PAST NURSE ROXY POV:
I wobbled out of my office to the nearest bathroom. It was all spinning. My head burned. So did my throat. I leaned over the sink and threw up. I had I problem. I needed to stop drinking. But, it was my escape. It was my escape from the horrid truth. I looked up from the sink, now filled with my horrid red discharge, into the mirrored dark eyes I hated so damn much. My dark, pitiful eyes were looking at me as if they were disappointed at what the drinking had made me into.
I needed to stop drinking but, damn, I always end up passed out with a bottle of vodka in my hands. My head hurt. Why did I always do this to myself? I didn't know. I just black out for hours and wake up hating every single thing in the world. I'm surprised nobody noticed the drinking problem at my work before. I looked down and splashed my face with water a few times and straightened my back. It's time to head to work.
While walking down the hall I ran into my daughter. Yes, we worked together. She hated me though. This job sucked but I wanted to get out and be friends with my daughter. She probably hated me for my drinking. I didn't know, she never talked to me. She looked at me with her dark purple eyes and fixed her headband. She cleared her throat and sighed, looking at my shirt that was covered in booze stains.
She shook her head and turned around to walk away. I'm a disappointment. My daughter hates me. I sighed, turning to go my own way. I was a single parent and I hated my life. It was horrid. I was a complete mess. I wanted to escape life like Sollux had done, to slip away from life on my own terms.
It's not like anyone would care. It's not like anyone would notice. My beautiful little girl that I had made hated me. She had held back my hair while I threw up so many times. She had seen how it changed me. I had started drinking when my husband died. I was a lonely widow and needed to find a way to get over such a great loss. Then, I stopped off at a bar. I thought I should just stop by and flirt a bit to get him off my mind.
Rose had helped though the rough patches but once she hit 18 she flew off far away to go to collage somewhere better then our lazy hometown. She landed a job as a nurse at this facility and so I joined the work force as well. She had some friends here before I came along. She seemed to get along with Jade very well. Jade was the manager of the therapydic animals and the big slobbery dog, Bec, who helped the nurses find patients who are lost.
((NOW WHAT YOU ALLL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOORR *DRUMROLL*))
MODERN ARADIA POV:
I stumbled through the long narrow dorm hallway. It was dark. I didn't want to take anymore tests. I just wanted to help Sollux. What had happened? How did I forget him? The room was spinning. I knew I had seen him before! How could I forget? I stumbled to the floor. Cold, wet, tears started streaming down my hot red face. He killed himself because of me and I didn't even notice him. I don't remember seeing him. Did we go to school together? My head felt black and clouded. I closed my eyes as my face was cooled my web blobs streaming down my cheeks. I'm so sorry, Sollux.
I looked up to see a nurse looking down at me, a hand holding a case and another on her hip. Was I blocking the way for her? Crap. I'm so embarrassing. She seemed tired and somehow… like I had seen her like this before…
"Get the hell out of my way Ara." She growled, flipping her golden bob hair. "I've had it with you. You're no use at all to this operation."
Before I could say anything she sighed and stepped around me. I just sat, listening to the clicking of her black heels walking behind me. I looked back, her hair bouncing as she walked; he hips swaying with the way she moved. What was in that case? What did she mean? What operation? How did she know my nickname? Who was that girl, had I seen her before?
MODERN NURSE ROSE POV:
I am Rose Lalonde. I had worked for Doctor Scratch for a while now and I had gotten tired of his bullshit. He had put me up for this case and I still had nothing figured out after years of testing on dead bodies and pitiful women such as Aradia. As a nurse of the big green Doc I had to find this shit out before I lose my place on the chart and end up working with my mother. I was sick and tired of Aradia's bullshit and whining. Sollux's death may lead up to the solution of this case. Aradia's powers were going to be very useful but I knew that now she can't be up to any harm to Sollux now.
Now that she knew the cause of Sol's death she was just plain rubbish to me. I didn't need her now. I kicked the door and then looked down at my tattered tights. This is what I became and I was proud. I was a strong woman and I didn't need so bitchy ass girl with super powers to help with this mystery. My mom joining this work force wasn't very helpful with this case. Jade didn't know about what I was doing so she wasn't much help as well.
I walked into my office and bowed to Doctor Scratch, who was sitting next to my desk leaned on the wall. I sung myself onto my chair and set the briefcase I had been carrying, opening it and peeking at what was inside. Doc gave a slight laugh at me. I looked up to see him leaning over my desk into the case. I slammed it closed and got up and out of the door. Fuck. He knows that I'm no where close to done with the case. Please, don't let me lose this job.
