Loving Annabelle

Chapter 13

"I really want to be in there with Simone." Annabelle sighed as she leaned against the wall.

"Do you love her?" Lara blurted out.

Annabelle smiled. "I am. I know it's too soon. I care about her. She's more then what I could've ever imagined."

"That's real sweet." Lara smiled. "I wish I had something like that. Oh and I'm sorry about the whole your my girlfriend thing. Immaculata doesn't like me so I knew she wouldn't question who you are." 

"You will find someone. That's no problem." Annabelle said.

The door to Simone's room opened and Immaculata walked out. Annabelle went in to see that Simone had a upset look on her face. 

Lara walked in after Annabelle and stopped. "Simone I'm going to run out. I will call you and check up on you later."

Simone nodded her head. 

Lara shut the door leaving Annabelle and Simone alone. 

"Is everything okay?" Annabelle asked as she took a seat next to Simone.

"No." Simone frowned. How could she tell Annabelle?

"What's going on babe?" Annabelle grab her hand. "You can tell me anything."

"I know I can." Simone said. "I just don't know if I can tell you this."

"No matter what you tell me it's not going to change anything between you and I." Annabelle said.

"Fine." Simone swallowed. "Immaculata...has another lead. The hand gun of yours was used in a murder."

"A murder?" Annabelle raised her eyebrows.

"Yes a murder." Simone said. "The murder of Sandra Lockhart."

"Sandra? How can that be?" Annabelle asked.

"I don't know." Simone frowned. "I didn't want to tell you because that means that Cat had something to do with it. But Immaculata is determined to frame you for the murder. I will not let that happen." Simone said.

"You can't stop her. If she thinks I did it, it's going to be a matter of time before she comes after me. You know that as well as I do." Annabelle said.

"I will do whatever I can to prove that you are innocent. I will not let you go to jail over something that you didn't do." Simone said.

"You have no idea what that means to me." Annabelle said.

"I care about you. The days I have spent with you and seeing how you are I know in my heart without a doubt that you didn't do it. I will fight for you and I will keep Immaculata off your case." Simone said.

"I care a lot about you too. That means so much to me. I can't have you risk your job though." Annabelle said.

"I will do anything for you." Simone said.

Annabelle leaned down and kissed Simone as the doctor came in.

"Whoa I guess I should've knocked." The doctor said with a smile.

"Sorry." Annabelle took a seat in the chair.

"It's fine. Just maybe a bit jealous." The doctor smiled. "I'm Dr. Jana Faulkner."

"So what is this visit for?" Simone asked.

"Time to get a dose of pain medicine." Dr. Jana said.

"Alright." Simone said. "Annabelle can you do me a favor and text Lara to see if she can swing by my place to grab the folder that I have in my desk."
