“ Mr Harlow you have to stay with me , please don’t close your eyes “
“ ma’am I’m sorry but you have to get out of the ER “ A nurse said buy I ignored her
“ Please save him “ I cried
“ We will try our best Ma’am but you have to get out “ she said and signalled to another nurse to get me out
I got out of the ER and saw Zoey sitting on one of the chairs , she stood up immediately she saw me and hugged me .
“ He’s going to be fine Lau “ she assured
The tears started rushing down without control .
“ I know I just … it’s all in my head “ I said
“ it’s gonna be ok , Annie has been arrested “
“ That’s good , You have to go now Zo , you’ve got work tomorrow “ I said
“ No I can’t leave you here “
“ You already skipped a day because of me , Your Director might actually fire you “ I said
“ I’m not leaving you here besides we are looking after the CEO of the company “ She said and I chuckled a little
“ That’s your excuse ?”
“ Fine , I’ll leave when you stop crying “ she said and I quickly cleaned my eyes
“ Look , I stopped crying now get your ass outta here “ I said imitating her and she laughed
“ Fine I’ll leave , you clearly don’t want me here “ she said standing up
“ Of course I do , I just don’t want your annoying Director to fire you “ I said
“ Are you going to be ok ?” she asked
“ Of course “ I said
“ I don’t know Laura … I don’t think I can leave you here alone “
“ Babe you’ve done more than enough today , you have to go home and rest “ I said
“ look who’s talking , you’re the one who needs rest “ she said
“ I’ll rest here ok ?” I assured
“ Fine I’ll leave but once I have a change of mind I’m coming back for you” she said and I smiled
“ Take care of yourself “ I said waving at her
“ You too “ she said walking off then I called her
“ Zoey “ I called
“ Yes “ she answered
“ Thanks for today “ I said
“ No , thank you for holding on Lau , It would have killed me if something happened to you “ she said smiling
“ I love you Zo“ I said
“ Are you getting emotional now ? “ she asked and we both laughed

SUPER MODEL NICK HARLOW FOUND DEAD IN HIS APARTMENT
JUST IN : TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES , PICTURES OF LAURA PALEY WEEPING IN FRONT OF NICK’S WARD …
Wow this reporters are everywhere , who knew they took my pictures too .
It’s been three hours since Nick came out of the OR , the doctor said he was going to be fine and that the bullet didn’t hit vital parts in his arm .
My eyes felt heavy but I couldn’t sleep , I couldn’t Even dare to , I was too afraid I would see Nick covered in blood again .
“ Miss Paley ?” I heard a voice call , I looked up and saw a nurse
“ Hi “ I said standing up
“ is he ok ? Is anything wrong ? Is –“
“ Nothing is wrong Miss Paley , Mr Harlow has woken up but you can’t go in now he still needs a lot of rest , he has been transferred to the VIP ward so you can see by dawn “ she said
“ Oh he’s awake , thank God … Thank you ma’am “ I said
I sat down on the chair and started counting the seconds on the clock till dawn will come .
After what seemed like hours another nurse walked up to me
“ Miss Paley ?” she asked
“ Yes “ I answered
“ Mr Harlow asked to bring you “ she said
Oh my God
“ Oh my goodness , Ummm … ok “ I said nervously
“ He’s on the Fourteenth floor , the second VIP ward “ she said
“ Thank you so much , you’re a life saver “ I said running into the elevator .
I quickly pressed on the Fourteenth floor and tapped my nails on the wall nervously , after few minutes the elevator stopped and I located the second VIP ward , I opened the door and saw Mr Harlow on the bed .
A bandage was wrapped around the injured arm and a water line was connected to his hand , I couldn’t help the fresh tears that forced it’s way out of my eyes .
“ Miss Paley ?” he called
“ Yes , I’m here sir “ I said walking up to him
“ Took you long enough I was – you’re crying ?” he asked
“ No I’m not –“
“ Miss Paley I demand that you clean your tears right now and stop crying for Christ sake it’s not like I died “ he said
“ Why ? Why did you do it ?” I asked
“ Do what ?” he asked
Dear God
“ Why did you run to the front of a Gun?” I asked
“ what was I supposed to do Miss Paley ? Stand there and let her put a bullet through you ?” he asked
“ B-but … do you think you’re superman or something … is that why you ran to the front of a gun ? You must think you’re immune to bullets right ? “ I asked
“ Miss Paley I think a simple Thank you will suffice “ he said
“ Mr Harlow yo- you almost died , you could have lost your freaking life “ I yelled with fresh tears falling down my face
“ Listen up Laura , everything that happened to you happened because of me , how else was I supposed to take responsibility ?”
“ By getting yourself killed ?” I asked
“ I don’t care if you’re annoyed or not but I’ll do this over and over again “ he said and I was dumbfounded
“ What ?” I asked
“ Besides I wasn’t joking when I said I wanted to be in bed together with you “ he said
Wait what ?
“ So how could I have let you died Miss Paley … when we’ve not even been in bed together … how ?”
Sweet cheese …
