her face looked pale.
"I know…I think something's wrong with me." Ashley brought her voice down to a whisper.
"Gee, Ya think?" El asked sarcastically.
"Ellie, I'm being serious I really think something's wrong with me," Ashley whispered as they walked into their homeroom.
"Time will tell," Ellie said as they took their seats.
"Okay class, today we're going to be learning about…" Ashley blocked out all that Mr. Simpson was rambling on about. She was too tired to listen, so her thoughts wondered over to Craig. Lately things were going great for them, and she was glad.
"Ashley." She heard someone call her, but she paid no mind.
"Ashley, are you listening?" Mr. Simpson asked.
"Huh?" she asked.
"Do you have your homework?"
"Hmm…yeah…yeah," Ashley said.
"Okay, so do question #2," Mr. Simpson said.
"Um…the modem is the part of the comp…the comp-puter…t-t-t-hat co…nects you…whoa." Ashley stuttered she started to feel really dizzy.
"Ashley are you ok?" Mr. Simpson asked.
"Y-yeah…can I use the bathroom?" she asked.
"Sure…go ahead," he said. Ashley quietly got up and went out the room. When she walked out the room, she started to feel sick to her stomach so she ran all the way to the bathroom, and threw up.
There it was that feeling…it wasn't like anything she'd ever felt.
"Hun…are you okay? You sound horrible." Ashley heard a voice say.
"Is anyone there?" Ashley soon recognized the voice; it was Paige.
"Look whoever you are, you should go to the nurse or something," She said. Ashley got up and swung the stall door open.
"Whoa Ash…that was you?" Paige asked in disbelief.
"Yeah." Ashley whispered.
"What's the matter with you?" Paige asked.
"I don't know. Everything was fine 2 weeks ago…but lately I've just been feeling so dizzy and I've been throwing up, a lot." Ashley confessed.
"Ashley, your not anorexic or anything right?" Paige asked. Ashley looked at her like she had grown a 2nd head.
"No! Are you crazy?" Ashley asked.
"No…it's just a guess. Anyway, you should really go to the nurse or something." Paige asked.
"I'll be okay." Ashley whispered.
"Whatever you say," Paige exited the bathroom.
Ashley put her head down on the sink and then looked at her now pale reflection in the mirror. What was wrong with her?

"Hey Ash! Wait up." Ashley heard someone call her as she walked out of Degrassi, so it was only 3rd period, she could cut a few classes if she wanted too, hell most of the teachers probably didn't know she existed.
"Ash! Wait up." The voice called out to her again, she turned around to see who it was.
"Ashley, where are you going?" Craig asked. Ashley didn't respond.
"Ash, answer me." He demanded, still no answer from Ash.
"Ashley just talk to me…please." He begged.
"It's nothing." She said as she starting walking.
"Yes it is something, I saw the way you were acting in homeroom."
"Like I said Craig…it's nothing. You can go back to class, I'm sure Joey wouldn't want you skipping." Ash replied in a snotty way.
"I'm not going back without you." Craig said. Ashley didn't know why she was acting like this, she knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't think.
"Just go please…I'll catch up with you." Ashley paused for a brief moment; she was having one of her dizzy spells. She started to stir lightly.
"Ashley…are you ok?" Craig noticed the way she was acting.
"Yeah…look I just need to go home." Ashley closed her eyes, trying to be focus.
"I'll walk you." Craig offered.
"Mmm hmm." Ashley grabbed hold of Craig's arm; it was her only way to gain her balance. She kept thinking about what was wrong with her. What did she do to make her feel this way….what was wrong with her?
