Forgotten

Ashton’s POV

I scratched another mark into my cell wall, I’ve been here for six weeks. Six fucking weeks. These guys that kidnapped me said they had sent a ransom note to the address of where Elizabeth and I lived. They also said that no one has responded. But they didn’t say it with pity, in fact they broke my nose because they thought I had given them an incorrect address. I’m trying hard not to think about the fact that Elizabeth hasn’t responded to the ransom, not because it makes me feel bad, it terrifies me that she may be dying or hurt and I’m not there. I have to find a way to get out of here.

Elizabeth’s POV

I’ve been having those dreams again, the dreams with the man whose face I cannot remember, I finally got to hold my child today. He was a beautiful baby boy. Gorgeous. Luke brought him into my room earlier today, he had said the nurses were going to surprise you but he asked if he could because he wanted to see my face. I can’t decide with him. What we have, it’s more than simply a friendship. My baby is just now the appropriate maturity to actually be held, like I had given birth a week ago, yet in reality he has been in this world for nearly eight and a half months. And the entire time Luke has been like a father to him, he helps me out, changes him when it’s needed, feeds him, dresses him, and to me these aren’t things thats simply friends do.

“Beth? Hey? HEEELLLOOOO?” Luke said waving his hands in front of my face interrupting my thoughts.

“Hey” I said back to him laughing as he pretended not to hear me. “What’s up?”

“Oh nothing much, still have four tumors in me. No biggie.” He joked around.

“Yeah what’s up with that, I’d think they’d be out by now.” I said smiling.

“Well, see you may not understand because you are a girl, but we have a lot of organs in our body.” He began.

“Shut the fuck up you bastard.” I said pushing him to the side.

“Well anyway, I have one tumor in each kidney, and two in my stomach. Well the thing about this is that when you need to get both kidneys changed, you need to find two identical ones, so they have to be from the same person, i.e that person has to be dead. And well the same with stomachs.”

“Couldn’t you take out one kidney entirely then replace the other one with a random kidney?” I asked. I mean it seemed the most logical.

“Believe it or not we actually tried that when I first came, except the new kidney developed a tumor again, and they aren’t sure why, and then when they found a kidney, instead of replacing it they decided to add it so I would have two kidneys and then in another surgery they would remove the infected kidney, they had this reasoning that maybe that area of my insides was causing a tumor, but of course, that kidney developed a tumor too. So they decided that they need to do them at the same time.” He said somewhat solemnly.

“Well I’m sure you’ll find them soon enough.” I said rubbing his arm gently.

“Khmhmkm.” Someone cleared their throat. “Ms. Irwin. I believe we found some information that may be useful to you.” said my nurse.

Ashton’s POV

I’ve done it. I figured out how I am going to get out of here. Seven months is long enough. I had to get out of here, I had to find Elizabeth.

Notes

Hi, sorry these haven't been the longest. I am going through something pretty difficult right now and this story is definitely helping keep my mind off of it but I can't type for too long.
