"Do you care about anyone but yourself?  Spencer is in the hospital and is in bad condition.  I will not go into detail because SHE does not want you to know.  You think we are the ones keeping you from her but we’re not SHE is.  SHE does not want to see you.  SHE has told me all of this and SHE wants me to tell you not to try and see her again.  If SHE wants to see you than she will.  Ashley you have broken her heart by choosing Aiden, I don’t care why.  All I care about is that you go on with your life and leave Spencer alone."  I release Ashley shirt and back away.  I hope she realizes now that it is Spencer’s choice and I am trying to honor it.

===============================

Spencer

The nurses leave after they have made sure that I was calm enough.  Leighson walks back in.

"So…are you alright?  Ok stupid question."  She grumbles to herself and I can’t help but smile.

"I am alright.  Ashley is just…well the whole situation is complicated and I cannot do complicated right now.  I just want to try and get better so let’s start with the therapy."  I say hoping she takes the hint that I do not want to talk about it.

"I don’t think that is a good idea.  You had to much stress today.  How about I just come back tomorrow and we can start then."

"But I want to start today."  I protest wanting her to start.

"Spencer right now we cannot do that much anyway.  Tomorrow the doctors are going to take another x-ray to determine where the bullet is now that the swelling has gone down."  Leighson states and I realize that she is right I just wanted something to take my mind off the upcoming x-ray.  I guess Ashley did actually help with something.

"Alright, I guess you know best.  We can start tomorrow after hearing what the doctors say."

"Good, well then I will see you tomorrow."  She picks up her bag getting ready to leave.

"Where are you from?"  I blurt out.

"What?"  She looks at me questionely.

"You have a slight accent and I don’t really want to be alone."  She smiles at me and sets her bag back down.
