“And Spencer?” He asked trying to clear the lump out of his throat.

“Spencer…oh yes Miss. Carlin, well she’s awake but that’s all I can tell you. I was just about to go in and examine her.” The doctor turned to leave.

“Wait,” Ashley grabbed the older man’s jacket, “Can I come?” She needed to be near Spencer now more than ever, she had to explain that there was never a choice, it was and will all ways be her.

“I’m afraid only family…”

“I’m her brother,” Clay stated cutting the older man off, “its fine…she’s her girlfriend.” The doctor nodded his understandings and since the girls parents weren’t here and Clay was eighteen years old he could make that decision.

“Fine, follow me.” The doctor smiled and led Ashley down to the elevator. The ride to the seventh floor was slow and quiet and before the brunette had time to prepare herself she was standing in her girlfriend’s hospital room. Spencer sat up with her legs dangling from the bed, her eyes fixated on the ground.

“Hi Spencer my names Dr. Coolidge,” He extended his hand but the teen didn’t respond. Licking his lips he scanned her chart for a minute, “I see here you have two brothers… is that correct?” He asked while putting gloves on, the blonde sat motionless not even seeming to notice the other girl in the room.

“How long has she been like this?” He asked a nurse who came in to check on two other patients.

“The entire time sir, the other nurses and I have tried to get her to talk…”

Dr. Coolidge sat closer to Spencer but her focus never changed, “Spencer?”

“What’s wrong with her?” Ashley asked from her spot on the wall, the doctor had asked her not to go near the other girl for now.

“At this moment I have a pretty good idea but can’t say for sure.” He pushed his hair back, “SPENCER!” He shouted and snapped his fingers in her face, her eyes darted up to stare at him. She jumped from the table and ran for the corner, fear raking her body, Ashley’s mouth dropped open she had no clue what just went down.
