C8 Rude is another name for Anton Wood

"" I was just checking Mr, Wood because Dr, Tory was in surgery and she told me to attend her patient."

I walked around the bed and handed Dr, Hale his file.

" Mr, Wood is woke up suddenly when I got here." she looked at me suspiciously.

She looked over Anton and said, " Mr, Wood Do you feel any weakness or pain?"

" What happened to me? what am I doing in the hospital?"

" You don't remember anything? Dr, Hale ask Anton. He looked again at me and I was horrified that he is gonna say that I'm the one who did this?" I begin sweating so bad and tried to hide behind Dr, Hale.

" No! I don't remember what happened?"

I titled my head behind Dr,Hale to see him and I wasn't believing what I just heard?

" Mr,Wood yesterday you got into an accident and you sustain some injuries Nurse Lilian saved your life."

" Injuries?"

" Yeah, you sliced your forearm and you have a dislocated shoulder but you don't need to worry about, you'll be fine with the help of medication and rest."

" How long it's gonna take? his friend asked Dr, Hale.

" Maybe 4 to 5 months it's depend on the recovery process and taking care."

" Four to five months? but I have a race coming and I need train for it." Anton said.

" I'm afraid Mr,Wood you can't do race for 4 to 5 months you need to take rest."

I could see the frustration on his face and the guilt was over taking up on me.

I couldn't meet his eyes and nor could I help him.

" Doctor can I talk to you for a second alone? his friend said to Hale. Dr, Hale nodded and she turned towards me and said, " Nurse, Lilian would you check Mr, Wood blood pressure and temperature?

" Of course, Dr Hale." I couldn't refuse to her because it's my duty and she handed me the file back.

She left me alone with Anton and I place the file on overbed table.

Next, I took the sphygmomanometer and sat down on the stool next to his bed told him to straight his arm. He straight his arm. I begin checking his blood pressure and he was so quiet.

" Your blood pressure is normal." I said but he didn't react.

" Do you have any pain? still no sign to say anything.

" Look, I'm sorry to hear it but it's just a race."

He turned his face towards me, anger was oozing out of his eyes.

" It's not just a race for me, it's my life, my life, my everything and you didn't even know how hard I work for this moment? and everything is slipping out of my hands and I can't do anything."

" I know, I'll never understand what you are experiencing right now but you can find something positive in this."

" What positive? nothing is positive in it and who are you? you didn't even know me and how could you say things like that to?

" I'm sorry, if I'm talking to much but I'm just trying to make you feel better."

" WHO ARE YOU TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER? ARE YOU MY GIRLFRIEND? NO! ARE YOU MY FRIEND? NO! DO YOU KNOW ME? NO! THEN WHY YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER? AND IF YOU ARE DONE YOU CAN LEAVE ME ALONE." he bite my head off.

My eyes were burning with hot tears but I managed to control my tears and didn't looked at him. I simply just checked his temperature quickly then I got up from the stool and walked up to the table and note it down on his file.

" Are you not going to tell me? he said.

" tell what?"

" Do I have temperature?"

He peer at me and I just simply said, " I'm not a doctor or if you wanna know ask your doctor not me. Get well soon."

I gyrate around and made my way out of the room. My tears finally fell from my eyes and I clutched the file against to my chest and didn't see his friend coming straight coming in my direction.

We crossed path and he looked at my face, tears falling from my eyes uncontrollably. He didn't say anything like he knows what occurred to me. I wiped my tears off and left his file on the nursing counter and quickly made my way to the elevator.

I took elevator to go down and straight went in to the nursing lounge and locked myself in the toilet room.

I sat down on the toilet seat and burst into tears.

" How arrogant he is even worst then Sean? what did I did do wrong? I was just trying to help him to make him feel better but he doesn't deserve sympathy... bloody hubristic."

I rolled down toilet paper and blow my nose with it.
