After the shift had finished Rita went into the locker room to get changed she left the locker room the same time Connie left her office, Connie saw Rita and waited for her to catch up with her
"well hello there gorgeous" Rita chuckled grabbing Connie's hand
Connie held Rita's hand tight, everyone was staring at them as they walked out hand in hand, they were all still in shock over today's events, they walked out and got into separate cars and made their way to their own homes, Rita was going to stay at Connie's so she had to get some clothes for tomorrow, Rita grabbed some stuff and jumped back into the car and checked her phone before she drove off, Connie had text her 'jumping in the shower baby, I'll leave the door on the latch just let yourself in when you get here, come join me If you want? I love you, C X'
'oh can I now? Well I'm just leaving mine baby so I'll be in your shower before you know it, I love you R X'
When Rita got to Connie's she let herself in dumped her stuff on the floor and made her way to the bathroom, she opened the door to see Connie lying on the floor in the shower unconscious, with blood all over the bottom of the bath, as soon as Rita saw the blood she rang for an ambulance, she covered Connie in towel and held her until the ambulance came, it was Dixie and Ian, Ian got to work on Connie and Dixie just held Rita who was unable to stop crying.
Connie came round in the ambulance, Dixie sat her up so Rita could get her respectable, "don't cry baby I'll be fine, tough as old boots me" Connie said with a chuckle
"it's all my fault" Rita sad through the tears
"no its not baby how can it possibly be your fault, you weren't there its be being clumsy, you know what I'm like"
"but if I had been there then I could have stopped it, I should have just listen to you and got up earlier and gone back to mine in the morning"
"what's done is done nothing we can do about it now, aye aye stop crying, I know I look awful but not that bad surly"
They both laughed and it lifted the mood, the pulled up outside the hospital and wheeled Connie in
"this is Connie Beauchamp, 41, fell whilst in the shower, unconscious at the scene regained consciousness in the ambulance sats and BP are normal blood pressure raised"
"thank-you Dixie"
"it's my job Mrs B, it's what I do, I'm going to leave you in the capable hands of zo, ill check on you later, I take it you aint going anywhere so I'll see you later littlen"
"thank you Dix, I'll see you later."
