Hello again :) This chapter and possibly the next couple are going to be a bit different as they are going to be written from the character's point of view (P.O.V) I hope you enjoy and, as always, feel free to review :)


Chapter 12. Off to Med School

Sam's P.O.V

I hugged my sister tightly, not wanting to let her go. I was really going to miss having May around.

"Don't worry. I'll phone you at least once a week. And I'll write to you as well." I said, trying to cheer her up. I knew she didn't want me to go.

"I'm really going to miss you Sam." May cried as I pulled myself out of the hug.

"Goodbye nan, goodbye granddad." I said, hugging them. "Thanks for everything. I'll never be able to repay you for how you helped me. Thank you so much!"

"It's ok Sam." my nan said, her voice thick. "You go and get that degree you have always wanted. You go and get your dream job. We'll all miss you."

"You'll do great Sam. I'm already missing you. Come and visit whenever you can." granddad said.

I gave them one last hug before granddad helped me load everything into my little car. It was a vaulkswagen beetle.

"I'm going to miss you granddad. You've always been here for me whenever I needed someone to talk to. I promise I will phone and write to you every week and I'll come and visit whenever I get the chance to."

"There's a good girl." he said, a tear slipping from the corner of his eye.

"Bye everyone! I'll be back before you know it!" I cried, starting up my car and waving frantically. "Bye!"

As I drove off, I felt a new sense of freedom. I was going to be living on my own now. I couldn't wait!


I unpacked my things, making my small flat seem more homely. Everything was so bare and white! I really needed to do some decorating when I got the time. And put up a bookshelf. I would need somewhere to keep all of my study books!

I headed out, a small map in my hands, to find the med school. I was supposed to be meeting my mentor at two... It was already two fifteen. I didn't think I was going to make a good first impression...

I walked quickly, following the signs and map. When I got there, I was overwhelmed by the enormity of the building! It was at least five storeys high and was bigger than an average hospital!

Nervous, I walked up to the main entrance and carefully pushed the door open. Standing by the reception desk was a man probably about seven or eight years older than me. He was talking to the receptionist in a gruff, annoyed voice. I heard my name mentioned and I coughed.

He turned around and looked right at me. His eyes felt like they were burning a hole through me. His deep, blue eyes set in his squared face, his firm lips surpressed a grin. He had a stubble-like beard that matched the colour of his slightly gelled, golden hair. His eyebrows raised and he folded his arms across his chest.

"Well Miss Nicholls. Nice of you to join me." he said, his voice gruff yet the sound of music.

'No!' I thought to myself. 'You can't feel this way about him.' But it was too late. I already did.

He kept looking at me with those deep, blue eyes. He half smiled and held out his hand. I returned the smile and took his hand politely. There was a full-on, electric feeling when my skin touched his.

"Hello, um..." I trailed off.

"Doctor Keogh, Dylan Keogh."

"Hello Doctor Keogh. Are you going to be my mentor?"
