Chapter 4

Alec's POV

"Is that my file?" he asked looking at Tessa and Magnus in slight shock. The two of them were stunned into silence, "are you going to answer me?" He asked standing up from his spot trying to get a closer look at the file in his doctor's hand.

"Alexander I believe it is within my right to know any back ground information I wish to know." Magnus said with an air of finality and disregard. Alec flinched at his full name and looked up at Magnus removing the hurt he was feeling from his gaze.

"Is that so?" He said.

Magnus rolled his eyes at him and moved to the coffee pot starting to prepare two cups for Tessa and himself. "Of course it is and since you haven't told me I'm finding out for myself. Why are you in the staffroom Alexander?"

Alec shut his eyes for a moment to calm down and when he opened them he felt anger bubbling in his chest. "I'm here because I was looking for you. I was waiting in the library but you're twenty minutes late." He smirked at the suddenly guilty look Magnus was giving him, "I don't know what you expect of me," he continued, "maybe you're waiting for me to trash the staffroom because that's what crazies do isn't it? But you've been my doctor for over a week and even that's enough time to realise that's not true." Tessa reached out her hand to try and place it on his shoulder but he flinched away from the gesture and instead made his way to the door opening it again and looking back only once to say one last thing to Magnus, "and maybe when you read my file you could tell me what's in it. I'm just as curious as the rest of you."


Tessa's POV

She couldn't believe what had just happened. Flinging herself round she stalked over to Magnus jabbing her finger into his chest. "What did you do that for?!" She asked angrily, "Are you intent on ruining your relationship with him?" she said eyeing him with a glare.

"Relationship?" Magnus asked quickly, "we're not in a relationship."

"I meant doctor patient relationship…" she said trailing off looking at the uncomfortable man before her, "what am I missing?"

"Nothing," he said quickly, "I just didn't want you to get the wrong idea."

"Magnus…." She said slowly, "what's going on between you and Alexander?"

"Nothing Tessa, what would even make you say that?" He said blushing slightly which she hadn't known him do yet.

"Maybe the fact that I asked a common question and your mind subconsciously read it wrong meaning that the question you thought I asked had more truth and relevance to your situation. Really, it's only the basics." She stated with a smirk.

"When you put it like that… It's hard to believe you're a doctor and not a patient here." He laughed slightly trying to avoid the question but she saw through him immediately.

"You like Alec." She smiled.

"That's completely stupid darling. He's not my type."

"sure…" she muttered smirking at her friend, "But you better go apologise to him or I'm going to tell Isabelle."

"I'm not scared of his sister" Magnus said laughing at her raising one of his hands to inspect the polish that had chipped off slightly.

She sighed acting like she truly couldn't care less, "It's your own funeral."

"Fine," he muttered, "I'll talk to him but why he has to lie to me about his life is something he should apologise for."

"Who says he's lying?" Tessa asked adding cream and sugar to her coffee, "He wants to know what's in his file like we do, maybe we should be working with him rather than against him."

"He's my patient Tess." His voice held stubbornness and she knew that he just didn't want to admit defeat, "I think he's holding back something.

She shook her head exasperatedly, "You're unbelievable. He's never going to like you if you act like that."

"He's my patient; He can't like me, period." He said opening the door, "where's his room?"

"West wing, same room as Jem," She noticed the look on her friend's face, "James Carstairs" she said in answer to his unasked question but he still held look on his face and she blushed taking a sip of her coffee trying to hide her face, "What? He likes to be called that."

"I bet he does." Magnus said with a smirk causing her to splutter and push him out of the room,

"Room 38 pervert, Oh and Magnus?" she asked catching his attention before he disappeared down the hallway.

"What?" He said still smirking at her flustered self.

"'So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.' It's a quote from a book I read," she said smiling.

"And why would I need to know that?" he asked raising a perfect eyebrow.

"Just a feeling, it might come in handy." She winked and closed the staffroom door leaning back in a comfortable chair.


Sorry, I've had school all week. Is this chapter any good? Review please and tell me what you want to see, what you love and what you hate, whether it's any good etc. I have loads of plans now so that's also why it's taken a week because I just need to wrap my head around exactly where I want to go with this and how to give the best possible version to you guys. Next chapter will be up whenever I write it which I'll try to make today or soon and you'll meet Alec's room mates. That's basically it.

Until next time my beautiful readers, adios.
