So, I am back! Sorry for this being so late, but I'm a lazy bugger and left all my homework till today (shush. Not one of you will mention this to my mum) and so it had to get done before I posted this!
I beg of you guys, please review it and favourite and whatever! It means a lot! :)
Hannah the Hobbit!
Lucie reread the same five sentences again, making little notes to the side of the paper. Her attempts at distracting herself from the drop-dead gorgeous, doctor stood not three feet away, were in vain. She twirled the pen between her fingers faster, and much more aggressively as Cal laughed at the young nurses pathetic flirting, only encouraging her. Lucie swallowed the rude, sarcastic remarks she so desperately wanted to throw at them. Instead she looked around, praying for something she could flee to. Her eyes fell on Lily, emerging from behind a blue curtain. She walked over to her, casual and nonchalantly.
"Hi." She chirped, false cheeriness in her voice. Lily glowered at her.
"Thank you, Dr Carter, for completely ignoring my advice." She snapped. Lucie blinked.
"What?" She blurted out. Lily spun around and hissed in a low undertone.
"I told you to be careful of Cal, and you ignore it. In fact, You do the exact opposite that very night."
Lucie stepped back in surprise.
"What the fuck?" She spat, her anger less directed at Lily, and more to the doctor she was getting closer to on her left. "I would not go near that... Bastard, with a ten foot pole, never mind sleep with it."
Lily's face softened.
"You might want to do something about the rumours then."
Lucie saw Cal, slouching against a wall, alone. She stormed up to him.
"I can't believe you." She snarled.
"You're one to talk." Cal retorted. Lucie's glare intensified.
"You were a complete arsehole last night, and then this morning?..." She shook her head disgusted, not even bothering to finish her train of thought.
Their glowering session was broken off sharply, as the double doors burst open. Cal and Lucie rushed to the girl being wheeled through. Lucie's heart was torn out of her chest as she recognised the face from all of her childhood memories. She burst through her sea of panic as Dixie informed Cal.
"We don't know anything about her."
"Sarah Louise Carter, 20, no major medical history, she was admitted here on a mild cocaine overdose." Lucie spoke dully, but quickly. Cal nodded, switching into his 'doctor mode'. They rushed into Resus, banging the doors wide open. Lucie stopped outside the door, unable to go any further.
"Excuse me?" A voice shook Lucie out of her revive. She quickly wiped her eyes as she turned around.
"Yes?" She forced a smile on to her face.
"You wouldn't happen to know where Hannah Middleton might be?" A tall, lanky dark haired teenage boy asked. Lucie wavered.
"Erm, if you would like to follow me, I will go find out." She said shakily. She wandered down the corridor and tried to hold back her tears. Robyn caught sight of her distraught expression and hurried over.
"You okay?" She fussed. Lucie nodded.
"Just taking... Sorry I didn't catch your name?"
"Joseph."
"In that case, just taking Joseph to find a Hannah Middleton." She smiled weakly. Robyn skilfully nudged Joseph to point towards on of the cubicles.
"Oh!" Joseph blurted out. "There, that's her." He rushed over to a blonde haired, dancer with her foot being prodded by Lily. Robyn looked worriedly at Lucie.
"What's wrong?" She asked motherly.
"A quiet ED, solely comprised of about four people... One of which is my sister in Resus." Lucie swallowed hard. Robyn's heart melted for the poor girl.
"You poor thing." She sighed. Lucie pointed back down the way she came.
"If you don't mind... I'm just gonna..." Lucie trailed, spinning back around and hurrying back to Resus.
Cal emerged out of Resus, his face grim as Lucie sped towards him. Her heart plummeted as she saw the expression on her face.
"She's gone. Isn't she?" Lucie gulped.
"I'm so sorry, Lucie." Cal looked mournfully at her. "We tried everything."
Lucie nodded.
"I know." She whispered. Cal's arm wrapped comfortingly around her shoulders, very briefly. Then he disappeared down the corridor. Nurses came and went, moving around the island that was Lucie. She stood still, looking distraught after Cal. Looking lost without him.
Lucie was pretty much hugging the back of the blue couch. The material bunched up in her arms. Cal sat down lightly beside her. Even just having him there, staring into nothingness, helped. Both of them sat there, internally beating themselves up for what happened. For who they couldn't save. Her tears ripped ravages down her cheeks, hot, angry, guilty tears. She breathed in, and it came out again with a squeak and a whimper.
"Lucie." Cal whispered. "I am so sorry." Lucie merely nodded. She slumped into him, unable to stay alone. Cal's arms wrapped tightly around her, her life jacket in the freezing waters. Lucie managed to calm her ragged, erratic breathing, and she squeezed Cal back.
"Thank you, for everything." She breathed. She gently pulled away from him, and looked sadly into his eyes. "And sorry, for everything." She smiled weakly. "But mostly this."
Her lips lightly brushed his cheek, pressing a delicate kiss on to them.
Cal was the one looking lost now as he suddenly mourned the loss of the black haired doctor. Now each one had lost the other, life became so much more unbearable again.
