Paul sat in his apartment impatiently waiting for Stephanie, it was just last night that Stephanie had turned eighteen, and already she was under stress. Last night she had found out that Stacy knew about them, Paul saw it her eyes she was worried, though she loosened up later on. Well if Paul was to be exact, there little make out session in the closet. Paul heard a knock at the door thinking it was Stephanie, though to his surprise it wasn't.

"Mr Levesque"

"Yeah that's me"

"Hi I'm Officer Campbell, and this is Officer Valenti may we come in?" Said the lady Paul let them in.

"There has been an accident" Said Officer Valenti the man looked at Paul intently. "And well we have you as her emergency contact"

Paul froze he immediately thought Stephanie was the one in the accident, suddenly he felt sick there was no one else it could be. Paul wasn't sure if anymore words where necessary, as he felt his heart stop.

"What happened?"

"Well she was found unconscious in her home, one of the neighbors found her, there not sure if the baby will survive, you are the Father I believe?" Said Officer Campbell

Paul realised it wasn't Stephanie it was Joanie; he was so relieved that Stephanie was ok, though he didn't feel much better. Even though he hated Joanie, for putting Steph and Paul through so much, he never wished for this to happen.

"A Miss Joanie Laurer was brought in earlier this morning; since you are her only contact we must ask you some questions"

"Do I need to go to the station?" Asked Paul

"We can do them at the hospital, we think someone should see her" Said Officer Campbell, there was a knock at the door; Paul got up to answer it.

"Hey Paul" Said Stephanie coming in, she stopped when she noticed two police Officers "What's going on?"

"I have to go to the hospital something has happened to Joanie" Said Paul

"How"

"I don't know they wouldn't say, it shouldn't take to long I'll drop you off home" Stephanie felt disappointed and angry, she hated Joanie for making her and Paul's lived hard, it was always something new. Stephanie wished that bitch would butt out, and realise it is over between them, and Paul loved her not Joanie. Paul kissed her on the cheek and hugged her, today was supposed to take a weight of Paul and Steph's shoulders, with Stacy's family a big issue still.

Paul had just finished speaking to the cops; they wanted to know personal information about her, now Paul had to know what was wrong with Joanie, and what she had done. He sat near her bed; she was hooked up to a few machines, as he heard it bleep in time with her breathing. The nurse came in to introduce herself; she held a clipboard in her hand.

"Ok Mr Levesque may I call you Paul?"

"Yeah sure"

"So are you her Boyfriend?"

"Ex" Stated Paul

"Are you the Father of the baby?"

"No why what's happened" Asked Paul

"Well Miss Laurer took an overdose, and she took quite a fall, the baby didn't make it."

"So what did she take?"

"We haven't got the results back yet, the person who brought her said she had been rather depressed recently, her behaviour had changed, did you notice anything when you where with her" Asked the Nurse.

"After we broke up she didn't take it to well, then I found someone else, she got really jealous."

"I see, well we will continue to monitor her progress over the next couple of days, these are the most critical" Paul nodded

"Can I go now" Said Paul he didn't want to sound heartless, but Joanie had put him through so much recently, he just hated her more. Even losing the baby didn't make him feel anything, he was losing sympathy for her, and maybe if she hadn't put him through so much, he might have shown more concern. However right now he was feeling none of that, the nurse nodded as Paul left.

Paul arrived home; it had been a long day waiting in the hospital, and then being questioned by the cops. Paul wished Joanie would stop acting like this; it was becoming a big problem, every time Paul thinks things are ok again, and she does something else. Paul threw his coat of and went for a shower; he removed his clothes and stepped in, letting the hot water drop on his skin. Paul was trying to relax but it wasn't easy, lately everything just seemed to be one headache.

Paul woke up to the sun shining through the window, it had been a few days since Joanie was rushed to hospital, luckily for him the Police where trying to find the baby's Father, so Paul could get out of the situation he was currently in. Paul got out of bed, he put a pair of pants on before the phone rang, and Paul went to answer it.

"Hello"

"Hello Mr Levesque we would like you to come to the hospital, there is something very important to discuss" Said the nurse

"I have to go to work ma'am can I come after" Asked Paul knowing there would be no way he would be able to get the day off, unless Mr Martin made a surprise return.

"Mr Levesque this is very important, I wouldn't ask under such short notice please" Begged the Nurse, Paul realised he would have to go; he agreed and put the phone down.

Paul arrived at the hospital; the principal was none to pleased about him not coming in, especially under such short notice. The Principal said that Paul would have to come in ASAP. Paul just shrugged that off, tired of other's peoples ignorance.

"You needed to see me" Said Paul approaching the Nurse

"Please take a seat" Paul sat down placing his Gym bag on the floor.

"Right we have been monitoring Miss Laurer's progress, and have learned she is mentally unstable, and unfit to be alone we have come to two options. One someone looks after her with medication, or the other option would be to have her in a Mental hospital, we feel it would be better for someone to look after her, perhaps you."

"I can't look after her, I want her out of my life she's put me through to much, and you're asking the wrong Guy I'm sorry." Said Paul this was the last thing he needed "I think you should put her in a hospital, or ask someone else she's not my problem anymore"

"She has no one else"

"I'm sorry but my mind is set I can't do this, you'll have to find someone else….now I have to go to work" Said Paul standing up, he knew he was being cruel, however he couldn't take much more, Joanie had to go he couldn't take the stress anymore.
