 I feel bad for leaving Chloe alone with Phil, but it's not like I could do anything about it.
     For me I get a sandwich, ravioli for Chloe, and Macaroni & Cheese for Phil. I grab us all Gatorade and silverware, and head back to the table to see Chloe and Phil smiling at each other.
  "I come with food!" I exclaim, setting the tray down.
  "It's been so long, since I've had ravioli. I'd forgotten how good it is! Thanks Dan!" Chloe laughs.
  "You're welcome M'lady." Phil tries to add his opinion, but his mouth is full and we all end up laughing at his attempts.
     When we're done, I help Chloe crutch back to her room. 
  "Want us to get everything ready for tomorrow for you?  You walked a lot today considering," I offer.
  "That would be amazing.  Thank you!"  she says looking relieved.  She picks out a movie for tonight, (Lion King), and I put all the other movies and stuff back in the duffel bag.
     Phil leaves to go scope out the easiest way out and put the bag in my car.
  "Chloe, do Jackson and Ashley know you're in the hospital" I ask finally. 
  "Shit, I totally forgot," she says, her face draining of color.
  "No, you can stay."  She pulls out her phone.  "I'll call Jackson first," she says and puts the phone to her ear.  She stays quiet for a while.
  "Hey Jack, its Chloe.  I would have been calling every night but, uh, I'm in the hospital again.  We were going to get furniture and got hit by a drunk driver.  I'm OK though, I was walking today.  I'm getting released tomorrow.  I love you so much and I promise I'll try to call more often."  She taps the phone and puts it in her lap.
  "Aren't you going to call Ashley as well?"
  "I'm putting it off as long as possible.  I really don't want to talk to her, what would I say?"
