The following morning, Monica tried to phone Andrew. "Tess, here's no answer" she sighed, "I don't think he wants to take to me". Tess hugged Monica "He wouldn't do that, he loves you too much, you're his girlfriend".
Tess got her phone and tried calling him, knowing that if he had his phone he would answer to her. Monica stood beside Tess and said, "He's not answering is he?" Tess shook her head. "Maybe he is driving and can't answer his phone, so I'll try again this evening and if there is still no answer, we can call the hotel, OK?" Monica nodded.
Andrew had woken up and was asking about Monica "Would you like to call her?" asked one of the doctors "I don't know her number, it was saved on my phone and it's still in the car". Andrew lay in bed and thought about Monica, he really needed her to be with him.
"Do you want to go out someplace?" Tess asked. Monica shook her head "I want to stay here, Andrew may phone". Tess went to the kitchen to make dinner, she started making a pizza but then realised that they didn't have any cheese. "I'll have to go to the store to buy cheese," Tess shouted from the kitchen "Ok" Monica replied.
Monica flicked through the television channels and realising it was almost 6pm, she knew Andrew would be at the hotel by now. Tess returned with two bags of shopping "Hey, that's a lot of cheese" Monica laughed. "I decided to get a few other things" Tess replied, "Ok a lot of other things". Monica smiled and carried on watching television.
At the dinner table a while later Monica asked Tess to call Andrew, but there was still no answer so Tess called the hotel that Andrew was staying in. "I'm sorry I can't help you" a woman's voice said "He hasn't arrived yet".
Tess returned to Monica "He hasn't got there yet, but don't worry about it he probably got stuck in traffic", Tess said, secretly knowing that even if he had got lost or stuck in traffic, he should still have arrived by now. Monica sat up and stared at Tess.
Monica looked through her cupboard trying to find some photos. She pulled out loads of boxes, although she still couldn't find them. Monica quickly put everything back and went to look in the other rooms.
She eventually found them in a draw. She emptied them on to the bed and looked at them. They were photos of Andrew and her together. One of them was of Andrew and her hugging; she put the rest back but kept that one out. She sat on her bad and stared at it, longing to speak to Andrew.
