The Flac Story

Chapter 1

"So, Fletch you finished with those patient notes, yet" Jac spoke.

"Well yes actually i have finished them Ms Naylor" Fletcher spoke.

"Really that makes a change, Mr Fletcher" Jac spoke. 

"Oh does it really make a change" Fletch spoke.

"Yes it makes a change as you usually take all ......owww" Jac spoke.

Jac's answer was cut short as a wave of pain hit her, hard but she didn't want anyone to know that she was in pain, as she believed it made her seem weak. Jac stood still trying to disguise the pain breathing through gritted teeth.

"Jac, what's wrong" Fletch asked.

"Nothing that involves you, Mr fletcher. It's just a bit of ..... oh my"  Jac replies.

Jac touches her stitches very carefully, bring her hand to where she could see it but no one else could. Jac saw blood all over the tips of her fingers, Jac mutters under her breath to herself 'no, no, no this cant be happening, not right now, not in front of the worst person possible he'll think I'm weak.'

"What is going on, Jac what's up with you" Fletch asks, worried about you.

"Never you mind, Fletcher" Jac replied.

The blood has now flowed onto the shirt and has been absorbed, it can now be seen from the outside of the shirt.

"Is that blood, Jac. Are you bleeding please talk to me, Don't lie to me" Fletcher spoke.

"Why do you care all of a sudden, and don't tell me what to do. IM THE BOSS ON THIS WARD!" Jac spoke.

"Jac I don't care all of a sudden I have always cared about you, I was not telling you what to do just asking you to talk to me and stop lying to me" Fletch replied.

"Why do you not have better things to be doing instead of caring about a heartless, cold woman like me ...... Fletch get me a suture kit NOW!" Jac asked.

"Jac you need more than a suture kit, you need a theatre and you can't do it yourself so let me help, please" Fletch spoke.

"Why can't I do it myself .... I need to go to my office everyone is staring at me, Mr Fletcher"  Jac spoke.

"Ok Jac I'm coming" Fletch spoke.

Blood dripped onto the floor as Jac walked to the office followed closely by Fletch. Fletch grabbed a suture kit as he followed Jac to her office. Fletch enters the office closing the door behind me and taking a seat on the sofa beside you.

"Can't you do it in here, do I really have to go to theatre" Jac asked.

In Jac's office there is spots of blood all over the floor and a large patch of blood on the sofa where Jac is sat.

"Ok lie down on the sofa then if you want me to do it for you, so you don't have to go to theatre" Fletch spoke.

"Ow Fletch that hurts will you be more careful, you said you cared about me but you don't seem to be showing it" Jac spoke.

"Ok I'm sorry for hurting I didn't mean to hurt you and I do care about you Jac a lot. Here take this it should reduce the pain" Fletch spoke.

"Can't you sedate me or something until it's done, because it still hurts Fletch, but I guess if you can't this is better than theatre where everyone would know what is going on" Jac spoke.

"Ok you don't move an inch ill be back, ill just go get you a sedative" Fletch tells Jac.

Jac lies extremely still while Fletch goes and gets a sedative then comes back locking the door behind him on his way back in. 

"Quickly Fletch I think I'm bleeding out ...."  Jac speaks.

Jac passes out. Fletch quickly administrated the sedative and sutures the wound shut. Jac begins to come round from the sedative, she is still lied on the sofa and Fletch is sat in her chair behind her desk.

"What ....... what happened" Jac asked.

"Jac it's all done the wound is closed but you passed out before I had chance to administer the sedative" Fletch told her.

"Thank you Fletch but I should really get back to work, where's my patient" Jac asked.

"It's ok Jac but you shouldn't be working you need to go home and rest not stay here working all hours" Fletch told her.

"I have to work Fletcher, I'll work in my office from now till at least the end of my shift. I will just do admin for the rest of today" Jac told him.

"Ok but nothing more Jac I don't want you over doing it and causing yourself more damage" Fletch spoke.

"Not like its your problem if I over do it, does this have to go in my notes on my file" Jac asked.

"Yes it will go in your notes on your file if you come out of here and interact in any way with any patient" Fletch told her.

"INTERACT so I'm not even allowed to communicate with them or talk them through there surgery" Jac spoke.

"Ok but Jac please, please take it easy, don't go pushing yourself to hard" Fletch spoke worriedly.

"Thank you Fletcher" Jac replied.

Fletch goes back to working on the ward with patients but Jac stays put, working in her office until the end of her shift when she went home.
