My CEO 111

111 Get Out Of My Life

(Winona)

Sheila comes into the living room where I'm sitting alone. My head is so full I can't even function.

"Jayden texted me. The ambulance isn't quite there, but Abby is still holding on. Doctor Green is waiting, ready."

"Oh, thank God!" Tears are coming from somewhere; I didn't think I had any left. "She's still alive."

"Jayden was very adamant about you knowing that the doctor said the actions you took are the reasons. Abby is still alive now. Jayden said to thank you."

My whole body is shaking. What's the point of him being nice about that? He still believes the worst of me. He broke my heart into a million pieces again that day in the jail cell. I just can't see a way back from that. Anne comes in with a fruit and cheese platter.

"Abby is with the doctor now. She made it to the hospital. Jayden is with her."

"She's a fighter, Winona. You know that. Now you need to keep up your strength, so eat a little something." Anne says as she pops the platter on the side table. "Help yourself, Sheila. It could be a long night." I glance at the food and my stomach churns. Ew. I can't eat.

Sheila loads up a small plate and holds it out to me. I shake my head.

"You need to eat. You're already thin as a reed. The last thing Abby needs is you collapsing."

I shrug. "If I'm in the hospital too, I might

"Winona Nolan," Sheila says in a stern voice. "Collapsing from hunger after refusing to eat will not be a positive indication for a healthy mental state. That alone could revoke Abby being here with you." I look at her.

"If you are able to go and see her, you need to show you are strong and capable of staying that way for her."

I sit there for a moment, staring at the phone. My thoughts are a jumble of anger, fear, and frustration. I just want to be with Abby, to hold her hand and tell her everything will be okay.
