ER [wlw]

Chapter 16

I wake up to the annoying sound of the alarm I set for a little earlier than I'd normally wake up.

I stand up and after stretching I take the time to make up the bed. Then I slide on my shoes, grab my phone and keys and leave the room, making sure to grab my scrubs off the dresser on my way out.

I recall Ramona telling me her room is to the right of this one so I go to it and knock on the door. When I get no reply after a few more knocks I decide to let myself in.

The room is dark but dimly lit by whatever Ramona has playing on the tv. I see her sound asleep under her cover.

She looks so peaceful and cute. Realizing I'm weirdly standing at her door and watching her sleep, I walk in and go to her side.

"Ramona." I talk loudly but sweet like I do when I wake up Bellamy. When she doesn't budge I give her a little shake on her good shoulder.

She stirs, then her eyes open. "I'm going home to get ready for work." I say.

She quiet for a minute, just laying there and blinking at me, it's honestly cute. "Wait, do you want me to make you breakfast or something?" Her voice groggy with sleep.

"I would but I can't risk being late, I'll grab something on the way to work. You go back to sleep, I'll call you when I get off." I smile, finding the offer sweet.

She's actually a really caring person I've come to find out. Last night really showed. I mean I never thought Ramona was mean, automatically, I knew why she didn't like me. In high school I was just scared of her, a lot of people were.

She gives me a slight smile, hints of her sleepiness in it. "Text me when you make it to work."

I giggle quietly. "Ok."

I hesitate for a moment before leaning down and kissing her cheek. "Thank you again, for being there for me last night."

A dramatic groan leaves her making me laugh again. "Stop thanking me, chinita. I don't like it."

"Ok, sorry. Bye." I let me hand finally leave her shoulder.

"Bye. Drive safe." She mumbles.

With another quiet giggle of amusement I turn around and leave being sure to close her door behind me.

I leave her house after making sure to lock the bottom lock. Once I'm in my car I drive the short trip to my house. On the way there I happen to open my sun visor to block the morning glare where I'm met with the picture of Bellamy as a baby I have clipped inside it.

I miss her, but I know I'll get a FaceTime call from her when she's out of school later.

Eventually I arrive to my house and quickly head in side where I shower and get ready for work.

When I'm dressed with my hair and make up done, I leave the house and drive straight to work, not even feeling like getting breakfast.

I park in my paid for parking spot. Unfortunately If you don't pay for one you'll be parking in the parking garage that isn't so close, it's so ridiculous to be honest.

With my work bag in hand I make my way inside, greeting everyone as I pass and taking a moment to send Ramona a text she probably won't see until later.

"Rough night?" Is the first thing Mason says when I reach the nurses station. He's the only one that happens to be back there at the moment.

I snort and make my way to the time clock on the wall behind the desk. "Do I look that bad?" I tried my best to hide my puffy eyes from the crying I did last night with makeup.
