When Linda walked into the staff room, she wasn't surprised that there was no coffee. There were bigger things to worry about right now.
"Why did I send Sam there?" Zoe asked, tears silently falling down her face. "She didn't want to go!"
"You couldn't have known that this would happen Zoe. Its not your fault." Linda said, handing Zoe a tissue. She wiped her eyes with it.
"But it still happened! If only I'd gone myself."
"No Zoe. This wasn't your fault! Stop blaming yourself. If it is anyones fault, its the schools for npt getting it fixed soon enough." Linda explained. "And did you listen to the surgeon?"
"Yes."
"He said that Jess would be fine! So stop crying." Linda said, wiping Zoes eyes with a tissue. "Jess will be out of theatre soon, and she will be fine!"
"It shouldn't have happened in the first place."
"Thats not your fault." Linda said. "Look, I will make you some coffee, and I want you to relax over there." She pointed at the sofa.
"Okay."
Linda made the coffee for them both, and handed one to Zoe.
"Look, I need to get back to work, so I want you to relax, okay?" Linda asked.
"Sure." Zoe said, sitting down and kicking her shoes off and grabbing her coffee.
"I'll be back later to see how you're doing."
"Thank you Linda... for everything."
"Its fine, really. Now relax." Linda said, and leaving the staff room.
"How's Zoe?" Nick asked Linda.
"I think she's calmed down a bit, but she is blaming herself for what happened."
"Why?"
"She thinks that she shouldn't have sent Sam there. She said that she should have gone instead." Linda explained.
"Well, she couldn't have known that would happen." Nick said. "Let me go and talk to her."
"No, I left her to relax in there, give her some alone time." Linda said.
"Oh okay." Nick said. "Well, Sam is in there, She's fine, but still unconsious. We don't know when she will wake up."
"Where's Dylan?"
"He is in there with her. Hasn't left her since they came in."
"I will go and see if he is alright." Linda said.
Going in, Dylan didn't even look up to acknowledge Linda's presence.
"Dylan." She said.
"What." was all he said.
"I wanted to see if you were okay. You never got checked out after you got here."
"Im fine." He said.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Okay." She said, and walked out, dissapproving of Dylan's response.
"Any luck talking to him?" Lenny asked her.
"Nope. Didn't really want to know what I had to say."
"Thought so. He's been like that since we let her rest."
"Oh well. Thats how he wants to deal with it."
"Did you know that they were married?" Lenny asked.
"No, did you?"
"No way! They are like the most unlikely couple i've ever seen!" Lenny laughed.
"I know right? They bicker everyday! Like a married couple... oh I get it!" LInda said, and laughed with Lenny.
"So how is Zoe?"
"I think she is getting over the shock now. Resting." Linda told him.
"Oh thats good. Jess will be out of theatre soon, won't she?"
"Yeah, I should think so."
Just then Nick walked up to them.
"Jess is out of theatre now guys." He said.
"Okay, I will go and get Zoe." Linda said.
