Chapter 5
Lara remained with Dillon for a few more minutes before Duffy came to find her telling her that she and Dillon were both needed. Drying her eyes she quickly splashed water on her face before sighing and smiling at Dillon.
She walked to the whiteboard where she was handed a patient's notes, which she quickly glanced over.
"I got the easy one!" She teased him laughing as she read his patient's notes over his shoulder. He laughed shaking his head. At least she seemed to be ok now. She was back into her competitive spirit.
Lara walked to cubicle 4 and began to assess her patient, a 12 year old boy, called Andrew who had fallen and had a piece of glass stuck in his arm. Lara gently injected him with a local anaesthetic and gently removed the glass in one segment. She stitched him up and then he was fine. She walked past the staff room and caught a glance of Holly and Patrick talking. She knew there was something up. She could see in his eyes that he'd known Holly for a long time. She knew deep in her heart that his heart had never truly belonged to her. She was beginning to lose sight of him. Turning she walked towards Dillon seeing if he knew where Colette was. Then the door of the staff room opened and Holly walked out smiling. Lara watched Holly walk past on her way back up to paeds and she scowled slightly. Colette appeared and came to talk to her.
"You ok Lara?" Colette asked.
"Never better," she lied her face telling a different story. "I was actually coming to find you. Tell me, what's the deal with her and Patrick?"
Colette shrugged slightly, "From what I gather they used to be an item in med. School, then she broke up with him and came to work here. He then got the SPR job here and then they worked together for a while until there was an incident and she left to recover in Germany."
"An incident?" she questioned. Colette nodded.
"It's not my business to go further into it," she said. Lara nodded understanding as Colette walked towards Duffy. Lara sighed and then continued to walk down towards reception glancing briefly at Patrick who had just appeared from the staff room.
"Lara!" He called, but she just ignored him and carried on, "Lara!" he tried again with more insistence. To his surprise she stopped and whirled around, her green eyes flashed showing visible her hurt.
"I'm not in the mood for being messed about Patrick." He just watched after her confused as to what had just happened.
"Charlie is it ok if I take my break now?" Lara asked.
"Yeah sure, but if we need you we might have to bleep you yeah?" he replied. She nodded smiling to him before wandering up to the canteen.
