I had just two weeks before my big sister was leaving me. I didn't want Denise, Britney or Joe to leave. I love them. I set off to work and Denise caught up with me. We walked to work together. I still remember when we were kids Denise threw the ball to me and it hit me in the face and I fell over backwards.
"Hurry up Linda", Denise said.
Thats a line Denise is known for hurry up Linda. I was coming.
"Linda Im leaving today now", Denise said.
I was so upset. My eyes were watering. I got to work and put on my scrubs. I was working with Sam.
"Alright", Sam asked.
"No", I replied looking down and very quiet.
"Whats wrong, Linda", Sam asked.
"I don't want them to leave", I said.
I burst into tears. Sam hugged me. Sam decided I should throw a leavers party like I did for Lenny. I agreed so I told everyone the hardest part would to get Denise to go. I walked into the toilets locked myself in and began to cry.
"Are you alright in there", Tess asked.
I now had to opitions they are to either lie and say Im fine or revell myself crying. I choose the second opition I opened the door.
"Linda", Tess said.
Tess put her arm around me and took me to her office. She gave me a tissue and a glass of chocolate milkshake. Tess loves chocolate milkshake.
It got to six and it was time for the party, Louise said she'd make Denise go. I wasn't to sure if I was going to be able to keep in the tears. I stood with Meg, Zoe and Sam at the back. I felt sick. I sat down.
"Linda", Meg asked.
"Im fine it'll pass", I said.
"Ok but tell one of us if it gets worse", Zoe said.
Sam put her arm around me. I think it was just nerves. Denise entered. She looked happy with her send off and told her kids. Britney and Joe walked up to me and hugged me.
"I love you aunty Linda", Joe said.
"I'll miss ya", Britney told me"
"Your only half an hour away", I said.
I broke down into tears. I felt bad as everyone could see.
"Don't cry aunty Linda", Joe said.
Britney hugged me and was calming me down. It was kind of working I suppose. Denise, Britney and Joe had left and Zoe took over the hugging.
"Drink", Zoe asked.
"Can I have a gin and tonic", I asked.
"Yes", Zoe replied.
"Ok", I answered.
I walked out of the ED with Zoe wiping away the tears.
