"Right, this is Staff Nurse Masters." Connie said as she introduced him to everyone. "He will be joining us from today so please show him around."
She looked at Jacob one more time and left for her office. She didn't want to be around him. She couldn't. Although she showed people she was strong, she wasn't. It's all a lie. She weak. Really weak but pretending to be okay.
As she thought of Jacob, tears starting coming down her face. Why did he come back? How could he after he did to her. After making her life miserable!
"Get a grip Connie!" She told herself. "You can't get him get to you. You can't let him pull you down again. You come have come so far in your life so be broken up again by him."
"Get off me Jacob. Please" Connie cried as she begged him. But he didn't listen.
He continued..continued making her life hell. "Jacob... Nooooooo.."
Connie woke up screaming. Her body covered in sweat. After looking around, she realised she was safe. Safe in her office by her sofa. She must have fallen asleep earlier without realising.
After composing herself, She grabbed her stethoscope and left her office, ready to face the world. Ready to face him.
"Aha, Connie, a guy in cubicle five needs to be discharged." He told told who wasn't impressed.
"It's Mrs Beauchamp." She corrected him before snatching the patient's file and heading of to the cubicle.
The ED was less hectic than normal thus Connie's shift was easy. Do death and nothing major happened. At the end of her shift, she went back to her office and grabbed her stuff. As she was about to leave, Jacob entered her office.
"You can't avoid me for long Connie." He told her. "We work at the same place."
Connie didn't utter a word. Instead, she headed for the door only to be stopped by Jacob holding her hand.
"I am truly sorry Connie for everything I did.." He said.
Connie pulled her hand away from his grip and left without saying anything
