Max stood in the staff room looking at his phone, he'd received three texts, one from Lofty, one from Zoe and one from Victoria. He opened the one from Lofty first
Hey mate, gonna be late need you to cover. Lofty
Max grinned, he wasn't going to cover for Lofty as it would be hilarious for Tess to find him coming in late. He then opened the text from Zoe and smiled while reading it.
Hey babe, see you soon, Zoe xx
The last text was from Victoria and the only one Max replied to. He opened it and read the text out in his head just as his step sister Robyn entered the staff room and being nosy about who the text is from.
"Who's that", Robyn asked.
"A friend", Max replied.
Robyn smiled and left after putting her belongings into her locker. Max waited for her to leave before reading the text from Victoria properly. He looked down at his phone.
Hey, Mercedes has teacher training day and I have work, don't suppose you can look after her, if not I'll get Beyonce to bunk off school to look after her, Victoria xx
Sorry Vic, I got a job and started work an hour ago, Max x
Zoe came in and Max and Zoe kissed as he put his phone in his pocket. Max then left the staff room and went to attend to a patient leaving Zoe in the staff room smiling like an idiot but she didn't care, she loved Max. Zoe went into resus where Ash and Connie were, they had just lost a patient who was involved in a car accident. Zoe left with Connie and she sat at the nurses station and smiled at Max as he walked past. Max smiled back. Max walked outside and Zoe followed him, they both lie their cigarettes and smiled at each other.
"You're amazing, you know that", Zoe said.
"I know", Max replied grinning.
Zoe kissed Max on the cheek, she hadn't felt this happy since she was dating Nick Jordan or when Linda was around. Something about Max was different and Zoe liked it. They went back inside after their cigarettes and waited for someone to come in. Zoe smiled at max and he smiled back.
