Neil pov

1 year since Audrey's death. Exact one year. I just remember what I did in the past year. She wasn't there it was a blur. It was coming home and breaking something in frustration that was the first month. Slowly, I just got to terms with it. Anytime, I was free off work I would go visit her grave.

And free time was really rare I was the chief of surgery now. I was at home buckling my belt and I came across the photo of me and Audrey which was taken In residency. With both our tongues sticking out. It was after a tiring day.  I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I took my mind out of the memories. Audrey was gone. She was dead. My first love was dead. My colleague was dead.my girlfriend was dead. The woman I imagined my life with was dead. Its funny how you meet someone and they play so many roles in your life and when they are gone you feel like a part of you is gone.

I stopped thinking of her and made my way straight to the burial ground where her body was buried. I knew after work I would be exhausted to visit so I woke up early and all to visit her.

Soon, I reached her grave.

                            Dr. Audrey lim
                   She died of septic shock cause of an earthquake. Dearly missed by her colleagues. She is with her child who was miscarried.

I dont know why Audrey wanted that written but she just did. One and only Audrey lim she was unique.

I put the flowers on her grave and made my way to the hospital.

After entering, a nurse told me Dr. Glassman wanted to see me so I went to his office.

Dr. Glassman. I say as I knock on the door.

Yeah, Melendez come on in and take a seat. He says.

I get in the room and take a seat as he said.

What happened? I ask.

How are you holding up? He asks.

I am good Dr Glassman I dont need anyone I just need to be focused on work to push feelings away. I say.

Not focused. You have been overworking yourself the past year. I am sure you haven't been broke down once. He says.

He was right. I was overworking myself with all the administrative work, meetings and surgeries. He was also right about not breaking down I just buried myself in work the day after her funeral and the days before too I was coming to work. I thought all that I wasn't saying anything.

I know what you are thinking. Take some time off neil. You need it just think it over. He says.

Think over what Dr. Glassman. I had to go to that Fundraiser not Audrey I was exhausted so she volunteered to go and died. She saved me. It should have been me. I say.

Just go home. He says.

I go to my car, then home and cry my heart out lying down on the bed.

Hey, I know its short and late. But I just didn't have time to write. I know this felt rushed than the other two parts. I am sorry for that. But aftermath of a death is not exactly what I wanna write. So, send me requests. I hope you all get it. I dont like let it affect me but it is. So, yeah I am not gonna rewrite this for a while I will rewrite someday later.
Love,
