The Nightmare Outside My Window

{ Harlow }

I stepped inside the hospital receiving all glares from nurses, doctors, and even patient. What the hell I did? I made my way to the cafe so I can get my coffee and start this day off happy.

"Hey Harlow. I'm glad your back"one of the doctor's I work, Dr. Roland, said.

"It's good to be back"I said with a smile.

"You know, Michael changed the rules. Whoever comes late will be suspended without pay"he said.

"He made changes when I left?"I ask.

"Yes. So many unnecessary changes. Like, doctor's can't have a relationship with their nurses"Dr. Roland said.

"Well, I mean you can't have a relationship with the nurses"I said.

"Like a friendship relationship"he said.

"Ohhhh, I get what your saying"I nod my head. "I don't know what's wrong with him"

"How's the baby?"he ask.

"He's fine. With my mom while I work"I said.

"What about Michael? He ain't with him"

"No. I don't want my son around him"I shook my head.

"Is everything alright between y'all?"he ask.

"Uhhh, I don't want to tell all my business to you"I said. Dr. Roland chuckled nodding his head.

"True"

I order my coffee with my Muffin. The lady told me the price of my coffee and muffin. I was about to take out my money when Dr. Roland put his own card down in front of me.

"I'll pay for it"he said. I smiled at him and nod my head. I don't mind.

"Thanks Dr. Roland"I smile.

"It's Maurice"he said. "Call me Maurice"

"Okay Maurice"I said. I grab my stuff and walk out the cafe being greeted by raja. "Woah speed demon, what's wrong?"

"It's Michael"Raja said. "He's looking for you"

"What?"I looked at her strange.

"I heard him in the lounge saying that he was gone kill you if he don't see his son"raja said. "Harlow you have to go"

"What's going on?"Maurice came over to us.

"Hey Dr. Roland"raja waved at him.

"Maurice it's personal"I said.

"If it's dealing with Michael. Maybe I can help out"he said.

"Wait, you know about Michael and his issues?"raja ask Maurice.

"Not really but I can see he have issues between Harlow"Maurice said. "Can't let that get between work"

"I'm trying not to"I said. "Come on raja, let's get to work"

"How can work when his ass is around planning some shit"raja said.

"I have something for his ass"I said with a smirk.
