Important A/N AT END OF CHAPTER
Chapter 17.
- Rebecca's P.O.V -
A cold breeze that came from the window that was slightly opened to let some fresh air in our room, woke me up from my deep sleep. I kept my eyes shut and groaned, and reached for the blanket but my hand only met with the air, as there was no blanket. I looked beside me to see Calum completely wrapped into the blanket. I try to pull a bit of the blanket off him but it's unmovable.
'Calum,' I whisper, kind of not wanting to wake him up but still wanting the blanket.
He doesn't give any reaction. I put my hand on his shoulder and shake him lightly:
'Cal,' I say, a little louder now. He only stirs but doesn't wake up.
I look at the clock on the night stand, it is 7:30. Although it is weekend, i decide to just get up, as i don't want to wake up Calum. He needs his sleep more than i do, as the tour has tired him a lot and he probably didnt get any sleep on the plane ride back here . I get out of the bed , and put on a sweater and yoga pants. I get your phone from the night stand and make my way into the kitchen.
I poured some cereal for myself and picked up my phone , scanning through the messages. I furrowed my eyebrows noting 21 missed calls from Ashton , and 5 from Mali , 6 From my mother and 12 from my father. I quickly placed down the bowl and called Ashton.
'Ashton?... Ashton are you there?'' the call was connected but he wasn't answering me.
''Ashton??...''
''Sh- .. Sash-..'' he voice was breaking and i could hear him sobbing on the other end of the line
''Ashton whats wrong? Its Sasha.What going on is she okay?''
''Ashton please!.''
''Sh-.. S-.. i can't i can't do this. Why did this happen.''
''What Ashton , Why did what hapen?! Right i'm coming to the hospital now. DON'T MOVE!!'' i yelled and put the phone down and ran into the bedroom , flinging my slipper at Calum's head. Which caused him to groan and lift his head looking at me.
''What was that for !.''
''Calum we need to go. Sasha's woken up and Ashtons a mess and somethings gone wrong okay? We need to go !..'' i yelled grabbing some shoes and slipping them on.
Calum shot up and grabbed some shorts , a t-shirt and his shoes and ran out in front of me grabbing the car keys and holding the door open for me as we both ran down the stairs and out onto the carpark. Calum speeding his way to the hospital.

- Sasha's P.O.V -
My eyes fluttered open. Around me were white walls and heart monitors, blank colors and a constant, annoying beep. When my vision cleared, I truly started to look around.
A boy sat at my side, head bowed, eyes closed. His long fingers grasped loosely to mine, running his thumb over my knuckle. he was talking softly to himself, like he was in prayer. I felt it rude to interrupt him at such a sacred time, to tell him that i had no recollection as to who he was and why he was there, so I waited quietly.
After a few moments, he lifted his head, his eyes coming open. A sea of red flooded his eyes, surrounding his bright greeny eyes. His hair all around his face, swept over to one side. He was honestly the most beautiful person I had ever seen. There was only one problem though.
I didn't know who he was.
A wide smiled spread across his face.
"Sasha! How long have you been awake?" he asked.
"A few minutes," I replied. "How do you know me?" I asked him.
His face dropped. "What do you mean?"
"How do you know me? It's not a hard question," I replied. "Because I have no clue who you are,"
His mouthed gaped open. His fingers released mine and he fell back into his chair. He looked totally heartbroken.
"You don't know who I am," he muttered into his hands. He rubbed his face. "They told me to expect memory loss, but they said nothing about this,"
"Who is 'they'?" I asked.
He peeked through his fingers. "You don't know why you are here?" he asked. I shook my head. He stood up. "Oh, no," he started saying. "this isn't happening," a few tears fell down his face.
"What isn't happening?" I asked. He gave no answer, but continued to pave the floor.
"What's not happening?! And who are you?" I asked, my body shaking violently.
The heart monitor was going on a frenzy. Nurses started to rush in, giving me medicine through my IV to calm me down. Soon I was calm, only breathing heavily. I sank back into the hospital bed.
"Who are you?" I asked calmly.
This boy drew in a deep breath. "I'm Ashton Irwin, your fiancé,"
I shook my head and started to laugh. How could such a gorgeous boy be my boyfriend let alone my husband? I knew that there were some parts of my life that I could not remember, but I didn't get this kind of luck.
Things went calm again. "How long have you known me?"
He took in another deep breath. "six years now,"
"How did we meet, Ashton?"
"London... we were going out to a new year party and my sisters friend invited you ," he answered, nearly emotionless. There was a silence that didn't feel awkward even though we had just met.
"How did I get here?" I asked him.
"My sister Rebecca was shopping with you ," Ashton came back over and sat down beside me. "I was over in America in the middle of a tour when the hospital called me that afternoon. Apparently, a drunk driver hit you and Rebecca head on and you went into a coma,"
"What happened to Rebecca?"
"sHe got away fine just a few scratches and bruises , the babi-..," he answered. "She didn't get it nearly as bad as you did,"
"Baby? Did you say baby?'' i looked down at my stomach and bit my lip as i saw a huge scar
''Yes...her baby is fine... bu- but...''
''But what Ashton?'' i said now things becoming clear as my eyes started to water
''My... Your... Our baby she , she died on impact i'm so sorry.'' he said his voice cracking and shaking his head. ''I've lost both of you now.'' he cried
''How long have I been in a coma?"
"Two weeks... i got here a week ago," he whispered, his voice starting to break. I closed my eyes and tried to comprehend this whole story that I'd just heard. I'd just been in an accident. Okay. He was my husband. My... our baby had died.
''Ashton...''
''Yeah?'' he answered looking up at me with hopeful eyes and i shook my head , reaching up to wipe my thumb across his cheek wiping away the tears.
'' Can you leave me alone for a bit. It's alot to take in.'' i sighed he nodded and pulled my hand up to his lips pressing a soft kiss to the knuckles making me sigh and close my eyes. When i re-open them he's gone and there are multiple doctors and nurses in the room.
- Ashtons P.O.V-
I walked out of her room and ran , to the nearest restroom. I just sat in the stall and cried. I couldn't believe she didn't remember me at all. Suddenly I heard someone enter the restroom,
"Ashton Fletcher Irwin, get you arse out here right now!!" It was Rebecca. I came out of the stall with tears still falling down my face,
"Becky, she doesn't remember me as her husband, i'm a stranger to her now." Rebecca grabbed my shoulders and looked me in the eye,
"Sitting in here crying isn't going to change anything,"
"Just remember she fell in love with you once she will again if you try ... you could even try to the jog her memory the doctors said sometimes it helps to regain people's memory," Rebecca said with a smile. I opened the bathroom door to reveal Calum eavesdropping on the conversation.
"Yeah sorry about that mate," Calum said, slightly embarrassed.
"It's fine,"
"Sorry, to her about Sasha. We will be right behind you the entire time," Calum stated, with Rebecca nodding her head, agreeing with him
"Thanks mates, you're the best," I hugged them as we head back to our chairs. I rested my head in my hands,
"I don't know what to do, how am I supposed to make her see me for the real me and not the 'famous' me." We sat there in silence for a moment before Calum spoke,
'' You'll think of something mate. '' he smiled.
''Alright i'll be out in a minute guys.'' i said. They both nodded and walked out of the room.
- Rebecca's P.O.V -
As soon as we exited the bathroom i turned to Calum who already had his arms open and i walked into them sobbing softly into his chest
''Why did this have to happen.'' i cried
''Shh baby it wasn't your fault. They'll figure it out. I'm sure the doctors will be able to do something okay?'' he said and hugged me closer i could hear his voice cracking and i knew he was also crying.
"Promise me everything will be okay Calum?''
'' I promise baby.'' he sighed and kissed my head.
