❀I'm A Trainwreck❀

✰ Jon's POV: ✰

The nurse's tennis shoes started tapping on the floor and I heard some other person walk in with her. Sounded more like boots or high heels, if it's a girl, that's with the nurse, rather than tennis shoes. Neither of my brothers were wearing boots, so what the fuck? Who done came? It better fucking not be Anna, how the fuck would she know my parent is doing bad? No, it can't be her. It absolutely cannot be.

Kennedi, my dad's nurse, and a blonde girl walked in. Right as my eyes locked onto the blonde figure. I knew exactly who it was; Ashland. My tears started coming down even more and faster than they had ever before. She literally traveled all the way from Massachusetts to Tennessee, just to be here with me and my family. No one's ever done that for me. An act of kindness like that is definitely something I'll remember for a lifetime.

Glaring straight at the bed where my dad was laying, Ashland leaned down to give him a gentle hug, and if I looked at it correctly, she kissed his forehead. Seeing that only made me realize my feelings for Ash is only going to grow even harder than ever. She loves her family, I know she does, but knowing she also loves my family means so much to me and my heart, no one will ever truly know how happy that makes me.

"Daddy Langston, I don't know how, why, or what happened, and I don't even know if you can hear me right now, but it's me, Ashland. Jon's... Best friend. I flew in from Boston last minute, actually. I've heard that you were in the hospital, man, seeing you like this pains me, in every way imaginable. Same with your loving wife and amazing sons. They all love you, and I do too. Get better soon."

The pain everyone in this hospital room was feeling was just so unbearable. This is going to be a long road for everyone, including myself. But, as long as I have Ashland by my side, everything will turn out okay.. At least, that's what I'll be hoping for, anyway. Best turn of events would be, my dad waking up, being aware of all of his surroundings, and eventually, him getting released from the hospital.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm thinking way too ahead with this whole situation, but like Tupac sings, you've gotta keep your head up.

Man, though, I've got to say, Tupac sure was a man of talent and many, many words. That's just my opinion, though, haha. People get shocked when they find out I listen to and know who in the world Tupac is. It's actually really funny seeing their reactions.

Ashland got finished with spending that time with Daddy and came over to sit right in between Mama and me. Well shit, then. Ash made herself at home real quick. Not that I'm complaining by any means! I'm just so glad she's here with me. I've been craving her existence more than before, because I wasn't able to make it out to Boston for tonight's show, which sucks beyond measure.

"Jon, I- I am so sorry. I've never been in this situation, but you guys definitely are giving me the vibes that none of y'all are taking this hurdle good... At all!" Ash frowned. "Which is understandable, I get that, but listen to me, everything will blossom out the way it's supposed to in due time. I can't say how or when, as I don't know that, but trust me on that one, JLang."

Without any other thought crossing my brain, the only thing left for me to do was fall into Ashland's open and warm arms, and don't ever think to let go. This woman is my saving grace, without a doubt. No matter what, I'll be holding onto her as tight as possible today. Who knows when will be the next time I'll get to see her? Exactly, so enjoying the time I do have with Ashland is very crucial.
