Ollie and Zosia

If you need me

This is going to be what might happen in the next few weeks.

Ollie's POV

I won't give up. I've been trying ever since she said it was over 4 weeks ago. It's been the longest 4 weeks of my life.
The whole hospital is shaken from yesterday.
It was meant to mark the day Arthur and Morvern left for their European tour but Arthur tragically passed.
Zosia looks like she hasn't slept, her mascara has taken over her face and her hair is in the same bun as yesterday.
She looks drunk too.
'Dr March..' Jac starts slightly angered at Zosia's late arrival. Then she remembers.
'Sorry, I understand.' Jac smiles sympathetically.
The whole ward staff gives Zosia an empathetic smile and look.
'Please.' Zosia says shaking. 'Don't ask if 'I'm okay' or say 'I'm sorry' with a sorry look plastered on your face. I want to get on with today.'
People nod understandingly.
'Thanks.' She forces a smile before running into the locker room.
I can't stop myself but follow her.
'Zosia..' I say.
'Seriously Ollie now is not the time.' She frowns.
'I just want you to know I'm-'
'I said. I'm fine. Now please go away.'
Well I was expecting worse.
I open the door.
'I'm here if you need me.' I smile shutting the door before she can get a word in.

Zosia's POV

I am left alone in the locker room.
Why does he keep coming back?
I shut my locker and put on a brave face.
The same brave face I've put on for the last 4 weeks.
My mum was my rock: gone.
Arthur was my rock: gone.
Ollie was my rock: gon-
He's not gone. I'm just shutting him out.
My rock has to be loyal though.
I exit the room and I notice Jac talking to most of the staff.
She quickly finishes up before I approach them.
'What did I miss?' I ask.
'Um just, ur, allocations for today.' She lies.
I nod my head.
Even though I told them not to, they are forming some sort of pitty party.
'Dr March. May I speak to you please?'
I turn to see Mr Hanssen standing opposite me.
'Yes.' I say.
I look across the room and see Ollie.
He notices me looking and smiles.
I look away and enter Jac's office.
