It had been the best nights sleep Ashlyn had had in so long, in-fact she couldn't actually remember sleeping that long without nightmares or disturbing dreams or being woken by strange or painful sensations when she was checked on and the staff caught her skin as they moved the covers. The only complaints she had really were the fact that it was such a small bed, Micah seemed to generate heat like a radiator, and his jeans were uncomfortable. It was gone 10 before she finally woke. Somehow she was now between Micahs legs, he was awake and sitting up slightly, she was curled into his chest, enjoying his hand on her hair. She blushed deeply as she recognised what was happening “uh….Morning…. You didn't have to stay you know” she whispered softly to him as she started to get out of bed. 

“Good morning my beautiful, and I did, I’ve only just got you here and you’ve spent two days unconscious and the only time you were conscious I wasn't allowed to be here, I wanted some uninterrupted time with you too” Micah smiled at her as he too stood from the bed and started to put everything back in his pockets “doc said to get dressed, if you can walk around fine then your good to go, so I’ll take you up to the house and we can chat with my dad there in our suite, you have your own room so you’ll have somewhere to go if you need space” Micah explained. 

Ashlyn nodded softly, heading over to her bag, she pulled out some of the clothes, like everything else they still had the tags on them. Clean underwear, socks, a sports bra, and a pair of leggings, there was a leather jacket on the chair next to the bag that was her size. She noticed that Micah was in the process of gathering all her stuff together, the sweets that Loki left, after he had helped himself to a couple, the book that someone had pulled out for her, the dressing gown, and packing them in her bag carefully. She smiled shyly to herself as she threw her slippers towards the bag too. “Hey! They nearly hit me!” He called out playfully, they were nowhere near hitting him. She went into the bathroom, washing and brushing her teeth, doing her hair again, and getting dressed. She sprayed the deodorant and body spray that were in the toiletry bag before packing everything up and heading out, putting the dirty pyjamas and the toiletries in the overnight bag. Her feet are quickly stuffed into the trainers and the jacket put on. Micahs eyes are on her, he cant seem to drag his gaze away, giving a little cough to clear his throat and adjusting his pants a little, his face slightly flushed he finally spoke “ok? Ready?” Picking up her bag as Ashlyn nodded. He held his arm out to Ashlyn who placed her hand on top of his wrist. That was how they left the room, Micah lead Ashlyn through the clinic to the doctors office. The doctor declared her fit to go and handed them 3 bottles, two pain killers and one for sleep if needed. Micah slotted them into a side pocket of her bag. In the reception they found Jay and Mark. Jay gave Ashlyn a brief hug and promised to come up later on after her shift. Mark stood up from where he was sat and came to Ashlyn's other side “Alright Ash?” He asked, smiling brightly when Ashlyn nodded. The three of them left the building at last. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had been driven from the hospital to the house, which looked even more like Downtown Abbey than park view had, by Micahs friend Xavier. It was a huge building. The 4 of them had got in a lift, which had taken them up to the top floor, but Ashlyn and Micahs suite was in the Attic. Ashlyn tried to climb the steep, winding stairs but had to admit defeat about half way up. Micah ran up to put her bag down and came back to carry her up the rest of the way. He set her down carefully on a sofa and grabbed her can of Fanta lemon from the fridge. She took the drink gratefully and drank half of the can before setting it on the table in front of her. Looking around the plain but tastefully decorated room, she could see several doors off the corridor, they were all the same and all shut. Micah saw Ashlyn looking and smiled at her “ready for the tour?” He asked her, offering his hand. Ashlyn took his hand carefully, her small soft hand was engulfed by his much larger one. Micah let out a soft sigh, as if it was a relief to be touching Ashlyn again in some way. Taking her to the first door, he pushed it open “this was supposed to be an office but I don’t like it so its just stuffed with junk” the room was a box room, just the right size for an office, and piled with boxes. He showed her two empty bedrooms, they were painted a neutral ivory right now. The next room he brought her too was a bathroom, “This is the general bathroom, I let guests use this one, there’s a private one in my room with a to die for shower and bath, you are welcome to use that” Micah explained. Ashlyn nodded. Next he showed her the kitchen, where to find drinks and glasses and so on. Finally he showed her into his room. It was painted ivory and grey, clearly a very masculine room, lots of blues and silvers around, posters of cars and guitars on the walls and a naked girl calendar with a few annotations on. Ashlyn stood on the threshold of the room and looked in, not wanting to invade his space, Micah didn't push it, just pointed out which door was the bathroom.

The final room to show was Ashlyn’s. this was the larger room in the corner. It was painted. Pale lilac with one wall done in a reclaimed grey-ish wood effect wall paper. There were huge bay windows on two walls giving the room a lot of light, there were also sky lights with remote control blinds. The furniture was a solid oak. There was a desk and a set of drawers out in the room, the bed was huge, big enough for 4 people really, it had a canopy over, and curtains around, both were dark purple at present. There were a stack of canvas with an easel, boxes of new art supplies, a book shelf half full of books, empty shelves around the room and a dream catcher with lights hanging inside the bed. Ashlyn was in awe. It was pretty much perfect for her. She turned to face Micah with a huge grin on her face. “Oh My Goddess! I love it! This is amazing! Even if I’m not convinced I haven’t been kidnapped by some weird cult” Ashlyn squealed. Laughing a little as she hugged him tightly. Micah laughed, hugging her back. He showed her the closet, stocked with clothes and shoes for all eventualities. Promising to take her shopping to pick her own things when she was more settled. Micah left her to unpack her art supplies and get used to her room while he waited for his father to arrive, he left the door open and each could hear the other pottering around doing their own thing, they were close enough to each other to be comfortable and relaxed.
