Alexa's-O-V

I can't at these kids anymore. They are suffering so bad! I took the blood sample from another kid and sealed the passage carefully. He was really scared. There were other kids too, who were crying in stomach pain.

I helped the nurses in setting the IV bottles near the vulnerable dehydrated patients. Dr. Lynch was more amazing than I ever thought. For the last three hours of working with her, I knew she was tired but there she was checking on each patient time to time and running off to the lab to study the phenomenon alongside the pathologists and then she'd give a round to other cabins or sometimes, she'd call Dr. Reigns to discuss the issues. What I realized was, she was just as polite and patient with the kids as she was with her students and the nurses, even in this stage of crisis.

'Alexa.. Keep a check on these kids' temperatures. I think they are fluctuating slightly.' Dr. Lynch said guiding me towards the beds at the corner.

I nodded.

'And these kids are also having immense pains below their back too. I'll just bring in Dr. Orton to confirm if  that's some kind of renal infection. So, for some time, just think you are in charge, okay.' she said with a encouraging smile while patting my back.

'Sure Professor. Your trust means a lot. I'll do it.' I promised with a smile.

She nodded motioning the attendants to cooperate with me while she's out.

I went towards the kids. Their eyes were still sparkling amidst the pain. Their eyes were squeezed shut, perhaps, not wanting to feel the pains screeching their world of precious dreams. Even in their deplorable states, their faces had a glow, a glow of innocence, of hope, of a light never exposed to darkness. All I wish is they remain the same.

The thermometers had their reads fluctuating and that's what made us all worry. We kept on applying the compress on the forehands of the kids who were almost burning in fever. After thirty minutes, the dose started working and most of the children were able to get a good sleep.

I walked through the rows inspecting each child when a strangely familiar voice reached my ears.

'Becky!' He called peeking into the ward. Shit!

I stood on tiptoes trying to get a peek  towards the direction hoping my suspicion wasn't correct but.. Alas!

It was him! 'Be..' he tried to call once again but then his eyes fell on me and his expression changed to a weird one.

Shit! I should've stayed hidden but then again, I'm not Bayley. Why should I hide? I'm not scared of him. I just hate him, that's it.

'Dr. Rollins!' one of the nurse walked to him with a full beaming smile on her face. And yeah, I don't smell a healthy connection in the air!

'Hey Lollipop!' Dr. Rollins said throwing her a flirticious smirk, not caring the presence of me and two other senior nurses.

Ugh! Her name's Lola for God sake!

Lola bit her lips with a spark in her eyes. 'Dr. Lynch went to the Department of Nephrology to meet Dr. Orton. Can I help you with something meanwhile?' she asked battering her eyslashes.

Wait! If they even think of starting things here.. I swear God...

'Dr. Lynch has few samples to discuss with Dr. Orton. I don't think she'll return to this ward anytime soon.' I barged in the discussion with a sole aim to shooing the devil off.

Dr. Rollins' eyes shifted to me and he raised an eyebrow. 'Well well.. Hello Miss..' he pretended to remember.. 'Bliss..thanks a lot for the valuable information.' he said with a smug look licking his lips. 'I guess I'm gonna have to wait for her in here then..' he said with a bored look stretching his hands.

What!

'Oh sure Doctor..' the nurse Lola said pulling a chair for him instantly.

'Aww! Thanks Lollipop.' he said walking inside the ward. 'But, I'd prefer to stand and watch.' he said throwing her a visible wink to which she smiled foolishly again.

That is sick!

I shook my head and attempted to quit the drama and return to my duty. But..

'Hey Bliss..can you please bring a cup of coffee for me?' his words hit behind my head in such a execrable way that I didn't even understand whether I was just hearing things or he did want to prompt me to get a right hand on his jaw.

Calm down ! He's still your professor!

My hands balled into fists instantly and I carefully hide my expressions behind my back as I turned to see him smirking at me.

'Sorry?' I asked raising my eyebrow because I still wasn't sure he did order me to get him a coffee.

'Oh! Don't be.' he said walking near me with a scoff. 'Since the kids are sleeping and I'm here with the nurses, I just thought you can bring me some coffee to get me rid of this boredom.' he said pretending to yawn.

He.did.not.say.that?

'And do you think I'm your ser..' I was about to retaliate instantly but then my eyes scanned around the room where the nurses were looking at me surprised by my raised voice.

'I mean, if you think I'm free, than you're wrong Professor because Dr. Lynch gave me some duty and I can't defy her.' I corrected myself trying to be as polite as possible hiding the gritting of my teeth.

Dr. Rollins frowned. 'I'm sure Becky won't mind if I tell her myself!' he shrugged.

Seth's P-O-V

This little thing was doing everything to get under my skin. Why doesn't she just succumb?

I came here to see Becky after Dean called me. I guess she didn't return from the Department of Nephrology where I spotted her with Randy half an hour ago. And trust me, I was about to leave when lollipop, I mean the girl who sucks like a lollipop said Becky wasn't there but her tiny ass had to barge in and say insinuate me to leave. I mean, a student of mine little miss Bliss just asked her Professor Seth freakin Rollins to leave!

I guess she didn't learn her lesson from the lab the other day! No problem, I'm always ready to repeat my lessons for my students. And since It's pretty cold outside, I don't mind some coffee either. I smirked as I thought.

'And do you think I'm your ser..' she tried to retaliate as I asked for coffee but soon her eyes roamed across the room where people with no business were seemingly alarmed by the sudden raising of her voice. Her expressions changed after realization. Poor girl!

'I mean, if you think I'm free, than you're wrong Professor because Dr. Lynch gave me some duty and I can't defy her.' she said lowering her voice and trying her best to hide the gritting of her teeth.

Aww! Is the poor baby getting angry?

'I'm sure Becky won't mind if I tell her myself!' I said blocking the excuse she was about to place. 'Besides, there's me and the nurses here to look after the kids.' I added.

'But, Dr. Lynch trusted me with something and I can't leave the ward without her words.' she said pretty sharply.

Really feisty?

I chuckled. 'Don't worry! Becky isn't a person like that and I'm sure she'll understand if we all tell her..' I said motioning to the nurses all if whom threw smiles at me instantly.

'Yes Miss Bliss. Dr. Rollins is right. Don't worry, we are all here.' lollipop said.

'And in case Dr. Lynch asks, we are all here..' the nurse who has a skull inked on her pelvis added.

'See.. You won't have any problem.' I said pointing to what they said.

I could feel miss whatever Bliss was breathing heavily and looking anywhere but at me. 'Miss Bliss, are you there?' I asked leaning to her level and waving my hand in front of her sarcastically.

She nodded with sealed lips hiding everything running in her mind. 'Okay, I'll do it.' she spoke through her teeth looking up at me and I could only imagine her hands fisted behind her back.

'Cool.' I said smirking at her.

'Just to let you know, I prefer Latte.' I said as she started walking. I shook her head, perhaps, in frustration and resumed walking but I'm not done yet.

'Miss Bliss..' I called to stopping her on the tracks. She looked back with a look of surprise.

'I forgot to tell you, I love it with two cubes of sugar and lots of milk.' I added with a smile on my lips to annoy her to the maximum limit.

I felt her jaw clench. 'Shall remember that Professor.' she said composing herself and started walking away but..

'Oh yeah, ask them to draw a heart on it. I just love to see the heart floating for me.' I yelled after her.

Miss Bliss stopped but didn't turn her head. Her fists tightened and I could already imagine the look on her face and that alone gives me a lot of satisfaction. I somehow managed to suppress a laugh.

She must know never to mess with her Professor and especially when it's Dr. Seth Rollins.

'Hmm..' she said and started walking towards the door. But, when she reached the door...

'Wait..Miss Bliss!' I yelled chasing after her and she turned to face me with the dirtiest look possible.

'Umm..' I scratched my forehead. 'I just wanted to say don't take much time with the coffee. Because..' I smirked looking at her. 'I like it hot.' I said throwing a wink at her and by the look of her bulging blue eyes, I knew she missed her knuckles so much right now.

Too bad, I seized them.

'Is that it?' she asked with a clenched jaw.

'Uhh..' I pretended to think. 'Yeah, that's pretty much it.' I said with a big smile.

'Alright.' she muttered through her teeth and strided away as fast as she could, perhaps, fearing more additions.

Oh man! It makes me laugh so hard!

'And don't worry it's free for the Doctors. Just tell me it's for me.' I  yelled after her diminishing figure before bursting into laughter.

Alexa's P-O-V

'And how long is it gonna take?' I asked at the counter impatiently waiting for the coffee Dr. Donkey raping shit eater Rollins ordered.

'Just a minute ma'am. We are trying to draw the exact heart you asked for.' the guy said.

I sighed and nodded walking to the  table.

What am I doing with my life? Why am I doing this? And believe it or not, right now I'm getting coffee for the person who wants to make my life a living hell for his own sickening pleasure. God! Where have I arrived? I just wish, I had Dynamo with me right now. I would have screamed my frustrations off with his strings and that'd at least let me know how much my life is fucked up. Lyrics and tune were already playing in my head.

'I wanna taste your blood
Baby I wanna taste your blood
Every time I see your haughty smirk
The time I hear you bark
Baby I wanna taste your blood..'

As my mind drifted to another world, I realized my fingers were fiddling with something on the table with the tune. Ugh! Somebody left a pepper sachet on the table.

'Your coffee's ready Miss.' an attendant said placing it on the table. 'And it's just as you said, two cubes of sugar and lots of milk.' he added with a smile. I nodded with a fake smile.

Sugar my ass! I wish I could add...I shook my head to calm myself down and throw the stupid sachet on the nearby trash can but then....

Seth's P-O-V

'When you see the black clouds run
Through your window panes
Just feel..
And when the rain falls down
Just feel
If you ever see the sky growl
Just feel
Open your eyes and years
And just feel.. '

I sang for the little kid in front of me who refused to take the pills because he wasn't feeling cool about the alien environment and wanted to go home. The nurses surrendered but I had other plans and I suppose was lightening up the little soul.

'And when the nights arrive
Just feel..'

I added the lines acting like playing a guitar.

'If you see the stars
Just feel..' I sang earning a big smile from the kid who sat excited in his bed.

'And sing with me
And feel..' I added holding my hand like a microphone in front of him.

'And dance with me
And feel..' the enthusiastic kid added to the tune. Lollipop and the other too nurses were amazed by what they saw and looked at each other smiling.

'Now take the pills
And feel..' I added motioning to the one in lollipop's hand.

The kid nodded with a smile and took the pills lollipop gave him with ease.

'Now, get some rest
And feel..' I sang patting his head lightly and attempted to leave but the kid's face fell.

'Soon I'll be back
You feel..' I said ruffling his hairs and nodding to my promise.

He smiled wide and waved his hand at me. I did the same walking to the next bed which had an easier kid to handle.

After monitoring around the rows, I was really satisfied. The kids were recovering and I was happy the anti-virus was working really fast.

I looked around the ward where most of the kids were having the soup the nurses provided them. Since they could eat, it meant they were already half cured of the nausea. I smiled at the sight but soon, I felt a presence beside me.

'um.. Dr. Rollins..' I heard Lollipop's voice.

I looked at her to see an amused grin on her lips which complimented her flirticious looks.

'You know Doctor, whenever you sing..it touches me right here..' she said pressing somewhere on the exposed top portion of her left breast where she mistakenly thought her heart was.

'And I feel like ripping off everything I have..' she said biting her lower lips and literally trying to rip of her shirt in front of me.

Woah! Not here babe..

'Well, thanks Lollipop. I'm glad you like it.' I said not trying to provoke her  more right now.

Actually that's the problem with majority of the girls. You sleep with them once and they'll think of more. Come on! This lollipop was just worth a one time experience and I fucked her only because I had a bet with Randy.

'No problem doctor but I really look forward to listen to you alone sometimes..' she said in the most seductive tone.

I smirked knowing what she meant but I had an apt reply for her too but..

'I've got your coffee.' I heard a voice that claimed by attention and there she was.. Little miss Bliss with my coffee mug in her hand.

A victorious smirk creeped up into my face.

I walked near her and with my every successive step, the eyes tended to become darker and her face expressed a look that made me so proud for taming an arrogant bitch of a student.

'Wow! Thank you Miss Bliss. That was on time and..' I smirked at her touching the mug.. 'I bet it's still hot.' I said and took the mug from her hand. But, just as I looked down at the art, my eyes frowned.

What the fuck!

Oh! I get it now.

I lifted my head and gave her another smirk much to her dismay.

'So, you decided to give me a broken heart, eh?' I asked half smirking.

She looked at me indifferently. 'I guess a broken heart floats better.' she said showing some of her sassiness.

I bit my lip and scoffed. She doesn't know when to catch a break from being stubborn, does she. Well, since I got my coffee, I'll just let it pass. Besides, the broken heart looks good.

'Thanks Miss Bliss, you're indeed right about the broken heart floating better' I said looking at the mug again. 'Now I guess you should stop floating around and check if the patients are eating well.' I said indifferently.

'Sure Professor.' she nodded and started walking away but looked back at me again and strangely enough with a smile on her lips.

'Enjoy your coffee Professor.' she said and turned to walk again.

What was that? I shook my head and took my first sip of the hot coffee and..choked immediately..

WHAT THE FUCK!

Alexa's P-O-V

I stood beside the bed of a kid but my eyes were now on Dr. Donkey raping shit eater Rollins who was about to take the first sip into his special coffee.

He took the cup near his lips and I assumed he took the sip and it reached his tongue and...

He choked on it.

Yes! Plan worked. I did add pepper to his coffee and it obviously didn't give him the taste he wanted. If you want to know what made me brave enough to try that on my Surgery Professor and not being scared about getting suspended, it's because as much as I've learnt about him in these days, he's someone to likes to stand as a hero to his associations faking a picture perfect 'Mr. Desirable' persona. Someone like him would never feel proud sharing the tale of his coffee being manipulated by a new student. So, I took a chance.

I felt him biting his tongue to get rid of the unexpected sensation and I had to bit my inner cheeks hard to suppress a chuckle. But, then I felt him turn his eyes to my direction with utter rage..

He looked at my direction and by the clench in his jaw, I knew that he knew it. I looked at him innocently with a smile. Our eyes locked and he picked the mug to his lips again while keeping his eyes on me and..

Omg! Did he just took the second sip?

I can't believe this guy! He's so full of ego! But, I guess now he knows that I'm not Bayley or James and he did pick on the wrong student.

He kept his eyes on me and took the third sip.

Aww.. His tongue must be burning right now! I can't hold my laugh any longer.

Anyway, let him enjoy his coffee. I've had my revenge already. I looked away and went to the next bed but through a peripheral vision, I saw him take another sip and this time he couldn't hid the burn in his throat and had to clear this throat louder.

'Doctor, you're okay?' I heard the nurse Remi getting to his aid.

Yeah, give your hero some water.

'No. I'm fine. Thanks.' he said and the extra slash in his voice was evident. I couldn't help but spare me one last look.

Damn! His eyes were all red and glossy as well!

Did I do too much?

Not at all. I've had conflicts with my teachers in my school too and I did even worse of few of them. I returned my concentration to my duty in feeding the patients without IV. Soon, I was too engrossed to realize when Dr. Rollins left and when Dr. Lynch came back.

***two hours later***

'Alexa!' I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Dr. Lynch with a smile on her lips.

'Yes Professor!' I said. 'Anything I need to do?' I asked.

Dr. Lynch smiled and shook her head. 'No Alexa. Nothing else. You've done a really good job today and we are really proud of you. I just came here to say that the kids have recovered to a great extent and I think you should take a leave now. The shift of the nurses are changing too and I'm leaving in 30 minutes too.' she informed.

'Oh!' I said and ran my eyes on the patients.

'You're sure I can leave?' I asked Dr. Lynch again.

'I'm absolutely sure Alexa. And thank you again.' she said with a sweet smile.

I nodded. 'Just my duty Professor.' I said and ran my eyes on the patients again. They've already started chit-chatting with one another. I smiled.

I guess I can leave now.

I signed out of the ward and walked to the empty hallway exit but my steps hauled when I saw Dr. Rollins leaning his  back on the wall as he typed something on his phone with one hand and held the coffee mug in the other.

What the fuck! Why is he still holding that coffee mug?

'Oh hey!' he said as he saw me haulted and flashed me a smile. What's going on?

'So, you finished your duty at the perfect time!' he said looking at his wrist watch.

I don't know why but an uncanny of his presence surrounded the air.

I nodded. 'Yeah and I'm leaving now.' I said attempting to walk but soon, to my disbelief he blocked my way. I gave him a frowned look.

What's wrong with him? He smiled again.

'I know.. You're tired Miss Bliss and you do want to leave but..' he scratched his forehead, 'It's just that I wanted to thank you for the amazing coffee.' his smile turned to a smirk now and I didn't know what to expect.  My eyes fell on his mug now and it was still half-filled.

Was it the same coffee? Or did he got another for himself. Of course, it had to be a new one. I kind of ruined his first chance.

'Well, you already did thank me for that Professor.' I said reminding him. 'You remember how you loved the broken heart.' I said controlling a chuckle.

Dr. Rollins scoffed. 'Oh yeah, that was for the art and right now I want to thank you for the coffee itself. It was hot and it was amazing Bliss.' he said. 'And I have a very special way to thank you for that.' he added.

I was pretty confused. This entire conversation was a confusing one, especially when I saw how angry he was on me after his first sip.

'Special way?' I asked raising an eyebrow.

'Mhm but..first of all, tell me, do you have an extra apron for tomorrow's class?' he asked walking more closer and I saw a darker shade in his eyes as he lifted his hands and his fingers traced the Shield logo on my apron.

I was surprised by the sudden touch and didn't realize the probable repurcussion of the faint 'no' I uttered to him.

'Cool, that'll help you to think and reconsider your arrogance peacefully for next two days.'  he said and soon his expressions changed to a darker one and in his all senses, he poured the remaining amount of coffee on my chest.

I gasped not believing what just happened. I looked at Dr. Rollins who threw the empty coffee mug away on the floor breaking it into pieces.

My blood boiled and before my mind could react, my hands did as they rose up in supersonic speed towards Dr. Rollins' face but only time be caught mid air by the devil himself.

Our eyes were on each other throwing venomous glares.

Dr. Rollins held my hand tight as I struggled to get it off his strong grip.

'I warned you enough little girl.' he hissed on my face. 'Don't show your attitude to me. Your parents sure couldn't tame your feisty ass and get enough sense into your brain but I would love to teach you the manners you're supposed to show in front of your Professors. And after what you did today, you sure deserved this lesson.' he spoke with a gritted teeth looking at the stain on my apron before throwing me off his grip onto the floor.

I was breathing heavily as I looked up at the eyes burning in fury. There was no sound around us except the angry breathing sounds of the two of us. My eyes fell on my now stained apron.

Dr. Rollins looked down at me one last time. 'You're lucky, I waited to get it  cold.' he said before turning around and walking out towards the exit.

I stood up clutching to my apron. My skin beneath already felt sticky and the burning sensation was pricking me. I looked around bewildered and rushed to the nearest washroom.

*****

I

took off my apron off and tried to wipe the remains stuck to my tank top beneath it. My skin burnt due to the affect of the pepper and my eyes stung as the napkin struggled to do its work properly. I looked up at the mirror to see the streams running down my face. They weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of humiliation and determination, wrath and vengeance.

No. I don't cry. Crying is for weaker people. I'm not weak.

I wiped the tears off my face and sighed. Believe it or not, this was the biggest humiliation I ever faced in my life.

I felt few people gathering inside and I composed myself further. When I felt, my top looked presentable enough, I decided to walk out of the washroom.

I walked towards the exit thinking only one thing.

I'll never forget or forgive you for this Seth Rollins and I'm going to give it back to you soon and this time, I don't care if you are my Professor.

'Alexa!' I heard a familiar voice called me from behind. 'Alexa wait!' I heard James say as he neared me.

I turned at him to realize he had a big smile on his face and was counting few bucks inside his wallet.

'What's that James?' I asked curiously. 'And where's Bayley? You two were supposed to be in the same ward, right?' I asked.

James' face seem to fall at the mention  of Bayley.

'Well, Alexa actually.. Bayley, she..she left after..' he paused giving a sorrowful look.

'After?' I asked surprised. 'James, what happened to Bayley?' I asked suddenly getting concerned.

James looked down. 'Alexa..that grumposaurus Dr. Reigns..he shouted on us and especially on Bayley. He called her someone who's not meant for this profession and all and..she was crying and she walked out without a word.' he said.

My eyes widened.

'What? But, why did Dr. Reigns shout on you two?' I asked more confused on the fact that Bayley left crying and James was all smiling and counting bucks.

'Actually, we..we were just talking when the patients slept and he didn't like it and he was pissed off and..' I cut James off.

'When did that happen?' I asked trying to know the exact time Bayley left.

'Like two and a half hours ago.' he said.

Oh no! She must be crying alone at the dorm.

'uhm.. You know Alexa, Bayley indeed was unlucky today.' James said suddenly. I frowned in confusion.

'After she went, Dr. Reigns was all good with us and even gave us few bucks to have something to eat. The nurses got their shares and I have mine and Bayley's with me.' he said pointing to the one in his wallet. 'He isn't that bad actually.' he added.

Honestly, I had no interest in knowing who was good and who was bad. Especially today when I could relate how Bayley must be feeling. While I went vengeful, she must've felt broken.

Poor girl!

'Okay James, I need to rush now. Bayley must be feeling lonely.' I said and started walking fast.

'But, Alexa, why are you carrying your Apron this way? I mean, why aren't you wearing it?' James asked noticing it.

There was no way, I would share what happened today with James or Bayley. They think of me as their strong friend who cannot be subjugated by anyone. I just can't let them know I failed.

'I spilled coffee on it.' I lied.

*****
6 hours later

I paced around our little room anxiously as Bayley's phone seemed switched off. It was sleep time and Bayley hadn't returned yet. I didn't realize but my heart was beating fast.

'Alexa, I think we should call the SWC and they can call the respective departments and let us know if Bayley is assigned to some duty.' the girl Natasha from the next room said.

My experience with the SWC on the first day was enough for me to unhear the proposition of calling the SWC. But, where was Bayley?

'She's right Alexa. They often ask students to work overtime during emergencies. The SWC keeps a note on that.' the other girl Shelley said.

I sat on the bed defeated. 'I don't know guys but I don't think she's called.' I said.

There was fear lurking inside me and all I could think about the probabilities a crying Bayley could go through.

Did she lock herself in the hospital restroom?

Did she jump of the roof of the hospital?

Is she hit by a car?

God! Where are you Bayley? My phone rang suddenly and a spark of hope made my heart jump.

Alexa: Yes Bayley?

Unknown : It's your mom Lexi.

Alexa: Oh (silent)

Mom: Lexi, why don't you receive our calls? Me and your Dad were so worried..

Disconnected

Like all other day, I did not want to speak to the people who made me live the life I'm living today.

'Who was that?' Natasha asked.

'Nobody.' I sighed. 'I think I should call the SWC. Do you have the number?' I asked. Since we don't have to deal with Dr. Rollins last, I don't mind calling them.

'Yes I have.' Shelley said. 'There's a land line number and a mobile number.' she said.

I called the landline number and it didn't connect. I guess I should go for the mobile number. And after three rings, somebody answered.

Unknown (male): Hello!

Alexa: Hello! Is this the SWC?

Unknown: umm..

Alexa: Look, it's urgent. My friend is missing from the dorm and she hadn't returned from the hospital today. Can you please..

Unknown: Wait, what? You mean your friend didn't return..

Alexa: No. She didn't. And she isn't from here either. Please help us. (impatiently)

Unknown: Wait hold on! Don't panic sweetheart. Just, tell me her name, year and enrollment number.

Alexa: Yes, her name is Bayley Martinez, Clinical 1st year, enrollment number..

Unknown: Wait! Bayley! The girl with glasses and a ponytail who freaks out in every next minute?

Alexa: ehh.. Yes but do you know her? Is she assigned to some duty? (hopefully)

Unknown: (sighs) I appreciate your concern for her darlin but I feel the girl must've pulled onto some misery all by herself and..

Alexa: Hey! You can't just talk like this about my friend! (annoyed)

Unknown: Woah relax babe.. I just meant she must've messed up something herself because no student from 1st year of the clinical phase are supposed to be at the hospital at this moment.

Alexa: Oh no! (screams) What now?

Unknown: Ugh! My ears! By the way, where are her friends? She must be with them. The chinless dude and little miss Bliss?

Alexa: (pause) Who are you?

Unknown: Excuse me! You are the one who called me to know about your friend Bayley and.... (getting serious suddenly)..... You!?

Disconnected

'Urrrrrggghhhhhhh' I screamed my heart out trying my best to rip my hairs off my skull. I can't believe I've been speaking to.... Ugh!

'What did they say?' Shelley asked me curiously too confused by my behavior.

I took a deep breath.

'Whose mobile number did you give me?' I asked her nonchalantly.

'Well, that must be of the President of SWC.' Shelley said releasing the last wire holding my nerves.

'Out of my room.' I simply said.

'But, Alexa..' Natasha said.

'I said out of my room..now.' I shouted glaring at them.

The two looked at each other bewildered. I still glared at them angrily.

I felt them step away slowly.

'Can you believe it, we just came here to help.'

'Oh my God! They say it right. This girl is retarded as hell.'

I heard them mutter.

I laid back on my bed in frustration. If she isn't in the hospital, where has she gone?

Where are you Bayley?

**Next Morning**

Knock Knock!

Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock!

Shit! I jolted up from the bed where I collapsed out of frustration last night and finally fell asleep worried dead about Bayley.

Talking about that.. Bayley!

I jolted up from the bed to respond to the knocks. My heart paced in anticipation of many positive and negative probabilities but then..

There she stood in her hospital attire from yesterday rubbing her eyes with the back of her head. Omg!

'Bayley!' I barely muttered.

She walked in not meeting my eyes but I couldn't hold it any longer and hugged her immediately.

'God! Where have you been? You know how worried I was?' I said resting my head at the crook of her neck with lots of emotions.

I pulled off and looked at Bayley. She was in a state of indifference. She looked same yet different as she stood frozen in the middle of the room with undetectable reaction. It seemed she was in a state of shock herself. I was confused. Where has she been the whole night?

Her hairs were disheveled which meant she must've fallen asleep somewhere. Something very weird struck me.

'Bayley, where have you been last night?' I asked as calmly as I could but trust me I was at unrest.

'Bayley!' I tapped her shoulders slightly when she didn't react.

Her gaze finally met mine. 'Alexa!' she took my name and this time pulled me into a hug.

What's going on? I could feel her shiver and something about her said she was not in a normal state.

'Bayley..' I pulled her off me. 'What happened to you and where were you last night? You know how worried I was and I had to call Natasha and Shelley and even had to call the person I never would've called in my life!' I said getting impatient now.

Bayley looked at me and now she seemed scared and it seemed she just came back after committing a crime.

'Alexa.. I.. I..fell asleep on..' she stuttered. I frowned. 'D..the bench.' she said.

'What? Bench? Which one?' I asked more confused.

She cannot be this dumb, can she?

'The one..uhm..the one near the fountain. I was watching the red, blue, green streams and.. ' she said.

Really!

'Ugh! Really? You.. If all place.. How could you be so..' she cut me off.

'I'm tired. Can I please sleep now?' she said suddenly in a pleading tone.

I felt disgusted. May be the donkeyrapingshiteater was right about her. She messed herself up and I was the one skipping the dinner.

I gave her a death glare.

'Fine. Get your bed.' I spat loudly making her gasp. She nodded slightly and went to her bed.

What have I made out of myself?

I opened my locker and took Dynamo out. It's just morning. I guess the world would be silent around my secret hideout with Dynamo.

I went out of the dorm.

'I actually don't hate Dr. Orton's classes but I don't think I'll take it in specialization.' James said as we got out of our Nephrology classes.

'I've already decided. I'm gonna go for Pediatrics provided things go as they are.' I confessed.

'Wow! And I suppose you're obviously interested in working under Dr. Lynch.' Bayley guessed.

I smiled. 'Yeah, that'd be my first preference.' I said. 'Dr. Lynch is awesome.' I said.

'Yes and she's so pretty. Is she dating Dr. Ambrose?' Bayley asked suddenly.

'No. No. They are just best friends. Dr. Ambrose is single.' James confirmed with sudden urge.

Even I heard Dr. Lynch and Dr. Ambrose live together but of course James knows better.

'You know I'll go for Psychiatry.' James said excited looking at two of us. 'It really excites me.' he added.

'Oh really! We had no idea.' I said and Bayley chuckled.

'Come on guys! You are so mean!' James said annoyed. We chuckled louder. 'What about you Bayley?' I asked amidst the laugh.

'umm.. I love Pediatrics but right now, I'm getting interested in Gynecology too. So, I'm still not sure.' she said with a smile.

Mhmm.. And I do know the reason of your interest too.

'Cool. Let's hope all if us gets what's the best for us.' I said.

Bayley and James nodded with a smile.

We walked to the cafeteria and the memories of yesterday hit my nerves.

'I'll have coffee.' Bayley said excited.

Ugh! Not coffee again.

Seth's P-O-V

I finished my round in the wards and walked towards the OPD where I had few patients today. I was in a good mood today after something amazing happened this morning and I wasn't even feeling tired.

'Seth!' Randy's voice stopped me. I looked back to see him walking with a smug look on his face.

'Hey!' I gritted him.

'So, you seem happy! Was the new attendant that good?' Randy asked throwing a wink.

I smirked shaking my head. 'Not bad but not good either. Anyway, did you bring my 50 dollars?' I asked reminding him of me wining the bet.

'Yeppp..' he said popping the P and handed me the bucks.

'Damn! That was an easy pick.' I said shoving the money in my pocket. 'How about you going after the Cardiac receptionist next?' I gave him his new task.

'You mean, the tanned brunette!' he asked raising an eyebrow.

'Yeah, small boobs, big butt.' I identified.

Randy smirked licking his lips.
'Panties or tape?' he asked the proof I wanted.

'Panties are easy shots. I want a tape now. Hundred dollars for that.' I winked.

'That's not fair. Tape and hundred. At least five hundred for that.' he argued.

'But, the girl seems easy. Two hundred at max.' I proposed.

'Fine. Get them ready Sethie boy.' Randy said with a confident smirk.

I scoffed. I know he'll loose it. He always fails with the tape thing. He gets panties but then again it seems doubtful sometimes. I'm glad I got to save two hundred bucks.

'Are you heading home now?' I asked Randy.

'Yeah. Just finished the class with Clinical, first year. I'm kind of tired. I'll come back for the night shift.' he said. I nodded but than I remembered something.

'Well, Clinical first year.. Was Bayley Martinez there today?' I asked remembering the call from last night.

'Bayley.. Is that the girl with a ponytail and glasses?' Randy asked raising an eyebrow.

'Yeah, the one who lives in the other world.' I confirmed.

'Oh yeah. She was. But, why? You're interested? ' He asked raising his brows. 'She's got a big round ass though.'

Seriously!

'Cheap!' I commented. 'I was just asking because I got a missing report about her last night.' I said.

'Missing what?' Randy burst into laughter.

'You bet.' I said sighing and joined his club of laughter.

In case you're thinking, why am I concerned, let me tell you it would be a big thing if somebody goes missing this way and I'm not as big as a jerk I seem. As the President of SWC, I am responsible for that and moreover, I never had issues with that girl Bayley. She seemed obedient enough unlike few people around her.

Over!
