Kendall did as Greenlee asked and had stayed away from work.  She stayed away all right.  She didn’t even leave her room.  She was completely afraid of running into Greenlee anywhere.  What if she caused Greenlee pain or something?  She hadn’t taken an interest in the phone ringing or eating for that matter for last couple of days either.  She knew this was no way to keep going, but she couldn’t bring herself to really care about what was going on outside her door.  All she knew was that she had just cost herself the one thing she had just recently realized mattered to her.  So, here she lays in her bed un-showered, unfed, and basically unkempt.  She stares out the window in her room.  Occasionally, she catches a glimpse of Greenlee coming and going and that has become her only moment of life.  She turns her head toward the door when she hears an insistent knock.  She just blinks not really comprehending that she should answer it.  After all, it was probably just Aidan again asking if she still had the flu.  The knock keeps coming though and she knows she should get up to answer it, but she just can’t.

“Kendall, come on.  If you are still sick you need to see a doctor.  I’ll even take you.  Please just open the door.  I asked around and room service says you haven’t order food in days.”  Aidan’s voice comes through the door as she suspected.

“Go away, Aidan.  I’m fine.”  Her voice comes out hoarse from its lack of use.

“Please Kendall, I just want to see your face so I know your at least getting better.  I’ll go away if you just come to the door.”  Aidan pleads truly worried.

Outside, Greenlee stands down by her door preparing to enter when she hears Aidan pleading at Kendall’s door.  She stops and listens.

“I’m FINE.  Just leave me alone!”  Kendall yells through the door.

“Kendall you’re not fine.  No one has seen you since Christmas.  I know you haven’t been out of that room once since then.  I asked the maid service and they haven’t been into clean since then.  What is really wrong?  Please Kendall, come to the door.”
