Bittersweet

Chapter 1

The room from the previous patient was empty. I worked at St. Burt's for a month now, I was hired as an intern.

"I'm here." I shouted into Melony's office.

She was a little bit older than me I am 18 she is 20. We could relate to each other though. She had been working at St. Burt's for about a year now. I grabbed the sign in sheet from the top of the desk, and wrote my name in bold letters .

Claire Grace.

I put the cap back on to the pen that was attached to the desk. I was headed to the restroom to change into my work clothes. I had forgot to set my alarm clock and by the time I woke up it was time for me to leave for work. I opened the door of the restroom not paying attention to my surroundings. Which would of been useful if I did. I opened the stall and locked it as an natural instinct. I took my uniform out of my backpack.

It was a plain white nurses outfit. To me it was atrocious. I started to think about how I couldn't love my work anymore than I did now. The patients were cooperative, and most of them didn't talk back or scream. I put my things back into my backpack. I unlocked the door and opened it with my knee, I was trying to get my zipper unstuck.

I finally got it to budge. I looked up ready to head out of the bathroom when a tall guy with curly brown hair wearing all black was standing at the sink. I stopped walking and ran back into the stall before he noticed me.

"O shit what do I do?" I thought to myself

I thought for a brief second and decided to confront him, it was weird for a guy to be in the women's restroom. I unlocked the stall once again. I cleared my throat making a loud noise on purpose. He turned around. I immediately forgot what I was thinking of. He was lovely.

His eyes were a green brown an he had full soft pink lips. Every feature on his face was perfect. He was wearing a beanie his curls peaked from the hat and fell onto his forehead. I snapped out of my fantasy world and back into reality.

"Umm." Was all I could say.

He smirked and a dimple popped out from his rosy cheek. My heart melted.

"Excuse me I think you are in the wrong restroom."

He looked at me from head to toe and laughed. He scared me so I grabbed my bags and saw in the corner of the restroom there was a urinal I felt so embarrassed. I headed straight to Melony's office.

"Hey Claire." She greeted me with a warm smile.

I immediately asked her if she had seen a talk guy with brown curly hair wearing all black.

"I haven't seen him, why?" she asked with concern

"He's just a little bit rude."

"How did you two meet."

I paused for a second. Then I let out the words

"I accidentally changed in the men's restroom."

She stared at me for a second and then started laughing. I turned red with embarrassment. Luckily to save me the lady at the front desk called me over so I could get my task for work today.

I headed over to her desk. Mrs. Davis needs to see you on floor 13. My heart immediately stopped for a second.that was the floor where the mentally incompetent stayed. I headed straight for the stairs so it would take longer to get there. I was dreading every second that it took me.

I finally reached the 13th floor and looked at the sign posted on the door:

Staff only allowed.

I opened the door and made my way down the hallway it was quiet except for the faint sound of screams from some of the rooms.
