Unknown Secrets
Carter was driving the rental car while Susan sat in the passenger seat staring out to the middle of nowhere. They had left early from the house to pick the car up and go to breakfast. Now they were driving to the hospital that Susan used to work at.
"Susan are you OK" Carter said as he try to make conversation
"Hmm, just nervous" Susan said as she looked at Carter
"You shouldn't be nervous" Carter said as he grabbed her hand in put it in to his.
"Easy for you to say John, you didn't work with them. I left there to go back to Chicago because of my sister life and other things" Susan said
"Well you better be ready for this, because we are here" Carter said as he pull into Desert View Hospital parking lot. Carter followed Susan after they got out of the car, when they enter the ER, Carter was amazed to see how quiet it was; then everyone looked up and saw Susan.
"Susan is that really you" said a doctor as she came up to Susan and gave her a hug
"Yea, how you doing Kate" Susan said
"I'm great, so what are you doing here" Kate asked
"I came to visit my sister, so then I decide to stop by and say hello" Susan said
"Great; so who is this" Kate
"This is Dr. John Carter" Susan said, even though she knew she should have said that he was her boyfriend
"Nice to meet you Dr. Carter" Kate said as she shook hands with Carter
"Same here" Carter said
"Well Susan why don't we go get you caught up with everyone" Kate said she pull Susan into the lounge. Leaving Carter standing all by himself.
"Hmm, Kate I should go get Carter before he gets himself in trouble" Susan said after they got in the lounged.
"Ok Susan go get him, then we will finish talking to everyone" Kate said. Susan nodded and walked out to find Carte surrounded by five different nurses.
"OK; break it up everyone he is mine" Susan said. The nurses moved away from Carter and gave Susan dirty looks.
"I was having fun" Carter said with a smile
"John Carter, I swear if you say anything else you will be on the couch the rest of the trip" Susan said
"OK, I'll be good" Carter said as he lean down and kiss Susan
"Nice try, but it is going to take more than that to make it up to me" Susan said. Carter stared at her then followed her into the lounged. While in the lounged Carter got to meet a lot of Susan friends? There was James who was a doctor with a wife and two kids. Shawn was the Chief Resident. Then there was Sarah who was one of the nurses flirting with Carter but apologize to Susan afterwards. There was Isabella who was Susan best friend and a fine doctor, she came from Mexico but didn't plan on going back anytime soon. There was Grace who was a nurse that was trying to become a doctor. There was Nate and Dawn who were dating. Nate was Chief of Staff while Dawn was just a doctor. They had started dating after Susan left.
"So Susan why did you bring Carter with you" Dawn asked as she leaned against Nate.
"Well you see he is my boyfriend" Susan said with hesitation. They just stared at Carter.
"Well; let me say that I'm happy for you Susan" Sarah said.
"So Carter would you like to go get a coffee with me" Shawn offered.
"Sure, Susan do you want anything" Carter asked. Susan shook her head no.
"OK" Carter said as he gave Susan a quick kiss and followed Shawn out of the lounge. Carter followed Shawn to the elevator and then to the cafeteria to get the coffee. After they brought their coffee and sat down Shawn started talking to Carter.
"So how long have you been dating Susan" Shawn asked
"We started dating before Christmas, but I've known her before she moved here" Carter said.
"Well it is nice to see her happy after what happen with Chris" Shawn said
"Who is Chris" Carter questioned
"Susan didn't tell you the story" Shawn asked. Carte shook his head no.
"OK, you see Chris was Susan ex-fiancee they were all set on marrying then one day Chris was caught making out with one of the nurse and Susan broke it off. After that Chris starting making up rumors about her. He finally got so angry that he almost hit her, that is why he left" Shawn said. Carter just look at him is disbelief.
"Does he still work here" Carter asked. Shawn shook his head yes. With that Carter got up from the table and headed back to the elevator.
Meanwhile: Susan is in the lounge talking to everyone when Chris walks in and sees Susan
"Susan" Chris said as he walked up to Susan. Susan turned around and came face to face with Chris
"What do you... " Susan sentence was cut off by Chris kissing her. Susan was trying to push him away but was having no luck.
"Get the hell off her" Carter said as he pulled Chris away from Susan
"Who in the hell are you" Chris said as he stared at Carter? Susan walked over to Carter and kissed him hard. She broke the kiss then looked to Chris
"This is my boyfriend" Susan said to Chris. Chris just stared at Carter. It was at this time that he lost his temper. Chris put his hand into a fist and hit Carter across the face. Carter was sent to the floor by the punch. It was Susan turn to get mad and she took just one hit across Chris face and sent him to the floor.
"Get Chris out of here" Susan said to Shawn who came in. She then got on her knees and check on Carter
"John can you hear me" Susan said as she checks for any major damage to his face. He jerked at the touch of her hand on his face
"Are you OK" Susan asked
"Yea, my jaw hurts a little but I'll be fine" Carter said as Susan helped him stand up.
"Let me guess that is your ex-fiancee" Carter said to Susan as after he was standing up
"Hmm, yea" Susan said.
That is it for now. I'll write another chapter tomorrow.
