Bent Out Of Shape

BEN'S POV:

I cannot waut to go int work tonight and see my girl hard at work. I'm gonna go in at the start of her shift. I can't let her see me though, I'm gonna wait for a few hours into her shift, then make my appearance. I don't want her to think anything suspicious. I'm going to hide-out in our room in the basement for the first few hours then I'll go to the third floor and see Star.

TWO HOURS LATER:

I walk up to the third floor slowly. I want to collect myself and especially not make it seem like I'm stalking Star. I will just act like I had to get some important business done here, and that's the reason I'm here in these late hours of the night.

When I arrived on the third floor, everyone was surprised to see me. I glanced around to see if I could see Star, but right now I don't see her, so the charge nurse asked me what I am doing here at this time. I had to think of something to come up with quickly. I told her that there is a leak in the basement that I'm trying to fix. That was the best thing I could come up with in a hurry.

I didn't ask where Star is because I don't want it to seem weird that I'm asking about her, so I just take a walk up and down the halls. My employess won't wonder what I'm doing because they know that I will be checking their halls and make sure that they are run correctly.

I couldn't find Star anywhere on this floor, now I'm beginning to wonder where she is at. I'm going to have to start a conversation with the charge nurse so I can find out where Star is. I will make it seem like I'm asking how everyone is doing. After I finished walking up and down the halls, looking for Star, I walked over to the nurses station. I set my elbows on the top of the desk, the first queston that I ask is, "how is everyone?" The two nurses and the two aide's had said they are all good.

While we all stand at the nurses station, Star is no where to be found. I'm certain that she's not even here! If she was here, then she would be standing here at the nurses station with us. I'm going to wait a little bit longer to ask where she is, a sudden thought came to my mind, "she may be on a fifteen minute break," so I'll wait just a little longer.

While I'm standing at the desk, my leg starts to shake, I'm getting nervous because I don't see star anywhere, and it has been long enough that i've waited to see her. Then suddenly I asked the charge nurse where Star is? I could not believe what she had told me! Now I"m pissed off, but I cannot let any of my employees see me angry, so I left the third floor and went down to the basement.

When the charge nurse had told me that Star called off for tonight, I instantanly became angry. There is no reason for her to call off, now I'm going to have to approach her on this calling off issue. I cannot have her calling off. I can't even call her to find out why she called off because I'm not supposed to be here. If I would call her, she would wonder how I knew already.

"Ahhhh, now what? What am I going to do now?" I asked myself.

When she comes back for her next shift, she's going to hear an ear full from me! I'm going to make it clear to her that she cannot call off, these people need her here! I know she rarely calls off, but I'm not gonna have this, especially onnight shift when I'm tryng to make my move on her.

In a calm manner, I walked away from the nurses station, when I got out of sight, I stormed down to the basement. I took the steps since I'm so angry right now. I didn't want to take the elevator incase someone would see me this angry. When I arrived at the basement, I went straight into our room. I sat on the bed and started thinking of what to do next. I'm not sure if I should call her just yet or wait a little bit.

"If I call her now and ask her why she had called off she may wonder what I"m doing here. But if I lie to her and tell her that I had to come in because there was a water leak, she may not think anything of it."

That's what I'm going to do now. I"m just going to give her a call and find out the reason for her call off. She better have a good reason for this. I don't feel like there would be any reason for her to call off, I'm hoping she didn't call off to just spend time with Conri! If she mentions that to me, then I'm going to fly off the handle, I can feel it already.

I don't want to hear one thing about Conri. I can care less about him. And I don't really want to hear her say that she needed to spend time with him. I'm the one she should be spending time with, not him! The more I think about this, the more I wish Conri would just disappear. Then I would have Star all to myself and there would be no one to interfere with us.

Anyway, I shook my head back and forth to clear my head before I give Star a call.

Moments later, I picked up my phone to call her. She answeed on the fifth ring. I asked her where she was and why she had called off and all she could say in a frantic voiuce is, she's at the emergency room with Conri. I became silent for a moment, then I said, "Wait. What? What emergency room.
