Josie and Sunny walked into the restaurant together, there were a few heads that turned, probably because they heard the yelling outside. "What are you doing here?" Sunny asked Josie as he was seated by Rain.
"Just visiting my new friend, Allie." she sneered teasingly. "I assume you're doing the same?"
Sunny narrowed his eyes suspiciously "Don't you dare do anything embarrassing.
Josie waved her hand nochalantly "Its not anything you haven't seen or heard before."
He seemed to be thinking before he shrugged "True, I think I've grown immune to it." He glanced around and didn't notice Allie anywhere. When Rain came back he asked her "Is Allie here today?"
Rain shook her head "No, I think she's out sick."
"Is she okay?" Sunny asked with full concern written all over his face.
Rain shrugged "Don't know. So do you want to eat or visit her?" she smiled slyly.
Josie laughed "Is it that obvious?" Rain nodded joining in with her laughter. "You, my friend" she pointed at Sunny "need help."
Sunny ignored her remark as he got up and pointed to her "Don't follow me." he warned. He rushed out of the restaurant.
Rain looked at Josie "Aren't you going to follow him?"
Josie smiled "No, I like this girl."

When Sunny got to Allie's apartment complex, he saw the iron bar gate that locked him out. He quickly waved to the elderly security gaurd "Uncle! Can you let me in?" he called.
The man shook his head "You're not a tenant here, sorry."
Sunny smiled "How about a boyfriend of one of your tenants?"
The security guard got up and walked over the gate "Really? Who?"
"Allie...." he didn't remember her last name.
"Ms Ng?" the guard finished for him. "I didn't know she had a boyfriend." but the gentleman looked friendly enough as he let Sunny enter. "I haven't seen her all morning, she might not even be home." he advised.
Sunny nodded "She's in bed, sick."
"Oh, that explains alot. What good boyfriend you are, coming by just to see her?" the man complimented. "Do you know what apartment she's in?"
Sunny smiled apologetically "No."
"3rd floor, apartment C9." he smiled as he watched Sunny rush up the stairs not bothering to wait for the elevator.
When he got to her place he stood in front of the door completely out of breath. He took a deep breath and was about to knock when his nose senses caught some odor out of the ordinary. Was it gas? His eyes widened as he realized it was gas. Frantically, he banged on the wooden door "Allie!! Allie, can you hear me? It's Sunny! Open up!" he yelled over and over but still their was not a budge.
He was going to run down to the security to have him open the door but he was afraid it would be too late. He didn't know how long she was in there. Sunny decided to break down the door himself as he used his full strength and body weight against the door. It took him three full tries but it eventually gave way and the hallway was overcome with the gas. He waved his hands in front of him as he coughed out the awful smell invading his nose. "Allie!"
He found her in the hallway, sprawled out on the tiles. He quickly ran to the kitchen to turn off the stove and came back to her. "Allie, are you okay?" he asked as he tapped her on the face. Still she did not answer so he took her pulse, it was barely beating. Picking her up easily with his arms as he raced her down the stairs.
The security man saw them and worried quickly overcame him "Is she okay? What happened?" he asked.
Sunny shook his head "I don't know, can you call the ambulance?"
The man nodded while dialing. Sunny placed her on the ground as he rested her head on his chest "Please be okay." he prayed over and over.
Within minutes the emergency ambulance came as they whisked her away to the hospital, with Sunny riding in the back. "She should be okay once we clean out her lungs." one of the emergency nurses reassured Sunny who was gripping on Allie's hand so tight.
When they got to the hospital, the nurses took her to the emergency rooms while Sunny waited outside. He was lost in thought and almost didn't hear his cell ringing. "Hello?"
"Sunny! I want to talk to Allie, put her on. Don't you dare say she's not there, I know you're with her!" Josie's voice sang happily.
Sunny sighed "I'm at the hospital down the street, Allie had a little accident."
"What?! Is she okay?" Josie's voice was full of concern.
"I don't know, the doctors are tending to her right now." he brushed his fingers through his hair with frustration.
"You need me there?" she asked calmly. She knew her friend did not deal well with emergencies.
"Did you have to ask?" he sighed.
"I'll be there before you can say..." she didn't finish her sentence and the cell went dead.
He looked at the phone with a smile, his friend was such a strange person sometimes. He didn't know how long he was sitting until Josie came. She immediately spotted the touseled hair Sunny. "How is she?" she rushed over to him.
"They're still in there." Sunny sat back with his eyes closed.
"She'll be okay." Josie wrapped her arms around him as she leaned on his shoulders. "Don't worry." she coaxed. "Should we call her work to tell them?" she was thinking logically.
Sunny nodded "I think so." he made the call to Richard. He seemed worried but Sunny assured that he would stay until she was released.
About an hour later, the doctors came out "Who is the familiy of Allison Ng?"
At the sound of her name, Sunny and Josie stood up "We are her friends."
The doctor smiled trying to assure the worried faces "She's going to be okay. But her lungs was full of toxic gas, we cleared it out finally. Did you know if she was trying to commit suicide or was it an accident?"
Sunny found no reason why she would want to commit suicide. "I think it was an accident. She was trying to cook porridge but I guess she forgot to turn the knob all the way, so the gas leaked out. I'm not sure how long she fainted until I came."
The sincere doctor nodded "Well, she's very lucky you came. You can visit her now. She might be sleeping though. Let her rest." Sunny nodded as he and Josie raced to her room.
Inside it smelled like medicine and it made Josie sick to her stomach "We have to get her out." she wrinkled her nose in disapproval.
Sunny wasn't paying attention as his eyes were glued to Allie's, she looked so peaceful resting on the bed. Two tubes were taped inside her nostrils. Her hand was resting on top of each other. He reached out slowly and took her hand in his, it felt cold. "Allie?" he whispered.
Josie hit him across the arm "Don't wake her up!" she hissed.
Allie's eyes popped open and came eye to eye with Sunny. she muttered a short "Where am I?"
Josie covered her mouth in shock "Oh my gosh, she's got amnesia."
Allie looked over at the other face that was looking at her "Josie?"
Sunny sighed as he glanced at his friend "Don't scare me like that!" he turned back to Allie with a smile "You remember me don't you?"
She smiled in return "Of course, Sunny." her face clouded over "What happened?"
"Were you trying to cook porridge?" Sunny asked, she nodded. "You didn't turn the stove off all the way."
She wrinkled her forehead and then looked down at her hands but did not pull away from his grasp "I'm so stupid." she sighed with a smile "Thank you for saving my life."
"So you owe him your life now, right?" Josie teased.
Allison laughed hoarsely "I guess so. What do you want me to do?" she teased Sunny.
Josie leaned in and whispered "He probably wants you to marry him." she giggled when Sunny pushed her away playfully.
"Don't listen to her. You don't owe me anything. Friends watch out for each other." he said calmly, trying not to blush.
"And lovers save each other's lives." Josie quipped.
Allie shook her head at her new friend, she was always so teasing. "I missed you."
"Did you hear that?" she nudged Sunny "She missed ME. Not you." she pointed out.
"Okay, you make more comments, I'm going to kick you out!" Sunny threatened.
Suddenly the room door opened and rushed in a distress Josh. He stopped when he saw Sunny and Josie there. "Allie." he nodded to her.
"Josh? What are you doing here?" Allie moved herself as she sat up on the bed.
Josh walked to her other side "I heard from Richard that you were in the hospital." he glanced quickly at her entwined hands with Sunny.
"I didn't know you were friends with the delivery boy." Josie snickered.
Sunny gave his friend a glare and turned back to Josh "I'll let you guys talk." he got up from the chair "I'll be back later, Allie." he smiled and practically pulled Josie out of the room because her eyes were glued to Josh, giving him dirty looks.
When the two were alone, Allie smiled at Josh "You came here to see me?"
He nodded "I was worried." he said straightforwardly.
She shrugged "I'm okay now. Although I don't think I want to cook when I'm sick anymore." she joked. He looked at her strangely and she quickly told him what happened.
He sighed "Next time, call me and I will come and cook you breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't do that again, you scared the whole restaurant. Everyone was asking Richard the same questions."
Allie laughed "I should apologize to him then."
"I'll remind you." he teased. They laughed together.
