"From my diagnosis here, she more likely to be sorry from drunk orexia (anorexia combined with an alcohol use disorder)."
"She has taken too much alcohol in the past few months and not being able to eat properly which has ruined her health," the doctor continued.
"And apart from that, she is suffering from mental stress and mood disorder which might have caused early stage depression in her." " She is very strong to be able to hang on till this present moment but she will be placed on IV for another twenty four hours and given shots to see how well she'll respond to treatment."
"But there a lot to be done with her health, we will explain that as we carry out more tests on her," the doctor explained to Ashton before leaving.
And then he stared at the one person who had genuinely cared about him laying on the bed almost lifeless and probably dying slowly like she wasn't going to wake. His heart was as he touched her pale face and her cracked dry lip.
Kim called both Ximena's and Gina's phone but non was going through as she felt uneasy and restless. Where they were, was totally far from a reachable reach.
Ximena stared at the person who was right behind her and it was Brian.
"What on earth was he doing here?" But she couldn't even ask any questions as he bent down and she surprisingly hugged him and cried on his shoulders.
'The fact that he was there presently was more than enough for her,' she thought in her heart and cried more and more till she was numb. She slept off few minutes later as she carried her to his car as he looked at the bracelet in her hand before walking back to the lake side.
It has been a while since he came out to see more than his closet and class. It's been so long. But for some reason he felt her absence, her weird laughter that felt like she was forcing it, her sudden happy mood changes which he found very random and annoying too. Like she was forcing everything she did but they looked so real especially when she pestered him to do stuffs and smiled often and when she was smiling for real. But with time, he came to understand her after watching her, and then he came to the conclusion that she was probably doing everything to come out of her dark hidden closet trying everything to stay happy.
"At least she's better," he murmured and stared at the lake till it was almost sunset.
Gina wasn't showing any signs of movement leaving Ashton so worried as he paced up and down the VIP room trying to control his anger when the doctor said they had to watch her and hopes she wakes soon.
"I am sorry Gina," he kept mumbling into her ears pleading with her to wake up soon and that he was going to make up for everything. He was never going to forgive himself if anything happened to her now that he had realized. It would traumatize him the same way it did years ago or cause more damage. He sat at the window corner and curled up as his memories came popping to his head , he saw his 8 year old self crying and holding on to the knife on the floor covered in his mum's blood and she was brutally tied up.
And then his heart ached as the memories he tried to bury brought tears to his eyes and he cried painfully.
"We are all humans aren't we?"
