The Complaint -COMPLETED

nineteen

She had given up with paper work and decided to sit with Jacob until early hours when she retreated to the on-call room to get what little sleep she could. She didn't want to go home with Jacob still in hospital, but she knew she had to go back to get changed and grab some things for Jacob.

Whilst at his house her phone began ringing, Charlie.
'Charlie, I've been gone 30 minutes please don't tell me the place is falling apart...'
'Connie listen it's Jacob!'
Connie went silent, instantly falling onto the chair.
'He began to deteriorate, due to a pneumothorax but he's now being fitted with a chest drain, he is now stable but unconscious.'
'But he's going to be okay?'
she sounded so vulnerable her voice cracking as she tried to get her words out, Charlie hated hearing her like it.
'Connie you know aswell as I do I can't say if he's going to wake up as of yet, but just come back to the hospital, but please be safe. You know he's in the best of hands.'
Connie ended the phone call her eyes glassy, she needed to get back to the hospital. She had gym leggings from the back of her car and she put on one of Jacobs jumpers not caring what people thought. She picked up a bag full of Jacobs things and drove as fast as she could back to the hospital.

She sat in her car looking distantly out of the front window not realising someone approaching her side door.
Knock, knock.
Connie jumped as someone opened her door,
'Sorry I didn't mean to make you jump, I just saw you sitting like a lost dog and I thought you may like some company.'
Zoe turned to Connie offering her a cup of coffee,
'Thank you Zoe but I really should get in, paperwork, patients you know?'
'He's fine, I've just been to see him, well not find but stable atleast.'
'I haven't the slightest on what your talking about?'
'Jacob? trust me Connie news travels fast around that E.D, and I knew already, I could tell you both liked each other.'
Connie reached for the coffee cup from Zoe not knowing what to reply.
'Well thank you for checking on him, and thanks for the coffee, but I should really be going in.'
'No it's fine, I'll walk with you?'
Zoe looked to Connie waited for approval, Connie gave her a reassuring nod as she opened the boot grabbing Jacobs bag.
'Also you would never come to work dressed like that.'
Zoe said smirking down to Connie's attire of Jacobs oversized jumper and her gym leggings.
'Yeah well I was in a rush.'
Connie said as she felt her face go red out of embarrassment.
Connie walked in through reception feeling all eyes on her,
'Jumper suits you.'
Charlie said as he walked in next to Connie and Zoe, she heard Louise and Noel laugh to themselves beside her.
'Oh for heaven sakes, if it's that big of a deal I'll just go and put on a scrub top.'
'No it looks fine I was just messing, are you going through to see him?'
'Yes but I need to drop these in my office first.'
Connie said indicating they the paper work in her hands.
'Right anyway, I'm in a meeting upstairs, I'll see you all later, and Connie send Jacob my best wishes.'
Zoe shouted across from the stairs, instantly gaining more eyes to Connie. She gave Zoe a small nod as she walked straight to her office with her head slightly down, trying to avoid eye contact with everyone.
After dumping her paperwork in her office she diverted straight to Jacobs room hoping he was awake.
As she walked in she saw the man she loves lying unconscious attached wires, even though she'd seen this many a times this time felt different.
Connie put Jacobs bag into the cupboard next to his bed, she sat on the chair next to him holding his hand and bringing it against her lips placing a kiss on it.
'Please don't leave me, I can't lose anyone else, just please Jacob wake up. I love you.'
'Con, I'm not being funny but I've been through a pretty traumatic experience already today without you crying over me.'
'Your awake! and I see you haven't lost your pathetic excuse of a sense of humour.'
'Isn't that what you love about me?'
Jacob said to Connie winking at her.
'Well amongst other things.'
Connie leant towards Jacob placing a long, passionate kiss on his lips,
'I've missed you sweet cheeks,'
'what do you mean missed me? you've been with me everyday.'
'Yeah but I just want to be with you, go out with you, and maybe do other things with you... if you catch my drift?'
Jacob said smirking at Connie.
'Yes I do catch your drift, and so will everyone else if you don't keep your voice down.'
Connie said indicating the nurse who had entered the room, she gave Jacob a playful nudge on his arm.
'Owww, unless you forgot I almost died yesterday and now your trying to beat me to death, if me falling down some crevice wasn't bad enough?'
'Oh stop being a drama queen, they will most likely discharge you after tomorrow, depending on how you go, but I bought you some things anyway.'
'Yes I can see, thank you. Oh and is that my jumper your wearing?'
'Well I was in a rush, it was the first thing I could find, you dong mind do you?'
'Sweet cheeks your my girlfriend, of course I mind what's with you and stealing my things?'
Connie looked at Jacob shocked as he began to laugh.
'Your such an idiot, anyway I have more important things to do, I'll see you later if your lucky.'
Connie said winking at him,
'Bye sweet cheeks.'
'See you later muscles.'
