Max's POV:
It had been half an hour and luckily Zoe had stopped crying but it has been really hard to keep her out of rhesus.
"Max please just let me see him it's my fault he's ended up in there" she said whilst trying to move me out of the way of the door.
"Zo it's not your fault understand me. As soon as I know you're not blaming yourself I will move away from the door" I said to her and she just kissed me. We were kissing for a few minutes and had moved away from the door. She pulled away and opened the door leaving turning back saying sorry and carrying on walking. I followed her out and grabbed her hand which she just shook off and carried on when we got to rhesus Cal was doing CPR on Nick Jordan. I instantly pulled Zoe into me and hugged her whilst she cried into my chest, I knew she shouldn't be in here but I know there is no way I could get her to leave. We haven't even done any work today.
"Max, this is all my fault. I should of just gone to Michigan with him then this wouldn't of happened" she said to me and by now I was struggling not to cry I hate to see my girl like this.
"Zo please don't blame yourself, you know if you had said you were going to go to Michigan I wouldn't of let you" I said and she just pulled away from me and walked over to Connie. She lifted up Nick's hand and kissed it.
"Come on Nick pull through please" she said and then he was back in sinus rhythm. He was took up to surgery soon after. Zoe was holding his hand and as the porter came past with Nick and Zoe. I went to hold her hand but she just looked at me blankly and pulled away before carrying on going up to surgery with Jordan.
"She's just in shock, it's obvious it's you she wants not Nick bloody Jordan and he knew he could guilt trip her into being with him" Connie said to me and I just nodded before following her and Cal back into the office. All four of us have spent a lot of time in here lately and it's just weird not having Zoe here.
"Do you think he will do it again if Zoe doesn't leave me?" I asked worried.
"Max we wasn't going to tell you this but" Cal said but was interrupted by Connie.
"Cal don't" she said and I was confused.
"Wasn't gonna tell me what? I asked sternly. They looked at each other, Connie with a stern look on her face. "Cal just tell me" I said knowing I would find out sooner or later.
"He didn't jump off of the roof. By the look of his injuries he fell from the first floor above this one. He didn't jump" He told me and he looked sorry.
"I need to see Zoe now" I said walking towards the door.
"Max wait" Connie said and I turned to look at her. "Let me talk to her you know she will listen to me" Connie said and I just nodded before going to start doing some work. I had been working for 25 minutes before I saw Connie come back down but I was disappointed that she was alone. I carried on working for another half an hour before deciding I needed a break and I could tell people realised I wasn't being myself. I took a patient back to Ethan in rhesus before leaving again to walk outside. As I left rhesus I heard Zoe.
"Max, Max wait a minute" she said and then came over to me. She kissed me in front of everyone, I was shocked at first but then I kissed her back she pulled away and looked at me. "I'm so sorry babe I didn't know" she said and I just smiled at her.
"Well at least we don't have to keep it a secret anymore" I said smirking at her. She hadn't realised that everyone was there looking at us.
"Are you two...?" Noel said obviously not knowing what's going on between us.
"Yes Noel me and Max, we're together" Zoe said smiling up at me. We watched all of their shocked expressions before I grabbed her hand and we walked outside to have a fag. We got out there and walked around the corner like we normally do even though we don't have to hide anymore.
"I love you Zo" I said smiling at her.
"I love you too Max" she said back smiling and kissed me. We were kissing for about 5 minutes and it was getting pretty heated so I pulled away. We lit our fags and carried on flirting.
"I wasn't expecting that Zo" I said smiling at her.
"Neither was I, but now we have to deal with the gossip" She said back sighing. I kissed her because I knew she would get herself paranoid about what people would say otherwise. We finished our fags before walking back in. we walked in and all eyes were on us.
"I've gotta transfer a patient with Lofty, see you later babe" I said before kissing her and going the other way.
Zoe's POV:
"So how long has that been going on for?" Tess said coming up to me.
"Just over 3 months" I said smiling.
"Not your normal choice Zoe" Tess said, obviously shocked about me and Max.
"I know but I love him" I said and Tess just smiled at me before leaving. I walked back to my office and walked in on Cal and Connie kissing. "Get a room" I said smirking to them both.
"We had one but then you walked in" Cal said smirking before kissing Connie once more and leaving.
"So everyone knows now?" Connie asked me.
"Yeah" I said sighing.
"At least you don't have to hide anymore" Connie said smiling at me slightly.
"What's up Connie?" I asked her I could tell something was wrong.
"I hate having to hide me and Cal from everyone but he doesn't want anyone to know about us and I don't think I can do it anymore" She told me and I was shocked. Connie Beauchamp isn't like this.
"Connie you need to tell him how you feel about it" I said and she just looked at me before getting back on with her work. I needed to think of a way to help Connie, I could speak to Cal but then I would feel bad for betraying Connie. This is going to be hard, I don't want to see Connie this way.
