It had been a few hours since Ashley had left. Erin was getting nervous.

"Hey, guys. Don't you think we should find Ashley?"

"She has been missing for some time," Natalie said.

"Where could she be," Courtney asked.

Erin got up and tried calling Ashley's phone, but she was sent to voicemail twice. On the third time, she got someone.

"Hello? Is this Erin MacIntosh?"

"Yes," Erin said, regretting answering the phone with her American accent.

"I'm sorry to inform you that Ashley Paris has been in an accident."

Again? Ashley could never catch a break, could she?

"Where? When?"

"At this time, she had been found in a crash near the Arts Theatre. We're currently taking her to the hospital."

Erin shook her head and grabbed a jacket. "I'll be there. Thanks you."

She turned off her phone and sighed. "Ashley's at the hospital."

"What for,"  Grace asked.

"She got in a crash. We gotta see her."

The Queens and Erin piled in into Natalie's car, and drove to the general hospital.

"Please make this easy for her," Erin muttered, "Ginny's been through too much."

Ashley woke up in a white room. For a moment, she thought of the fact that when she's in a room like this, she would be in the hospital. And she was correct.

She tried to sit up, and found both of her legs in thick casts. Shit.

"Oh, you're awake!"

She looked around and saw a doctor. "Oh, hello."

"Sorry for startling you," the doctor said, "I'm Dr. Blake. I heard you were in an accident. Your legs are both broken, unfortunately."

Ashley sighed. "How long will it take to recuperate?"

The doctor checked her notes. "6 to 8 weeks. I'm sorry."

Ashley shrugged. "It's quite alright. Thank you."

The doctor nodded slowly. "Well, there is a large group of women who say they are your family. We can only let in two at a time."

Ashley nodded, and as the doctor left, Erin and Natalie came running in, with Ronnie and Rascal at their heels.

"Ashley! You're OK!"

Ashley gave Erin a hug. "I'm fine, but my legs are both broken."

Natalie gasped. "Oh, Caramel. I'm so sorry."

Ashley nodded. "Thanks. But that means I can't perform for at least a solid two months."

Her mum gave her a hug. "Are you OK? With not performing?"

Ashley didn't move. "I don't know. I love performing, and I should be feeling sad, but now I don't feel anything."

Erin kissed her cheek. "You're in shock, Ginny. Get some rest, and the next pair to Queens will come see you."

"QUEENBEAN!"

Millie and Grace arrived into Ashley's room, and Ashley felt a very strange feeling. What was it? Oh, benegby.

"Hello, Mills! How are you?"

"Great, now that I know you're OK!"

She gave Ashley a massive hug, and Grace did too, albeit less chaotically.

"How're you feeling," Grace asked, an air of sisterly concern in her voice.

"I'm OK, Gracie. Both of my legs are broken, but I'll be better. I hope."

Mille kissed Ashley's forehead. "You're a fighter, Queenie. You'll make it!"

Ashley gave her sister a massive hug. "Thanks, guys."

Grace and Millie smiled, then left, and Maiya and Vicki walked in.

"Hey, Aunt Vicki! Maiya!"

"Hey, Pumpkin! How are you? We heard about your legs."

Ashley shrugged. "I've been better. Thanks for asking."

Vicki sat on her bed. "How long will it take for you to heal?"

"6 to 8 weeks. About a month and a half, or two months."

"Oh, that's terrible!"

"Not really, I can miss days. It's not a big deal."

Maiya gave Ashley a side-hug. "Well, once you get out, we'll go out for shakes and shopping! How does that sound?"

Ashley smiled. "Sounds great, thanks."

They left, and Lex and Jaye'J came in.

"Hey, Ginger! You OK? We heard about your legs."

Ashley nodded. She noticed the boxes in her hands.

"Are those my sweets? Have you been eating them without me, Lexi?"

Lexi quickly hid the boxes behind her back, and Ashley and Jaye'J laughed.

"It's fine! No big deal, really."

Jaye'J sat on Ashley's bed and gave her a hug. "You're gonna be OK, kiddo. Just keep fighting!"

Ashley smiled. "Thanks."

Lexi kissed her forehead and set the sweets down, and they both left, with Aimie and Courtney came walking in.

"Hey, Missy! Sorry about the crash."

"Eh, things happen."

"Well," Aimie said, "I brought you some stuff from home. Here."

She gave Ashley a tote bag, and Ashley saw her journals, art book, laptop, and headphones.

"Thanks, Aimes. And thanks, Court."

"No problem, SongBird. We know you'll feel better in no time."

They both gave her a hug and left, and Ashley smiled.

She felt so benegby, and it made her smile. Even if something happens, her family would always be there for her.
