Striving too hard

She left the hospital thirty minutes later, not knowing where on earth to go, but not willing to remain in the hospital any longer. The bright sun hit her eyes and she glanced around the busy street. People were milling up and down and Chloe wished that she knew where to go too so that she would not look like a lost and confused soul. She was sure that people were staring at her, and that she stood out like a sore thumb or maybe that was just her vivid imagination. In her hand, she clutched an envelope that contained some money which that nice and handsome guy, Ethan had left for her. That was another reason why she had to leave. She did not want to take advantage of his kindness. He looked like one of those selfless people who would go out of their way to help people in distress. In a way, she was thankful that she did not know anyone in this place in which she found herself. She could just imagine how awful it would be not to recognize the people who knew her.
