Chapter 2
Hey! This is my second chapter…it is short but it is still an update!!
I checked myself into rehab and let me tell you there are some crazy people in here. We have to wear uniforms and the food sucks.
If it were just me I would pack up my things and leave but I have to get through this for my family.
While I was in rehab Luka came all the way back from Croatia to visit me. Things were awkward between us and I wasn't sure what to say to him and he probably felt the same with me. He gave me pictures of Joe with his family that I kept under my pillow and I would look at them each night before I would go to sleep.
When I looked at Joe and his grandpa I would just wonder what Joe is doing at this exact moment. Is he sleeping? Is he eating? Is he safe? It amazes me when a person can be doing something at this very second like every sixty seconds someone dies from cancer. I mean if you really put your life in perspective it is so mind boggling how everything seems to work. It is hard to think about all the people that come and leave this world everyday and yet we still think the world revolves around us. One little human being.
After rehab I went back to work for a couple of days to get myself together before I went to Croatia. Well at least that's what I thought but it turned into a nightmare.
I called a meeting in the doctors lounge and I told everyone why I was not at work for the past month as I speculated that rumors were going around the hospital but it turns out they all thought I was in Croatia with Luka. I wish I was.
The people I though were my friends ended up turning their backs on me, only Pratt and Neela remained in the room after the meeting to offer support and they told me that if I ever needed anything they would be there for me. I left work that night but not before the rest of the staff gave me dirty looks and whispered behind my back.
They started questioning my work and wouldn't discharge my patients when I told them to. I guess I thought that my friends would stand by me but I guess I would react as they did if It was someone I worked with. That night I left and talked with Neela out in the ambulance bay. She told me how sorry she was for not knowing the truth and that if she had known she would have been there for me and supported me even when my family abandoned me.
