I know its been a while, my laptop has been acting up really bad (viruses and such :/) Sorry for the long wait! Enjoy!

Chapter Fourteen: Time

Christina P.O.V.

After eating breakfast with everyone, Aaron and I left to head to work. Jack and Rose would go out to find jobs today. They felt that they could at least contribute for their stay here. Plus, they could also raise enough money to get their own place.

I'm definately not kicking them out, its their own ideas, which is fine. I wish they could stay forever, a girl can dream right?

"So Christina, what time do you get off tonight?" Aaron asked before he went into the mens locker room to change into his scrubs. I had already changed into mine a few minutes ago.

"7pm why?" I asked casually. I sat on a bench in the hallway as I waited on him to finish dressing. He didn't even answer my question from before. Then five minutes later, Shelby Pryce and her possy had annocced their presence to me and four other nurses by slamming the ladies locker room door.

As usual they were desperate for attention as they strode passed us with a bit too much cleavage showing. I rolled my eyes. They all wore the same colored plain light blue scrubs as me. We had to wear a certain color today because today was the day we would be observing a few surgeries and the Surgeons and Cheif would throw important questions our way.

This was one of the important days we had on our way to becoming OR nurses. We had to know what surgical tools were and how they functioned, as well as knowing about the operation of the patient and what needs to be done. We can't really operate on any one per say, but we can suction out fluids and things of that nature. Pass tools to the doctors and even-only if you've earned your Master's or Bachlers Degree in this-put the patient to sleep using anastheisa.

"Hey ladies," The Head Nurse, Martha, an older lady around her thirtys addressed Shelby and her possy with a small glare. "Put those knockers away. This is a hospital not a strip club."

I looked at Shelby's embarressed face as I smiled in amusment. "Alright, lets head to the surgical areas." She said that as soon as Aaron walked out to greet us with a smiling face. "Ah Mr. Aaron, might you accopany a group of ladies to the Surgical area?" She asked him.

"Why certainly." He beamed at me as he completely ignored Shelby's advances and pulled me toward the front of the group. "Christina, you'll be assisting me today by passing me the tools and such, is that alright?" He asked.

"Cool! I mean, yes sir!" I quickly corrected myself as I fought down the blush hitting my cheeks.

"Great! That way everyone else can observe you and the surgery. You'll need to be observing everything as well." Aaron smiled as he led the way with me right beside him. I could feel Shelby's priecing gaze penetrating bullets in my head.

Oh joy.

Jack P.O.V.

Rose and I were walking around the park eating icecream cones. She had chocolate while I had vanilla. It sure tasted really good. We had applied for a few jobs earlier. Its actually been a couple hours since Christina and Aaron have gone to work.

"Hey you two, how are you?" We looked to our left to see Brandon, Christina's older brother on his red bike.

"Good to see you Brandon, we are doing pretty good, how about yourself?" Rose replied.

"Same here, just work and whatnot." Brandon replied as he parked his bike and chained it to a tree. He joined us walking only a few steps.

After finishing my icecream cone, and throwing the napkin I used away, I said, "Rose and I applied for jobs today. You know things we could actually do. I applied for a few drawing jobs and even drew a sketch before hand for each one. I figured showing proof of my work might help me land the job a bit faster."

"Cool, I'm sure they are all going to call you tomorrow!" Brandon smiled. He looked at Rose next, who had just finished her ice cream cone too. "And you Rose?"

"Oh yes, um I applied for a few waitress positions, even at that one place Christina took us to to eat out. I think it was called Chilis? After all, its the closest one to the apartment." She replied.

"That'll be good for you. Soon, you'll have your own money and can buy your own things. But things are a bit more expensive then they were back then. For example, whenever you get a car, gas was around less than a dollar, but now it's nearly four dollars in this time period." Brandon explained to us as our faces fell in shock.

"Wow, that is definately an increase!" Rose exclaimed. We talked about various things and laughed throughout the rest of the day. He told us about how cars worked, the several different brands and the countries that offerred them. He even gave us a map marked with some of the best places for couples to visit in this area. Brandon said his "Goodbyes." As he waved to us, we waved back.

"Hey Jack, lets get back home, maybe someone called about our jobs." Rose said as we headed back home.

"Yeah, good idea." I replied. I link her hand in mine as we strolled back to our home. Little did we know we were being watched.
