A/N: Cliche title I know but it's not a Serena/Colette pairing story it's a their friendship story, anyway I hope you enjoy, I like Guy so this is probably the only story is going to be a meanie...I hope anyway enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Holby City sadly, nor do I own the characters even more sadly I do however own my imagination!
Oh also another thing I am aware of female stereotypes so if you don't like the thought of Colette being the victim please don't read as I know the stereotypes of women I just wanted to make that clear haha. Enjoy!
Colette was just about to finish her day shift and she was knackered, her hair was a mess and she looked thin and pale, "Nurse Sheward I was wondering if you could work tonight?" Guy asked, in all honesty he was just trying to see how far the nurse could go before she broke, "Nurse Harrison is out with Mr Levy so we are a nurse down and you're the only one here."
"I have to go," Colette needed to go to her landlord to pay her rent as she was four months behind and if she didn't pay it, she was on her last warning which meant no rent no house and she agreed with her landlord to pay today to avoid being evicted; so Guy forcing her to work meant she was going to get evicted.
"I don't care where you have to go, you're working tonight as an order," Guy walked away and Colette felt her eyes burning with hot tears, she hadn't slept well for months and today was the day she would finally be able to sleep; obviously now she was going to sleep but not in her house. Once Guy was gone the Director Of Nursing ran into the toilets and finally released her emotions.
Serena was in the cubicle finishing her business and her attention was caught by the sound of crying, instinctively from being a mother and also a doctor she went to find the source, "Nurse Sheward?" Serena asked and Colette quickly dried her eyes before looking at Serena, "What's happened?" Serena asked worried and Colette not wanting Serena to see her upset she walked out, but Serena followed worried about her colleague, "Colette what's happened?" Serena asked as Colette went to the Nurse's Station and got out a bottle of water.
"I'm fine," Colette answered but Serena was unconvinced she had been working with Colette for a while now and had gotten to know her, "You don't need my worries OK."
"Oh trust me I could do with the distraction, my mother's suffering with dementia the closest I get to company is a glass of wine and the T.V.," Serena explained and Colette sighed heavily before pulling two strands of stray hair behind her ears.
"I'm being evicted….I had the four months of rent I owed and Guy's had me work late…so I'm guessing my landlord is outside waiting," Colette said it so casually, maybe she was used to this falling having to move from place to place, "I'll be fine."
"If you leave now would you be able to catch him?" Serena asked and Colette shook her head, Serena could see the nurse looked exhausted, she was not herself hadn't been for a while Serena had put it down to her fallout with Guy but it was obvious now she was just struggling and no one had bothered to say anything or if they had Colette may have told them to leave her alone, "I can drive you there."
"It's too late…I'll be fine," Colette went to walk away but Serena stopped her by grabbing her wrist, "Serena you have your mother and everything else, you do not need the worries about me."
"And like I said I'm returning the favour…where are you living?" Serena asked curiously, though both women were distracted by Colette's phone beeping.
I gave you your warning you said 9pm and it's now past 9pm, so you have 24 hours to collect your stuff else it's being left outside
Colette threw her phone on the floor in frustration and Serena picked it back up then looked at the text, she couldn't begin to imagine how Colette was feeling. All her life she had stable homes from infant-hood to adulthood she had never been without a home, her daughter hadn't been either so trying to figure out the nurse was feeling was something Serena couldn't do, "I need to get on with my shift," Colette walked was scared but more angry this was Guy getting revenge for what happened with Jesse and Zosia; she had spoke to him before the showdown with Jesse and Guy and he knew too well she was struggling.
Serena decided enough was enough Guy had gone too far this time; he was not going to get away with this she knew as well that he had done this out of spite and she was going to give him a good wake up call.
...
Guy was sat in is office on his phone going through Facebook a lot of notifications had come up on his phone, as an old friend of his had been going through his photo albums and decided to tag Guy in a lot of the photos; some of them were of him and Anya, Zosia, Jesse and Colette and it made Guy so angry to think that his 'friend' could even think about sleeping with his daughter, Jesse had always been 'Uncle Jesse' even from the age of one he had been 'Uncle Jesse' but more so 'Unca Jeffy' before gradually being able to say 'Uncle Jesse' it made Guy feel physically sick that Jesse had even thought of sleeping with Zosia he had known her since she was a baby, babysat her, comforted her when Anya was ill and Guy not being good at sentiments he had been forced to ask Jesse to talk to Zosia, then finding out Colette knew was a whole new kettle of fish she had always been to Anya a surrogate sister someone who she could talk about her problems with, and always went to her as they were only four years apart in age you could count them as sisters, though Anya being older Colette had always been more 'wise of the world' and had become a big sister figure to Zosia protecting her when she got bullied by people on the way home as her mother wasn't from 'here', when she become older she had given Zosia advice yet the young teenager was stubborn you could tell she had taken it on board and to think she knew Zosia had been sleeping with Jesse made him wonder what else does she know about Zosia?
"Yeah," Guy said bluntly as he heard a knock on the and an angry looking Serena Campbell came in and Guy sat forward, "Yes Serena what can I do for you?"
Serena laughed bitterly before walking over to the large desk she was once an owner of, "I think it's more what you can do for Colette, now she's been made homeless...yes your little stunt of keeping her at work has gotten her evicted," Serena elaborated as Guy looked lost, "Well I need to let you know a few things Mr Self," Serena sat down on the chair opposite Guy before crossing one leg over the other.
