Will's POV
I have majorly fucked up. I really thought he might feel the same way. I guess not. I can't blame him, it's my fault for making assumptions based solely on what I want to happen. Nonetheless, when he walks out of the doctor's lounge and says 'Hey, Will, I've been hoping to talk to you all day!' I just respond with, 'Sorry, Connor. I've got to go.'
Connor's POV
That was weird. Why is he being so cold? Oh crap. He thought something was going on with Robin.
'Will, wait!' I run after him, 'Wait'
He turns back when we're in the car park, 'Ive got to go.'
'Will, can we just talk about-'
'Looks like you've already found somebody to talk to.'
I walk back inside. He has no right to be angry at me. We never made anything official. We've never kissed. We've never been on a date. But, I guess, I understand. And I wish I could explain. But he's not gonna give me the chance willingly.
Will's POV
I feel so guilty. I'm pissed off at myself and I took it out on him. It's not his fault I broke up with a Natalie for something that could never work. I drive home and lie awake in bed, feeling awful. For Connor and for Natalie.
Connor's POV
I had stopped looking for other jobs, but that night I started again. The next week, I go into work at med knowing that it is my last day. Without Will, there's nothing tying me to med. I can be a surgeon anywhere. I feel a little bad leaving Dr Latham and I'll definitely miss everyone here, but I can't stay after what happened. With Ava and with Will.
I walk out of the front doors that night knowing that it's for the last time.
