It was my second week in the Everhope Hospital. My first week was great. I met new people in my life. They taught me how to maintain records and showed me the hospital. Last week, I tried to find clues about Luka and Caleb but couldn't find anything.
[Me] : Hey! I am Liam. I want to talk to you about Stiles.
[Me] : Manny told me you are on a vacation. Is that right, Caleb?
He didn't reply to any of my messages. I tried to message him again. I don't know why he is doing that. Is he hiding something? I must find out. Right now, I must go to Everhope Hospital.
I was maintaining records of the new patients and discharged patients. I was enjoying it because it was something new and also it gives me more money from my previous job.
Then I saw the schedule for the appointments. It was him again, Oliver. I need to search him and send him to ER room
I saw him talking with the female nurse. Was he just flirting? They were smiling. What are they talking about? Why do I care? I walked forward.
“Dr. Brown, you have an operation in the ER room right now.” I said, my tone is soft.
“Alright. I will talk to you later.” He said to the nurse, waving them.
I heard the nurse talking about how hot Oliver is. They have a crush on him. Why do they have a crush on him? He isn't even attractive.
Right, I must focus on my work. I walked through all the floors and reminded the doctors about their appointments. Then I walked towards the records room.
I checked all the records of today's patient if they have any disease or untold problem. I didn't find anything. I went towards the computer to save it into electronic format. I just need to fill in the details and save it.
It's been an hour. I was exhausted. I went towards the vending machine to buy a drink. I purchased a cold drink and opened it while sitting on the chair in a quiet place. Unexpectedly, Oliver comes towards me. “Give me that drink. Buy yourself another one.” he said, handing me money.
“Why should I buy another one for me? Go buy it yourself.” I replied coldly.
“I am busy. I have an operation in a few minutes.” he said.
“Then it's your problem. Go towards the operation room, it has a vending machine. Go and buy it.” I said, my voice raised a bit.
“Don't talk back to me.” He said, pointing me a finger.
“But I want to.” I replied back.
He walked away. I guess he's going to do the operation. I am starting to meet and remember the doctors. That's when a doctor came towards me.
“Can you hand me a scalpel?” he asked me.
I walked towards the supply room where I tried to search for a scalpel. I found it. But there are many sizes. I took one of them and handed it over to him.
He wasn't happy. I guess he was irritated. He looked at me angrily. I didn't know what the problem was. He shouted at me.
“A asked for a size 11 scalpel. It's a size 15.” He yelled at me.
“I don't know the difference. I am a non-medical staff member.” I replied, trying to defend myself.
“He's right. It's your problem. You can't order non-medical staff for these tools.” Oliver said, coming towards us.
The doctor walked away as soon as Oliver came. He went to the other room without looking at me. Then I heard everyone talking about the marathon.
“Did you hear Oliver is going to run this year?”
“I heard he's a great runner.”
What? A marathon. Maybe I should participate too. If I am allowed to. I should ask others. I walked towards the manager to ask him. I heard there is going to be a picnic for staff this weekend.
The manager told me that the participants are already chosen. But I can come to the picnic as I am a staff member. But I wanted to be a part of the marathon.
As I looked through the time, I realised it was three in the afternoon. My shift is over. I left the hospital and quickly went home. A notification pops up on my phone.
[Clara] : Hey! How are you?
[Me] : I am fine. What about you?
[Clara] : Not so great. The new part timer is very stressful. He's been irritating me.
[Me] : I know. The first few days are stressful.
[Clara] : It's all because of you. Why did you resign?
[Me] : I need to solve my case quickly. Maybe I can find something there.
[Clara] : Alright. I am busy. Bye.
[Me] : Bye.
Next day, I went to Everhope Hospital. It's the day of the picnic for the staff. I went inside as I saw everyone happy. They were talking to each other and going in the bus. This time we were going to Ravencrest Park. It was ten in the morning.
It's not that far away. Just an hour from the hospital. As we were in line to sit in the bus. I realised that the bus was already full and I didn't have a place. Then the manager who was sitting in front told me to come with Oliver. He is going to come alone.
So, now I am going to find Oliver in the parking area. As I saw a person looking like him. A person with a helmet sitting on a bike. It was Oliver. I didn't know he could ride bikes.
“Come on quickly. The manager told me to take you.” He said, starting the bike.
I walked forward and sat behind him. He started to ride it and I realised that ten minutes had passed. He was riding it very slowly. I was getting bored.
“Can't you ride it faster? If we go by this speed, we will reach there tomorrow.” I said to him,
“No. It's safer to be at this speed.” He said. “Stop it. Stop the bike.” I said to him,
I carefully stepped outside the bike.
“Get up. Let me ride it.” I said, asking for the key.
“No way. I can't give my keys to you.” he said.
“We need to reach there. Let me drive. I ride it better than you.” I said, taking his keys in my hand.
“Give me the key.” He said.
“No. Let me drive it then.” I said.
“Fine. Do what you want. But be careful.” He said.
Then I stepped on the bike and started it. I ride it carefully. I was going fast so that I could catch up with the bus. I could hear Oliver saying Go slowly. Go slowly. I guess he was scared by my driving.
Finally, a few minutes later, we arrived at the entrance of the Ravencrest Park. I parked the bike safely. Then we went inside. It was a picnic spot. Everyone was already sitting on the grass and enjoying the view.
I was walking around the park, enjoying the view. I could hear all the staff and doctor talking about the lunch.
“I heard there's going to a barbeque.”
“And I heard there's going to be a baseball match.”
Then I came towards the ground where there's going to be a marathon. I could hear everyone supporting their friends. Then someone pulled me backwards. It was a senior doctor.
“I heard you can run. Can you do the 5k marathon?” He asked me.
“Of course.” I said, on my way to change my clothes for the match.
Then I went towards the line and ran for the marathon. It was a long run. But I like running and I am best at it. I can't lose at this race. Of course I won. Then I saw Ella.
“Hey! What are you doing here?” She asked me.
“I am here for a picnic with my friends.” I answered her, as I saw Oliver looking at me with wide eyes as he would take my eyes out.
“What is Oliver doing here?” She asked me.
“Well. I am not doing at the hospital he's an intern in. We are all here for the picnic.” I said, looking at him. “Do you know him?”
“Yes. He was my boyfriend before I fell in love with you. Around a year ago.” She replied.
“I remember, I need to go. Bye.” she said, waving at me.
I didn't know Ella was her girlfriend. It was before Ella started to tutor me. Then I heard someone calling me. “Liam!!!”
As I turned backwards, the ball hit me hard on my right eye and I tripped and fell down and hurt myself on my head. Then I fainted.
Then when I opened my eyes, I was lying on the ground. I saw a few people looking at me.
“Are you alright?” they asked me.I moved my hand towards my eye and touched it. It was badly hurt. I saw my eyes had turned red in the mirror. I wondered who hit me.
“You fainted when you tripped down.”
“You were passed out for an hour.”
“Are you feeling well?”
These are all the questions I received. Then I saw Oliver coming towards me with a pack of ice. He handed it over to me.
“Sorry. It was me who hit you. I didn't mean to. It wasn't intentional.” he said, using the ice pack on my eye.
I was angry at him. Did he really hit me? Was it intentional? He was looking at me weirdly when I was talking to Ella. I know it's her ex now. Was it because of her? Maybe I am thinking too much.
Then we had a barbeque and ate all the lunch. We enjoyed our picnic and went home back. Oliver dropped me back home on his bike.
