-Luke's POV-
I woke up with the sun shining in my face. Today is the day I have to pick up Ashely. I quickly took a shower, and got dressed. Then I brushed my teeth and headed out the door. I got in my car and drove to the hospital, and my fingers were all tingly. I couldn't wait to see ashley again. I signed in at the front desk. "Hi, I'm here to pick up Ashely Higgens."
" May I see your id?"
I rolled my eyes and handed it over. Security is a bitch. " She's in room 207."
I thanked him and fake smiled.
I found the room easily and knocked on the door. Nurses, and doctors were crowded around Ashely. One of the doctors came rushing up to me.
" I suggest you keep her under close watch. We don't know what happened, since she hasn't woken up yet, but we are assuming she attempted suicide."
"I'll talk to her. May I be alone?"
They nodded and all left the room hurriedly. I walked up to Ashley's bed. "Don't die on me baby. You have so much to love for. Don't take that away. Your life is precious. Your like a gentle flower, that gets yanked up by strong winds."
Her breathing was slow and calm. Then suddenly she spoke. " I love it when you speak poetry,"
I gasped, and fangirled. She laughed slowly. I attacked her in a hug, her body was warm, and soft. " Don't want to kill me again?" She muttered into my shirt. By this point I realized I was crying silently. She looked at me, with warm green eyes. " Hey," she whispered. " I'm fine, don't cry."
I wiped my tears away and sat up. " What really happened?" I asked.

-Ashley's POV-
I was telling Luke the whole story. I wanted to end it all. But I pushed myself. For him. When I finished I looked up at Luke. His eyes were wide open and his jaw was dropping. " Everyone thinks you committed suicide!" He said.
I suspected people would think that. "Yah," I replied slowly. " Now can we please get the fuck out of here?"

-Luke's POV-
I drove her back home, and decided I would stay with her until things got better. God knows what would happen if the girl came back. " I just want to call my friend Audri, to let her know what happened," ashley said.
" Ok!" I called. " I'm making some breakfast, so I'll call you when it's ready."

-Ashely's POV-
It rang a few times before Audri picked up. She was panting. " Ashley,"she whispered, out of breath. " There's a guy in my house. Come help me!" She was sobbing. " He's crazy! He looks like some sort of crazy rapist dude!"
" I'm coming!" I whisper/screamed into the phone.
" Don't hang up," she whimpered.
I dashed down the stairs.
"LukemyfriendAudriisinbigtroubletheresaguyinherhousedrivemethereplaese!"
"Ouch!" He screamed.
" I just burned myself!"
" Luke! She's gonna fucking die, or get raped!" I screamed, pacing.
" I'm coming!" He said, wincing as he ran water over his abused finger.
"1002!" She whispered.
" Got it!"
I grabbed Luke keys and scrambled out the door. My arm still really hurt from the stitches. But I shrugged it off. My friend needed me.

We drove in the car and were almost there. " You ok Audri?" I whispered.
No response. " Audri?" I whimpered. The line went dead.
