This is just a very short one-shot, I might continue it later on if people like it.
It's just after 2am when Rita walks into the staffroom. It's been a quiet shift, everybody has been getting along. Everyone except Zoe and Max, and no one knows why. The nurse sees Zoe sitting on the floor by the lockers. Her heels have been kicked to the side and her knees are pulled up to her chest. Her eyes are closed as tears stream down her cheeks.
'Zoe?' Rita ask and the lead consultant slowly opens her eyes to look up at the blonde.
'What's going on?' Rita asks sitting down next to her friend.
'I fucked up.' Zoe admits.
'C'mon... It can't be that bad.' Rita says passing Zoe a tissue.
'I cheated on Max... I slept with someone else the night before our wedding and he hates me for it... I don't blame him. I hate myself for fucking up the only good thing in my life.' Zoe says and Rita sighs.
'Oh Zoe...' She begins and Zoe shakes her head.
'D-Don't feel sorry for me... I've ruined everything and it is all my fault. Max has moved back in with Robyn and Lofty. I've never felt so alone.' Zoe admits as she wraps her arms around her knees.
'How did he find out? When did he find out?' Rita asks.
'Just before we had our first dance... Dylan said something and I had to tell him the truth. I couldn't not tell him.' Zoe replies.
'He was the only good thing in my life and I fucked it up.' She adds. Rita wraps her arm around the lead consultant as she stares ahead with tears streaming down her cheeks. They sit in silence for a couple of minutes before Zoe glances at Rita and sighs.
'I wish I had died that night.' She admits.
