Neela walked though the gloomy gray streets covered with snow, clutching her jacket tighter to herself as the wind started to gust stronger against her. Neela kept her eyes down as she pushed her way through the crowds to get to work. The snow was falling fast and hard against her and she kept her face down so she wouldn't get hit hard as she walked to work. Every so often she would look up to make sure she didn't hit someone. As she was walking along the streets she looked up- there was a lamppost filled with posters that had been stuck on it, a few people talking to eachother and some paper stands. Neela continued walking, after a few steps she stopped and abruptly turned back. She walked fast back to where she had looked up, back to the lamppost. She searched the posters that had been stuck on them- something seemed very familiar on it and she wanted to find it. She searched the posters and then saw a poster with a picture of a few guys standing and on the top it had the band name and the bottom it had the details for their gig in the city. What had caught her eye was the picture – there were a few guys standing and Neela looked closely at it- she was sure that the guy in the picture looked like Ray's friend Brett, her eyes moved to the left and started searching each guy in the picture until she saw the one person she cared about- she saw the picture of Ray. A smile slowly starting on her face, Neela excitedly looked at the bottom of the poster to see where they would be- she got more excited when she saw they were going to be playing in the city. Excitedly with a wide grin now on her face, Neela ripped the poster off the lamppost and held it in her hands tightly and read the poster again to make sure she wasn't mistaken, when she was convinced they were going to be in the city she stuck it into her jacket. She then turned and started to walk to work- she couldn't wait to tell Abby the news.

When Neela got to work she went up to Frank at the desk.

"Frank- where is Abby?" she asked excitedly

"I don't know" Frank said looking around.

"I'll find her" Neela said excitedly as she walked away from Frank practically jumping.

Neela went to put her things away and then looked for Abby.

"Abby" Neela called out excitedly when she saw Abby with a patient

"Yeah" Abby said as she turned towards Neela and looked up at her.

"What is with you today?" she said smiling at Neela

"You won't believe what I found" Neela said excitedly

"I'm afraid to ask" Abby said as she gave Neela a strange look and then laughed

"Look at this" Neela said as she trailed off and reached into her jacket to pull out the sheet of paper she had taken from the lamppost. She carefully unfolded it and handed it to Abby so she could look at it.

Abby looked at Neela with a curious look and then looked down at the sheet of paper Neela was holding in her hand. Abby started to smile and excitedly looked up at Neela.

"Is that Ray?" she said

"Yeah" Neela said excitedly with a huge smile.

"Can you believe it?" Neela said with an surprised tone

"are you going to go and see him" Abby asked "It says they are playing today"

Neela looked at Abby, her smile slowly turning solemn as she looked down and started to slowly fold the sheet of paper and put it back in her jacket.

"I..I don't know"

"what do you mean" Abby said with a look of concern as she reached out a hand and warmly held Neela's arm.

"For months you have been sad without Ray and filled with regrets and now when you have the chance, a second chance- to see him- you're not going to go?" Abby said with a surprised tone.

Neela looked up at Abby, tears starting to form in her eyes "What if he doesn't want to see me?" she asked

"He loves you" Abby said softly

"After everything I have caused him Abby, why would he want to see me?"

"Think about it Abby" Neela continued "to him, he thinks I don't care for him- I didn't show up in the park that night. He must have been so hurt Abby." Neela shook her head as she looked at Abby with sadness and regret in her eyes.

"It wouldn't surprise me if he hated me right now" Neela said softly as she looked down

"Then you need to go see him and tell him you love him. You have to give him a chance"

"Ray loves you as much as you love him. If you don't go see him you'll never know how he feels. You have to give him a chance." Abby said softly

"You're right. Thank you Abby" Neela said as she smiled softly

Abby smiled at Neela and then reached out and gave her a hug
