It was the next day and I arrived to work with Denise mostly with her smoking and me trying not to get any of it anywhere near me. When we arrived I went straight in and put my scrubs on, Denise finished her ciggertette. I was working with Meg today in cubicles. Our first paitent was an elderly man.
"Hello Mr Winters, Im Linda and this is Meg", I said.
"Call me William", Mr Winters said.
"William it is then", Meg said.
William had a fall at home. His a lovely bloke. Meg left to write up some notes.
"Nurse, during the vietnam war I was sent out to fight for this country, I have never met anyone as nice and caring as you, thank you", William said to me.
My eyes just filled with tears. Meg came back.
"Doctor tresure this nurse people like her are not common", William said to Meg.
"Ok", Meg said slighty confused.
Williams son entered with Louise.
"This is Fred, Mr Winters son", Louise said.
Louie thankfully soon left Im not keen on her she gives everyone evils.
"Dad", Fred worryinly said.
"Fred Im fine the lovely nurse is very caring, very small but caring", William said.
Very small, very small I thought. I didn't think I was that small. I was stitching up Williams head.
"Nearly done (hic), excuse me", I said.
I got hiccups great and in the middle of stitching meant no water. I continued to hiccup like five seconds apart. Once I had finished I signaled to Meg I was going to get water while hiccuping.
I left and went to the staff room.
"Alright", Denise asked.
I just stood there and hiccuped. Denise laughed while I got water, I drank the whole mug full and my hiccups were gone. Denise always laughed at my hiccups, Britney would hit me and Joe would sit so close to me but since Denise got out Britney ignores them. Now when Britney does her homework she likes me to help her do it which I like.
I went back into the cubicle.
"Sorry about that my hiccups dicided to say hello", I said.
Meg was trying not to laugh. She ignores them was discharged .We went off to lunch. I swear Meg's like my mother always checking im eating or giving me money for the canteen.
"What you got today then", Meg asked.
"Tuna pasta", I replied.
I also brought my own fork. Meg had a cheese and cucumber sandwich, salt and vineger crisps, stawberries, water, chicken bites and a chocolate bar. After lunch I got back to work.
"This is Chloe Andrews sixteen and was involved in school bullying on my count 1, 2, 3", Tamzin said.
"Hello Chloe Im Tom and this is Tess can you tell me what happened", Tom asked.
Chloe was silent. I ran in.
"Linda", Chloe said.
"Can she stay", she continued.
"Of course she can", Tess said.
A little later Jessica walked in.
"How you feeling", Jessica asked.
"A little better, since when was it a crime to hang around with your little sister", Chloe said.
Jessica is also the depurty head. When Chloe left for her scan I caught up with Jess.
"Was you angry about Meg and Zoe", I asked.
"No", Jessica replied.
Jessica put her arm around me.
"I never want to loose you", Jessica said to me.
I thought that was so sweet. Jessica is a great friend my mum don't like her but then again my mother only likes herself, her kids, grandkids and husband as shes selfish.
"How did you and Mike go", Jessica asked.
"He abused me his now in prison", I said eyes filling with tears", I replied.
I began to cry and Jessica hugged me. I got mascara on her white blouse but she didn't mind.
"He would chuck me across the room on hard floor", I said in tears.
Jessica's face filled with shock. I still have the bruises.
"Can I tell you a secret", I asked.
"Sure", Jessica replied.
"I had a baby with him after he got arrested she would have been four, I named her Jessica", I said.
"Can I meet Jessica", Jessica asked.
"No, she died", I answered back.
"How", Jessica asked.
"I took her to nursrey and then went to work, they wern't keeping an eye on her and she strangled herself with the blind lead, she was eighteen months", I said nearly crying.
Jessica took me into a big hug.
