“Can I go in,” Ryan questioned softly.

Carol nodded with a grin, “Of course you can.”

“I’ll go with,” Aiden said following behind the bass player.

“I’m going to go use the young ladies room,” Carol announced. As she breezed past Spencer she whispered faintly, “Talk to her. There’s something wrong.”

Before the blonde could reply Carol was already down the hallway. She turned to look at her fiancée whom hadn’t said a word since they’d entered the hospital. “Do you want to go in with them Ash,” Spencer asked quietly.

The rocker didn’t reply. She just stared at her sister’s hospital door as if she was in some sort of trance. She couldn’t move for some odd reason. It felt as if something was literally holding her back. “No,” was the only word she mustered.

“Ashley,” Spencer questioned concerned.

“No,” the rocker repeated this time slightly stronger. “No. I can’t.”

The blonde frowned thoroughly confused. “Ashley, Kyla is-”

“That’s my sister in there,” Ashley muttered taking a step back. Her breathing began to escalate and her words picked up speed. “My sister was in a coma and now she’s awake but she almost died. My sister almost died Spencer. My sis-”

“Ashley, calm down,” Spencer whispered cupping her fiancée’s cheeks. “Shh, it’s okay.”

“Kyla almost died and now she’s awake,” the rocker repeated. She spoke the words as if this was her first time Kyla’s condition had dawned on her. “She was supposed to die.”

The blonde was taken aback by those words, “What do you mean Ashley,” she asked carefully.

“Everybody always leaves me,” Ashley said shaking her head. “But, she’s still here … she hasn’t left me. Kyla’s still with me she … she didn’t leave me,” she murmured as her eyes began to water slightly.

“She’s still here,” Spencer nodded reassuringly. She leaned her forehead against the brunette’s and whispered. “Kyla is still here. Your sister is still here Ashley.”

“She’s not gone,” Ashley cried out burying her head in the crook of Spencer’s neck as she held onto the blonde as if her life depended on it.

Spencer slowly maneuvered them to a row of seats located not too far off from Kyla’s hospital room. The rocker sobbed quietly for a few more minutes on the blonde’s shoulder.
