1 year later...
Life couldn't get any better right now. I had finally managed to bag myself a job at the local hospital. 1 years had went by so fast I hardly had anytime to think. I didn't really think about the time I spent in NewYork well I tried not to think about it about him but no matter what he always made his way into my head every damn day for the last year. I hadn't been back to that place since but my dad kept to his word. Every 3 months one of the MC would turn up and stay the weekend. I would get worked up in case Blaze showed up on my doorstep but he never did and everytime I would feel hurt and disappointed. I guess he really was done with me but then again I chose for it to be this way.
Sitting in my office I glanced at the clock on the wall. 9. 30pm I had 15 minutes before I had to do my rounds and then I could finally go home. 14 hour shifts were slowly killing me but I loved my job and was very good at it.
"Dr. Mendez" April, one of the young nurses popped her head around the door.
"What can I do for you April?" I asked locking Blaze back up in the back of my mind.
"Do you mind if I go a little early tonight? I have do pick up my son from the childminder".
"Of course April, tell little Charlie I said hi" I smiled
"I will thanks".
April had worked here for almost 6 months now. Fresh out of college and looking for a job, she reminded me of myself. She was one of the few nurses that had a brain and we seemed to get on like a house on fire.
Leaning back in my chair I grabbed the photo of my desk of me and my mom on my graduation day. I missed her like hell but she belongs where she is and I couldn't take that away from her. Smiling to myself I put my photo back and got up.
Leaving my office I cursed under my breath when I saw Adam coming my way. Another doctor from the hospital that had been trying to get in my pamts since I started. The guy just doesn't take no for an answer.
Putting on a fake smile I held my clipboard closer to my chest. Don't get me wrong he was a nice enough guy he just didn't take the hint that I would never date him.
"Evening Ava" He spoke as he approached me.
"Hi adam" I smiled checking the time on my watch. 20 minutes and I'll be home chilling on the sofa with a glass of wine.
"Still doing those 14 hour shifts I see. You must be knackered" He laughed.
"What can I say I love my job. No time to chat tonight. I have my rounds to do then I'm calling it a night" I said
"When are you going to let me take you for a drink Ava?" He grinned
See what I mean he just doesn't get it. Okay time to let him down as gently as I can. "Listen Adam you're a really nice guy but I'm not really looking for a relationship right now sorry" I said watching the grin fall from his face.
"I see. Well if you would stop walking around here like a constant cock tease I wouldn't be asking you out every night. You give all the right signals and then turn me down. The day will come Ava" He snapped before storming of.
Feeling a little shaking up I went about my rounds as normal. I couldn't wait to get out of here I was just hoping Adam had already left. Heading back to my office I grabbed my bag and jacket before heading out.
Looking around the car park I noticed there was only a few cars left Adams included. Hopefully he was still inside, I didn't want to deal with him having another dig at me. Why he thought I was a cock tease I'll never no but I was not giving him any signals to come onto me.
Taking a deep breath I made my way over to my car unlocking it as I went. The car park at night always gave me the creeps and it didn't help that it was surrounded by trees.
Approaching my car I was just about to open the door when a hand was placed over my mouth.
"You know you want it you little slut"..
Fear took over my body and in that moment I was frozen on the spot. Feeling his hands slid down my body reality kicked back in and I panicked. I was about to be raped. Struggling in his arms I tried to scream. No this couldn't be happening.
Spinning me around gave me the opportunity to scream. Feeling the sting on my cheek my hand automatically covered it.
