Previously on Graduation Day

"…hey pretty girl" I said incredibly weak, she looked up and smiled and gave me a hug then kissed me

"Ashley…baby…I thought you were gone…" she said crying

"shhh it’s ok Spence…I’m here, I’m not going anywhere…" I told her

"I was so scared…" she told me looking into my eyes

"shhh" I said lifting her chin "…I’m here ok, and I promise you…I’m not going anywhere…" I told her

Chapter 23!

At this moment, there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world…some are running scared, some are coming home, some tell lies to make it through the day…others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good and some are good, struggling with evil…6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls, and sometimes all you need is one…

"hey…" I said while waking up to Spencer

"hey…" she said kissing me on the forehead "…feeling any better?"

"now that you’re here…yes" I said smiling weakly

"how’s your leg?"

"fine now…ask me when I’m not on morphine" I said trying to laugh, but my ribs started to hurt

"you ok?"

"yeah, my ribs just hurt a little bit still…" I said

"well…not that this has to do with anything…but I brought you your Ipod…"

"awesome…I’m dying in here…well not literally, but just being stuck with you and your mind…it starts to drive you a little crazy…" I said

"I cant even imagine…" she said putting my Ipod down next to me on the bed, I took her hand in mine and laced our fingers together "…I missed this…"

"missed what, me being in a hospital bed? Because I’m pretty sure we’ve never gone through this…" I said making her laugh

"no…you holding my hand back…" she said softly, I let go of her hand a whipped a tear from her face

"hey…I’m fine ok…I’m not going anywhere…you’re stuck with me"

"you say that like it’s a bad thing…" she said laughing at herself

"aw…you’re so cute when you laugh at your own jokes…" I said to her

"you’re lucky you’re in a hospital otherwise I’d hit you right now…" she said
