CHAPTER 8-My job and the marine corp. wannabe

10:00AM

I'm on my way to the hospital, I received a text message from my head nurse. Asking me to see her as soon as I can. It can't be a bad news because her text has a kissy face smiley on the end. No worries. My last requested day off will be tomorrow. It means it's just a matter of days before I get back to the loving arms of our ward.

It was exactly 10:30 when I arrived to the hospital. I went straight to Ma'am Loo's apartment. She's still on her jammies when I arrived. She handed me a cup of coffee, I zip it and pretend that I like it. She puts the loaf of bread on the table along with the jet-puffed. Her room was clean and it smells nice. It smells like it has been sprayed by baby cologne. I can also see pile of disk on her table. Most of them where action film. It takes a couple of minutes before she finish talking to god knows who that person.

"How was your day off?" She asked.

"My rest day is great." I said.

"Mavis the reason why I wanted to talk you is about your status as a contractual nurse." She said, while taking a deep breath.

It takes almost 7 seconds of silence before she continues talking.

"You're one of the best nurses I've had in the ward, one of the most reliable nurse actually. But you know, this may change and some of those things were out of my control. And – "

"I'm sorry to interrupt you but can you go straight to the point." I said, not like what I'm hearing.

"Your fired. I mean I didn't fire you but – "

"I'm sorry what? What do you mean? That can't happen." I said, looking at the bread knife on the table

"I didn't fire you, it just someone told the people on the nurse's office that you're dating one of the doctor of G.U. You know that isn't allowed. So they decided to kick you out." She explain, with a very calm voice.

I wanted to defend myself, but I didn't know what say. I just stand up and leave the apartment. Standing outside the apartment I didn't know what to do. Should I go back to my head nurse's apartment and please her to tell the people from the office not to fire me. Should I go to the ward and pack my things and kill the only person I know who would tell those people that I'm having a relationship with Jay.

The ward is on its toxic hours, I can see Katie running at the hallway. I went straight to the dressing room. I packed all my things, even the slippers that I don't use. I saw the afternoon duty nurse cup on the top of the shelf. I took it and throw it on garbage can, I have a feeling that I need to crushed it into pieces. I took the steel bar beside the door and start crushing the mug. I felt like I was Miley Cyrus on her music video Wreaking ball, when she's destroying the wall using concrete hammer. I didn't put out my tongue during those times though.

''Where's my cup?"

That voice sounds familiar and I was right it was the afternoon duty nurse.

"Why are you still here? She asked.

"Are you looking for your cup? You can't use that anymore because I crushed it already." I said, still holding the steel bar.

"YOU CRUSH MY CUP!!! WHATTHE – "

"You know what, you should be thankful. I was planning to crush your face, until I realize it already looks awful. So I just crush your cup."I said.

She pulled up the sleeves of her shirt and removing stray hair from her face.

"Don't you touch me with those dirty hands of yours, because I wouldn't have second thought of hitting you with this bar. You know I don't have that much patience to wait for karma." I said, showing of the steel bar.
