THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 100's. I Will Be Okay 2
"On the ward depressed me like a sick man. I'd better be here."
"You are sick. Look at that head of yours. You think you can work? James will scold you all out. You don't know how worried he is, when he got into the ER he scolded everybody. Until Noah had to take over the handling because he was too emotional."
"really?"
Maybe he thought I had something serious going on when I fainted, we had a difficult journey, there was no adequate lighting, I fainted half as likely because it was a minor trauma, others were purely exhausted and cold. That explains why he also scolded Andrew yesterday, he was just too worried, even though he had been quite calm before.
"She said she forbade Andrew from seeing you? There was almost a commotion last night?" Susan apparently heard about last night.
"You've heard of it. James is just worried too much I guess. This is my own carelessness."
"I agree he scolded Andrew, ..." Susan said her opinion. "Andrew is a bit late sometimes.
"It's no use that we're talking about, I've intended to forget it. I'm up there to forget it too." My words made Susan and Mary look up.
"Yes, we're not going to talk about it anymore." Maria smiled sympathetically at me. And then we started telling you about the blueberry ice cream we were going to get because I got the blueberries. Susan replied with pleasure. While I'm sharing with them the blueberries that Maria brought.
I'm glad I had a friend to talk to this morning. They will soon have to be on duty.
Someone knocked on the door.
"May I come in." Apparently Andrew. Would he want to get beat up by James again if he knew he dared to be here.
"Andrew, that,..."
"You good?" He's in now.
"I'm good. It's okay..."
"We'll just go, I'll have to go in the morning shift." Susan is inching away.
"Sorry yesterday James scolded you, he was just too worried."
"No matter what I deserve to be scolded, I accept it. I deserve that anger. How you feeling?" I smiled bitterly at her words.
"I'm good, a lot of people take care of me here. It's just banged up anyway. Not something to worry about."
"As James says I'm guilty of this."
"Of course, we've talked about this before. Maybe I will avoid you some time later. I need time to forget. That's it, so maybe you won't have to show up in front of me later. So you don't get a raw bogem from James either. I'll be fine."
"You can always ask me for any help, you know that."
"Yes, I know I won't blame you. You know that too. We can be friends, later after I can consider everything normal again. Now we better avoid each other. You're gonna get beat up by James again if you try to talk to me."
"Yes I know."
"You gotta go, if James sees you here he's really gonna beat you up."
"I'm really sorry." He looked at me with his guilty look.
"That's it. Just avoid me for a while. I'll be fine. Thanks for yesterday. Go, you've got a lot of work to do."
"All right, I'm leaving. Get well soon."
I smiled at him. I don't know my feelings are mixed I think seeing her figure. She disappeared behind the door, I sighed.
Yeah, well, at least James's still thinking about my blueberries. There's blueberry ice cream tomorrow. It wasn't so bad, I just had to be patient waiting for this taste to disappear.
Be patient. There are times when you will be happy again.
