"I knew I'd find you." A man says. He breathes deeply.

"Um... Hi?" I ask, confused.

"Who is this?" I ask.

"Its me baby. Don't act like you forgot me or my big heart." He mutters, shamelessly.

"Lily's not here." I push out.

"Where is she then." He demands.

"I know this is her apartment." He shrieks.

"And you know that how?" I ask, contemplating hanging up on him.

"Im her boyfriend." He says.

"Oh! Im so sorry Lily never mentioned you before!" I say relieved thinking it was a psychopath.

"What happened to Lily? Is she ok?" He asks with some emotion.

"Shes in the hospital, she gave hersel- got a big cut and stepped on some glass." I stutter.

"Oh no Lily!" He yells, sarcastically.

"When can I talk to her?" He asks.

"Im not sure to be honest." I say, more confused than before.

"Well do you know which hospital shes at? I need to see if shes ok." He asks.

"Yea shes at the hospital off Ridge Way. The one north of our apartments." I say.

"Interesting." He mutters.

"What?' I ask.

"Nothing. Don't tell her i'm coming. I want it to be a surprise." He says.

"Sure, I guess not. I wont." I smile.

"I'm Jennifer by the way." I declare.

"Jonathan." He whispers. There is a long moment of silence, I hear him breathing through the phone.

"So." I say, trying to clear the silence.

"Soo" he says back.

"How long have you and Lily been together?" I ask, curious.

I hear the sound of a door opening from his end of the phone.

"Fuck." He mutters, I hear it.

"Get back in there!" He yells, hanging up the phone. The dial tone beeps. What just happened? I ask myself.

"Hello?" I whisper. It beeps again. I hang up the phone and think about what just happened. I remember why I came here and walk towards her messy room. I grab a blue shirt and grey track pants from off the floor and walk towards the open apartment door, still trying to make sense of the conversation with Jonathan.

"He's her boyfriend." I whisper. She would have mentioned him.

"He cares about her." Who was he yelling at when he hung up?

"He wants to see her." Why would he tell me I finally found you if they were together?

"Maybe I should have hung up." Agreed. My mind tells me. I walk out of the apartment, closing the main light and the door.

I walk down the hallway and into the staircase with Lily's clothes in my hands.

I reach the main floor and approach the door. Shit. I see the can driver talking with a policeman. I turn around and find the hotel manager stopping to look at the clock. 11:12.

"You want to know how Lily's doing right?" I mutter.

"Yes ma'am I do." He exclaims.

"Do you have a car?" I ask.
