Rose's P.O.V.
I got to work and went to the locker rooms and saw no one in here. I sighed and began changing. Something didn't feel right. The air felt thick. It felt like it was choking me almost. I grabbed a water bottle and drank it quickly as I tried to not get carried away with my thoughts. I changed out of my tights and into my scrubs and put my short hair into a small bun. I walked outside and saw Cassandra come in. She looked kind of .. scared.
"Cassandra? Are you okay?" Her eyes grew wide but she nodded.
"I'm fine." She said, obviously faking a smile. I didn't want to press the matter any further so I just nodded.
I walked towards my usual spot when I was early and leaned against the wall. All the usual nurses came soon after and Bryce came to us before he unlocked the doors.
"Okay so starting today we're going to do things differently." He said, causing me to raise my eyebrows.
"We'll unlock the doors but allow them to wake whenever they do, we are going to just have the food waiting for them and they will no longer have numbers on there doors, it'll say their names so we can remember easier." He said, I nodded and laid my head back. My nose was still hurting and I really didn't want to be here.
"Hey where's Alyssa?" Elaine said.
"She said she's going to be coming in late." Bryce said quickly. I didn't really pay much attention and waited for Bryce to unlock the doors. The noise was loud as the doors unlocked so most of the patients woke up on their own. A few were still asleep and I didn't really pay attention.
"Rose you're in charge of breakfast. Stay in making sure everyone's got their breakfast once everyone's got their food you can leave." He said sternly. I nodded and walked to the kitchen.
I quickly got the plates ready and was surprised with how fast I got the plates ready. I smiled at myself, satisfied and waited as little by little the patients came. I noticed Ricky was the only one who hadn't come so I waited. I wanted to run to his room to make sure he was okay and that he didn't do something to himself. I was about to run out when I bumped into someone. Justin.
"Oh I'm sorry." I laughed dryly. He smiled and nodded.
"Its okay. I just came to check on you."
"Check on me?" I laughed even though my eyes were probably wide.
"Your nose I should say. Does it still hurt a little or?"
"Oh yeah I'm fine. It only hurts a little, my roommate gave me some painkillers last night and I'm feeling better." I nodded.
"Okay thats good. Oh I also wanted to ask you something." He smiled as he looked down.
"What is it?"
"I was going to ask you if you're free this weekend?" He said looking up into my eyes. I didn't know what to say. I didn't really like Justin like that, I mean he was attractive, okay very attractive but I just-
"Rose?"
"Oh um no I'm free I think." I said and soon Ricky walked in.
"We'll talk more later." Justin said and walked out.
"Well good morning Richard." I smiled.
"Morning." He said flatly. What the fuck did I do? Was it because of Justin?
"What's up with you?" I said, crossing my arms.
"Just tired." He said and grabbed his plate and a water.
"Okay I've seen you when you're tired and you're never this grumpy." I laughed quietly.
"Whats it to you if I'm "grumpy" or not." He said, putting air quotations at the word grumpy.
Now I was really going to laugh. "Its my fucking job Richard."
"Whatever." He said and walked away.
"Are you going to tell me what you needed to tell me?" I said before he was fully out the door. He stopped and sighed, turning around to look at me.
"Somewhere else. They might think I'm doing something to you if we stay in here longer." He said and walked out. I noticed it'd look like it hurt for him to walk. Did something happen to him after I left?
I walked out and followed him but just as I was about to sit with him Justin stopped me.
"Hey Rose, so about this weekend?" He said. I looked at him and sighed.
"I think my roommate and I were going to do something this weekend." I lied. He looked down and nodded.
"Well we could always hang out after work?" He said, still looking down kind of.
"Yeah I guess so. I walk home sometimes so we could hang out then." I nodded. He looked up at me and smiled.
"Alright then. Its a date kind of?"
"Its a date kind of." I smiled and walked off. Ricky looked pissed off and was smoking a cigarette. He was glaring hard at me and I gave him a confused look as I walked towards him. The closer I got I realized he wasn't glaring at me but someone else.
Once I sat across from him I turned around to see who was he glaring at. There were a few people where he was standing so I couldn't tell who he was glaring at.
"Richard are you okay?" I said, tapping his shoulder. He winced and looked at me.
"I'm fine." He said and continued smoking. Ricky had barely touched his food, but his water was almost done.
"Then why did you wince?"
"Because I'm sore." He said, clearly lying.
"You sure thats why?" I said, pushing it further.
"God dammit what is up with you today?"
"What's wrong with you today? I haven't done anything to you but yet you're acting like a fucking prick." I spit. He sighed and put his head back.
"I'm sorry. Its just I can't fucking stand this place." He sighs again, reaching for another cigarette.
"So what's going on? Why are you in pain and what did you need to tell me?"
"Well.. I'm in pain because I got 10 whippings yesterday." He said quickly.
"For what?!" I practically screamed.
"I uh I followed you and Justin yesterday and because it was in Ward C Bryce saw me and said I wasn't supposed to be there and took me to his office where I got 10 whippings." My eyes grew wide at that.
"Why did you follow us?"
"I wanted to make sure you were okay." He said quietly. He grabbed his water and drank the rest of his water.
"I'm going to go put my tray away and get another water." He said, standing up.
"I'll go with you." I said and followed him. He threw his food away and put his tray away in the trash since it was the styrofoam trays.
"Okay so what did you need to tell me." I said, hoping now he'd tell me.
"I- I remember everything again."
