Author's Note: This contains a bit of a Holby City crossover.
Chapter 6
Pushing open the doors she spotted Sandy, Liam, Danny and Lisa sat together. Lisa waved to her and beckoned her to come and sit with them. As she sat down Lara surveyed the surrounding people; Sam was sat with Ric Griffin and Alex was sat as far away as possible from them trying to chat up a young redheaded nurse. The hurt was clearly written over Sam's face as she turned away from him. Even though Lara was not best of friends with Sam, in fact she hardly ever talked to her, in that fleeting moment, Lara sympathised with Sam immensely. Sighing she turned and began to concentrate on the conversation the other four were sharing.
"So…" she eventually asked Lisa, "You and Steve?" Lisa just smiled.
"Getting there." Lara smiled mischievously back. The other three had changed the subject to Alex and were commenting on him and Sam.
Lisa began to sense that Lara was uncomfortable, for a start she was quieter than normal. "What is it? Is it Patrick?" she asked quietly.
Lara smiled nervously not knowing what exactly to say. "I can never keep stuff from you easily can I. You or Dillon." Lisa shook her head and raised her eyebrows questioningly. "Well his ex, Holly has returned to Holby. Working in paeds." Lisa knew exactly where the conversation was going.
"You're scared of losing him to her aren't you?" Their eyes met and Lara just nodded slightly. The others still hadn't noticed that they weren't participating in the conversation until they changed topic again. Lisa and Lara immediately joined in throwing sarcastic comments back and forth.
A few minutes later Lara's bleeper went off and she told them she had to be getting back but she'd come and find Lisa later. Lisa nodded and they went back to their conversation.
Alex looked up and saw Lara getting up to leave. He conveniently timed his exit so that he would leave a few seconds after Lara had.
Liam, Sandy, Danny and Lisa watched after him curiously through the doors to see what would happen. The other three didn't know that Lara was with Patrick, in fact few people did. But they all knew it wasn't a coincidence that Alex had followed Lara. Lisa just hoped Lara wouldn't do something as drastic as accept Alex's advances because she felt as though she was losing Patrick. She hoped Lara knew what she was doing.
But Lisa should have had more faith in her friend. Lara knew exactly what she was doing…
