Beyond the Silence (Nyle Dimarco fan-Fiction)

Chapter 3

Selena

I finally get a day off after being on for ten straight days. I am beat and my bed is calling my name. Starting Monday I will get a sabbatical for six whole weeks. I am super stoked. I am finally getting much needed sleep. My phone rings the ringtone for Charlie. Damn it, damn it, damn it!

"Hello." I answer annoyed.

"Sel," Charlie starts to say.

"What Charlie, What!?" I get snippy.

"Sorry Sel but Jana and Monica called out sick."

"Call Sonya."

"Dr. Jordan only wants you. It's top secret. I can't tell you yet."

"Damn you Charlie! I hate you!"

"Nah sweet girl you love me."

"Yeah I do. But right this second I hate you. Be there in twenty.

I drag myself out of bed and jump in the shower. I look in the mirror and see an exhausted person staring back at me. I have bags under my eyes which I cover with concealer. I pull my long brown wavy hair in a high pony-tail. I throw on my scubs and my black clogs. I go into the kitchen and grab a Tupperware of leftover spaghetti and toss it in my bag. I write a quick note to my cousin.

June Bug,

Got called into work see you later tonight or tomorrow morning

Sel

I go down to the parking garage and get into my red Mini-coop. I head in the direction of my work. I am so grateful that it is only five minutes away in car. I walk into the hospital and find Charlie giving a quick overview of each patient. He sees me and shakes his head and points to his office. I nod at him and head to his office. I walk into Charlie's office and see my Ex Jacob siting in there. I roll my eyes.

"Sel," He begins.

"Selena."

"I always called you Sel."

"Only the people who truly care and love me call me Sel. You lost the privilege when you cheated on me." The door opens and Charlie walks in and sits down in front of us.

"Play nice Sel." Charlie smiles. "You too Dr. Jordan."

"Why am I here Jacob, oh I mean Dr. Jordan." I say.

" I have a VIP patient and I cannot trust anyone anymore. Ever since the incident with Marie and Justin Bieber." He says. I giggle remembering the incident. Marie gave Justin a sponge bath and she wasn't even working that day. "Not funny Sel."

"Selena! Yes it was funny as hell." I laugh.

"It totally was." Charlie laughs.

"Ok. Fine Jacob fill me in." I give in.

"His name is Nyle Dimarco. He had an emergency appendectomy last night. He is deaf. I know that you understand sign language."

"No! I only know a tiny bit." I say.

"You'll be fine. We have a medical interpreter if you need it. Just sit with him and take his vitals and check his bandages every two hours. We set up a desk for you in his room."

"Ok let's head over to his room now." I say.

"Do you know who he is?" Jacob asks.

"Yeah, I've seen him on TV. He is gorgeous." I say and Charlie nods enthusiastically making me smile. Jacob rolls his eyes at us and I stick my tongue at him and laugh.
