Growing Back Together

Chapter 2

Zosia's sobs had calmed down slightly until they had became slight whimpers,

"I can't go back to the flat tonight, I can't. He's everywhere there. I don't know what to to do." Zosia cried.
"Don't worry, you can stay at mine, I can have the sofa." Ollie offered, Zosia silently just nodded her head before dropping it back down in grief. Ollie simply squeezed her hand In reassurance before leaving her in the staff room.

Just as he was walking down the corridor, he spotted the red headed consulant,

"Jac I'm gonna take her home, she's struggling you're right." Ollie shrugged

" I don't know if she would like to but they're going to take him down to the morgue soon so Morven was wondering if she wanted to say goodbye, she's the only one who hasn't yet." Jac suggested.

"I don't know Jac, she feels bad enough that she wasn't there, she thinks it's all her fault, she was trying to please you and she lost sight of her friend during it all. She's not just dealing with grief Jac, she's dealing with guilt."

"Okay Valentine, just take her home."

Oliver returned back to the staff room, but the small huddled figure had gone.
"Zosia?" Ollie shouted into the corridor. Her phone was still there as was her coat. "Zosh?" He repeated.

Jac appeared seeing Ollie's worried face,
"I will check the toilets. You need to check the roof." Ollie face dropped.
"What the hell Jac? She wouldn't."
"Oliver just go will you."

Ollie turned in shame. He understood Zosia was hurting but she would do anything stupid, she was a clever, his Zosia was clever. Panic struck Ollie's heart as he ran up the stairs, he couldn't bare the thought of her hurting herself let alone leaving him forever.

As he reached the top of the staircase the door had been propped open, he gingerly pushed it.

"Zosh?" Ollie questioned.

The small figure that was sat on the edge looked round, in her hand was a photo of Digby.

"I'm sorry Ollie." She whispered before she shifted closer to the edge.
