Chapter 4
I stand in the middle of the room feeling the glazing eyes on me and I start to blush in a bright red color.
˝ You might as well fuck the hell out of here!˝ Ethan spits at me.
Our eyes meet and I know he could tell that I was lost and scared. And he used that against me. I was like a lost puppy.
I tried to compose myself and tell myself that he is just angry at the world, not me. You can do this Emily! I tell myself not to know who I am persuading. He is just a boy. Relax.
˝So as Alex mentioned my name is Emily and I hope we can work together this couple of weeks, ˝ I say as I smile hopingly he warms up to me and talk to me like a normal person.
He justs smirks at me and puts his earphones in and starts listening to music.
˝Please don't be like that.˝ I start to plead but he just closes his eyes and ignores me.
Well, this is going great I think to myself as I'm debating on what to do next. He isn't ready to talk to me today. So I just look at his chart at the and of bed and write some things down. I ask him again if he would talk to me and he just turns away.
˝Well I guess I will see you tomorrow Ethan, ˝ I say as I walk out the door.
I close the door and exhale a breath I didn't even know I was holding. I see Alex walking towards me and I start getting anxious as I didn't do anything with Ethan he didn't even talk to me.
˝He is a handful, isn't he? ˝She smiles at me.
˝You could say that again.˝ I say awkwardly.
˝He is just a bit angry at the whole situation. He is nice I have known him even before the accident,˝ Alex says.
˝What happened?˝I ask.
˝It was a car accident.˝ She says looking at Ethan's door.
˝He lost one of his legs below the knee,˝ she adds. ˝He was pretty lucky to be honest...˝
˝Well enough of that. He will tell you more.˝ She smiles and I nod.
˝But what if he won't talk to me? ˝ I ask her with a little anxiety.
˝Well you will just have to work hard on that, won't you? ˝ She smirks at me.
As I look at the clock it is already 2 p.m. and today I got to work with a little boy who was born without hands and he was the cutes. We played some games and to help him use his prosthetic.
And then I helped Alex with some other patients and some paperwork.
As soon as I finished I drive to the cafe for my shift. Today Natalie isn't working and I am sad about that because time flys when she is there with me.
The manager asked me to stay late to clean something so it was already 10.30 p.m. when I left work and when I got home I was so tired I went straight to bed. Father wasn't at home for which I am thankful.
As soon as Iay down and close my eyes I was asleep. Not even setting the alarm for the next morning. That was I bad idea.
˝Ofcourse I overslept!˝ I panic as I hurry to get ready. I only have 20minuts to get there and get ready.
I don't at the mirror, I just brush my teeth as I am pulling clothes out of the closet. I brush my hair and put it in a ponytail and get dresses.
And I am parking my car in with 5 minutes to spear as I run inside. When I reach the main OT room I am out of breath like I had run a marathon. Alex gives me an amused look.
˝do not ask!˝ I say as I let out a small laugh of victory as I made it in time.
She looks at me like she is going to say something but decides not to.
˝Well I am off to my favorite patient!˝ I say sarcastically and let out another laugh. It is the second day and I am already making jokes, good for me.
˝ One step at a time!˝ She yells behind me.
I knock on the door and open them. I feel a gaze on me as I am stepping in. I look up and Ethan's eyes and mine meet.
He doesn't say anything he is just looking at me and today he is wearing pajamas well a stylish one that is. It is a black shirt and some black pants. But he looks awesome.
˝Good morning Ethan,˝ I say and he is still being silent just looking at me or more like staring at something.
˝I was hoping that today you would talk to me˝
˝do not feel like it.˝ He says.
˝And why is that˝ I try to keep the conversation going even if just for a little bit.
˝Because I just don't! ˝ He smirks at me.
˝Okay than˝ I say as I proceed to sit down on the couch.
I pull out my notes and start writing down some things, and then I pull out a book and started to read.
˝So you are just gonna sit there ˝ Ethan says with a little annoyance.
˝Yep..... I mean we can always talk,˝ I say with just a little satisfaction for standing my ground.
˝Why do you have a bruise on your cheek?˝ He asks out of nowhere and I am caught off guard but trying to not give any emotion away.
My hand automatically cups my cheek and the blood drains from my face, I forgot to cover it up today.
