You exhausted yourself, and now, all you can do is sleep here?". She sounded angry, but before he could say anything, Damien walked in, looking angrier.

Alexander's Misadventure
With the thought of what she had seen in mind, Alexander finally went to sleep. It wasn't easy falling asleep, because she kept turning and tossing and wondering if she had misunderstood Ryan, and accused him wrongly. And if the paparazzi guy had been lying or telling the truth? As she finally gave in to sleep, she noticed.The sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, bathing the room in a warm, golden glow.

A disheveled mess
She bolted up again, and sat up. Trying to wrap her arms around what she just read. She read it again, and this time, she could hear him laughing at her, while writing the note. Her door is still not fixed, and she wondered. What if he had watched her all through while she screams and calls his name in tamed excitement. She had been acting all strong and mean, but only a dream, a wet dream have exposed her. And what does he mean by "Interesting? Alexander repeated, her cheeks flushing. "Oh God, I must have done something embarrassing? She replayed every possible scenario in her mind, cringing at each one. Could it be possible that she was touching herself and calling on him? She was getting even more confused, and knowing that she was going to see him at work, she contemplated going.

Her phone buzzed with notifications, as she st

He asked, sounding concerned."I had a lot of files to attend to, that is why I couldn't come out to see you". She says, and was still trying to gather a few more things, when her father tries to strike a conversation with her, but she cut him short."Annie is waiting for me outside, I have to run". She says, and rushed passed him.

The resolution
The hospital refused to allow anyone stay in the room with Alexander overnight. Therefore, as Visiting hours ended, everyone had to leave. However, Ryan was adamant about staying. Not like he told anyone, he just went to the parking lot and his himself behind one of the cars.He couldn't beat the thought of not being there, when she woke up. Once he was certain that everyone had left, he discreetly snuck back into her room, taking the back door, dressed like one of the janitors. The nurses were too tired to take a second look at anyone. Ryan was discreet, quietly taking a seat beside her bed. He watched her as she slept peacefully, her eyes closed, her breathing steady."I'm sorry", he whispered, his voice barely audible in the dim room. I'm sorry you had to see that.

"Sir, good morning, he stammered. Damien stared at him for a long while, not sure what he was looking at."Did you sleep here? Damien asked. Ryan wiped his eyes and nodded. "I told you to get lost. Sleeping here won't change anything, and it won't make me change my mind", Damien said firmly. As they walked away, Lindsay spoke to Ryan."You came to finish what you have started, right?
