Cara starred at herself in the mirror, she couldn't believe what she had done today, she knew she was defiantly going to get the sack.
'What am I going to do about this?' 'I've messed up big time' she thought. This was a new beginning to her life and she had ruined her chances already. She looks down at her scrubs top, a combination of her own blood and patient blood, she touches her nose lightly and winces.
She had all sorts of thoughts running through her head. What on earth was going to happen...was the big question...?
"I've fucked up big time" she says as she rests her head against the cool wall and begins to cry to herself.
Suddenly the door of the Locker Room opens, she wipes the tears away and tries to act 'professional' as she has already caused enough trouble today. She wants to show the AAU Team what she's really made of, that's if...she doesn't get the sack...!
Its Raf, Cara doesn't make eye contact with him at all because she knows he's already annoyed with her.
She doesn't say a single word. She watches him as he goes to his locker. She can tell he is annoyed by his actions and the way he looked at her when she quickly glanced over at him, Raf is not best impressed with her at all.
The petite Nurse grabs her things and slams her locker door making herself known to the tall registrar who has his back to her, she leaves the locker room and goes to the staff showers.
Thoughts' keep racing through her mind about what everyone's impression of her is now, after all it was only her first week at the hospital. She was the wards newbie, wanting to impress them with the skills she had as a Nurse, but after today, god knows what they thought of her.
Once in the staff shower room she, chucks her bags down and pulls the dirty scrub top off, she looks herself in the mirror once again and cries. She hates being the newbie and she suddenly wishes had stayed at Saint James'.
'This is it' she thought. I've blown my chances here big time. Whatever was she going to be able to do to become the lovely, bubbly Nurse again just like she was at Saint James' because she certainly new no one on AAU thought that about her after today...especially Raf. She thought she had been making new friends such as Raf and Fletch and she was becoming quiet close with Morven too. But she had blown it all, just after today...
She quickly looks at her phone before loosing her patients and throwing her phone at the mirror, the mirror smashed, her phone cracked and Cara broke down. She slipped down the wall and pulls her knees up to her cheat and cries hard.
"Why do bad things always happen to me?" she mumbles to herself through the tears. Whilst she was crying Morven walks in and doesn't really pay much attention to her at all. Although, she did happen to notice the cracked mirror and Cara's phone lying on the cold tile floor.
Cara looks up at Morven and wipes away her tears. She hears Morven mumble something to herself but Cara brushes it off as she knows its probably a judgmental comment, Cara grabs her things and gets changed once off the floor. She wonders to herself how drunk she can get herself tonight just to drown her sorrows.
She grabs her bags and picks up her phone. She heads for Albies. Thankfully, she doesn't meet any of the AAU Team on her way out of the Hospital, which is a good thing saving her the embarrassment of todays mess.
Cara walks into Albies, she sees her boss sitting the in corner but she doesn't make eye contact with them. "Large vodka" Cara orders as she leans against the bar and rubs her face. She sits on a bar stool with her back to her boss, recalling all that had happened today. Her nose was still sore, as she touches it again and winces in pain. She drinks her large vodka rather quickly and soon asks for another, She looks at her hand she can see bruises forming, from where she was grabbed by the out of control patient which she sort of riled earlier today.
She thought to herself 'Today was just a mistake right? Everyone makes mistakes.' But she knew today wasn't just a mistake it was leaving her career on the line...
She was going to have too face the embarrassment of walking onto AAU tomorrow morning facing those 5 faces; Raf, Fletch, Arthur, Morven and worst of all Serena!
She hears laughter coming from behind her, she tries to drown out the laughter of Raf, Morven, Serena, Arthur and Fletch as she knows their probably laughing about her big cock up today.
"Just the same again please" she says drunkly to the bartender trying to ignore all the noise coming from them.
The bartender gives her a funny look, he doesn't know weather to say 'Don't you think you've had enough?' As it was Caras 4th large Vodka of the night. She was so tempted to look round at them all, but she didn't want to, as she knew they would either laugh even more or talk about what had happened today.
The bar tender gives her another drink and she downs it in seconds before drunkly standing up and grabbing her hand bag. Cara walks past the AAU team and out of the pub, she staggers a little out onto the pavement.
Leaving the pub she gets laughed at...well at least she thinks its her their all laughing at. It is ever so clear she is very drunk, she can hardly walk in a straight line with the heals she has on. She calls for a Taxi to take her home. Cara waits in the freezing cold with all but a denim jacket on that doesn't keep her very warm. She gets shivers down her spine, while she waits...on her own.
She hears something from behind her, she quickly turns but nothing is behind her, the street is creepishly quiet and its oddly foggy.
All she can see is car head lights driving past and the lit up hospital just in the distance. As she stood waiting the fog was getting heavier and she could barely see a thing...which wasn't really a good thing as she was extremely drunk.
Suddenly a hand covers Cara's mouth and pulls her away from the side of the road, Cara instantly tries to scream and fight back.
Cara has no idea who it is. She screams as loud as she can, but no one hears her. All of a sudden she finds herself lying on the pavement still a hand covering her mouth. She's kicking and screaming as the hand grips even tighter around her mouth.
Her eyes fill with fear and Tears, her heart is racing and she is trying to fight back up the hooded stranger is to strong for her, she can see something in his pocket.
Her heart is pounding like mad. She starts to become clammy. She doesn't know what to do as no one can hear her. She stares at the strangers pocket, thoughts running through her head of what is in his pocket. The hooded stranger can see Cara is scared but she has no one...its dark, cold and the heavy fog is heavier than ever and Cara Martinez...she has no one to come and help her fight this stranger off her.
She can hardly breathe now, and with her last burst if energy she thrashes about and knees the hooded stranger in the balls, Cara's moment comes and she pushes him off her and tries to get up but he grabs her ankle and pulls her back. Her chin hits off the hard pavement and suddenly he feels three hard strikes one in her back and two in her stomach...
