Before the close of day, Annie had arrived and was waiting for her outside. She sounded urgent when she called. As soon as Alexander heard Annie was already in the parking lot, she decided to sneak out, before anyone would approach her, but then, she was stopped by her father, who just walked into the office, at the same time, she was about to leave."Alex my daughter, you have been on your own all day, I hope you are fine? 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. Damien was not sure, if he was seeing right, but he was confused about her attitude, that he thought it must have something to do with Ryan Scott again, so he planned to approach him. If his daughter wouldn't speak to him, he is sure,
The world spun around Alexander, as she bolted out, her mind racing faster than her legs. She had seen them kissing. The kiss-oh, that kiss had changed her mind and everything she thought she was begining to feel for him. She have heard about Juliana in the passing. She had even asked him about her, but he never speaks much about her. It was as though he didn't feel anything for her, but what she had seen tonight, had answered all her unasked questions.One moment she was trying to escape the hunting memories of Ryan, and the next, she is caught in a whirlwind of emotions. Her heart pounded like a drum, as she fumbled with her car keys, her hands trembling.Ryan turned to look at Juliana, wondering why she had all of a sudden, forcefully kiss him, when they were just having a discussion on his father's progress, but upon seeing Alexander, he knew what happened and why Juliana had done that. He was angry with her, but he needed to explain to Alexander first, before showing Juliana, j
Ryan arrived at the hospital, and with feasibly shaky hands, he managed to call her parents, bracing himself for the inevitable blame.

He watched as Alexander was rushed to the emergency room.In the emergency room, doctors and nurses were working tirelessly to stabilize Alexander. The beeping of monitors, the rush of medical staff and the urgent voices giving orders to get one thing or another, created an atmosphere of controlled chaos. They were administering IV fluids, checking viral signs, and preparing for possible surgery, if there should be any. Their aim was to stabilize her condition and prevent any further complications.Ryan sat on the floor with his hands on his head.He kept looking at the entrance, but the moment he looked away, burying his head in between h

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. Juliana, she did it to hurt you. She knows I have nothing to do with her and never will, and that's why she did it". He sniffed, wiping away a tear that had escaped down his cheek. "But you surprised me, and you also
Ryan spent the night in the parking lot, unaware that dawn had broken until a bright light shone on him. He winced, opening his eyes to see Lindsay and Damien Brick. Startled, he quickly stood up. "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? She asked rhetorically. Ryan wasn't surprised by her words; he knew she had brought Damien early to see if her plan had worked. He had his own plans waiting for her to realize the truth."What are you talking about ma'am? He asked, but she had already hurried after Damien, eager to witness the doctors and nurses confusion. Inside, everyone greeted them warmly. Lindsay, confused, assumed they hadn't checked on t
After Ryan checked on Alexander and he found her still sleeping, he began to fear. wondering , if she, by any means, took the substance given to her. He left and came back the next day and he kept visiting like that until exactly two weeks after the accident.Ryan carefully eased open the door to the room, his heart pounding with a mix of hope and dread. "I hope I don't worsen her situation". He prays. The nurse had called him that she woke up earlier, but he wasn't there. He wants to be there when she opens her eyes. Inside, he found Alexander, who was propped up in bed, and a nurse, standing by. The nurse's eye narrowed as she noticed Ryan's entrance. It was way past the visiting hours, and though Ryan had been coming often, she still needed to tell him."You can't be in here", she said firmly.Alexander, however was already awake and gave a soft reassuring gesture. "Allow him in", she said, her voice carrying a faint trace of relief. Ryan took a deep breath and stepped into the r
"You need to go home and freshen up", Alexander managed to whisper, her voice barely audible before fatigue pulled her back into a deep sleep. Ryan's heart aches with Concern; he couldn't beat to leave her side. He stayed, watching her breathe, hoping she would wake up. Though he didn't want to disturb her, he still finds himself kissing her, hoping his kiss will wake her up. Hours passed and night fell. The dim hospital lights cast a soft glow over the room, highlighting the serene expression on Alexander's face.When the nurse came in to ask him to leave, she found them entwined sharing the narrow hospital bed. Alexander seemed to find peace in his presence, her body relaxing against his. The nurse couldn't bring herself to disturb the scene and left quietly, allowing them this stolen moment.Annie finished her late shift, and rushed to the hospital to check on her friend. She needs to see how she is fairing. She haven't visited since the last time she lunged at Ryan in front of
