So I know I've been horrible and left you on a cliff hanger, but I think it was obvious I wouldn't let much happen to our Zoe!
'Zoe!' Cried Tess as she opened the curtains, 'Can I get some help in here please!'
Connie, Rita, Robyn and Cal all came running in.
'Oh my, okay Lofty can we get a trolley over here, and then might want to find Max, keep out of resus though!' Ordered Connie
'Zoe, Zoe can you hear me?' Tess' voice was serious and ever so professional.
In Resus, Zoe lay on the bed with a neck brace, she was still unconscious and was under close monitoring.
'She's starting to come round' Robyn announced.
'Okay Zoe you need stay extremely still and we are going to be sending you up to CT soon' Connie surprisingly sounded concered.
'What happened,' Asked Zoe, trying to raise her head, 'ow!' She cried
Zoe was hardly one to admit she was in need of help or was hurt, this made it obvious something wasn't right.
'It's okay Zoe,' Tess had now changed roles of nurse to friend, and her comforting instincts had kicked in.
Connie and Cal had left to chase up the CT, Rita had gone to find a different porter and Robyn was now seeing to a patient in the opposite bed. Leaving Zoe and Tess to talk.
'Where's Max?'
'It's okay he's with Lofty, Do you want me to get him?' Asked Tess
'I need him, but he can't see me like this,' Sobbed Zoe
'Aw Zoe, he loves you, he won't care what you look like'
'Tess, just go tell him I'm okay, and get my makeup out of my locker, he is not seeing me like this!'
'Zoe, your going to need a CT, your only just stable, I'll explain it to Max, but no makeup, we'll get you up to CT, and then we are having a talk! Okay?'
'Fine!'
Tess left to find and Max and explain what had happened. Meanwhile Robyn made her way over to Zoe.
'Max loves you! He never stops talking about you, and right now I'm fairly sure all he cares about is you being okay not what you look like.'
'Robyn..'
'Zoe...'
'The thing is he will..'
'Zoe, I know what he's like, he'll be sat in there listening to Tess but not believing any of it, he'll be worrying constantly until he sees you for himself'
'I know, and well,' Zoe broke down, a tear streamed down her face,' oh god, I didn't want to admit but I need to see him, like literally NEED to see him.'
Robyn smiled, 'I'll go get him.'
