I walked into the staff room to find Denise had cut off the phone. She just told me it was a priverte call. I went to the sink and got a mug mostly because I can't reach the top shelf where the glasses are and I filled the mug up with water. As I drank the water Denise was talking to me the one line that hit me the most was I've got a new job. My world just crashed around me. My little family I gained was gone.
"What about Britney and Joe", I asked hoping they were staying.
"They're coming to I wouldn't just leave them with you again thats not fair", Denise said back to me.
I didn't want Denise to go she's my big sister and even though she doesn't show it if I was in danger she'd save me or stick up for me. Denise just looked at me.
"So your leaving holby", I said with tears filling my eyes.
"Yeah", Denise said.
At this point I was stuggling to keep the tears in I didn't want to cry infront of Denise because I understood how much she wanted the job.
"Sorry to intrupt but Denise your needed in respeption", Louise said.
Denise turned to look at me and left.
I burst into tears I love Denise but I think our relationship was a love hate relationship, I loved Denise but I swear she hates me. I couldn't stop crying and someone walked in. I stared at her for a while with tears streaming down my face.
"Linda what's wrong", Meg asked looking worried.
I didn't say anything I jut walked over to her and hugged her, Meg hugged me back tightly. Meg hates seeing people cry and I'm her best friend so I suppose she hates seeing me cry the most. Meg was trying to calm me down but I kept crying.
"Shh Linda shh", Meg said while hugging me.
I stopped crying and was able to tell her what was wrong.
"Denise is leaving with Britney and Joe", I said with watery eyes.
"Don't worry you still have me", Meg said to me.
"Thanks", I shyly said back.
Meg took me into another hug and I began to cry again
"Aww Linda", Meg said.
Dylan entered well I had told him I was only going for a drink of water.
"Oh yes well take as long as you need and I expect you back in resus", Dylan said being himself.
I said nothing but continued crying, all I could think about at this moment was how could Denise not tell me she was leaving until now. I felt like I was the last to know. Dylan went back to resus. Meg started to fiddle with my hair she plaited it. Meg's a year older than me.
"Do I smell", I asked Meg as a paitent told me I smelt earlier.
"No you smell lovely", Meg said back.
I wasn't sure as I know Meg would never be horrible to me.
"I wouldnt want you to get bullied, I would tell you", Meg said.
"ok", I replied.
I got back to work and brought Meg with me.
"Staff nurse Andrews and doctor female Kent how lovely to see you again", Dylan said.
"Its Linda and Meg", I said back.
I got back to treating Henry he is a lovely bloke and so is his son Jules. It was hard though how the son wanted to move on but the father didn't want him to. A little like me with Denise. I tried to keep the tears in and thought I was doing quite well. At one point I thought I was going to cry again and so did Meg she put her hand on my back.
"Exuse me", I said before walking out.
I needed the fresh air. I was standing against the wall.
"Bad day", Zoe asked.
"You could say that", I replied.
Zoe put her ciggerette out and came over to me.
"what's wrong", Zoe asked.
"Denise, Britney and Joe are leaving Holby they're going half an hour away", I replied trying to keep the tears in but let one slip by mistake. Zoe hugged me.
