Diagnosing Attraction. Part 19

Hey guys!

I know this must be a surprise - I actually uploaded in under a week! :P I think the only reason why though, is because I was sick on Thursday, so I've haven't been out of the house since Wednesday :L I'm so glad it was only a 24 hour thing though, because I rarely get sick and I can't handle it when I do!

CHAPTER NINETEEN

"I'm just going downstairs to meet Maddie and get us some breakfast; do you want anything in particular?" I asked her as I stood up from the seat, before walking over to my bag and taking out my purse.

"No anything is fine with me," she looked over at me and smiled slightly.

"No worries, we should only be fifteen minutes or so," I said and zipped up my bag. "The nurse will be in around lunchtime today to change your dressing," I told her what the nurse had said to me when I got here.

"Okay," she nodded and pushed herself up on the bed, fixing the pillows, before sitting back against them.

"I'll be back in fifteen or twenty minutes," I smiled at her quickly, before walking over to the door and leaving the room. It was only half nine in the morning, so the hospital was pretty quiet, which I was thankful for because I was too tired for lots of people right now. But that didn't stop me from missing the elevator by a few seconds, as the door closed as I was walking down the corridor towards it. I let out long breath when I reached the elevator, before pressing the button and folding my arms across my chest.

"How are Amy and her sister doing today?" A voice carried around the corner, making me frown to myself both confused and curiously. I took a step to the corner, before leaning my shoulder against the wall and peering around the corner. I noticed Harrison was standing at the empty nurse's station with another doctor, who was looking down at a file. Even though their backs were towards me, I leant back out of sight and made sure they wouldn't be able to see me.

"I haven't spoken to Henry today, but they were doing alright yesterday, well as much as could be expected."

"Are you still keeping your distance from them?" The other doctor asked, making me wonder how much Harrison has told him about what happened.

"What else am I supposed to do Greg? She told me that we were done, she doesn't want to see me," Harrison said with a sigh. When he called the other doctor Greg, I immediately realised it was Harrison's mentor, who he's mentioned to me before.

"You could be as stubborn as you normally are, ignore what she said and try to get back what you had." His mentor argued with him, as I turned slightly to lean my back against the wall.

"That's not what she wants, she's right to blame me for what happened and to want me to stay away."

"What happened wasn't your fault Harrison, we all make mistakes and get things wrong or miss something. I've seen the images and I would've said it was a shadow too, so it isn't like you're the only one who would've said it was a shadow." He tried his best to reassure Harrison, who sounded more tired than usual and I could only imagine how tired he looked.

"But this was something I shouldn't have missed though, it's something that I shouldn't have dismissed and is a basic call to make. I shouldn't be making these mistakes," he remained adamant, not believing what his mentor said. Part of me still blames him for what happened, but not nearly as much as I did yesterday or the day before.

"Harrison, you can't beat yourself up every time you get a call wrong or miss something. I still make mistakes and I've been a doctor for twenty-five years, so you can't blame yourself for everything that goes wrong. Yes, it's good to acknowledge that you got it wrong, but only so you don't make the same mistake again."
