Luke stirred awake as he heard someone enter Noah's room. He had fallen asleep in the arm chair right next to Noah's bed, still holding on to he's hand.

He looked over and noticed that Noah was still asleep. He was kind of relieved he was here and that he had not dreamed that they had gotten back together.

Luke turned around to finally see who the person was in the room and Noticed Ali standing at the foot of Noah's bed reading he's charts.

He got up slowly as he could feel pain from he's legs and lower back starting to niggle at him being the way he must have dosed off in the chair. He walked over to Alison as he smiled at her

"He Alison, you're still on duty?" He asked, yawning and trying to cover he's mouth, hoping he didn't have bad breath.

"Yes, unfortunately pulling a double shift tonight. Stupid people who do rostering in this place always put the slack job nurses on the late shift and THEY always call in sick or something so yeah, still here" Alison said still checking Noah's Charts

"So what are you up to anyway? See you feel asleep next to sleeping beauty there" Alison pointed towards Noah who was still asleep

"Yes, well what can I say? He makes me feel me. But I have to go and get something to eat but I don't want to leave him until he wakes up" Luke said looking back at Noah, wondering what he should do as he was hungry and in need of some water or something as he's mouth was dry.

"Well why don't I stay with him until you come back. If you hurry you will make it before the canteen closes in fifteen minutes, or are you going to go to Al's?"

"Nah going to go to Al's, as much I Hospital food is health for you, it's too health. It feels like sometimes it has been put through the dishwasher or something to make it squeaky clean for you. No offence" Luke said smiling and giving a small chuckle.

It was good to hear him chuckle and smile. Alison had missed the old Luke over the last couple of days and it was good to see him coming back to that old flame he had.

"Yeah I actually agree, but could I ask you to get me a sandwich, my usual. Henry Knows which one I am talking about and maybe a diet coke or something. God knows I am going to need the caffeine hit soon" she said.

"Yeah sure no problems and thanks for this" Luke said grabbing he's Jacket as he kissed Noah on the hand one more time before walking right out the door.

Alison sat down next to Noah as she looked over some of Noah's paperwork as she said silently to her self "You have a lot of work to do Mr Mayer before you might be back to normal"

"Yes I know, but someone got to do it" a silent voice said, making Alison jump out of her seat. She looked around to find Noah awake, looking at her as he smiled

"Sorry didn't mean to startle you. Are you ok?" He said hoping he had not scared her

"Yeah I will be fine – eventually, but more importantly how are you feeling?"

"Yeah ok, well define ok I guess. I mean Luke isn't here so doesn't that say anything to you?" Noah said turning he's head in the other direction, trying to not show how upset he was.

"What, what do you mean not here Noah. He was here. He just went out for a moment to get something to eat for both myself and him. The poor guy has been here for nearly half the night now without anything to eat so what… do you expect him to starve?" she said getting slightly angry as she knew Noah was jumping to the wrong conclusions again.

"And you believed him. God then you must be as blonde as I am then. I knew I shouldn't have taken him back. I knew he would do this"

"WHAT NOAH, THAT'S TOTALLY UNFAIR! Luke has been here. If you don't believe me then you will have to wait and talk with him when he gets back because he will tell you that he has been here. And as for calling me blonde, I don't think so wise guy. You are really becoming a piece of something Noah. I can't swear here or even want to slap, which if I may say so I really want to do right now for the way you are talking down Luke and myself....just what is so fucking wrong with you?"

Alison said finally losing her cool with Noah. She could not believe Noah was back to being the pain in the ass again. What was with this guy? And where was the Noah Mayer everyone loved so very much?

"Well someone has to say it Alison, and if it wasn't me it would be some else perhaps. I am just stating the truth anyways. Luke has proved me right. It like a code word that he wants out, so if he does then so do I. Now can you please get the paperwork ready to discharge me please? I have things to do and places to be" Noah said rudely as he looked at Alison with daggers

"Well you know what you need hmmm? I think you need your head examined, like having an MRI or something to prove it is actually there and then I think to get rid of all this shit, you need an enema buddy because you talk too much shit right now. And to say the least you're stuck here right at this moment because I can't do that kind of paperwork now. The office is closed and we can't discharge patients after 7pm anyways" Alison said looking towards the clock in the room noting it was 10.42pm

"Well I don't have to put up with attitude like that. And if anyone needs their head examined it's you honey. If I remember correctly, you did a certain bad thing to Luke's brother, like cheat on him or make that porno movie if I do remember quite well. So if I were you, I would be getting right out of my sight before I call for one of the other nurses to come in ok?"

Well to say the least that was enough to push Alison over the edge. Finally she had cracked and had enough of this wise ass Noah.

"You know what fuck you. Oh right sorry you're already doing that, what with that fucked up life of yours. The father who killed your own mother and tried on a couple of occasions to kill Luke, then kidnap your so called wife Ameera, god Noah how you two would have done it at night? What she would have to put a bucket over her head and swing of the handles for fun huh?" she said looking at Noah as she continued "No, you know what Noah you can stay right where you are for once and take orders from me because for god's sake if you're going to order others around like myself and poor Luke, who really at this stage doesn't deserve such a piece of fucking trash right now and actually be truly happy for once in he's life if you don't want to anymore. No you can stay right where you are and stew in your own juices for once. Maybe and I hope maybe that might make you think a little bit more clearly." She said as she walked up to Noah's side

"For once Noah you need to realise what you have right in front of you because when your old and grey, if you even ever reach that with this kind of attitude you display, you will regret giving Luke the flick and will try with whatever energy and strength you have left trying to find Luke and make a mends for your huge fucking mistake. I think it's about time you work up to yourself and stop acting like such a god damn drama queen"

Alison surprised herself. She didn't think she had it in her to do such a thing and become a very nasty person, but it had to be done. She had to make Noah see what he was going to be missing out if he continued like this.

Just then the door opened and a lonely and sad face appeared in the door way carrying a bag of food.

Luke looked at Noah as he said "You really think so low of me don't you Noah? Do you even want me?"

Noah looked at Luke. He knew what he wanted but what he wanted and what would or could be are two different things....
