The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 16
Linda stood outside the hospital, the hospital in which she quit in 2012, as she visited her sister Denise, niece Britany, and nephew Joe, who'd moved to Liverpool as she wanted to be near them as they were the only family she had.
Zoe Hanna was standing outside having a cigarette, she took a long hard puff and sighed, blowing the smoke away from her. She rested her head against the brick wall when she thought she seen Linda. Dropping the cigarette, she crushed it under her heel.
"Linda?" Zoe called, stepping forward.
"Hiya Zoe " She replied excitedly in her thick Liverpool accent, giving her former friend a hug, they hadn't seen each other in ages even though, they'd promised to keep in touch when Linda left but they hadn't managed it. Zoe turned and walked back in to the hospital. Linda followed a while later as she wanted to see Jessica.
Zoe, meanwhile, had walked back in to her office and sat down at her desk and reached for her mug of coffee. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. " Come in " Zoe called, straightening up in her chair as the door opened and a man with ginger hair walked in, stood in front of Zoe's desk and he waited for Zoe to start talking. Lenny nodded and left the office. He was struggling with how he was going to talk to Jessica about breast cancer, he knew a little about cancer as his younger sister Helen, was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, a rare type of cancer he'd had a blood test to find out if he was a match for her but he wasn't and she had gotten weaker and weaker and then she'd been moved to a hospice like their mother had.
Lenny shook his head to escape the memories Lenny opened the cubicle curtain and walked in. Jessica looked up thinking it was Adam and when she realised it wasn't she felt at an disadvantage in her flimsy hospital gown. Lenny looked at her and lunched at her.
She felt sick, and tried to push him off her but he held her wrists terrifying her as she let out a small whimper, hoping to attract someone's attention but it was too quiet. She tried to swallow the bile that was rising at the back of her throat but it was difficult. She could feel her cheeks getting wetter and wetter with tears as she wished Adam was with her. Unknown to her, he was on his way.
What's going on?" Adam questioned as he pulled back the curtain.
It was then Lenny made a shocking allegation. "She came on to me "
"What?" Adam said as he looked at his ex - wife and put a finger under her chin, slowly bringing her face up to his.
"I'm fine " Jessica whispered. Although she had been crying. "I'm fine " She repeated.
Adam let go of her face and rounded on the Scottish doctor who he'd taken under his wing when he first started at the ED. "Outside now " He said though gritted teeth. Zoe and Tom followed the doctors outside in to the car park.
Zoe and Tom tried to pull the fighting doctors apart. Adam wiped his cut lip on his sleeve, ignoring Jessica's concern.
Linda passed Adam wondering where Lenny was, he was still standing outside nursing a broken nose and Linda found him. She wanted him to apologize but he was having none of it, insisting Jess had led him on. Linda decided to side with Lenny leaving Jessica with Adam.
Back in the cubicle, Jessica was lay on the bed while Adam gently shushed her by running his fingers through her hair. "It's OK I've got you " He told her Jessica said nothing in response, just relaxed and moved closer to Adam.
I know that was very out of character for the Scottish doctor, but it's fiction, anything can happen and it was the only way I could get the chapter too work. Next prompt: Tom and Sam bring home their twins, Ben and Lily, for the first time since Sam's labour, but will it be straight forward for the new parents? Wrote for Tam Jaspie.
