Sorry for the wait its spring break and I had to go to the beach. It's been forever sense the last time I went so I hope you enjoy the chapter :).

Johnny made it just in time to catch Abby before her head could hit the hard tile floor. The whole dinner fell silent for a few split seconds then several other people jumped up running to see if she was okay.

Johnny paid them no attention, all his focus was on the woman he had in his arms. He brought a hand behind her head and sure enough there was a knot forming from last night.

"Abby, Abby!" came a voice pushing their way through the crowd.

Johnny looked up and saw a heavy muscled guy wearing an apron covered in cooking stains.

"What happened to her," the man asked.

"She fainted," Johnny answered the man.

"Does anyone have a car? She needs to go to the doctor," Johnny said looking among the people in the dinner.

"We can take my truck," the guy said taking off his apron quickly digging into his pocket for his keys. "Come on the hospital is on the other side of town we need to hurry."

Johnny put one arm around the woman's shoulders and the other under her knees. Picking her up bridal style he made his way out side of the dinner, following the guy over to his truck. The guy pulled out of the parking lot the trucks tires squealing as he pressed down hard on the gas pedal. Johnny was still holding Abby hoping that she wasn't in any serious danger.

"Did something happen in the dinner that made her faint?" the guy asked.

"No I just noticed her getting dizzy before she fell to the floor,"

Did she hit her head when she fell?"

"No I caught her just in time," Johnny said looking at the man wishing they could get there faster.

Nothing else was said between the two men. The ride seemed to take forever for the both of them. Soon the hospital was just up ahead. Both men quickly hopped out of the truck. Johnny was careful to pick her up and get her out of the small cab of the truck. They both entered the hospital making their way over to the nearest nurse station.

"We need help this woman fainted," Johnny said to the woman behind the desk.

"What's her name?"

"Abby Harris," the guy answered the nurse.

"Does she have any kind of illness you know of that might have caused this," the woman asked while picking up the phone to call for one of the doctors.

"No," Johnny and the guy standing beside him both said.

"Has she eaten anything today?"

"Far as we know yes," the guy answered.

"She has a knot forming on the back of her head," Johnny told the nurse.

The guy turned to Johnny, "I thought you said she didn't hit her head,"

"She didn't I caught her must have happened before she came to work," Johnny said.

The nurse came over from behind the desk and brought a hand behind Abby's head to feel the knot forming on her head. One of the doctors rounded the corner and came up beside the nurse asking about the situation. A few people dressed in scrubs came over and took Abby from Johnny and took her to one of the back rooms.

The nurse turned to both of the men staring at the doors where Abby was brought through. "Don't worry she is in good hands you can wait over there, and I'll let you know when I hear anything," Johnny and the other man made their way over to the waiting area.

"Hope she will be okay," the guy said.

"She should be fine,"

"Thank you for what you did back at the dinner," the guy said looking at Johnny.

"Are you her boyfriend?" Johnny asked.

The man started laughing "No, no just a friend. We became real good friends when she moved here and got a job at the dinner,"

Johnny remembered from last night when he was the rider looking into her soul and sensing the torment she went through at some point in her life.

"Did she have a boyfriend when she moved here?"

"Not that I recall. She did live here for a few months before she started working at the dinner, but I never really remember seeing those first few months,"

Johnny couldn't help but think that maybe she had some kind of abusive relationship when she first moved into this town.

"It was strange when she first started working at the dinner she would keep to herself, and she would constantly work any hours she could. I had to step in one day and tell her she needed a break from work I could see the exhaustion in her eyes," The guy said looking straight ahead looking at nothing in particular.

"So what's your name by the way?" the man said.

"Johnny. Yours?"

"Robert Hill or what everyone has called me sense high school Bubba,"

Bubba stuck his hand out for Johnny and both men shook hands. The nurse came over towards the two men. Both dropped their previous conversation and pulled their attention to the nurse.

"She is fine you can go and see her,"

Both of them stood up and walked through the double doors Abby was brought through earlier. Both entered a small room to see Abby awake and sitting on a bed.


Abby woke up with the worst headache in her life. She looked around and saw she was lying on a bed and that she was no longer in the dinner. She sat up closing her eyes as the room started to sway a little bit.

"Ah, Abby Harris how are you feeling?"

Abby looked up and saw a doctor standing at the foot of the bed.

"What happened?"

"You fainted at work. I'm guessing from the knot on the back of your head you fell yesterday or last night," the doctor said looking at his clip board.

"Yea I did," Abby said bringing her hand to the knot on her head.

"Well with all the stress at work didn't help. You should have taken it easy which you need to the next couple of days. I'll write a prescription for you; I am sure you are having one hell of a headache right now."

Abby just rubbed her head," Yea I am."

"Here take this it will help," the doctor handed Abby a couple of pills and a cup of water. Abby took them and could only wait for the pills to take effect.

The door to her room opened and Bubba came in the room along with the guy from the dinner.

"Hey Abby how are you feeling?" Bubba asked coming over beside the bed.

"I'll be fine as soon as this headache goes away,"

"Make sure she takes it easy for a couple of days; we don't need you to faint again," the doctor said writing a few things down on the clip board and left the room.

Abby turned to the guy from the dinner, "What are you doing here?"

"He caught you before you fell on the floor," Bubba answered.

"Oh, thank you for keeping from having two bumps on my head,"

The man smiled at her, "No problem always a pleasure to help a pretty woman in need,"

Abby smiled at him feeling a little heat rise in her cheeks.

"I am going to go and check you out and I'll be right back," Bubba said leaving the room.

"You new to this town? I've never seen you before," Abby asked.

"Just passing by I only been here a few days,"

"Can I get your name?"

"Johnny. Johnny Blaze,"

Abby's eyebrows scrunched looking at the man, "That name sounds familiar,"

Johnny just shrugged his shoulders looking down at her, "I get that a lot,"

"Well thank you for helping me Johnny," Abby said sticking her hand out for him to shake.

"It was a pleasure I got to meet a beautiful woman that has yet introduced herself to me," Johnny said shaking her hand.

"Oh! Abby Harris," her cheeks flaring from embarrassment.

Johnny laughed liking the look of her flushed cheeks, it made her look even more attractive.

Bubba came in a couple minutes later to see Johnny sitting beside Abby's bed in deep conversation. Both were smiling and laughing. Bubba could only smile seeing Abby so happy after for so long she always seemed so empty, maybe this guy is exactly what she needs.

Sorry if it's a little short. Next chapter I'll try and make it longer.
