"Ashley, Ashley can you hear me." an unfamilar voice said, to Ashley it sounded miles away. 

        "Please baby girl, please, stay with us, stay with me," she faintly heard Bekah say before she was unconcious again. 

        "Ashley, can you hear me," Bekah said as a tear rolled down her cheek. Ashley slowly nodded her head and squeezed Bekah's hand which was placed over her own. "God, I'm so glad that you are okay. You had me really worried babe."       

        "Wait, where am I?" Ashley said in a sleepy voice.

        "Your in the hospital sweetheart, do you remember what happened?"

        "Last thing i remeber is leaving the lake to go home because my mom wanted to talk to me. Did something happen on the way there."

        "You don't remember talking to your parents? At all?" Bekah asked, her voice full of concern.

        "No.." Ashley said as her heart rate and blood pressure rose on the monitors. "What happened?! What did my parents say?! Where is Cody?!"

        "Baby, calm down, please calm down." Bekah said as the doctor walked back into the room.

        "Can you please wait outside for a few minutes," the doctor said to Bekah. Bekah left the room as a tear rolled down her cheek. 

        "Bekah, what is going on in there?" asked Josh when Bekah left the room.

        "She doesn't remeber anything after we left the river. Where is Cody?"

        "He's still trying to get her parents to come, they really don't care and don't want to come. Cody texted me saying that their mom is on the phone with a lawyer discussing how to sign away her parental rights." Josh said, hes voice full of sarrow. "God! How can they just do that. She is their daughter, no matter who she wants to be with she is still thier daughter."

        "Did you call your mom?" Bekah carefully asked.

        "Yeah, shes on her way now. She can't believe that they reacted that way. Oh, and she said that Bekah and Cody will be moving in, they are like family to us anyways."

        "Okay good. I called my moms but they are at work so they aren't going to be abe to come. They said that if we need anything to just give them a call." 

        "Hey guys. Wait why are you guys  both out here? Is she okay?!" said Cody as he walked up to them.

        "She's fine, she woke up so the doctor is checking her out and probably asking her some questions. She is fine though. Where are your guys parents?"

        "At the court house. They are getting the paperwork all situated to sign away their rights to us. As of tomorrow, me and Ash will be emancipated. It'ts weird to think that im only gonna be a sophomore but im gonna be 100% in charge of myself. how do you think she will handle it?" Cody asked looking at Bekah.

        "I'm not sure, but one thing i do know is that you being here with her will definitely help her make it through everything." 

        "Ashlyn Madison" said the doctor as he walked out of the room. Bekah, Josh and Cody walked to where the doctor was standing. "I'm sorry, but I need to speak to a legal gaurdian."

        "Thats not going to happen," Cody said. "I'm her brother. Our parents are currently at the court house signing away their parental rights for both me and Ash. They had just kicked us out before she passed out."

        "Okay, that would explain the extreeme stress she is under. She is awake and stable. I'm prescribing her an anti anxeity medication, as well as one to help with general stress. I also advise you guys to get her to vist a councelor so that she can vent and de-stress. I was planning on discharging her, but she needs a gaurdian's signature, considering she is not yet emancipated. There is an Alyssa Madison listed as one of her emergency contacts, would she be able to come sign her out?" said the doctor speaking mainly to Cody.

        "Yeah, shes our oldest sister. I will call her right now." Cody said.         

        "Okay, Her paperwork is all ready to go once someone is here to sign her out. Untill then you kids are more than welcome to go and sit in the room with her." the doctor said before walking away.

        "You guys go on in. I'm gonna call Lyssa and then i will be in there. Oh, and please don't tell her anything till i am in there." Cody said and walked away with his cell phone in his hand.

        "Hey babe, you okay?" Bekah asked as they walked into the room. 

        "Alot better now. They said i can go home as soon as i get signed out. So im just waiting," Ashley said as she smiled at Bekah. "Won't you just come here and kiss me baby doll."

        "If you say so." Bekah walked to the top of Ashley's hospital bed and kissed her just as Cody walked back into the room.

        "Well that is an odd sight to see." Cody said and they all laughed. "On a different note, I got ahold of Lyssa and she is on her way here right now. She said she is glad we called her."

        "Thanks little bro, and you didnlt have to leave with me, I would have understood if you stayed." 

        "Ash," Cody said as he grabed her hand that Bekah wasn't holding. "You are my big sis, you have always been there for me, and without you i would have never been able to survive in our household for as long as I did. You have always been my rock and now im going to be yours."

        "AWWW Cody!" Ashley said and gave him a hug. "You are the bestest little brother ever"

        "Ashley?" said a voice as the door opened.

        "Oh my god! Lyssa!!!!! I've missed you soo much. Thanks a ton for coming."

        "Of course. I didnt think they would kick out another 2 of their children, shows how much i under estimate them at times." said Lyssa. "I'm gonna go sign you out so that you guys can go do your thing, but i seriously want to hang out with you guys soon. Feel free to come by and see little Hannah Nicole whenever. She misses her aunty Ash-e-ly and uncle Cody-kins." Lyssa said before getting ready to leave. "I love you too, and i missed you guys." she said as she left the room.

        "Okay, So we're all going to my house right. Get everything situated and go from there?" Josh asked. 

        "Yeah, i think that sounds good." Ashley said. They all grabbed their things and as soon as the doctor gave them the okay to leave, they all left the room and pilled back into Josh's car and were off to his house.
