SIMPLY COMPLICATED// Corbyn Besson

Corbyn's POV

I reached home. It was very quiet. I walked upto the sunroom only to find Zar staring at the moon.

"Hey"

She turned to me.

"Where were you?" She asked..

"Meeting. I told you"

"Are you sure?" She walked upto me.

"Yeah. Why are you interrogating me?"

"Nothing you should worry about. I'm heading to the bed for sleep." She paused and started walking away. I stood there like a fool watching her go.

She looked over her shoulder and said, "You know, you don't have to do this if I'm a burden for you. I accept the fact that there are better girls for you, much better than me. You can break up if you want. Just don't lie to me next time." Her voice sounded so fragile that for I moment I felt so guilty that I wanted to crawl into a hole and never come back.

**The next morning**

I woke to an empty bed beside me. Did she leave early?

"Zara? Babe?" I got no answer.

I went to the bathroom for morning routine and found a note on the mirror. I took it and read.

I'm heading to the college. You should've at least told that you're going to a party with someone else as a date. Lera texted me. Enioy your time with her. I'll be back a bit late than usual.

Zara

I crumbled it and threw it in the bin. I can't handle my conflicted mind right now so I put some music and got ready for the studio. I took a shower and headed out of the bathroom. Just as I was putting my t shirt on, my phone buzzed. It's Lera. A smile crept on my face as I read her text.

Lera : Hey! Good morning. I'll be waiting for you, pick me up at 7pm. Hope you have a nice day!

Corbyn: Good morning. Don't worry I'll be there at time. You too have a nice day!

And then I headed for the studio.

Zara's POV

How can he do this to me? Or am I overreacting?-

"Dr. Satterlee, Dr. Andrews has asked me to inform you that you'll be scrubbing in for his today's surgery. I suppose the patient is Mr. Xavier. And also, you need to get him ready for the surgery." The nurse told me.

Well, seems like my debut surgery will be in cardiac department.

(A/N: Guys, mostly in medical colleges you're not allowed to scrub in in the first or second year itself but I need to put this scene up because we can't wait to actually mention her practicing medicine much later in the story. So I might want you to pretend that she's almost a doctor right now. Sorry to the medical students, who are reading my story, for not following the real situation here.)

I went to Mr. Xavier's room and knocked before entering.

"Hello Mr. Xavier. How are you feeling today?" I asked as I was checking his vitals.

"As usual, the pain and all. And..." He trailed off.

"It's okay to be nervous before your sugery. It's natural. But let me remind you that you're in the best hands. Dr. Andrews is one of the best Cardiothoracic surgeon out here. And this about the life after this surgery. It'll be so much better than this. You'll be able to live without having those chest pains, you won't have to live with a nurse running around you all the time. Think positive." I said.
