Me And My JJ

44

Anaya's P.O.V

I walk in through the door and flip on to the sofa
"How was college?" My mum asks
"Ugh it's so boring" I complain and my mum laughs

"I'll be upstairs" I tell my mum before walking to my room
I throw my bag to the side of the room and sit on my bed. I lean against the headboard.

I grab my phone and ring Harris
"Hey" he answers
"Hi, are you free?" I ask
"Yeah why?" He replies
"I need a lift to the hospital I have work" I tell him
"I'll be there" he says

I thank him and hang up. I put on a pair of joggers and a hoodies and then some vans. I wrap a black scarf around my head and put my glasses on. My makeup is neutral anyway so that's fine.

The door knocks and I hear someone open it. Before anyone can say anything to him I grab my phone and handbag and run down the stairs

"Hey" I say breathlessly, damn I need to get more healthy
"Hey shall we go?" Harris asks and I nod
"Bye mum, I'll be home by nine" I tell my mum and she nods her head

I sit in the car and Harris looks at me.
"What?" I ask
"Why are you wearing tramp clothes?" He asks
"Because I have to get changed when I go there anyway" I tell him
"Into what?" He asks
"My uniform" I say in a duh tone

He starts the car and drives me over to the hospital. He pulls up and I don't get out the car.
"Erm don't you have a job to get to?" He laughs
"I don't wanna go" I pout
"You get paid for it, of course you wanna go" he says rolling his eyes

"I do but I don't but I do but I don't" I say quickly and he laughs again
"What?" He asks
"I want to go but I hate seeing people so ill" I tell him
He holds my hands and looks me in the eyes,
"How can you be such a bitch but so sensitive?" He asks and I laughs
"Honestly I don't even know" I say shrugging

I undo my seatbelt and he kisses my forehead before I get out the car. I say goodbye and watch him drive away.

I walk into the hospital reception area and sign in and then make my way to the changing rooms. I grab my clothes and go into a cubicle. I put my uniform on and tuck my hijab into the collars. I put my normal clothes into my bag and put my bag in my locker.

I make my way to the kitchen and plate up the food that's been made for the patients. I pour some soup into plates and add a piece of bread. I pour some apple juice and put them on each tray.

Okay first, the main course. I drop them off to each patient and then go back down to the kitchen. I start plating to the dessert which is a shortbread cookie, some ice cream and fruit.

As I go to each patients room, I take away the dirty plates and replace them with the new plates of dessert. I go back down to the kitchen and clean up the dishes from before. After that I grab a trolley and wheel it over to the rooms and grab the empty plates.

I go back down and wash the plates up before walking to the laundry room. I get some clean sheets and go around the rooms.

When I reach my favourite patients room I smile.
"Anaya!" She smiles warmly
"Hi Mrs Ahmed" I smile at the fragile old woman in front of me
I don't really know her from anywhere but I've become quite attached to her since I've been working here. She's just so nice and she's different from all the other patients.

"Can you help me up?" She asks
"Yeah give me a second" I say before putting the trolley to the side
I walk over to her bed and give her some help. She gets up and I help her to the bathroom. While she's doing her business I change her sheets and fluff her pillow. I help her back onto the bed and tidy her room up.

"Thank you" she says as I walk out the door and I shoot her a smile

"Hey Anaya?" One of the other worker calls me
"Oh, hey Chloe" I smile and she smiles back
"The patient in room 306 needs their sheets changing" she tells me
"On it" I say and walk towards the room

I walk into the room and realise it's a bit stuffy and I can tell the patient isn't feeling so cold. I open a window and turn around to help the man.

Wait, this room.
It's for cancer patients.
Who is this man?

"Anaya?" I hear a croaky voice
Oh my god.
