WOULD A DAY EVER EXIST WHERE I'D BE HIS FIRST CHOICE?~ Khloe Diamond.

CHRIS LANDON
I knew leaving Khloe that way at her office wouldn't do us any good but I was so worried for Annie! Tons of questions ran through my mind. As carefree as she could be, she could be so reckless as regards her life.

The hospital was in great commotion when I got there, they could never understand why she left. After checking all of the CCTV's we couldn't find anything except Annie leaving her room in a hurry.

"Why was she in so much hurry though?" I asked but none of them could answer that. My head was a mess.

I tried calling her several times but she wouldn't pick up, at the end of the day, I had to retire back to my suite hoping she'd find her way back. I sighed as I walked in and crashed straight up on the sofa.

One thing I couldn't understand was why she wouldn't call to at least let me know what was wrong.

"Chris?" I heard her voice call out. I laughed at myself for worrying so much, I was hallucinating.

"Chris, is that you?" I heard again and the light came on. She was really here?

"Annie! Are you okay?" I yelled as I ran up to her with worry and check out for any injuries.

"I'm fine!" She told me.

I couldn't understand what was going on! Why would she put us in so much worries?

"Why did you sneak out of the hospital? What exactly is wrong with you Annie?" I yelled at her in anger mixed with concern.

"I spent the whole day searching for you, I reported to the police, I called you several times" I added.

"I'm sorry. My phone fell off somewhere, I don't know. I just didn't feel safe at hospital" she replied.

"Really? What could possibly happen to you? Are you sure your head injury really didn't affect you?" I asked her.

"Chris, I'm fine! I just..... can we go back home?" She asked me.

Home? Back to my psychopath of a mom? Never!

"You can but I can't" I told her in reply.

"Please! Chris, please. It's dangerous out here. Can't we just be like we used to?" She asked but I could only shake my head.

I wasn't going back to that, there is no way! Back home is like a prison plus I met Khloe, and I can't just leave when I finally once again starts to feel this way again for someone.

"I'm done talking about this Annie! You can return if you want to" I yelled at her and made walked out on her. I was right about walking into the room when she said;

"Then you'd never see me again". I didn't understand what she meant, see her again? I stopped for a moment and turned back to her, she couldn't be serious right?

"You'd never see me again just because I refuse to leave with you? If that is the extent of our friendship to you, then cool" I told her and went straight to bed.

She didn't sleep in while I couldn't stop thinking about how Annie was capable of doing anything. What if she actually cuts me off her life?

No way!

Khloe Diamond
He hasn't called or texted! I only sat in my office staring at my phone all day, expecting something from him but nothing came.

Until I got home and went to bed! What exactly was he doing? Toying with me?

"Want to meet someone new?" Kelvin had asked me earlier but I wasn't sure.

I wasn't sure if I could meet someone new, I've spent so many years loving Chris that I don't even know how to love someone else.

I couldn't get any sleep that night, and I knew it would tell in me the next day.

-*-
NEXT DAY
"That Annie girl is the problem" Fiona said to which I agreed.

How could she think she can come from nowhere and just get Chris all to herself. It was definitely because Chris doesn't remember a thing because of not, he wouldn't keep choosing her over me.

"I feel like strangling her right now" I said in anger and the girls just laughed at me. I knew I surely wouldn't kill anyone, it was just the anger.

"Why don't you try giving him a call then?" Hilda suggested but I wasn't going to, not ever!

"Then he'd just see me as desperate. You know I hate how I love him so much". I replied and sighed.

"He could be really busy. You never can tell what happened with Annie". Hilda said.

"I don't care!" I told her in reply.

Actually I do, what if she really left and he couldn't find her till now? What if something terrible happened to her?

Stop thinking about weird things, Khloe!

"I know you know giving him a call is the best thing but your pride wouldn't let you". Fiona said!

"I've got to go back to work anyways, wouldn't want my boss yelling at me" she added and left with Hilda.

Sometimes I think those two are closer to each other than to me, like how come they appear and leave together?

Looks like I'm everyone's second choice.

I looked at the school yearbook in front of me and the picture I had beside it, I was going to show them to Chris as a proof of our past and that idiot kept deciding to ditch me every time.

Maybe doing a little bit of work would help me get him off my mind. So I went to my secretary and had her move my postponed meeting back to normal, if the other parties are available that is.

"Yes ma'am. Especially Mr. Clifford, he insisted he wasn't going to postpone the meeting" she told me.

I was going to snap at her for not thinking of informing me until I came up to her but I decided to let it go. I was frustrated and angry at the moment and didn't want to take it out on anyone anymore.

"You could have said it sooner! Send me the details and try setting up the rest". I told her and went back into my office to prepare for the meeting.

I could as well make the day a very busy one!
