Another Timezone

twenty nine

I talk to my dad and Skyler while the doctor goes through my charts. They may let me go home early. I can only hope that they do, today is my last day with ashton.

"Well Ms. Lee, you've seen to have recovered, extremely fast I might add." He smiles. "I'll have your discharge papers done by noon."

"Thank you." I smile as he walks out.

"Sky.." I smile, looking at my dad.

He nods, and walks out of the room.

"I don't think you should leave your life in Arizona." I look away from her.

"What? Why?" She says confused.

"It's asking to much, way to fast. And after this all. I don't think it's good." I feel a tear go down my face.

"Do you not like me anymore..?" She gulps in sadness.

"No, let's just see how things go." I wipe my cheek.

"Well you're already moved in to your new room." She stands up and storms out of the room.

"Sky!" I yell, sighing. I shouldn't have said anything. I guess meeting in person is harder than we thought.

Ashton walks in, slowly closing the door. "What happened?" He questions, sitting next to me.

"I said things I shouldn't have." I chuckle. "They moved houses already?" I look up to him.

"Yeah, they starting unboxing last night." He smiles.

"Dammit." I mutter

"What?" He questions.

"I don't know if it's such a great idea. It's a huge commitment. And I don't need Stacy leaving him and I." I sigh, in fear.

"I get it, well, just go home and see how it is." He smiles, holding my hand.

"Thank you." I smile and rest my eyes. "I'm getting released today."

"That's great! You have to make me a promise." He trails off.

"What would that be?"

"You'll eat, and be healthy. I don't want to be sitting here again.." A tear goes down his cheek.

"Im going to try as hard as I can." I wipe his cheek, and squeeze his hand. "Do you have to leave today?" I pout.

"I already missed a show, I wish I could stay." He pouts back.

"I know, I know. I just don't want you to leave me." I pull myself up and look into his eyes.

I smile, biting my lip. "Your hair got so long in the past two weeks, wow." I chuckle.

"I know!" He chuckles, leaning in and kissing me softly. "I'm so happy you're awake." He whispers.

"Me too." I give him a soft kiss. I know that I meant it, but I also knew that I didn't want to wake up. And that terrifies me almost just as much as being in the coma did.
