Chapter Twenty Five
A short time later Mandy had signed the required paper work and was hopping into a taxi. Sandra had offered to driver her to the hotel because her shift was over but Mandy refused. So after she left, Sandra made her way to the carpark. As she walked down the corridor her cell phone rang.
"Hello"
"Hey doc"
"Adam just the man I wanted to talk to:
"Oh and whys that?"
"It's Mandy … I shouldn't be saying this but I think you should check on her"
"But she won't talk to me, let alone let me in her room"
"See that's the thing, she's not at the hospital anymore"
"What? Where is she then?"
"She's discharged herself and is on her way back to the hotel as we speak"
"Oh so maybe I should head down to the lobby … to ah get a drink or something"
"Sounds like your got yourself an idea there. But remember to be easy on her"
"Ok I will."
"Hey by the way, why did you call?"
"Give you the details for the party, if your still up for it"
"Yeah of course but how about you call me back after talking to Mandy"
"Ok will do. Well better fly … bye"
"Bye"
"Hey Sandra"
"Yeah"
"Thanks"
"It's cool. Just go already would you" Adam laughed before hanging up and rushed out of his room. He only hoped Sandra's idea would help mend the bridge between himself and Mandy. Even if Mandy didn't want to go out with him, he was happy just to be friends because they always had so much fun together and since she'd been in hospital Adam had felt an emptiness inside.

Sue and Chris were heading down the corridor of the hotel when they saw Adam.
"Hey Adam" Chris called
"Hey man, how are you feeling?" Adam asked, "Oh and hey Sue … sorry about that didn't mean to forget about you"
"Better not have bud … or else" she said with a laugh
"Oh and I'm pretty good thanks. You off somewhere?" Chris inquired
"Yeah sorry in a bit of a rush but will explain all later. And hey then we could catch up if that's cool"
"Yeah I'd like that"
"Great well see you both soon … and Sue I have to talk to you later as well"
"Ok bye" Sue called with confusion as Adam rushed off towards the lift.
"Gee I wonder what that was all about. Adam seems to be in a better mood though which is good to see." Chris said with a smile.
"Yeah he's been pretty down lately. Guess the whole Mandy thing really got to him"
"Oh I know what that's like. I mean one minute she's fine and her normal self but the next…"
"Hey Chris about Mandy" Sue started as she opened the door to Chris's hotel room.
"Let me guess sis, you wanna know if I still like her … right?"
"Well yeah actually"
There was an uncomfortable silence as they sat down on the couch. Finally Chris said,
"To tell you the truth I don't know. Things have changed so much. Mandy seems so distant … so different. I just don't know what to think or feel at the moment"
"Oh Chris" Sue said before hugging her brother tightly, "I'm sure she'll go back to her old, normal self soon."

Adam sat in the hotel lobby with a drink in hand, while he sipped it every so often. He watched as people entered and left the building, some guests, some fellow athletes and some fans. It wasn't until he looked at his watch that he realised he'd probably missed Mandy. He got up from his seat and headed over to the check in counter because he knew she had to pick up the key to her room.
"Excuse me but I was wondering if a Mandy Jones had check in yet" he asked the desk clerk
"Ah yes … but you just missed her Sir"
"Thank you" Adam said before heading off to her room.
***
Adam stood nervously outside Mandy's room after he'd knocked on the door. He wasn't sure what to expect from her. He just hoped she'd listen to him. As the door opened he took a long deep breath. When he saw Mandy he got worried. She looked so pale and not her normal vibrant self.
"Adam what are" she started before fainting. Luckily Adam caught her in his arms and carried her inside. He walked over to the bed and gently placed her down before walking into the bathroom to get a damp face washer. When he returned he placed it on her forehead to cool her down.
When Mandy came around, she stared up into Adam's eyes for a moment before saying,
"What happened?"
"You fainted so I brought you in here"
"Oh thank you. The medication I've been taking does that to me. Just lucky you were here to catch me" Mandy said with a smile
"Just glad your ok. You are ok aren't you?" Adam asked with concern
"Yeah. Just have to rest and take it easy, doctors orders"
"Is there" Adam started as he got to his feel but stopped when Mandy touched his arm softly.
"Please don't go Adam. Please" she begged, "I don't want to be alone … please … can't you just lie down next to me and keep me company?"
"Oh … I … ah … don't know"
"Please I promise I won't bite"
"Well ok but only if you're sure about this"
"Yeah I am. Thank you" she said before reaching up and kissing Adam on the cheek, which made his blush. Mandy then moved over giving Adam room to sit down. He took his jacket off and placed it on the chair close to the bed before sitting down next to Mandy. When he got comfortable, Mandy moved over and rested her head on his lap, while Adam gently stroked her hair.
A short time later Mandy had signed the required paper work and was hopping into a taxi. Sandra had offered to driver her to the hotel because her shift was over but Mandy refused. So after she left, Sandra made her way to the carpark. As she walked down the corridor her cell phone rang.
