Andrew lay alone in the darkness of the hospital ward. He wondered what Monica was doing. He closed his eyes and prayed, not for himself, but for Monica. "Please help me to contact her..."
The last lights in the hospital ward went off and Andrew was alone. The only other person who had been in the same ward as Andrew, had been taken to another room. Andrew didn't get much sleep that night. He kept thinking about Tess and Monica.
At 8am the next morning, a doctor came to see Andrew. He looked at the cut on Andrew's head and changed the bandage. "Are you OK," he asked. Andrew nodded "I just want to see my girlfriend, Monica" he sighed, "Her number was saved on my phone but it's still in my car".
Monica woke up and glanced over at the clock, it was 11am. She ran into the kitchen to see Tess. "Has Andrew arrived at the hotel yet?" she asked. Tess shook her head "I have phoned but no, he's not there". Monica turned around and ran back to her room and sobbed. What if Andrew had left her? Was it because of the argument?
After she stopped crying she went back to talk to Tess "Do you think Andrew would leave me?" she asked. Tess hugged her "No angelgirl he wouldn't, He loves you more than anything". "I'm so worried about him," Monica sobbed. "I know you are, but I'm sure he's fine" Tess replied.
A while later, Andrew was visited by a woman. "Someone just brought this, they asked me to give it too you" she said as Andrew was given a plastic bag "Who is it from?" he asked "It was the guy who hit your car" she said as she walked off. Andrew opened the bag and pulled out his phone and a piece of paper which read:
Dear Andrew
Hope you feel Ok, I found your phone on the road and thought I'd give it back to you.
Andrew called the doctor and told him that he had his phone and that he wanted to phone Monica. "You can't use phones in the hospital, but I'd be willing to go out and phone for you" the doctor smiled. "Yes, can you phone Monica?" Andrew asked. The doctor took the phone and went outside.
Monica's phone rang. Tess watched as she answered "Oh no" was all Monica could say before she was in tears. "Baby, what's wrong?" Tess asked.
"Andrew has been involved in a car accident" She sobbed. "Where is he?" Tess asked "He's in hospital" she replied "can we go to see him now?" Tess nodded.
The doctor returned to Andrew "I phoned Monica and she is really upset, but at least she knows what has happened and she is coming to visit you later".
