Morgan walked into the hospital looking for Hailey. Instead, Matt was the first person she ran into in the halls of Seattle Grace.
"Matt, hey" Morgan said as she walked up to him.
"Hey Morgan, happy birthday, sorry I didn't get to tell you earlier." He said
"Thanks. Hailey said her mom woke up."
"She did. When I left, she had fallen back asleep though."
"Oh, well I've got a card but if she's not awake I don't want to disturb her." Morgan said showing Matt the envelope. "Have you seen Hailey?"
"Last time I saw her she was going to call you and to let a nurse know that Addison was awake, sorry."
"That's okay. I know this hospital like the back of my hand I'll find her." Morgan turned and began to walk away.
"Morgan," Matt called before she had gone too far. She stopped and he caught up with her. "I was wondering if you can get Hailey out of this hospital for awhile."
"I'll see what I can do but you know she's stubborn. She is not going to leave willingly."
"Take her to a dance studio, or some place with a lot of space for her to dance. Usually when she's upset, she dances. It works for her," Matt said.
"I'll see what I can do then. I'm going to go find Hailey." Morgan smiled then walked off again.
Morgan found Hailey in the first place she checked—a low traffic hallway. The lights were dimmed and she was sitting with her legs crossed on an abandoned gurney. Her eyes were closed and her head leaned back against the wall. It was obvious she wanted to be alone. But Morgan was not about to leave.
"Hailey, what's going on?" Morgan asked climbing onto the gurney as well.
"Nothing and everything at the same time. I just need to be alone right now Morgan, so could you please go away," she pleaded not moving from the position she was in.
"Not gonna' happen." The two sat in silence for awhile before Morgan once again spoke up. "I ran into Matt when I got here."
"Oh."
"He's worried about you Hailey, we all are. I don't know what happened but you look worse now than you did when I left this morning. And now your mom is awake. What happened?"
Morgan's question was met with silence. "Hailey let's go," Morgan said as she got off of the gurney. Hailey made no effort to move.
"Come on Hailey. You desperately need a shower and a toothbrush." Morgan pulled Hailey off the gurney and proceeded to drag her down the hall. Hailey did not protest too much. She just allowed Morgan to pull her along.

I know this is a short chapter and so is the next one. Just deal with it for now. You'll understand why I separated them after you read the next one.
