The New Intern (Part 2)

Mekta Suriss (Narrator) – The night was cold and bitter as snow fell from the sky blanketing the city in white... I saw Reeve leaving the hospital after his shift ended and I decided to follow him... the cold night air nipped at my nose and ears sending makeing me shiver winter had come early this year but now the holidays where just around the corner. I followed Reeve for about an hour, I had been watching him and following him enough to know by now that lately he has not been going home after work but I would always lose sight of him before I could find where he has been going lately after work but not tonight... tonight I was going to figure just where he has been going. After about another 20 minutes we entered an park located in the center of the city a park i knew all to well from my childhood. I continued to follw him to fountain located in the park but then he suddenly stopped as he shouted as he said to me without turning his head...

Reeve - How many more nights do you plan on following me... if there's something you want from me then stop just following and talk to me.

Mekta - I'm sorry I was not trying to stalk you it's just...

Reeve - just what? I know you've been watching me ever since you transfered to the hospital... why?

(Reeve reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ciggerette, lights it and begins smokeing it as he waits for Mekta to answer him still not turning to face Mekta)

Mekta - I... I... I have be... I have been watching you because I think you are... I think you are an amazing, beautiful person and...

Reeve - before you continue I suggest you be sure of what it is you are saying, beautiful is not the word I would use to descripe a person like me...

Mekta - what do you mean like you?

Reeve - lets just say I've gone through things... and some doors once opened just simply cannot be closed... and some wounds just never heal no matter how much time passes or how much you try to get over the pain... I'm sorry I'm not the kind person you should wanna be with.

Mekta begins to walk towards Reeve slowily placeing warping one of his arms around Reeve's shoulder as he whispers into Reeve's ear softly saying)

Mekta - Why dont you let me be the judge of that?

(Reeve closes his eyes for a moment savioring the feelin of Mekta's arm around him before slowly walking forward out of Mekta's warm embrace and saying to him quietly turning slightly to face Mekta)

Reeve - I'm sorry... But I can't... that part of me died along time ago... I am gonna go now, I'll see you tomarow at work.

(and with that said Reeve turns around walks past Mekta and begins to walk away leaving Mekta standing there alone to think about Reeve's words.)
