Joseph's POV
I see her sat down next to her newly reunited family, she has that stone look on her face, not letting any emotion through yet, wouldn't be long I hoped..
She always has hide behind a mask, I was fortunate if you call it that to see this mask slip when we were together, a much more affectionate side you wouldn't match Jac with if you only met her now, I thought we would last, I was head over heels secretly all those years ago, I can't have a go at her as much as I would like to about hiding things, because sometimes I am the same, like now for example, I would love to sweep her off her feet in the middle of the ward and kiss her, and judging by my face no one would ever tell what I was thinking,
I may be crazy , with all the heartbreak she caused me , the betrayl, but somehow I moved past it, over the past year, I do not tend to remember all of the bad things, but the good things, but again, no one would acknowledge that.
This past year Iv'e seen cracks of the old her, she is less concentrated on her career now, she talks to the patients more, I caught her in the bar once with the staff, and I catch her looking at me sometimes, but I don't let on that I know, I see the hurt in her eyes,and I do believe she is sorry, and she regrets it, but when she is cold to everyone then I get glimmers of who she still is today.
I'm sitting at the desk typing on the computer , slyly glancing over at her and her family, I can tell she's crumbling, her bottem lip quivers and she pats her mums hand and rushes off, straightening up, she retreats to the locker room.
I casually follow her, I pause and wonder whether she deserves comfort or not but I decide the past is the past and I carry on walking.
I knock on the door, and with no answer I proceed in, she's standing by her locker, her head resting on the side.
"Why does this have to happen to me today...?" and she slams her fist against the open locker door.
She slids down the doors and lands in a heap on the floor, hands and heads on her knees. I crouch down and casually put an arm around her, and she rests her head on my shoulder, and we just sit.
