have already lost some blood.An ambulance was called and all three escorted her to the hospital.
The wound had to be sutured and the friends were asked to sit down and wait.
Matt paced impatiently up and down.
Meanwhile, Ryan tried to calm Rachel, who was now trembling even more and was obviously very afraid for her friend.
Finally Matt sat down and now looked directly across from them.
He looked at Rachel seriously and was the first to say something again since the accident.
"Why .. did you call her Ash?"
He had been confused when he heard Rachel scream that name, but found it inappropriate to ask her while he had Ashley in his arms, bleeding from the head.
She looked up at Matt with a tear in her face, then turned away from him.
"Actually .. it's not my job to answer that question for you ... but .." she swallowed.
".. the one you met as Anna is actually your pen pal Ashley .." she said rather quietly."What?" Matt started, his eyes wide.
"Yeah .. I can confirm it. I saw a photo of you in her bag today and was wondering myself." Ryan interfered.
Matt looked thoughtfully at the cold hospital tiles and thought of the moment when she had hugged him so wildly.
Now he finally understood her behavior, why she had constantly fled from him and why she often blushed.
A smile spread across his lips.
"Oh Ash ..", he smiled and couldn't believe that he could finally look his pen pal in the eyes.
The doctor disturbed the three and looked at them.
Rachel walked up to him stormily.
"What about her? Is she okay? Did the operation go well? Did she survive everything?" She pestered him with questions.
The doctor looked at Rachel in surprise and smiled slightly.
"Yes .. everything is okay with her. She is awake now and the operation went well. She only has a slight concussion.You can now if you want to. "he said kindly.
Rachel immediately rushed off to her, but Ryan held her back.
"Let Matt go first," he whispered to her.
She wanted to refuse at first, but then nodded in agreement.
"Ok Matt .. you go first," Ryan said, nodding.
"But I.."
He paused for a moment.
"Ok ..." he said quietly and thanked both of them silently.

Ash still had a slight headache, but otherwise she was doing pretty well. She couldn't wait to get out of here because she actually hated hospitals.
There was a knock on the door and she looked there.
"Matt .." she whispered.
"May I come in?" He asked politely with a gentle smile.
Ashley just gave a slight nod and saw him walk over to her.
The last thing she thought about now was that he knew who she really was.
He gently stroked her hair a little.
"What kind of things do you always do?" He smiled.
Inevitably she blushed and looked at him a little confused."What do you mean by that?"
"You don't need to hide any longer ... I know who you are."
Her eyes widened and she looked at him with her mouth slightly open.
"What?" She whispered.
"Why didn't you say anything? Were you afraid I'd tear your head off?" He grinned slightly.
"I .. I ..", she stopped speaking and looked away ashamed.
"Oh Ash ..." he looked at her.
His gaze shifted to her hand. He gently laid his on top of hers and ran his thumb over the back of her hand.
This only made her blush all the more and she felt like hiding under the covers.
"You would never have told me if this accident hadn't happened, huh?"
"Well ... someday ... maybe ...", she smiled sheepishly.
"Great, then I would have gone home and never found out that I actually met my pen pal, yes?", He sighed.
"I'm sorry .. please don't be angry .." she said apologetically and looked away."It's okay .. I'm not mad at you .." he almost whispered.
With big googly eyes and a gentle smile, she looked at him again.
"Thanks."
"But .. now I also know why you hugged me so wildly when we were sitting on the beach.", He grinned cheekily.
Again she turned red like a tomato and quickly looked away.
'How embarrassing ... did he have to bring that up? 'she thought to herself.
"I'll get Rachel, she's really worried about you.", He winked and disappeared.
A short time later Rachel and Ryan were already in the room and Rachel hugged her friend stormily and cuddled her.
"That you always have to scare me."
"I'm sorry." Ash smiled sheepishly.
"Now make sure that you get out of here quickly so that we can still enjoy the rest of our vacation."
"The doctor said that I would be released again today and only have to pull the strings again.", She grinned.
"That means we can take you with us now?""In a moment ..", interfered a voice.
The doctor had come back and looked at the papers that were pinned to a clipboard.
"I just want to examine her one last time and then she can go with you again," he smiled pleasantly.
He asked the three friends out and checked Ashley again for all possible causes. But the slight concussion remained and she was allowed to leave the room.
Rachel gave her a big hug again.
"Hey .. I'm fine.", She waved him off.
"Still ..." she mumbled softly and gave it another squeeze.

After about an hour and a half they were back in the hotel complex, where they went straight to lunch.
Matt suggested that they walk around town after dinner to see them, but Rachel and Ryan just waved them off, bored.
"It's nice to be alone, I'm not in the mood for something like that.", Ryan mumbled and Rachel agreed.
He glanced briefly at the two of them, then turned to Ash."What about you?" He asked almost, as if hoping she wouldn't rebuff him.
"Gladly ..", she beamed.
"Nice..
