My Parents My Patients - DC Next Generation

Chapter Eight

I walked toward my office,passing the lunch room. "Hey,Olive. Come sit with us!"Charlie called,waving. I looked over at the table he was sitting at,he was sitting with Adam and three new doctors that started this year. But there was someone I didn't know at the table,she had her head down and black glasses. Then I saw him and froze,'No. Nono no.'I thought,trying to move but I couldn't. He turned back to face me,hunger in his eyes,"What a way to meet again Francine."he said,his trade mark smirk across his lips. I bit my lip,"Ya know what Charlie,I'll pass. I have a lot to do and I got given the Joker so yeah. But you're guys could come visit if you want. Except Quinton. He stays right where he is and doesn't come anywhere near my office or set foot in it."I said and quickly turned on my heel,walking to my office. I opened the door and walked in,shutting the door behind me and locking it,I slid down the door. "Where did I go wrong? Why is all of this happening in one day?"I screamed,so loud I didn't hear the quiet knock at the door. I broke down into tears,"Olive are you okay?"A quiet voice said through the door. I slowly picked myself up and opened the door,there stood the girl with blue hair and Dr Felicia. "P-please come i-in. "I stuttered out,wiping the tears out of my eyes. The two girls walked in,I pointed at the seats,"Please take a seat."I said. They nodded and sat in the seats. I sat at the back of my desk,"So how can I help you Dr Felicia. I don't believe we've met."I said turning to face the girl with blue hair,"I'm Olive,Olive Francine Quinzel."I smiled a little. She looked up at me,he bright purple eyes catching mine,"Hi,I'm T-Taya. Taya Arkham."she said. I smiled turning back to Dr Felicia. "Well,we just wanted to know if you were okay,you made it very apparent that you didn't like Quinton."she said with a smile,it looked so familiar. "Oh-Um. Quinton and I have a history together. I don't like him much because,well.."I trailed off,averting her eyes. "Oh you don't have to tell us if you don't want to."Dr Felicia said. "Oh no that's fine,I feel like I can trust you both no to tell anyone."I smiled,"So paint a picture in your head of high school sweethearts."I started.

Flashback
It was the day of my fifteenth birthday and I arrived at school,walking up the steps and waiting at the top. Quinton and I always met there,with Fletcher,Amber and Kelly. Fletcher and Amber turned up about five minutes after,we waited and waited and waited for about ten minutes,Kelly and Quinton didn't show up. So we decided to go look for them,when we couldn't find them,we just assumed that they weren't coming to school and then the bell went so we went to roll call. After that I met up with Amber again and we walked to math,when we got in the room we saw Quinton sitting where he usually does and Kelly sitting at the front. I walked up and sat next to Quinton and Amber walked over and sat next to Kelly. Quinton turned to me and asked,"Hey Francine,how has your morning been?"
To which I replied,"Not bad. Better now that you're here."i didn't know what would happen next. During the whole lesson,when he thought I wasn't looking,he would mouth stuff like 'Love you.' and 'She's just a muse.' in Kelly's direction. I ignored it,getting on with my work. Then at recess I was sitting with Fletcher and Amber,again waiting for Kelly and Quinton. We decided to go try to find them,we did eventually. But not the way we thought they would be. They were behind one of the buildings,Quinton had Kelly pinned against the wall,kissing her. Kelly wasn't struggling,she wasn't doing anything to stop him,she just kissed back. I felt tears stinging my eyes,I just turned on my heel and walked away. I sat down back at our table,Amber and Fletcher soon joining me,the tears ran down my cheeks. When the bell went,I tried to fix myself up the best I could,I walked to my next class which I had with Quinton. He came over to me,"Hey. Sorry about not showing up and hanging with you guys,I was busy."he said,standing next to me. I bit my tongue,"Oh. That's alright. We didn't do much anyway."I said,trying to not look at him. "What happened Francine? Why were you crying?"he asked. "Oh. I just hurt myself,that's all."I lied,as we walked into the classroom. At lunch I sat with Fletcher and Amber again,Quinton comes over and sits with us,Amber glaring daggers at him. "What's up Lily?"Quinton asked her,she just shook her head and looked back at her food. I was sitting next to Fletcher,I just looked at him with disgust. "Francine,what's wrong with you? I thought that you were okay."he asked him. I got up and walked over to him,"Stand up."I barked. He flinched and stood up. "How dare you. How dare you cheat on me Quinton Myles. And with one of my friends to."I yelled,attracting attention. "Francine,please just listen.."
"No,I'm sick of listening to you,you listen to me. I caught you at recess,you were behind a building,kissin Kelly."I pushed him and he fell over,"You're a rat Quinton. I can't believe that I dated you. We're through,finished. I never wanna see your face again."I screamed and stormed away. I left the school and started to go to med school and studied as a psychiatrist.

"And that's why I hate him. I can't stand him and now I have to work with him."I said. Dr Felicia just looked in disbelief,"I'm so sorry."she said,I checked the time. "Guys,I have to get to my next patient in ten minutes. So sorry to cut this short but we'll talk some other time."I said. "Bye Dr Quinzel."Dr Felicia said,standing up and leaving. "Goodbye Olive."Taya said. "Bye Taya."I said as she walked out the door. I lied to them,I have twenty minutes till my next session,I just break down into tears,I can't believe I'm stuck working with my ex.
