Chapter Three. OMG!! Thanks for all the reviews! I hope this chapter is up to standards. R&R!

Where's Your Head At?

It was a bright Thursday morning when a male redheaded nurse in baby blue scrubs and spiked hair, along with a new employee, entered Ashley's room. He looked at the new nurse. "This is Ashley Davies. She's been in here for about two weeks with head trauma. We don't know when she'll wake up."

Christine an average young woman with dark hair turned to her supervisor. "What happened?"

"Car accident. She ran a red light like we all do from time to time. It's a good thing she was wearing a safety belt. This could have been much worse. I'm here to let you know that she gets daily visits from her friends and family. They also come on the weekends and stay for most of the day. Her mom is very well-off, so give the kids what they want and don't loose your patience."

"Ok Ryan. Sounds easy enough." She turned her attention back to Ashley.

"Also, stay away from Dr. Carlin. Apparently she is not a big fan of this girl and you don't want to get her started." Christine sighed having already experienced Dr. Carlin's attitude but she still kept her eyes on the bed. "Any questions?"

Her jaw dropped with surprise. "Just one. What do I do when she wakes up?"

For the first time Ryan was aware of her rapidly beeping heart monitor. Walking closer to the bed he saw her head turn and she gave him confused look, like she was uncertain about her surroundings. Her mouth was dry and her voice was rough and horse, but she managed a weak smile and a, "Hey."

The nurses stared astounded at her sudden recovery.

Ashley sat up in her hospital bed, watching a blonde drive away in a Jeep on her TV screen. There was a man chasing after her like his life depended on it. She then watched the blonde's Jeep collide with another vehicle.

Looking to her right she watched the muscular dark haired boy hum along with the song, mumbling the few words he knew. "Some day, some how, I'm gonna make it all right but not right now, I know you're wondering when………" He looked down at her. "Do you remember that song?"

"I don't remember anything." She said flatly.

"The doctor said hearing and seeing familiar things would jog your memory."

"Well, it's not very familiar, um…" She struggled to remember the name he told her. "Aiden."

"Really? Huh. You used to love this song. You even played it a few times."

"I can see me lovin' the song, but YOU?" She looked at him in his shirt that seemed thee sizes too small. "Are you sure we had a thing?"

"Positive. We didn't last but it was strong. I was in love with you."

His eyes had such an intensity that she couldn't look at him. "Looks like you're more in love with yourself than you could ever be with me." Relief spread through her when she saw him smile. "Just how long did you spend in front of the mirror before you came here?"

He laughed and looked just as relieved as she did. "I see you still have that horrible since of humor. And your bitchiness is still intact!"

She smiled and looked back at the TV. "Is that what happened to me?"

Aiden watched the video ending and the start of a new one. "That's what I'm told. Well, something LIKE that anyway."

Huh. That sucks. "So, when are my parents coming?"

Aiden shifted uncomfortably at the question. "Your mom is coming back to town later tonight." He hadn't been thinking much when his last sentence popped out. "That'll be an interesting reunion."

"Why do you say that?"

He paused. "Sometimes your mom can be kind of a bitch."

"Oh." She felt here heart sink. Yay. A crappy mom. "And my dad?"

"Your dad passed away, not too long ago."

Ashley felt a warm tinge behind her eyes. Shit, I couldn't wake up to a good life? The teenager was becoming even more disappointed as Aiden shed light the life she had forgotten. "Uh… what happened? How did he die?"

"I think we should save the hard talks for another day. You only woke up this morning. We don't need this right now."

I wonder why he doesn't want to tell me. At least I have someone that wants to look out for me. That's something. "So what about my other friends?"

"What other friends?"

She slapped him on his arm. "C'mon Aiden!" He chuckled.

"Well, there's me and…..um……ok. Me and……." He thought about it scratching his head.

Oh damn! He can't be serious!

I hope she thinks I'm serious!

"Aiden?" She asked expectantly with a slight hint of a threat. "If I don't have friends you better make some up real quick."

While Aiden thought a little longer a female nurse came into the room and smiled at Ashley's scowl.

"Excuse me Aiden, I need to check her vitals again." Aiden moved to the foot of his best friend's bed and let the young female nurse move to her side.

"You're looking quite nice today Nurse Winters."

She gave him a warning glance. "Thank you Aiden." The nurse took Ashley's wrist and the contact sent a shiver up the young girl's arm.

Her eyes were glued to the spot, and a million thoughts started to run through her head. She had felt like this before when her doctor, Susan Dutch walked in but she didn't understand it then either. More and more question kept popping up. She was so lost in her mind that the nurse's voice didn't register right away.

"Helloooo?" She flashed a penlight pass Ashley's eyes to get her attention.

"Huh? What?"

The nurse laughed. "I said, how are you feeling? Have you had any headaches?"

"At first, when I woke up but it's not as bad anymore." She touched the bandage wrapped around her head.

"That's good. You'll feel pain for a little while but it will subside in a few more weeks. Okay?" She gave Ashley a bright smile.

Ashley looked over to Aiden who had an interesting smirk on his face. "Okay." She returned the smile.

"I'll be back in an hour with Christine to finish your vitals and give you a sponge bath. How's that sound?"

Without thinking Ashley gave her an answer. "That sound's great. I'm sure I'll enjoy you two trying to get me clean." Her voice was so laced with innuendo that as soon as the words left her mouth, she froze. She couldn't believe what she said.

The nurse laughed again and walked out of the room.

A very confused Ashley turned to Aiden who was just beaming at the comment. "What the HELL was that??!!" He shrugged at her question

Aiden settled back down by her side. "I see THAT hasn't changed." Shaking his head he let out a small chuckle.

She looked at him for an explanation about her behavior. What the fuck?! "Well??"
