Lost? Chris Martin fanfic

Chapter 16

I wake up at 5:30 without my alarm for once I look over at Chris sleeping peacefully next to me, I gently remove his arm from around my waist, I get up and stumble to my wardrobe. Last night I forgot to sort out my speech and outfit, I quickly decide on a black pencil skirt, with a burgundy top, and black heels. The put my hair into a twist and clip it, I apply my basic makeup, foundation, eyeliner and mascara.

Once I'm ready to go I creep into the kitchen trying not to wake Jonny and Guy who had decided to sleep in the living room, Jonny on the sofa and Guy on the floor, Will had beaten them to the bed. They both look really calm, I grab a granola bar from the cupboard and write them a note,
Hey guys, I had to go to work early I forgot to mention I have this presentation thing, which I forgot to plan, wish me luck.
Help yourselves to food or whatever I should be back at 6, see you later.

Just as I'm about to open the door I hear someone whispering my name, "Millie?" It's Guy he is half sat up looking at me with sleepy eyes, "Yeah, what's up Guy?" He rubs his eyes before answering, "Where are you going at this time in the morning." I turn around to be facing him properly, "I have to present this thing, to all the staff in the hospital and I haven't prepared it at all I don't even know what I'm gonna say, so I was gonna leave early and plan it at the hospital." I sigh I really should have done this last night.  "Do you want me to help you do it now?" Aw that's pretty cute that he is offering, "Don't you want to go back to sleep?" I feel bad if I make him help, "I normally wake up at this time," I thought I had woken him, that's a relief. "Ok if you want, thanks Guy. Do you want a cup of tea?"

We manage to finish the whole thing in an hour, it's now 6:30 and I need to set off because the briefing is before people's shifts start, "Thank you so much Guy, I don't know what I would've done if I just turned up without planning it. Now I just have to face my fear of public speaking." He chuckles, "I hate public speaking too!" I check the time, "I'm so sorry Guy I need to set off to get there in time, thank you so much for the help." I put my cup in the dishwasher, "Your welcome Millie. Good luck!" I wave as I leave the apartment.

I get in the car and put A Head Full Of Dreams on I love this album. I arrive at work with some extra time to practice the speech. I hate public speaking. The briefing hall fills up quickly at 7:45, Dr Williams gets on the stage and makes me stand with him, "Okay people, you know why you are here, yesterday A&E was chaotic and unorganised which meant that we weren't giving our patients the best care we could give, which is just not good enough." His normal friendly tone was gone, his tone was stern and intimidating, "Luckily for us Dr Baker has made a protocol for everyone in A&E to follow." He gestures at me to take over I nod and begin, I basically just said to everyone what I had said to Dr Williams yesterday, everyone agreed it is a good idea and it will be put in place immediately, I feel really accomplished.

After the briefing I get changed into my scrubs and grab my stethoscope, scrub hat and jacket, and head off to rounds. The patients are all here from yesterday, they are all in good shape and should make a full recovery, just as I am leaving my last patient I get paged to A&E, I run there as quickly as I can and see Olivia who calls me over, "Hey Olivia, is everything ok?" She looks pale and nervous, "Hi Millie. U-um there's thi-this guy here, I-I think he's drunk but he is demanding to-to see y-you, he says he will start k-killing people if y-you don't go." She looks completely terrified, who the hell could it be? "What does he look like?" "H-he's tall about 6'4 blonde," this better not be who I think it is, if it is I can defend myself because after the accident I got some basic self defence lessons, they are basic but better than nothing. "Go and tell him I'll be there in 5 minutes." I run to Dr Williams' office, I tell him that there is someone here who might be armed and is dangerous, I tell him to get police here ASAP. It's time to face the biggest demon from my past.

I go back to Olivia, she tells me where he is and I go to him. In front of me stands the evil son of a bitch who made my life a living hell, his eyes are glazed over, he staggers towards me. "How did you find me?" I try to sound confident, "Well Dr Baker, or should I say Joanna, you were a difficult little bitch to find you know?" I flinch when he calls me Joanna, I changed my name when I moved to the states so he wouldn't find me. "You need to leave." I try and remain calm, "I DON'T HAVE TO DO SHIT FOR YOU!" He bellows at me, before I can reply to him he swings his fist at me, because he is clearly drunk I dodge it easily, next he tries to kick me, I grab his foot causing him to lose his balance, he falls down but grabs my ankle making me fall as well, I wasn't expecting the fall, and before my reflexes kicked in he punched me across the face, hard. I feel blood trickle from my cheek and my eye begins to swell. Bastard! "Leave here now Mike! Or I swear I'll-" I'm interrupted by his laughter as he sits there laughing at me, he swiftly grabs something from his pocket before slicing it through my thigh, it's a compass, he's using a maths tool to cut me, what the hell. The compass rips my scrubs and the skin across my thigh, he raises his hand to do it again, but is stopped by someone putting handcuffs on him. It's
Brad.
