Hey Everyone! Sorry it took me so long to post! This chapter is kind of
short and I think that you'll like what I did! I made a few changes like
ya'll said to and I don't make Hawkeye seem so mean anymore! Don't worry
you'll find out what is around with her soon enough! It's really sad what I
have in mind! Kat is sort of looser in this chapter and I think that it's
better. Oh and just to let everyone know, even though my pen name is
Kathryn Randle that's not my real name so Kat doesn't resemble me!
Personally I don't like when people do that! Well enjoy! Please review!
Chapter 3
After mindlessly wandering around camp for a few minutes I found my way to the mess tent. Some of the doctors and enlisted men were already there eating something that resembled toast and eggs. I took the easy way out and just got a cup of coffee. I looked around for a place to sit and saw Hawkeye waving for me to sit with him. I sighed and made my way over to the table where he was sitting.
"What you don't want to experience our wonderful cuisine?" He said noticing that I didn't have any food, "These powder eggs aren't that bad."
I just smiled at him and continued sipping my coffee. Now that I wasn't full of rage toward Captain Pierce, I was noticing how much I liked him. He had a charismatic charm about him that I couldn't help admire and he wasn't to hard on the eyes either. I just shook my head reminding myself that I would never get emotionally involved with someone I work with.
"I believe this is yours," He said, handing me a picture of my father, "I forgot to give it to you yesterday. Beej was holding onto it but I gave you the other one."
"Where did you get this?" I asked, instantly remembering that they had got it from my room.
"It fell out of Nurse Lyons pocket and I picked it up for you." He said smelling the food of his fork before putting it into his mouth.
"Wait," I said curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"What do you mean," He said confused, "I just told you I picked it up when Lyons dropped it."
"You mean you didn't take it from my room?" I asked regretting making the assumption that he had ruined my room.
"Of course not," he said compassionately, "I know how important pictures are to a person, especially in this hell hole."
I was about to say something but then I thought of something different to say.
"Just how did you and Hunnicut ruin my room?" I asked wondering if they hadn't even done anything.
"We just put a few rocks in your bed that's all." He said shoveling some more eggs into his mouth, "I was wondering why you were so upset."
Then out of the corner of my eye I saw two nurses smirking at me and laughing. Then it all came together. BJ and Hawkeye hadn't wrecked my room. It had been the nurses. They must have been jealous of my relationship with Margaret and retaliated.
"One moment." I told Hawkeye as I calmly walked over to the nurses. "I just like to thank you for making my first day here so pleasant and enjoyable. Knowing how out of place I felt and how nervous I being in a new place, you girls really helped me out by being so warm and friendly. I just know that this is the beginning of a wonderful friendship."
I watched as their smirks were replaced with looks of guilt and regret as I smiled sweetly and turned to walk away.
"What was that all about?" Hawkeye asked as he joined me in the middle of the mess tent.
"Oh nothing," I told him coolly, "Just expressing my extreme gratitude toward those wonderful people."
He just smiled and followed me out of the tent.
"Look," I said turning to him, "I'm sorry about last night. I overreacted. I shouldn't have blown up at you like that. I just thought that you did something you didn't."
"What do you mean Kat," He asked confused, "What did I do or what did you think I did?"
"It's nothing," I told him, "Can we please just forget it ever happened?"
"Whatever you say," He said, "Although it's going to be hard."
I smiled at him as we continued on to Post-Op. I spent practically the whole day with Hawkeye and he told me about his father and life in Crabapple Cove and I told him about my father and why I was here. He seemed to be surprised that I had voulenteered to come rather than being drafted but he understood that it was something I had to do. I wish I could've told him the whole story but it wasn't exactly something that I could just openly share. Hell, my sister didn't even know let alone someone I just met.
"Attention all personnel," the voice on the speaker blasted, "The movie tonight will be Casablanca…again."
I could here the disappointed sighs of people all over the camp but I couldn't help but smile. I loved Casablanca and had only seen it twice so I had no trouble in seeing it again.
"What do you say Kathryn," Hawkeye said to me, "You feel like going?"
"Of course I do," I replied, "Would I give up a chance to watch Humphrey Bogart? I think not."
"Alright then," He said, "Until then Kat, I'll see you there."
I smiled as I thought to myself, 'This'll be a start of a beautiful friendship.'
I hurried back to my tent but ran into Radar on the way there.
"Sorry ma'am," He said in his innocent voice, "I didn't see you there."
"It's fine Radar," I told him. He was looking at me rather strangely and I was getting a little uncomfortable, "A simple mistake."
I walked on but looked behind me only to find Radar staring back at me. I smiled at the thought of the boy having a crush on me but the thought vanished since that wasn't exactly possible since I had only talked to him once or twice.
I brushed my hair out nicely and let it down and hang over my shoulders. I didn't exactly know why I was getting dressed up to go see Hawkeye. He had seen me tired, sweaty, and dirty all day long and how I looked wasn't going to make a difference. I redid my make-up in hopes that it would improve my appearance. It did but not by much I still looked tired and worn but I knew that look would be erased as soon as I saw him since he could always make me smile. It was different with Hawkeye. I mean usually I fall madly in love with any man who even gives me a second glance but in this case I had no desire to throw myself at him or anything. It was so natural and I knew that nothing could change that.
When I was finished dressing myself and looking at least presentable I headed over to Hawkeye's tent. I could hear him talking inside and decided I'd listen a while before knocking.
"I'm telling you Beej," I heard Hawkeyes voice say, "She's not like the other nurses. She charming and funny and god is beautiful. I didn't think I could like her so much after one day."
"What are you talking about Hawk," BJ said, "You like a lot of girl after one day."
"Yeah but not this much," He replied, "I think I could really like this one a lot. Not just for a few days, like for the rest of my life."
"I'm sure Hawkeye," BJ said, "I've heard that before and they all end up in heartache."
I just stood in silence outside the door. I should've known this would happen. It knew I shouldn't have gotten to close to him. I told him not to fall in love with me and he did. He promised he wouldn't, he promised. I didn't want to hear anymore. I turned to run away but it was to late.
"Hey gorgeous," I heard a voice say, "I'm ready to go."
I saw Hawkeye dressed in his blue Hawaiian shirt wearing a huge grin on his face.
"Oh," I said quietly, "great. Me too."
We walked in silence to where the movie was being shown and I knew that nothing would ever be the same.
