Chapter 1 –
"Sam we need you on a shout, large gas explosion on Farmead" Nick shouted, while ushering the staff into there positions. With that Sam gave Nick a quick nod and grabbed her medic jacket and headed towards the ED exit. Outside waiting for her was a 4x4 paramedic vehicle, of which Sam jumped straight into and raced off towards the scene. She swiftly arrived at the scene and jumped out of the 4x4.
"Jesus, this Is bad.." Sam gasped under her breath, before racing off to an injured casualty. She knelt down beside him and took the young male's pulse.
"Slow and Steady" Sam whispered to herself concentrating on the job at hand. San grabbed her medical kit off her back and opened it up, She pulled out a large dressing and applied it to the deep cut on the man's head. Sam then placed an oxygen mask gently over his face as she had observed his breathing was a little irregular . Sam quickly looked up scanning for help, she soon noticed a wondering Dixie.
"Dix, Dix… Over here!" Sam shouted. Dixie then ran over to Sam and knelt down next to her.
"How can I help?" Dixie asked kindly.
"I have to get this man back to the ED as possible; please could you help me get him to the helicopter?" Sam asked in a rushed but soft tone.
"Sure, I think they are based over there" Dixie stated pointing to a desertered area. With that the two women lifted the patient onto a stretcher and made there way over to the helicopter, of which was a few minutes away.
"Can you take it from here Sam?" Dixie asked noticing Jeff waving his arms about so he could get her attention. Sam simply replied with a nod of the head and continued to make her way over to the now seen aircraft. Sam arrived greeted with a tall, dark haired, muscular man a smile planted in his face.
"You alone with this patient?" The doctor questioned.
"I was, it took me ages to find you lot" Sam smirked while gesturing to the helicopter.
"So what have we got?"
"Approx. 25year old male, deep cut to his upper forehead, looks like a couple of possible broken ribs however I am more worried about his breathing pattern" Sam replied quickly and confidentially.
"Right ok, I've got it from here" He replied. Taking hold of the patients bed.
"If you don't mind I think I'd like to come, I know his story" Sam replied with a smile across her face causing the doctor to raise an eyebrow.
"On one condition… you have to come for a drink with me later" The doctor replied cheekily, causing Sam to raise an eyebrow. She could not believe it the doctor was bribing her. The doctors other male colleague appeared over his shoulder and scanned Sam.
"Love, your be doing him a favour, the only reason he is considering swapping is because he is scared of flying" Sam let out a giggle a smirk written all over her face.
"What's there to be scared of? It's a safe model" Sam spoke to cause both men to raise an eyebrow.
"If you want to go you must still have a drink with me later" He spoke once again.
"Fine… fine… Whatever" Sam said quickly before wheeling her patient into the helicopter.
"It's not like I am going to see him again.. Idiot" Sam whispered cleverly under her breath. It was a short journey to the ED, as soon as they touched down Sam run around the back of the craft and pulled her patient out of the back. She began to wheel him over towards the ED before seeing Nick and Zoe emerge from the entrance.
"This is un-known male, approx. 25 years old with a deep head laceration, suspected broken ribs, and un0known breathing complications, which have improved" Sam told the pair while completing the transition.
"Go and take a break Sam, you look exhausted" Nick stated.
"Thanks Mr J" Sam quickly replied before heading off in the direction off the staff room. When she arrived she walked straight over to her locker pulled out a packet of crisps and went and sat down on the sofa. Within seconds the staffroom door swung open. Linda. She quickly walked over and sat next to Sam, armed with a packet of crisps just like Sam.
"Hey Sam, did you know we had a new doctor starting here today?" Linda questioned, obviously happy.
"No, I had no idea, have you meet him/her yet?" Sam questioned.
"Briefly, just after you left in fact, HIS names Dr Tom Kent and my I say he is very fit…" Linda stated. She started to giggle before getting up and putting her crisp packet in the bin.
"I need to meet him" Sam stated jokily, while raising an eyebrow at Linda, With that Linda left the room shortly followed by Sam. She walked towards the desk where she started to fill out patient files, when the ED doors when slamming open.
"Can I get some help over here" The doctor started . Sam jumped up and ran over to the incoming bed. She politely grabbed the patient file of Dixie and began to read.
" This is 22 year old Thomas Cram, Severe burns to the arms and hands along with a possible broken ankle" Before the doctor could finish Sam looked up, she recognised that voice as if she had only just heard it.
"Great" Sam sighed under her breath. It was only the doctor that had asked her out for a drink only hours before.
"Right then, Let's get him into resus" Sam said trying to break the ongoing awkward atmosphere forming.
The un-known doctor quickly followed hooking the man up to a heart machine before giving Sam a smirk.
"I hear I'm an idiot" The doctor smirked. Causing Sam's jaw to drop, which she swiftly closed again.
"Ermmm…. How do you know I called you that?" Sam said started to blush.
"Well us helicopter crew are a tight lot, I will find out everything" He smirked before giving Sam a small cheeky smile.
"Right then… Well if your ok here I have other patients" Sam said quickly making her excuses to leave. Before the Doctor could reply Sam has already left resus. Walking down the corridor Sam bumped into Nick who grabbed her arm to signal he wanted to speak to her.
"Sam, we had a new Doctor start here today, who I believe you have not met" Nick questioned. Sam once again simply replied with a nod.
"Well, I would like him to feel welcome so come to my office in a few minutes and I will introduce you both" Nick replied.
"Sure" Sam replied simply. With that Nick went off to presumably go and find the doctor. Sam walked the other way and went and sat down at the desk. She had a few minutes to spare and went to fill out even more patient notes.
"Hey" A small voice croaked. She looked up to see Linda, who came and sat down next to her.
"Hey… you okay?" Sam replied sweetly.
"Fine thank you, Have you met the new doctor yet?" Linda asked wanting to know Sam's opinion of him.
"Not yet, Nick wants' me to go to his office in a minute and he is going to introduce us, I just don't want to be there first" Sam stated. Closing a patient file and putting her pen back in her hair.
"I am sure you will like him, you better get going Sam, there's Nick now heading towards his office" Linda said looking in the direction of Nick. Sam simply stood up and slowly walked over to Nick's office. She took a deep breath before opening the office door.
"Mr J" Sam said. Noticing she was in fact the first doctor in the room. She sat down awkwardly waiting for the arrival of the new doctor. It seemed like hours Sam was waiting before the door finally opened. It was him. The idiot. Sam's mouth floor open, shocked.
"Now you are both here… Sam this is Dr Tom Kent, Tom, this is Dr Sam Nicholls, I will leave you too it" Nick said before exiting the room.
"Ummm… Nice to meet you…" Sam spoke un-sure of what to say.
"Ummm… Yeah nice to meet you too properly…" Tom replied, trying to hide the smile on his face.
"So erm… I take it today is your first day? Is that working for Holby on the helicopter crew or here in the ED?" Sam asked, hoping he was going to saw for the aircraft.
"Well actually today is my last day with the crew and tomorrow is my first proper day here" Tom replied smiling. To him all of his Christmas's had just come at once, a great new team and job. Sam was un-sure of what to say, she just stood there trying to avoid eye contact with him.
"Remember you owe me that drink" Tom smirked trying to break the silence.
"Well…. I'll have to think about it" Sam said quickly before leaving the office and continuing to treat her patients.
It had been a long day for Sam, with the gas explosion and trying to avoid Tom at any possible moment. She finished up with her last patient and headed towards the empty staffroom, before leaning head bowed on her locker. The staffroom door opened, however Sam did not move a muscle. Tom walked straight over to his locker which happened to be next to Sam's and also leaned head bowed against his locker. The both turned to look each other.
"Hard day?" Sam asked kindly.
"Yep, you?" Tom replied, while growing into the standing position which Sam quickly also did..
"Yeah, today's been a long day, not the first day you wished for?" Sam spoke softly. Beginning to realize Tom was not as cocky and arrogant as she first had thought.
"No not really, I lost a four year old girl this morning and I've had Linda… is it? Practically stalking me all day" Tom said, looking straight into Sam's eyes.
"Oh yes Linda, She is one to chase the rather good looki.."
"Good looking? Dr Nicholls be careful you have just given me a complement" Tom interrupted, while smiling, Sam began to shift awkwardly.
"Well, I guess your not as bad as I first thought" Sam replied also smiling. Before turning to here locker and pulling out her bag, blue hoodie and Skinny Jeans, before smiling to Tom and walking towards the toilets to get changed. It only took her a few minutes to do so, as she exited the toilets she noticed Tom standing looking at her while Linda attempted to flirt with him.
"Linda, will you excuse me a minute" Tom said to Linda not really giving her an option before catching up Sam.
"See what I mean… Stalker" Tom said glancing at Linda. Sam simply smiled.
"Drink?" Tom queried, hoping the answer would be a yes.
"Tom, It is nothing to about you I am just a little tired hard day, but I will see you tomorrow though" Sam said kindly trying not to offend Tom.
"Sure, but please can I walk out with you before I am bombarded by another Linda Andrews flirting session" Tom joked. Sam began to laugh, before giving Tom a quick nod. The two of them exited the ED.
"Zo… Zo" Linda called. Zoe quickly walked over to where she was standing.
"Look at this, I think our Dr Nicholls and new Dr Kent have hit if off" Linda said slightly jealous of what she was witnessing.
"Let's go out after them and see where they go" With that the two of them quickly walked behind Tom and Sam hoping for some juicy gossip. The two then spotted Sam and Tom and quickly hid behind the wall.
"Thanks for your support Sam, it's nice to be able to go somewhere and actually find someone who you can talk too" Tom spoke kindly looking into Sam's deep blue eyes.
"Your Welcome, I know what it is like to be knew I only started a few months ago, and it is tricky starting somewhere you don't really know anyone, well except..." Sam then stopped, did she really want to tell Tom about Dylan, I mean everyone else knew but she had only really met Tom today.
"Except…" Tom queried, beginning to worry.
"It does not matter" Sam said trying to shift the conversation.
"Sure you don't want that drink you can tell me all about it?" Tom asked kindly. Sam stood there deep In thought, before replying with a nod. The two of them walked off in the Direction of the pub. Little did the two of them know both Zoe and Linda heard it all.
Zoe and Linda re-entered the ED, where Fletch, Tess, Lloyd, Dixie, Jeff, Noel Big Mac and Dylan where standing.
"Drinks anyone?" Zoe and Linda spoke. The whole team nodded however Dylan quietly scuffled off. The team all left the ED, Linda and Zoe fall well knowing that Tom and Sam were having a cosy little drink also in the pub.
"Let's go and see what they are up too" Linda and Zoe smirked to each other before entering the pub.
This is a bit rubbish, sorry about that. The next Chapter should be up soon, if you want me to continue, which should be set in the pub. Anyways thank you for reading and I would appreciate the Review.
Until next time (Possibly),
