FATED TO LOVE {STORY OF US}

chapter 10

Chloe, Greg, and Raymond ran into the school clinic, their hearts pounding.

"What the hell did you do to her?" Greg demanded, his eyes blazing with anger.

"I didn't do anything!" Alex protested, his voice rising in panic. "I swear, I didn't hurt her!"

"We don't believe you," Chloe said, her hands balled into fists. "Something must have happened. And if it was your fault, we're going to make you pay."

"I would never hurt her!" Alex cried, his eyes pleading. "I don't know what happened.

Just as Greg was about to speak, Regina and her friends barged into the room.

"What's going on?" Regina asked, her eyes darting around the room.

"You're not welcome here," Chole said, her voice sharp. "Why don't you leave?"

"I just want to know what's happening," Regina said, her tone pleading. "My friend is hurt and I'm worried about her."

"We're trying to figure that out," Cynthia said, stepping between Chole and Regina. "Please, let's all just stay calm."

"Your friend?" Chole scoffed. "You don't even know her."

Regina's face flushed with anger. "I do know her, and I'm worried about her. I'm not leaving until I know what happened."

"We don't have time for this," Chole snapped. "Your dramatics aren't helping anyone."

Just then, the nurse emerged from the back room. "I need everyone to be quiet," she said sternly. "This is a place of healing, not drama."

"How is she?" Chole asked, her voice trembling.

"She's fine," the nurse replied, a reassuring smile on her face. "She's resting now, but she'll be alright."

"Can we see her?" Chole asked, her eyes pleading.

"Yes, but only for a few minutes," the nurse said. "I don't want to disturb her."

Alex hesitated, then turned to leave the clinic. Greg, his expression unreadable, followed close behind.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" Chole demanded, grabbing Regina's arm.

"I just want to make sure Ariel is okay," Regina protested, trying to pull away from Chole's grasp. "I promise I won't make a scene."

"I can't risk it," Chole said, her voice cold. "Leave. Now."

Regina's shoulders slumped, and she turned to leave. Raymond hesitated for a moment, then followed chole to enter the ward.

"Aren't you going to apologize to her?" Greg asked, an edge to his voice.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," Alex replied, running a hand through his hair. "I don't think she'll want to hear from me right now."

"Of course she won't," Greg said, exasperated. "But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make things right."

"I know," Alex said, his shoulders slumping.

"so, Why did you leave the clinic?" Greg  asked, turning to Alex.

"I felt ashamed of myself," Alex  said, his voice heavy with emotion. "When she woke up, I was too ashamed to show my face. I don't want to make this situation worse. At least she's awake now."

"So, are you going to apologize to her?" Greg asked.

"She doesn't want to see me, let alone talk to me,"Alex  said, his voice shaking. "My presence disgusts and irritates her."
