Dr. Cullen had,had a bad day.3 deaths, 2 Resuses that were successful and 1 Patient throwing up over his clothes. He asked Maddy if she wanted to go out for drinks tonight, but she had turned him down saying she had some unfinished business to attend to, Maybe another night. He was annoyed with himself and hell he had the worst day imaginable, well almost. He went to a bar 10 minutes walk from the hospital to drown his sorrows, he'd been doing that a lot recently. He sat in the bar, ordered 3 Shots, drank 2 beers and had a glass of wine with his meal, needless to say he wasn't very sober or very well. He then made a further mistake and was unconsciously checking out this woman, when a man came up to him
"You looking at my bird punk?" He asked menacingly
"I don't see any birds. It nighty night time." Linden said drunkenly and stupidly. Inwardly he was cursing himself for getting involved with this but his mouth was faster than his mind.
"You saying shes ugly" He asked flexing his fists
"No, I mean,
some birds are pretty, some arn't" He answered
The man took
this as an insult, he pushed Linden who fell into a puddle, one of
those horrible puddles that you get soaked if you fall in. They'd had
a lot of rain recently.
The guy intoxicated left with his girl. Linden pulled himself to his feet. He needed to get home before anything else happened. One good thing had happened, the water had sobered him up a little and given him a shock. He hailed a cab and gave an address. The driver pulled up by Holby cemetery, he paid the driver and got out, managing not to thrown up in the taxi, as he got out the taxi drove off. He realised his mistake, he was by the cemetery, he must have been thinking of Olivia when he gave the address, now he was further from home than before, cursing himself for his stupidity. He didn't make it far before he threw up again, great now he would smell of vomit for the rest of the night. He turned his head and heard shouting
"How could you? You mess up my life, then come back and want me back!" A woman's angry voice could be heard through the night.
"I'm sorry, It
was stupid, I guess..." The make voice sounding quiet, almost
pleading her
"I turned down a great offer to hear what you
had to say" she was just as angry
"Well it couldn't be too good, shacked up with the new lead consultant then? Now you've heard it, so I'm taking it that that's a no?" He asked
"Correct." She lowered her voice
"Fine, lets say this is the last time we see each other again" He said in an angry voice
"Works for me. God Dan you screw me up every time, just keep away" Her voice had reached its peak, it now broke.
"If that's what you want Mad..." He said with resignation
"It is, now go" Dan turned tail and left. Maddy stayed standing till he was gone in his sports car before collapsing on the stairs in tears. He always did this, he always hurt her.
