"Oh gosh" I sighed walking over to Aki and Max, we had gone back to the hospital to check on Kiki and Audrey but it seemed like Audrey needed more help than Kiki did 

"Excuse me, Nurse" Audrey said "do you know the temperature in my mother's room right now? it is 67 degrees that might be the proper temperature for bedrooms according to the  National Sleep Foundation but for the hospital room of a woman with a weakened immune system, ut's downright deplorable. How are you gonna fix it? go, turn it up" 

"That's the third nurse of the night" Max smirked as the woman hurried away looking frightened of Audrey 

"Oh and you" Another nurse looked at Audrey reproachfully as she started to go off on her 

"Do you think it's a good idea to have dinner tonight?" I asked Aki, the Menzies plus Audrey, The Bergmans, and my dad and I were all supposed to have dinner tonight 

"Maybe we should cancel" Aki suggested, suddenly Max's phone started chiming like crazy, Aki and I peered over his shoulder to see a bunch of angry girls had texted him

"Woah, I appear to be out of the loop on something" Max frowned I pulled out my phone to see that Gossip Girl had posted again  

Spotted: A lone Wolfe dropping by a hospital to pick up more than Hope's spirits, take a seat PSATs the test students should be most worried about is one you can't study for HMO PPO EMO if you've cozied up to Max Wolf lately I hope you have all your docs on speed dial. No word on how Cat Baizen is taking this news but we'll know soon enough. 

"Is those for real?" Aki asked and I burst out laughing, I knew it wasn't true

"Is Rafa right?" I asked "Rafa had to be the one to send that tip in, he just can't stay away from Max" 

"I expected more" Max said with a half-amused and half pained look on his face 

"You can expect a lot less until you clear this up," Aki told him 

"Hooking up is the last thing on my mind right now" Max snapped "But I'd better handle it before I have to present my medical records to half of Kings County which means..." he turned to look at Audrey 

"This is red dye number five!" Audrey exclaimed holding up a jello 

"I have to leave her here alone or miss dinner" Aki sighed 

"Maybe we should just grab her and run," I told Aki and he gave me a very unamused look 

"Did you two say you're taking Miss. Hope to dinner?" A random doctor came over and asked 

"Um yeah, I would but I don't think I'm gonna get her to leave"

"You have to," The doctor said desperately "we're getting complaints and not just the staff, patients too, she can come back tomorrow during visiting hours" 

"And you want her to be assailed by the sight of Lillies?!?"  Audrey was saying 

"Yeah, we'll take her"

Audrey, Aki, and I walked into dinner together only to see that somehow Zoya had gotten an invite to this occasion "What the hell" I looked at 9 chairs set at the table, one was missing, Zoya had taken Audrey's chair 

"What's going on?" Audrey asked "I thought you said they knew I was coming, the table is set for nine and there's ten of us"

"It must have been Zoya," I said making sure that Zoya heard me

"Babe it's fine" Aki assured Audrey "I didn't know Zoya was coming"

"Yeah, I didn't know till half an hour ago," Zoya told us, I took a seat next to Audrey and My dad who was already seated along with the rest of the parents
