A few days later Cara is finally making an attempt to go to work, she has been off for three days because she is 'ill' and now she's decided to face the music.

"Cara where's my cereal?" Morven moans as she cant find it.

"I don't know, it's where ever you put it last" Cara huffs as comes into the kitchen/living area.

"Don't be so huffy Cara" Morven says rolling her eyes.

"Your not the one that's been ill and is now going to work to do a twelve hour shift" Cara says.

"Cara you weren't ill" Morven says.

"Yes I was" Cara snaps.

"You had a bad hangover that's it!" Morven snaps back.

"Don't snap at me" Cara says as she grabs her work bag.

"Don't snaps at me!" Morven says.

"Just remember who your landlord is" Cara says as she grabs her phone and leaves.

Morven rolls her eyes and leaves the house after her without her breakfast in her.

Cara makes her way to work, when she arrives she heads straight to the locker room where Raf and Fletch are. She gets herself changed quickly and completly ignores Raf.

"Better Nurse Martinez?" Fletch says.

"Yes a lot better thanks" she smiles not making any eye contact with Raf.

"So what was wrong with you" Fletch says.

"Had a stomach bug" she mutters.

"Ohh maybe you shouldn't be here today? You many still be contagious" Fletch smirks.

"I'm fine!" she snaps.

Raf looks Cara up and down and sees the bruises on her knees as she changes into her scrubs. Fletch leaves the locker room leaving both Raf and Cara alone.

Cara pulls her clothes on and turns and looks at Raf "what?!" She says

"Nothing" Raf sighs.

"Stop starring" she says as she goes to leave the room.

"Your in theatre with me today nurse" Raf says as he pushes past her and leaves.

"Mind it!" she snaps but Raf ignores her.

Raf walks onto the ward and drops the door as he walks through causing Cara to crash into the door.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" Cara asks as she open the door again.

Cara rubs her wrist and heads to the nursing station, "oh sorry I didn't see you there" Raf smirks as he goes to pick up the same files as Cara.

Cara can feel her anger rising already, "you saw me perfectly well!" she snaps.

"Grow a bit then or put a sign over your head, saying 'caution I kiss other men don't go out with me' that should do" he smiles.

She rolls her eyes and walks off to do her ward round. Raf follows her "stop following me!" Cara snaps.

"Opps I actually am doing this ward round aswell" he says.

"Stay away from me then" Cara huffs as she goes to the first patient.

"Will do" he smirks.

He goes to the same patient and starts to run through the observations. "Give me a moment" Cara smiles to the patient.

"Mr Di Lucca a word please" she says as she walks away from the patient.

"What?" he asks.

"Can you go to a different patient? I can do it myself thanks!" she says.

"No I happen to be operating on this patient today..." Raf starts.

"What's your problem Cara?" he asks.

"Nothing... It's just you" she huffs.

"Well whatever it is about 'me' keep it out of work!" he says.

"I don't even want to work with you anymore... You probably lie to your patients too!" Cara says loudly.

"Well I'm afraid you have to!" he says as he walks back over to the patient.

Cara frowns and walks back over to the patient too.  She carries on with her ward round and ignores Raf, Cara finishes her rounds and goes and sits down.

She sits on the computer at the nurses station, "Nurse" Raf says

"What?" she mutters.

"Scrub in now" Raf says.

"Right" she huffs.

She goes to theatre and scrubs in, She sort of stands about for a bit until told what to do. "Cara do something useful instead if acting like a spare part" Raf says as he makes the first incision.

"Well what do you want me to do? You haven't asked me to do anything!" Cara says rolling her eyes with such an attitude.

"Less of the attitude" Raf says as he passes her a kidney dish. Cara rolls her eyes, "Scalpel" Raf says as he holds his hand out.

Cara looks around for a bit as she can't find it, "hurry up!" Raf says.

"I can't find one!" she says.

One of the other scrub nurses quickly passed him a scalpel, "oh... We've got a bleed, suction!... Nurse Martinez !!" Raf shouts.

"What? I actually couldn't find one!" she says.

"Suction now!" Raf shouts as the patient starts to bleed out.

Cara rolls her eyes, "well the patients fine now...so not my fault!" she says.

"Cara!!! For god sake just give me some fucking swabs now!!" Raf shouts.

"Enough of the language" she laughs cheekily.

"Cara!!" He shouts as the other scrub nurse passes him some swabs.

Cara rolls her eyes and stands watching him. Raf continues but his patients with Cara is thinning.

"You know what Cara...just get out!" he shouts.

"What? I didn't do anything!" she says.

"Cara! Get out of my theatre now!" He shouts loudly making her jump and drop the kidney dish.

"Jesus Christ Raf, calm down, I'm going, I'm going!" she says.
