Healing Hearts (Book 3 Series 2)

Chapter 1 Hailey

"Hand me the scissors!" I tell someone, anyone. Reaching my hand out for someone to place the scissors in my hand, a few moments pass by, nothing. Absolutely nothing is in my hand. I feel a pang of anger rising through me.  

"Scissors?!" I turn around facing all the staff helping me. 

"Dr Hailey what do you want?" A nurse talks back, I can feel my anger reaching its peak. I step closer to her, pulling my mask down. 

"I want you out of my face." I demand. 

"I'm not going." She continues. 

"I said out." I step closer. She gulps, stepping backwards to the door. She knows damn well what I did last time someone I didn't want in here. I slapped him and that person is none other than Cameron Woods, one of the best Doctors in this hospital, and the guy that I broke his heart. He doesn't know why. The truth is I broke up with him because people in the hospital told me he was cheating on me with Eliana, the stupid dentist. Now I don't talk to him, and he doesn't talk to me. I don't talk to Eliana, He still does. Unfortunately Eliana married my brother. My brother could've had anyone in this hospital, why did it have to be Eliana?

"Dr Hailey." The sound of the surgeon snaps me out of my thoughts, and back into reality. I turn back around, pulling my mask back up. I take a deep breath, continuing the surgery.  

------------

The surgery is finally done. It thankfully went well. I wipe the sweat off my forehead with my arm. Heading towards the bathroom to change into my normal clothes. As I enter the bathroom, I see none other than Eliana, I roll my eyes, heading to the sink to wash my hands. I'm crossing my fingers she doesn't say anything. I get it, she's my sister-in-law, but I couldn't care less. She stole my boyfriend....Ex boyfriend. I step into one of the stalls to avoid her, but before I can enter she smiles and walks out. I let out a sigh of relief thankful she left. After I get dressed, I head out back to my office. As I'm walking through the corridors I pass by Cameron, Our eyes locking for a moment, I look away quickly not wanting to interact with him at all. Whether its our eyes locking, or Me slapping or punching him. None. I want none. I can't help but look back as I'm far away, as I look back I notice him looking. This time he quickly looks away, scratching his eyebrow, out of embarrassment. My phone vibrates in my pocket, I pull it out to see who it is. 

Madison: How was the surgery? 

I love Madison, but I kinda envy her. She's friends with all the hospital staff and everyone seems to love her, me on the other hand, everyone is terrified of me. Everyone thinks I'm this monster. Which I'm not. 

Me: Good, I think. 

Madison: You think? I know it went well. You're the best surgeon here. 

I sigh in relief and happiness, I am the best here, but no one seems to care about that. All everyone cares about is How terrifying I am. Once again I'm not. But when people make me mad, I get mad. 

Me: Thanks. 

--------

I head to the receptionist, to inform her that my shift is over. Once I get to the front desk I see Cameron.

"I'm off. Alright?" He says, waving the receptionist. The receptionist is blushing. Who wouldn't blush? Cameron has his way of making someone love him. He just uses his charm and handsomeness. He made me blush every time we spoke. 

"My shift is over too." I tell her, smiling slightly. I wanted to say 'I'm off' since that's what I always say, but Cameron would think I'm copying him. I walk away, Cameron follows, walking side by side, till I turn to head to my car, before he grabs my wrist, causing my heart to flip. 

"Can we talk?" He asks. 

"We have nothing to talk about." I say, pulling my hand away from his grip. 

"so you're seriously saying all that dating meant nothing to you. I mean come on Hails, Everything was going great, until one day you showed up demanding to break up without giving any reason."  I feel a pang of guilt run through me, I cared and it meant the world that we were dating, but he did something I will never forgive him for. 

"Have a good night Cameron." 

"You too." He turns to walk away, tears forming in my eyes. I can't. I can't take it, seeing him like this. It shatters my heart to see him breaking apart.
