Break the Chain

Is that jealously I sense?

I SAID IT BEFORE, AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN... I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! (Y'all sick of me yet?)

You guys were so supportive of chapter 7 after I expressed my hatred for it. I also got some love about how my story is body positive. I was honestly kicking myself in the back of my mind because I thought I wasn't doing it ENOUGH. Like I said on tik tok. Flip would simp over us ANY DAMN DAY.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

God dammit.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

You shut your eyes hoping to God someone was going to stop that fucking IV pump.

Beep. Beep. Beep

Your fingers were now rubbing at your temple.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

You stood up from your computer. You were trying to catch up on documenting... guess that wasn't happening right now. You walked out of the nurses station and walked down one of the many halls of the ER, searching for the source of the beeping. It took a few twists and turns, but you found it. You grabbed a flush out of your leg pocket and carefully flushed the patient's IV, trying not to wake them.

When walking back to your computer you ran into Sharon, another nurse in the ER with you. You heard her shout your name, while running towards you with her arms out.

When you two finally collided in a hug she swayed you back and forth. It was a moment before she let you go.

"I feel like I haven't seen you in forever girl!!" She was trying to hide the excitement in her voice.

"Been a busy few weeks." You smiled towards her. She was always in a good mood.

"Girl, don't even tell me. I'm exhausted!!" You watched as she rolled her eyes, making you laugh.

"What have you been up to?" You questioned. She started going off about the interesting cases she's been getting since being in the trauma hall. You listened, nodding your head every once in a while. She was one of the few people you genuinely liked in the ER.

It was a few minutes until she took a breath.

"Anyways! Do you wanna see something juicy?" She grabbed your wrist, already pulling you down the opposite direction of the hall.

"What is it?" You said through a laugh.

"Lauren. Bless her heart. She's trying to get some." You were glad Sharon couldn't see your face as you rolled your eyes. You've been trying your best to avoid her since the last time you saw her in the elevator.

You two came to a stop when you came around a corner. Sharon rested her back against the wall and nodded her head towards the other end of the hall. All you could see was Lauren's blonde hair being flipped. You had to physically stop yourself from complaining out loud when you heard her angelic laugh echo through the halls.

You then felt your stomach drop when you saw who her victim was. You thought you were going to be sick. There he stood in one of the many flannels that you loved so much.

Flip Zimmerman.

You stood next to Sharon against the wall crossing your arms, letting her hide you. You couldn't help the jealousy clouding your mind.

"She's trying way too hard. He's not interested at all." Sharon was making you feel slightly better, without even knowing who he was to you.

He did seem uninterested. Not keeping eye contact with her at all. Looking for someone to save him...
