Home is where the heart is (Berena)

Chapter One

With the blonde just landing back into the UK after being in Ukraine for several months, she got off the plane being greeted with the freezing cold air, The blonde sighed as she began to walk towards the airport to gather her bags, as it was 12:00am she thought it was best that she would get a taxi back to her house as she was too tired to drive.

Bernie arrived at the baggage area , she breathed into her hands to try to keep herself warm while she was wearing her white coat and a scarf,she couldn't wait to fall into her bed and have a decent night sleep.

Bernie finally received her luggage, she sighed with relief as she thought that she wasn't going to get her luggage back, she made her way to the front of the airport and saw a taxi in the taxi loading bay, and knocked on the window to give the driver the address on where she wanted to go before she got in the taxi. Bernie sighed as she looked out of the window while the taxi driver drove her back to her apartment which to her never felt like home.

Bern paid the driver and got out and collecting her things from the boot and walked into her apartment unlocking the door walking into the dark room, she dumped her suitcase and bags by the door while she threw her keys into the dish that was on the table just a few feet away from the door.

Bernie made her way to the bedroom after taking her coat and shoes off, she let out a sigh seeing the empty double bed, Normally when she would be home this late she would have Serena to cuddle into but as now she was back on her own she knew that she had to get used to sleeping on her own so she went and got her phone charger and her phone and plugged the phone charger plug into the wall before plugging it into her phone, she gently placed her phone onto her bedside table, she sat on the bed thinking if she wanted to have a shower now or wait till the morning, she looked at her watch seeing that it getting later so she decided that her shower could wait until the morning.

Bern got undressed and got dressed into a thin PJ top and some shots before turning the lights out as it was now 1am and got into bed getting comfortable before closing her eyes knowing that when she returned back to work it was going to be a long shift so she really needed all the sleep that she could get.

Serena was in her office, she was sat looking at her emails just to see if Bernie had gotten back to her, There was no reply to her emails. Serena sighed and closed the tab of the internet, she leant back into her chair she hadn't long come back from theatre. She looked over at Bernie's desk seeing how tidy it was which wasn't like the desk to be as there would be piles of patients folders that she would have to sign off.

Serena looked at the time on her computer it was now 1:45, she gave out a little yawn before reaching for her phone which was in her top draw, she pressed the lock button seeing that she heard anything back from Bernie again, which this was beginning to make her feel a little mad as she didn't want to carry on fighting for their relationship if it had turned into a one-way relationship. she just wanted a text saying that Bernie as safe or that she had moved on her, but there was nothing.

Serena decided to unlock her phone and went onto her messages , she tapped on Bernie's name and started to type out a text;

"Hey, I miss you" she typed out and stared at it for a few minutes as she was deciding on sending it to her knowing that she wouldn't get anything back. She sighed again before hitting send , it took a few minutes to send but once it sent it came up with delivered under her message.

As Bern was asleep she heard her phone but never checked it as she just thought it was an notification for her emails and for some of her apps that she downloaded. Bernie rolled over so that she was in the middle of the bed and was facing her bedroom window. Nothing would wake her when she needed a good night sleep, not even her phone.

Serena got up after logging off her computer and got her things as she decided it was time to go home as the AAU had gone quite ,  she walked out of the office turning the light off as she did and then locked it before heading to the  signing out area , she looked for her name before putting the time that she had left , she walked down the stairs and out the building going over to her car and got in, she put her stuff onto the passenger seat before driving back to her house.

Once she had got there she pulled up into the drive way and looked at the empty car park space next to her car, it was where Bernie would park when she came to stay over for a few days. She got out and went inside and dumped her stuff down in the front room and headed up to bed , she put her phone on charge then got changed into some clean PJS hat she had left on the bed ready for her to come home to, she got into bed and looked over at the left pillow , she couldn't stop thinking of Bernie, even when she tried to she couldn't erase her  from her mind because she was so in love with her, as she stared at the pillow where Bern would lay her head on she started to get tears that rolled down her face , she just wanted to hold her. It took her about half an hour to fall asleep as the time was now 2:30am, she fell asleep holding the pillow tightly like she did to Bernie if she had a nightmare about the army.
