Thank you so much for all the follows favourites and reviews! Heres chapter 10! Quite a long one:-)
Reluctantly Zoe followed him to his office and sat down,
'Please explain Zo, you can trust me can't you?' She slowly nodded her head and knew she had no choice but to finally tell him, this was the moment she wishes she had told him sooner.
'Well, about a year ago before we were properly together I went to the pub, I'd had a stressful day at work and needed to clear my head, you wasn't in the greatest of moods and it had upset me,' She sighed looking up to him before continuing,
'Johnny came over to me and we got talking before we got a taxi home together,'
'He didn't... Did he?' Nick asked jumping to conclusions, she quickly shook her head and carried on once more.
'He came into my house and we slept together, the next morning I realised that I truly loved you and hated myself for what I had done, he gave me his number and told me to call him but I couldn't I love you Nick!' She looked up again to see what his expression was but she was surprised that it was just blank,
'Are you sure it was just one night?' He asked looking concerned,
'Yes I'm sure, he texted me every week for a few months but when he realised I wasn't going to reply he finally gave up, I was glad, I wish I could go back to that day and have just gone home,' He smiled at her,
'You're not angry?' He shook his head,
'No Zo it was probably my fault anyway if I wasn't having a good day I probably snapped I know I'm not the nicest person in the world when things aren't going my way, you were just clearing your head, if it was just one night and you haven't seen him or heard from him since?'
'No,' She smiled at him,
'I love you so much Nick Jordan and I didn't want to lose you!' His smile grew bigger,
'I love you too Zoe Hanna, so shall we go back to your patient,' He stood up and although she had told Nick the truth he was still worried how Johnny would react with her.
They walked through the doors into resus and over to Johnny,
'Hey babe, where did you disappear to?' Zoe quickly addressed the situation,
'I don't think this is appropriate I am your doctor and you are my patient now stop it,' She said to him as quietly as she could, he looked sad,
'Babe, you were meant to meet me last week,' She looked confused before looking over to Nick he looked at her and gave her the eye to say, you didn't tell me that part,
'What are you talking about? I haven't seen in a year!' Zoe tried to keep calm,
'No! I texted you saying to meet you last week!' Zoe looked down recalling the text she had received but had totally forgot about this, she was so busy with work but even if she had remembered there was no way she would have met him, she was with Nick now.
Nick looked at her and stormed out he could tell what Johnny was saying was true by Zoe's response, Zoe knew she had to go after him, she looked at Johnny and followed Nick to his office, before she entered he slammed the door in her face, obviously he wanted to be alone but she needed to explain, so keyed in the code and opened the door.
'Nick just let me explain,' She looked at him waiting for a reply,
'You lied to me!' He shouted,
'Honestly Nick I totally forgot everything that's happened, but I wouldn't have met him anyway, please believe me,' Nick looked up and charged out of the office leaving Zoe to think about what she had done, she walked out and shut the door making her way to the staff room.
She sat down and let the tears fall, she loved him so much and would do anything to go back and change that night, she'd split up from him before and it broke her heart so was over the moon when they got back together and now she was having his baby she really didn't want to lose him, but if she did it would have been her fault.
She tried to control her emotions and tears, she didn't want anyone seeing her like that but she couldn't, it just got worse. She could feel her heartbeat getting faster and was breathing quicker, she knew what was happening but didn't shout for help. Hoping it would go away soon she was annoyed when Jay walked into the staff room finding her breathing heavily and with her make up down her face,
'Dr Hanna?' He rushed over to her looking concerned,
'Are you ok?' He could tell she was having a panic attack, she was really pale and something had obviously upset her,
'Breath slowly, ok, do you want me do get Mr Jordan?' He asked her calmly ready to go find him for the second time this week, unexpectedly she shook her head although Jay was confused he respected her decision,
'Ok, you ok now?' Her breathing was returning to normal and heartbeat slowing down to a more normal speed,
'Thank... You... Jay... I'll be... fine,' Zoe said to him between breaths,
'You sure?' She nodded and he walked across the staff room turning around again to make sure she was ok before leaving, although Zoe didn't want Nick he needed to know he thought so went to find him, it didn't take long as he saw him walk across the ED.
'Mr Jordan! He shouted but not too loudly because he didn't want to grab others attention, he turned around and looked at Jay.
'What can I do for you Staff Nurse Faldren?' Jay wasn't certain that he was doing the right decision but couldn't back out now,
'Umm Dr Hanna didn't want you to know but I thought you should know since you are you know,' Nick sighed he probably should have believed her story but still wasn't sure if she was being honest by saying she had only seen him that one night and hadn't had contact since, especially with what Johnny Peters had said, after thinking for a while he replied to Jay,
'Yes, what's wrong?'
'I just found her in the staff room, very upset and having a panic attack, do you know why?'
'Oh right thanks Jay ill go see her,' Ignoring Jays question.
'I don't think that's a good idea she wants some time on her own,' He attempted to tell Nick but realised he had been left speaking to himself as he saw Nick walk over to the staff room. Next time he saw Dr Hanna he probably wouldn't be in her good books...
