That Awkward Thing Called A Love Triangle
Hey everyone this is my first ever fic as the only writing I've ever done is the creative writing your forced to do in English class. None of the characters belong to me, they belong to the BBC. Hope you enjoy this story. All mistakes are mine and all constructive criticism is appreciated to make me a better writer. Thanks. Anna.
The digital clock on the dashboard changed to 6.38. Nick smiled to himself as he was 22 minutes early for his shift which as Clinical Lead gives off a good impression to the rest of his staff. Walking towards the ED entrance he noticed Zoe having her morning cigarette. He frowned a little as he hated that she still smoked especially right beside the no smoking sign but also because she had arrived to work earlier than him.
"Morning Dr Hanna, see you still haven't kicked that filthy habit." Zoe stood taking another drag before she replied "morning Mr Jordan and as I fondly remember you quite enjoyed the odd bit of filth" as she winked at him.
Nick quickly responded, "Zoe, my office, 5 minutes" and with that Nick was already at reception collecting his messages before he stormed down the corridor to his office.
Zoe just tutted taking another drag with a slight smile on her face wondering what Nick wanted to talk to her about. Zoe finished her cigarette and walked up towards Noel at reception.
"He's a little ray of sunshine today, isn't he?" said Zoe.
"Well I'd like to hope so" replied Noel.
"I was being sarcastic Noel" Zoe said with raised eyebrows. "Why what do you know?" Zoe questioned. Noel tried to dodge the question by shuffling some patient files and pretending to type on the computer.
"Noellll" Zoe said in a more serious tone.
"Ok, ok, ok, but you didn't hear it from me ok?" replied Noel.
"Ok" said Zoe.
"Well you know the way Yvonne was shot last week."
"Yes I know Noel, I helped treat her. Hurry up" Zoe said as she looked at her watch.
"Apparently Mr J proposed to her the other night, as..."
"Oh my god" exclaimed Zoe as she now felt embarrassed about her conversation just minutes ago with Nick.
"I know right, amazing news" replied Noel. "To be honest I always thought yous' two would sort out your ways but hey ho" Noel said.
However by this stage Zoe was nearly running to the toilets. She walked into a cubicle and sat on the toilet seat. She just sat there, thinking about what she had thrown away and how happy Nick and Yvonne where going to be together as tears began to trickle down her cheeks. 15 minutes later her pager began to buzz and this woke her up from her daydream. "Damn" she muttered as she wiped away the tears with her hands. Zoe slid the bolt across and made her way towards the mirrors. Just as Zoe began fixing her makeup Linda walked in.
"Zoe we've been looking for you everywhere, apparently Mr Jordan required you in his office 20 minutes ago but you never showed up" Linda said.
"Em yeah, I know, I wasn't feeling the best so I needed a few minutes to sort myself out" Zoe replied.
Linda looked at Zoe more closely and realised she had been crying. "Oh my gosh, you've found out haven't you? Come here" Linda said as she pulled Zoe in for a hug, rubbing her back as she felt Zoe burst into tears.
I hope it wasn't too bad. Please review and tell me what you think Anna.
