Chapter 10

Ashley's POV

What is the most beautiful thing you ever seen? Is it a memory from where you were a child? Mine its not.. The most beautiful thing I ever seen was one day when Spencer I shared a special moment while looking at the beauty of dawn.. You are going to say 'have you not seen the dawn before?'. Actually I never did.. But sharing this with Spencer made it more special..

It was another crazy day at the hospital where everyone was running.. At least that day no one died.. I remember Spencer telling me that if it was in her hand no one would die.. She was an amazing doctor and considering she was young that was even better..

I was starting to get well.. Still I couldn't walk but the casts were already gone.. I had to use the wheel chair to move around and I didn't want anyone to help me.. Even if Spencer insisted that I still needed help.. I was stubborn I know..

Spencer and I were spending a lot of time together.. Well, her free time, because she was always around doing her visits..

You meet someone out of nowhere and immediately you know if you will be friends with them.. Past life maybe? Who believe this stuff.. But the truth is that some people make you feel something and that person for me was Spencer.. I don't know why or how but it was like we knew each other from before.. And I believe she was feeling the same..

"Day dreaming again Ashley?"

"What else can I do here funny girl?"

"That's true.. Well, I am free right now.. What do you think if I helped you get up and maybe do some exercises.."

"I say… mmm.. lets do it.."

"That's the spirit"

That's what I mean.. Easy..

"You are laying into that bed for quite some time now.. I think its time to use your legs Ashley"

"Don't you think that I already tried Spencer? I move my legs but its not easy.."

"You don't seem to me as weak.. So I want you to try harder.."

"You are a push over.."

"Mmm.. I think that was uncalled for.. I am just a doctor.."

"Yeah yeah.. whatever"

"Now hold my hands and lets do your first steps.."

It was the most difficult thing I had to do.. I didn't stand on my legs for two whole months now but I had Spencer's help and I was stubborn.. That wasn't new though..

"That's my girl.. Come on.. you can do it"

"Your girl?" I was surprised with the use of word she chose.. She called me her girl?

"That's an expression.. Now come on.. Another step and I think we are good for the day" once I did the ten steps Spencer said I had to I was exhausted.. But I did those steps and I have to say that it didn't feel better..

"See? You did it.."

"I did.. Now can I sit again? My whole body hurts.."

"Yes you can.. I am allowing you to sit"

"Thank you so so much Ms Carlin.. That is so nice of you"

"Sarcasm looks good on you.. Just for your information"

"But I wasn't.. I was completely, entirely thanking you for being so kind to allow me to sit.."

"Sarcasm.. Continue though.. I am enjoying it.."

"Spencer.."

"Unfortunately you won't.. Duty call my friend"

"That's my life.. See you later Ashley"

And I didn't see her till really really late that night.. She had to do some surgeries because again our troops were hit.. I wanted to get well and get out of here.. But at the same time I didn't because that would mean that I wouldn't see Spencer again.. And I was so used having her around..

That night she didn't come from my bed but maybe she did.. I was asleep at some point and I don't remember.. It was 5am when I opened my eyes.. The hospital was quiet.. Maybe the first time after so long that it was peaceful.. I didn't want to sit.. Instead I tried to sit on my wheel chair and tried to get outside.. From the other times I was wheeling around I found that we had a small garden outside with a beautiful view..

It was spring so it was kind of chilly outside but I didn't care.. It was refreshing.. When I got out it was still dark but in a few minutes the sun would start to rise.. And I stayed there waiting.. At 5.30 the darkness of the sky was starting to fade and the sky was taking this beautiful color.. That actually is not a color from the pallet we already know.. It's so many colors together..

"This is my favorite time of the day.. When the day and night meet.. It's the most beautiful thing" Spencer said from behind me.. I didn't even hear her coming here..

"It might sound crazy but I never have seen the dawn before.. Living in New York is kind of difficult.."

"I would wake up at 4am just to go at the beach and sit there till the sky was red.. That was when I would move.. The most beautiful thing is that right now" she leaned close to my cheek and showed me the sky.. "From this part is still dark while from the other the sun is ready to rise.. It makes you wonder.. In other countries right now is already morning when in others the moon is still up.. Beautiful.. Isn't it?"

"It is" I said while looking at her..

"How does it feel for being your first time?"

"First.. Time?" I didn't know what she meant but my heart was beating really fast..

"First time you saw the dawn.. How does it feel like?"

"Beautiful.. I think that in future I am going to wake up at 4am like you just to wait the dawn.."

"I am going to tell you a secret.." she whispered in my ear.. "There is nothing better than to share this with someone you really care about.. It makes it more special"

"I will keep it in mind" I wanted to say that I just did.. But I didn't know how she would take it.. "You know what Ms Carlin? I really don't know anything about you.. Yet, you know pretty much everything about me.."

"I think that would be very true Ms Davies.. Maybe one day.. For now you know the most important ones.."

"And that one day when it might be?"

"Who knows? Now lets get inside.. It's late"

"Actually its early.. It's almost six"

"Even worse.." she said and I could sense her smile even if she was behind me..
