Chapter 1: Yeah, whatever.

"GAIL! GAIL!" Chris screamed. He had another girl in his bed. Normal, but this was the first night since Gail's abduction that he did. Two nights earlier and the night of Gail's return, he started having nightmares about her being hit by the abductor as he watched tied up to a chair. When the girl heard him scream, she jumped out of the bed and starred at him. "GAIL!" He screamed again. The girl ran out of his room, but bumped into Dov. He said sorry and walked into Chris' room. He had also heard the scream, but he went on to check on him this time, knowing about the girl.
"Chris. Chris, stop!" Dov yelled trying to wake him up. He was flinching as he screamed her name. He may have been naked under the sheets, but Chris was Dov's bestfriend. Chris was suffering and he doesn't realize how serious he is. Dov shakes him, but he doesn't wake. He shakes him two more times, the last waking Chris and causing him to swat the air. "Chris, again? You have to get help." He said.
"No! No, I don't. I'm fine." Chris lied.
"No you're not. You screamed Gail's name and scared the girl you fucked last night out of the room!" Dov said with anger. "You need help. I bet you don't even know her name."
"I don't need help!" Chris yelled back. "…and so what if I don't know her name. What's it worth to you?"
"Gail got the week off. You should see her some time." Dov said. "If you're not going to see a shrink, you need to face Gail.
"No, I have to go to work now. You do too." Chris told Dov.
"You don't have work either. Best gave you three days off because you feinted for who knows why." Dov mentioned for the second day in a row. "You need to see her. You need to talk to her. Collins is working so it will just be you two. Today is your last day off and you need to do something about the nightmares." Dov got the girl her clothes and told her she should go. She listened, got dressed, and then left. Dov got dressed and went to head out the door. He sees Chris also got dressed. "Where are you going?" He questioned.
"I'm going to work out at the gym." He answered. Chris needed to punch something. Get his anger out on something. Dov closed the door.
Gail was taking the week step by step basically ignoring everybody, except Dov. Collins hasn't visited her and she doesn't know why, but she she's answering to Dov. Same way when Dov was 'stuck' between Crystal and Sue. He updated Gail about Chris' status every so often.
Dov called Gail and told her that Chris needed to talk with her about something important. He told her he went to the gym, but he thought she didn't want to see him. McNally dropped Gail off at the gym on her way to work. Gail walked in the gym and saw Chris dripping in sweat and hitting a punching bag like he was killing it. "Hey." She said.
"Gail? What are you doing here? You should go home. You shouldn't be awake or moving." Chris said as he looked at her.
"I came here to talk to you." She said.
"Lemme guess, McNally brought you. You should tell her to bring you home." Chris said as he punched the bag again.
"No, she left for work. I figured you would bring me home." Gail said with kind of a grin.
"How did you know I was here?" Chris questioned. "Dov told you! Dammit Dov! I'm gunna kill you!" He said. He punched the bag at least ten more times before telling Gail he'll give her a ride.
Chris still loved her, and he will always have feelings for her. Ever since Collins came and she told Chris about Nick, his feelings for her grew. He wanted to protect her, not just because he loved her. A normal person would forget about her for either lying that she was once engaged or that she has another man. Not Chris. Chris needed her. Though he hated that she had a 'friends with benefits' relationship with her ex-fiancée. "You should sit while I change." He said.
"Yeah, whatever." Gail said. Chris walks in the Men's Changing room and takes off his shirt. He gets a message. He looks at the forwarded message from Dov that Gail sent. He stared at the message and read it over about four times before looking at Gail. He walks out of the changing room, with his shoes, and shorts on; no shirt. Gail stands up. "I think you left a few things in there." He's looking right into her eyes. He's gets to her, puts his hands around her waist to pull her close as their lips make contact. She pulls apart. "What was that?"
"I still love you too." He said and kissed her again.
