New beginnings

Sarah McClain gets out of the bus that leads you to downtown Washington DC. She was getting ready for her shift as a nurse. Well, she was a nursing student and she was proud of that. Her mom and grandma had both been nurses and wanted to peruse nursing to help others and put her "big brain " to use as her sister usually says to her. After the deaths of her parents she had worked numerous jobs to provide for her family. She was 28 years old. Young, impressionable and beautiful. However, men also took that as a weakness in her. They say she was too vapid due to her age and too plain. This made her angry, she wanted to prove them wrong, them all wrong.

Sarah pulled out her id to swipe it into the building. Despite it being an older hospital, it was technologically advanced. There were type writers and scribes everywhere to jot down patient information. She went to put her hot coffee down in her nurses desk and went back outside for some fresh air.

She stepped outside to see a young man, on the porch bench. She couldn't make out a face. He was hunched over. She decided to get closer, sometimes patients wait on benches she figured.

Jack looked up at her startled to see her. He was having a fever, chills and was sweating. He covered his face. He didn't want anyone to see him like this. And Sarah could tell. Jack started mentally blaming himself. That he should have taken his medication, he should have come to the hospital sooner. You see Jack could have made it but didn't have enough energy to make it all the way to the door. His car was parked in the parking lot, had he been 30 minutes earlier, he may had mustered the energy to make it to the front of the hospital.

Sarah approached him with caution.

"Hello, sir" she whispered in an attempt not to scare him. "I'm a nurse and I'm here to help you. Can you please tell me what your name is?"

"Jack Kennedy" he replied

She had no idea who that was. Maybe the only person in the whole of Washington DC who didn't know.

"Sir I can bring you inside, would you like that?"

Jack just simply nodded at Sarah and they both walked inside with Sarah hoisting the left side of his body up. She looked at him, he was a young man, why was he so ill? But then again, she knew as someone in the medical professions being healthy had nothing to do with age.

She was able to get a bed for him and called over a doctor.

"Well take care of you here, just relax ok?"

She took a paper napkin and patted his forehead down. She couldn't help but notice how cute he was.

As the doctor ordered more tests to run, Jack blurred out "I have Addison's disease". This is something that he didn't want people to know as it would surely ruin his political career had it go out, but it was a hospital and he trusted these people.

Jack was very dizzy and he laid his head down on the pillow in the bed. Sarah got closer to him to take his temperature, he finally noticed the shape of her mouth and her pretty brown hair. "What a beautiful face" he mummers. Sarah smiles as she takes his temperature. He didn't notice he said that out loud and blushed looking up at her. She too blushed as well.
