  Quote of the day: Believe it every thing happens for a reason.

  Greg was tensed as he drove to the hospital, he was really scared for Ashley and moreover he hated anything that had to do with hospitals. Whenever he thought of hospitals the only thing that crosses his mind was Nora and his mother.

    He stared at Chloe beside him who was still shaking with fear, he wanted to ask her if what she had just told him was true, because he had a hard time believing that someone had been threatening his Ashley and she didn't tell him about it.

     His gut instincts had been telling him since yesterday when he saw the way she crushed that camera, but he never would have guessed.

    "Why the heck didn't she tell me about this?" he asked her with a questioning gaze,  because he was finding it hard to believe the whole issue.

     "She had been hell-bent on keeping you safe," Chloe answered in a calmer voice.

     "Keeping me safe? Is that why she resigned and broke up with me?" He said what came to his mind next, As he put bits and pieces together. He looked at Chloe who was looking at him with shock.
  
    "She broke up with you? I never thought she would do that... Although she had been moaning about how she didn't want to get you involved in all this shit, but I didn't know she would take it as far as breaking up with you," she said looking sincerely bewildered. He kinda felt bad now for thinking she was an accomplice.

    "Why is she hell-bent on not getting me involved? If she has an issue I believe that as I boyfriend I have a right to share in it," He said pulling into the 'new heights' hospital, he parked the car and looked over at Chloe.

   Chloe looked a little shifty like there was something she was hiding. "She must have a reason, I'm sure."

    "Is there something you are not telling me?" He asked her calmly.

   "It is not my tale to tell," she said quietly and got down from his car, this only confirmed the fact that there was indeed something more that he doesn't know.

      He felt like something was wrong somewhere, but he couldn't put a finger on it, he got down from the car hurriedly when he suddenly remembered the reason why they were there in the first place.

     They both ran into the hospital stopping at the counter, the nurse that was seated there looked at them like they had more than one head, but on getting closer the nurse gave him a seductive  look, totally ignoring Chloe. What the heck was wrong with this nurses? 

   "Where is she?" He asked with fear.

   "She... Who?" The nurse asked looking at him like he was mentally unstable.

    "A lady was brought here not too long ago, I got a call from this hospital, she has an auburn hair," Chloe said taking over from him, and she was right to do so, because he couldn't procure any sentences clearly now, he was a little surprised at Chloe's calmness, the girl had been crying before.

    "Ohh you are Chloe...she is in the E.R right now, so you can both seat there," she said with a dismissive look pointing to a set of benches. Greg wanted to punch her but stopped himself.

  They both went over to the benches. Chloe sat down but he couldn't, he was really worried, so he just stood where he was. He pulled at his stupid tie, feeling unwarranted hatred for the non-living thing that had been a part of his misery ever since he could tell.

   "Will you stop with the pacing, you are getting me scared," Chloe said almost yelling at him. He outright ignored her and continued with his pacing. Soon Chloe stood up and joined him in the pacing, he guessed she must have had enough to.
