Once again thanks for your amazing reviews! :) Glad you're enjoying!
Part 7
Hours had past. AAU was almost cleared of the crash victims. Normality had been restored. Or the closest AAU could be to normality.
Their paths had barely crossed apart from the odd awkward meeting at the nurses station whilst grabbing notes or making calls. Eddi sticking with Sacha and his patients, Chrissie sticking to Lucs. Sachas idea.
She was determined to stay professional, causing Luc to feel uneasy, unusually. He was the care free laid back one. Not her.
Chrissie and Sacha also on edge, waiting for Eddi to explode in rage. She wasn't going to give them, him, the satisfaction.
She made her way to the locker room to change, a projectile vomiting patient was never easy to escape from. The cool dark room giving her a breather. Relief.
Her moment was ruined when the door shot open. Luc having also fell victim to vomit.
"Eurgh...Bloody patients, always aim for me I.." Head down dabbing at his shirt. He paused when he saw her.
"Sorry.." In his head this word meaning for everything. "..Didn't mean to interrupt"
She knew by his eyes exactly what he meant.
He removed his shirt, disregarding it into a bag.
An awkward silence filled the room. Eddi stood at her locker.
"Do you mind?" She began "I kind of need to.." Hinting about changing.
"Look Eddi...We need to talk.."
"Don't Luc, Just don't" removing the top of her scrubs, this action throwing his thoughts. He'd missed her.
"You said all you wanted to when you left. Not a word. I think that sums up the situation..." His head fell down in shame.
"..and im not angry you left Luc. I've done that stage. I'm not sad any more, not confused, because y'know what, I just figured out that's you. One big question mark and frankly you did me a favour. I understand now you're just a quirky traveller who does his own thing regardless of any one else"
"Thats not.." He was cut off once more.
"..and believe it or not Luc, I'm fine" Nodding to herself as if she needed convincing. "I'm ok with who you are. I've accepted it. Better off ditching me sooner rather than later, right? But now, y'know, there is just one thing that annoys me Luc..."
He was devastated, it was all true. He knew it was coming next.
"..I'm just annoyed you came back" she uttered the words softly, gliding past him making for the door.
He grabbed her arm. "Eddi, please" he whispered.
"No Luc" Fighting him for her arm "Lets just get on with what we're here to do" She said eyes glued to the floor.
His hands still firmly holding her arms.
"Don't you want to know why I left?" Nothing he said now was going to make it any better. No harm in trying though. He missed her banter, her whit. She could have screamed at him and he would have been happy.
"Just let me go Luc" Her words having dual meaning. "Its the least I deserve" Looking up she met his eyes, hoping he'd grant her wish.
His hold reluctantly loosened, eventually dropping his arms down to his side, after giving her request some thought. Once again she was correct. Annoyingly.
A defeating sigh escaping him as she slipped through the door, leaving him alone. A taste of his own medicine.
Looking forward to your thoughts! :D Apologises if you feel its slow burner of a fic. Just something to keep me occupied for a while!
Also I went with a calm reconciliation, just something I thought would be a bit different, hopefully realistic. Hope you enjoyed it :)
