When Alicia first left, many of her colleagues blamed Lily. Even if they didn't say it out loud, Lily knew that what they sat behind her back. Much to Lily annoyance her colleagues had a new thing to talk about. Alicia's birthday party. Oh how embarrassing that was. Lily turned red just thinking about. Lily decided then and then that from that moment on she would not give any occasion more gossip about her. Even though these thought were in her mind, there was something else that got more of her attention.

Flashback:

Last night Lily meet a young girl who happened to live in the same flat as Lily. She had knock on the door with tears in her eyes asking if she could stay with her. Lily questioned it at first but after seeing how upset the girl looked she took her in. Lily, not really being good with children, found it difficult to talk to the child. So most of the time they were in silence. Lily wondered if she should call the police; after getting up to get her phone. The child, who's name was Rachael, began to cry begging not to call the police. Lily left it alone. By the time nine o'clock Rachael announced that it was time for her to go home. Lily asked where she lived and offered to walk the child upstairs. But Rachael refused saying she would be fine. Before leaving the girl hugged Lily. Lily hugged her back. As Rachael left Lily noticed marks on the girl's arm. Lily wanted to say something but the girl was already gone leaving Lily with many thoughts.

Over the cause of the night Lily though about the girl and decided that Rachael was going to need help. But without really knowing what was going on, Lily couldn't do much.

With whining from baby in the mother hands and the mother constantly telling Lily that if the job wasn't done properly, she would report Lily without a second thought. Lily suppressed a groan, knowing that she didn't need to on any sort of report anytime soon. Soon the mother kept asking if her daughter was seriously ill. After answers about three times the mother was satisfied and went into silence.

Lily took of her gloves watched the family go. After about six more similar patients, Lily's shift was finished. She gratefully made her way to her locker. She quickly made her way out, hoping to make it out before the rest of the rest shift finished. She gathered her stuff rather quickly, then headed out of the ED. She reached her bike and heard a jolly voices towards the pub. It was the rest of the ED staff member all going out for a drink.
