Chapter one

Crappy coffee

Sophie pressed the button on the coffee maker. It always made the worst coffee but she was trying not to care. To drink her terrible coffee and sit with the other doctors and get through her day so she could sleep, but it was only seven, and she had to stay awake until nine. The wonders of being a medical professional. It was only last year that all of her internships had ended. She was no longer a student. Of course she still took advice from doctors who had been there longer ( Elwin, Livvy) , but she was technically an independent doctor who did things. Today however was particularly complicated being as she had just ended a twelve year relationship and was up particularly early so she could let her Pomeranian Iggy outside to pee. She didn't have to work until nine AM, it was a twelve hour shift. She was here early because she was out of coffee. Which left her with crappy stuff at work. She looked at her phone. 75 unread texts, how does one not look at their phone for half an hour and end up with 75 unread texts. The answer was simple, Biana had obviously heard of the breakup.

Biana:Sophie

Biana : are you okay

Biana: do you need ice cream

Biana: I have ice cream

Biana: when do you get off you can come over and eat ice cream

Biana: I have rom coms too

Biana: Sophie

Biana: are you driving right now

Biana: If you are wait to text me back

Biana: seriously do you want ice cream

Biana: If you want I could come over with ice cream

Biana: Sophie

The texts then involved Biana asking her similar questions. She realized that she had more unread messages.

Keefe: Foster

Keefe: your car was in the parking lot where are you

Sophie sighed. She was in the same place everyday, but Keefe was seemingly unable to grasp this concept, you would think someone who had a PhD could figure it out, but nope she had to text him every day.

Sophie: Break room.

She took another sip of her awful coffee, and checked the news on her phone. It was just random stuff. The door opened and Keefe came in.

"Yeesh!" He said " Foster your drinking hospital coffee, is everything okay."

Sophie nodded. Keefe sat down at the same table as her.

" So" she said " What's going on with you?"

Keefe shrugged.

"How bout you?" He asked.

Sophie sighed.

" Well I broke up with Fitz last night." She said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ears.

" That would explain the hospital coffee." He said, awkwardly staring at the ceiling. She wasn't trying to drag her friends into this, that was a crappy thing to do. They had all been a mutual friend group before her and Fitz had been a couple, and Biana and Dex, and Keefe and Tam, and Linh and Wylie, although Wylie was a grade above Fitz, Keefe, and wasn't necessarily a member of their friend group. They were more her, Fitz, Keefe , Biana, Dex, Linh , Tam, and Marella; Marella had moved to Boston, but the rest of them still lived in San Francisco where they had grown up. Sophie and Keefe had both went into medical workings, Fitz had become a police officer, Dex and Biana had both started their own businesses( Dex fixing and making computers, and Biana had started a bakery ), both of which turned out incredibly well, and the two had recently become the ultimate power couple; Linh had gone into Dentistry and taught ribbon dancing on weekends, Tam on the other hand had decided to become a college professor and quite enjoyed doing so. Marella had moved to Boston to become a councillor at a juvenile detention facility, she still flew over during the holidays so they got to see her then.

Sophie took a final sip of her coffee right as Livvy walked in. She came and took a seat at the same table as her and Keefe.

"Ooo, have you finally adjusted to hospital coffee?" Asked Livvy

Sophie laughed and shook her head.

"I'm pretty sure only you and Elwin can get used to hospital coffee." said Keefe. Sophie laughed again.

" The secret is to add a lot of sugar" said Livvy simply.

"No," said Elwin, coming through the door " the trick is to have weird taste buds." Sophie rolled her eyes at her friends.

"How did you know we were talking about coffee?" Asked Sophie. Elwin shrugged.

" It involved the sentence 'lots of sugar' and I assumed we were talking about coffee." said Elwin.

"Not a enough evidence," argued Keefe " Livvy uses the sentence 'add lots of sugar' more than a doctor should." Livvy shrugged adding a second packet of sugar to her coffee.

Sophie looked at her watch. 8:50. She had to leave.

"Bye guys." she said throwing her coffee cup in the garbage. Twelve hour shift she could do this.

Sophie closed her door and immediately went to the washroom. Today happened to be a particularly bad day, and she was thrown up on… on three separate occasions. She removed her scrubs and quickly showered and got into pyjamas. Then she remembered Biana's texts. She looked at her phone. There was no new ones. Biana had work today too. She should still probably text her back.

Sophie: Why don't you come over and we can watch a movie or something

Biana: k, be there in ten

Sophie sprawled out on her couch. She didn't smell like vomit anymore, that was nice. She stood up and grabbed her the throw blanket that was on her love seat. She closed her eyes momentarily and turned on the television. Some Disney channel cartoon about two kids going through a multitude of impossible adventures came on. The sound got quieter and quieter and her vision went out, leaving the world peaceful and dark.
