I'm 23, I'm a nurse and I'm just an ordinary girl ! As many people I hated school! But one day, I didn't expect that my boring life change� and it happened like that�
* 6 years ago *
", hurry up!! The lesson is going to start and you know the teacher!! So�" screamed , my best friend because I was still at my locker.
We were running when I noticed 4 boys talking not far from us. I supposed they hadn't lesson at that mo. One of them caught my eye. He was tall, had hair and eyes : gorgeous in fact! And I hadn't noticed him before! His friends were also hot! They had seen me staring at them because I preferred looking at them instead of having lesson with this awful man that I had for English's teacher!
", we are in a bit of a hurry!! So please! What are you staring at? You seem strange" said .
The bell rang. Finally the end of the day. Before going I had to go to my locker. came with me. Arrived there, she said teasing me
* A month later *
* 's POV *
I was deeply and truly in love with him. I didn't stop looking at him. He saw me doing that but I didn't care. On a Tuesday afternoon I came home from school. Before studying I had decided to check my mails. I got one. I didn't know the address but I began reading it : "Hiya, how are you? I noticed you looked at me at school and I was just wondering why? (I had got you address by a friend). Answer please. .". Oh-My-Good!! I couldn't believe it. I was sure it was !! I only fancied one guy : ! I couldn't stop smiling. I was speechless. I had to tell this to my friend . I wondered how she was going to react. I called her.
"? 's speaking".
An hour later he had answered me. My heart beat faster and faster when I saw I had a message from him. I read it. "Listen I thought if you looked at me like that, it meant you fancied me. But maybe I made a mistake (but you often look at me!). you know what? Forget that babe! It's not important. Bye".
Oh my god! He was so kind, so lovely, caring, loving, smart and very gorgeous! I was so happy! It was the best day of my life. I've just talked to the man of my dreams� It was late so I went to bed but I couldn't fall asleep�
* 's POV *
* 's POV *
"Hiya , how are you?" she asked me.
The bell rang at that moment. We had to go to our classroom. I hadn't seen him all day long, I just noticed him talking with a few friends. The day ended. I came home and decided to read all our mails again� But I noticed that I had a new one� from ! "Hiya! Didn't you look at me because I asked you why you looked at me? What a pity! Lol! Bye. Kisses. ". It was so funny! We flirted a little with each other but not more. He missed the fact that I looked at him! So sweet and funny� And then it happened again. We sent each others a few mails. We stopped talking about the fact that I looked at him! I began to fall for him. One day he told me that his girlfriend had seen all my mails and were upset! But we didn't do anything wrong. She asked him to stop talking to me but he confessed me that he didn't want to� so we've carried on like that for 2 months but we still ignored each other at school. But I didn't mind.
One day I saw him ignoring his girlfriend! I was shocked! It was maybe only a quarrel but he has ignored her like that for 5 weeks and during this period I haven't talked to him. When I saw him I looked at him but he didn't pay any attention. He obviously didn't like me anymore and either because he finally broke up with her! We weren't even friends anymore� I didn't understand anything�
* 's POV *
During the summer, I missed a lot . And I still liked . So I decided to give and I another chance� and I thought that it'd help me to forget �
* 's POV *
I had become a nurse! It was my dream. I was finally happy. I was in a relationship with this beautiful guy for a year. His name's . I loved him a lot. He was very kind and so sweet. He made me laugh and knew to be serious to share my tears, my fears,� But since 2 or 3 weeks I wasn't sure anymore. I wasn't in love with someone else. It was just that
I didn't love him anymore� like before. I wondered if I wasn't with him just for his kindness, his sweetness,... I really liked him but I began to realise that it wasn't love anymore!? What happened to me? I had a great job, a wonderful boyfriend and it was like something was wrong, something missed� I was confused�
* A few days later *
Meanwhile still lived in London. Suddenly the phone rang�
* 's POV *
It was 7 in the evening. At this time I was very busy and another nurse asked me if I could receive the ambulance. Sometimes I worked in the emergencies but it was rare. You could see some people in a very bad condition. The I heard an ambulance which was coming. They just said it was two men who had had an accident with a lorry. The ambulance arrived and I helped the ambulance drivers with the two injured guys. Both of them had blood on their faces. One of them, who had hair (the other one had hair) was in coma. His condition was very serious and a nurse couldn't do anything. A few surgeons dealed with him. The one was unconscious but was about to wake up. He had a few bruises on his face, 2 broken ribs and his left leg was broken too. He had to stay a few days at hospital.
* A few days later *
I looked after him. The blood was gone and he was actually gorgeous. He was sleeping peacefully. He often slept, I didn't talk to me a lot, I didn't even know his name! I watched him a few minutes, didn't know why� It was strange� I had this feeling that I already knew him. I left him, confused but I was busy and so pushed this thought away. An hour later I went and visited him. The doctor had come. He was finally awake.
* 's POV *
I couldn't believe what she told me. wasn't there anymore. It was hard to believe. He was my best friend and really loved him. The nurse hugged me and it was good. I was crying, I was feeling lonely and she was there with me. I had needed my family, my friends and , my girlfriend. I pulled her away even if I felt safe in her arms. She was very close, she was beautiful actually. My eyes looked deeply in hers. I looked away and saw her name on her uniform.
* 3 days later *
I was at hospital for a week now and I felt better and better. Thanx to (this name seemed still strange to me!) because she came and saw me every time she could. She helped me, more than my family and did. And I really appreciated her for that. I really got to know her. She had even met my family but not yet. When I was bad she made me laugh. She had a beautiful smile. She was actually the prettiest nurse I�ve ever seen for my entire life! *Lol* �Stop it!� I thought. Was I falling for her? Oh my goodness! I was afraid of�
After half an hour of arguing she left my room. She was mad at me, she didn�t understand why I loved and not her anymore. I knew I had to do it. Didn�t know why exactly� I really wanted to be with now but I couldn�t move�
* �s POV *
felt much better. I saw him a lot during these few days. It was very strange for me. For his part he hadn�t recognized me yet and for my part these few days were wonderful. We became close. He was sad, very sad a moment and I had to help him. I talked to him about me, I even made him laugh so many times. I had still this feeling : I really wanted to be with him. I was really afraid of falling in love with him again. On the other hand I loved less and less and on the other hand my feelings for grew stronger everyday�
* 's POV *
"I'm coming! Don't yell like that!!" I replied.
"Look at him" I replied.
", what's wrong?" asked worried.
I was speechless. I was completely lost in his eyes.
"Look at him" I repeated once again pointing at this gorgeous man.
"Who? ?" she answered.
", they are all looking at us now! It's quite annoying you know" she continued. I didn't pay any attention to what she said. I had stopped listening to her just after she had said his name, a nice one in fact.
"� �" I said quietly.
"Yeah that's it! We'd better leave now!" she said grabbing my arm. She forced me to go to the classroom but all I could think of was his face, was 's face. He was really beautiful. We were lucky 'cause the teacher hadn't said anything about our delay. I couldn't stop talking about him to .
"How do you know his name? Have you already noticed him before?" I asked her.
"Well you're new here since a few months so you don't know these 4 boys you've just seen are really famous here, if you know what I mean. All the girls want to go out with one of them" she replied quietly.
"And�?"
"And what?" she asked me confused.
"Are they single and free?" I asked cheeky.
"Actually goes out with since last year and they really love each other you know. The others are all single" answered.
"Oh�" I replied disappointed.
"What's wrong ? You really fancy don't you ?" she asked smiling.
"Yes I have to admit it�" I said shyly. I fell in love very quickly and it was very hard to live. I was afraid that was my new victim.
", look , your baby is over there!". I turned my head quickly and saw 2 wonderful eyes looking at my direction. I couldn't stop staring at him. My heart beat faster and I was shaking. Yes I was falling for him! Oh damn! I hadn't got any chance! was more beautiful than me and he loved her. But it was impossible for me to forget him. He was on my mind all day long. I couldn't listen to my friends anymore. I forgot all the things they said. I was quiet, thoughtful, this guy had changed me. I wasn't the girl who laughed all the time, who never kept calm,� anymore. My friends didn't recognized me and so did I.
"Oh ! What's up babe?" she said.
"Well� I've just received a mail saying this�" I replied.
I began to read it even though I already knew it by heart.
"Oh my goodness!!" I heard her.
"There's no doubt, it's him! It's ! Lucky girl! You have to answer him�" she said excitedly.
"Yes you're right but what if it wasn't him! I'll make a fool out of myself and�".
interrupted me "Stop saying that! It's him I'm sure. Answer him now! It's gonna be wicked !" she almost screamed at my ear.
"Ok ok! I do it now".
I decided to fake not to know who he was before confessing him I loved him!
"Hiya I'm sorry but I don't know who you are! Who's this girl who gave you my address? According to you I look at you at school! Interesting� No I'm joking! But tell me your name and maybe I'll recognize you. Bye. ".
"Good" replied still on the phone.
She were right it was quite funny.
Oh my good it was important and very interesting in fact. He seemed to want to give up but I was not gonna let him go. I answered him immediately. "Actually you seem to be very sure that I fancy you! But tell me how you got my address and also your name! ;) Bye". I had decided I had to fake still a little. I couldn't tell him how I felt about him� like that! "I'm just a man who believed that a girl like you could look at him but it was maybe a mistake. For your address a friend of mine knew your name and then I did a search on msn. .". It was his answer. He didn't want to tell me his name! I had decided to exaggerate by telling him he was right. "yes maybe it's a mistake! Anyway every time I fancy someone cute and look at him, he notices it! *lol* Do I know your friend who gave you my address?". I sent him that. I wondered how he was gonna react. "yes maybe I'm wrong but you're the only at school so� Maybe I'm right babe� and I don't know how my friend knows you! Yes I spotted you! There's no doubt! I said to myself that it was a coincidence but every day it was a funny coincidence! .". I laughed when I read that. I wasn't this kind of person who is discreet when she looks at a man. He was very cute, kind and already knew how to make me laugh. I answered him� "You're right, I'm the only at school! Shame on me! Coincidence huh? Everyday? I overdo! Please tell me your friend's name and yours� ". I really enjoyed this conversation. He replied me quickly. "Her name's . I'm not sure it'll help you! Actually you have a lovely name. You dislike it? .". Oh my good! He loved my name! "Nobody had never told me that! Yes I hate it! I know . So you're in Mr Tingle's class? Now I know who you are�!". It was time to admit the truth! I was fed up with faking! "Yes I'm in her class. Has nobody never told you that you had a beautiful name? You know some very stupid person so� I'm joking! Sorry I gotta go. Hope we could carry on this conversation tomorrow. See ya babe. Kisses. .".
I had noticed her a month ago. She was looking at me all the time. I had a girlfriend but she was different even though I didn't know her. She seemed funny, nice and she was cute. I had decided to ask her why she was always staring at me. Did she fancy me? I really thought so and I was gonna know it� , a mate of mine, knew her name and it was . When I came back home I did a search on Msn to find her address and I found it?! I didn't know exactly what to say� I began like that : "Hiya, how are you? I noticed you looked at me at school and I was just wondering why? (I had got you address by a friend). Answer please. .". I didn't want to tell her my name, maybe later. An hour later and she had answered me. She was kind and funny as I had said. We sent to each other a few mails this Tuesday evening. In the end she had recognized me but I had to go so I had promised her to talk to her the day after.
Tomorrow morning I was at school. I was afraid of meeting him. What could it happen? Should I say 'hi' to him? Should I ignore him because it was really annoying (he knew I liked him!) or should I just smile at him? I really had no idea. Arrived at my locker I saw standing there. I couldn't wait to tell her this story about and I.
"Hiya , I'm really fine" I replied grinning at her.
"It's , isn't it? Explain all to me!" she said smiling too.
I began to explain to her what happened between him and I.
"�and then he had to go so I went to bed!" I told her the whole story.
"oooh it's so sweet!!" she said with her baby voice.
These 2 months were amazing. I knew her a little bit better and she was very kind and lovely. But then I didn't know what happened to me� I broke up with and I was fed up with the 'kind' of relationship I had with . Maybe I wanted more? Was I falling for her? Maybe... Was I still in love with Yes I thought so� but why was I acting like that? I had to choose! or ? Oh my good�The end of the school year arrived and I was still confused. But I realised that I really loved a bit more despite the fact that I didn't talk to her anymore. What could I do? was going to university and I haven't talked to her for ages! And there was , who I finally got on well with�
* 's POV *
"Hello, 's speaking" I said on the phone.
"Hiya sweetheart, it's ".
"Hey gorgeous, how are u?" I replied smiling.
"Fine just wondering if you and could meet and me now? We
missed you!" she asked shyly
was my girlfriend for 6 years now but we often had an on-off relationship. Sometimes she was really great, kind,� and sometimes she really annoyed me but I loved her. Because of this, we didn't live together. She actually lived with her friend who was 's girlfriend.
"Ok, we'll be there in 10min" I replied. "Bye hun, love ya!".
"'K, see you later, love ya too!" she said softly.
I hang up and stood up. was there with me. He was watching TV.
"Hey d'ya wanna see your ?" I asked teasing him.
" has just rung me asking if we wanted to go and see them at their house".
"Yeah, 'course I want to see�"
"Your baby ? Yeah we know that!" I interrupted him grinning.
"How did you know?" he said laughing.
We stood up and headed towards the door. I locked it and got into my car and we drove off.
", fast your seatbelt!" I said teasing him again.
"Sounds like my mum! Stop it please!" he replied grinning.
"I do what I want!" he carried on sounding like a child.
We had fun during the trip. was my best friend and we really got on well with each other. Arrived at a crossroads I had to stop. It was red for us but then the trafficlight became green and when I started up again, a lorry coming to our left hit us. It was awful. We were pushed against a wall and suddenly everything went black�
* 's POV *
"Hiya, how are you?" I asked him.
"Hi! I can't move. My rubs still hurt me and I have my leg broken" he replied smiling.
Wow gorgeous smile. He was actually in a good mood despite the fact that he could have died. Then this feeling came back. I had already seen him, I was sure.
"What's wrong?" he asked seeing me confused.
"Nothing just thinking" I lied.
"So.." I carried on picking up his file.
"Your name's � �" I said reading it.
"That's it!" he replied softly. Then I was sure. It was him : !
How could I forget him, forget his lovely face? The guy I fancied for a year� OMG! I was shocked to recognize him and to see him again�
"You sure everything's ok? You seem really quiet suddenly�" he asked me worried.
"I'm a bit tired, that's all" I replied lying again.
"The doctor has come" he said changing the subject.
"Yeah I can see that" I replied still reading his file.
"He told me I had to stay here for a week or two" he carried on.
I didn't reply. I was just staring at him, the same way I did when I was 17?! Shame on me *lol*
"Can I ask you something? He asked softly. God he was gorgeous.
"Course you can, what do you want?" I said trying to sound as "normal" as I could.
"I had an accident, you surely know that" he began. "But I was with my best friend . But I haven't got any news. Do you know how he is and where he is please?! I'm quite worried actually".
OMG! He didn't know and I had to tell him. Unfortunately his friend was dead. I had to tell the guy I loved a few years ago, that he had lost his best friend!
"Listen " I said sitting next to him and looking right into his eyes.
"I don't know how to say you this�"
"Just say it!" he said simply.
"I'm so sorry but you lost your best friend� he's dead" I said hesitating.
"You're� you're joking right?"
"No I'm not�" I replied softly.
"He was more hurt than you and�" I tried to explain to him but it was hard. He became very pale and didn't say
anything. He didn't realize it yet.
"Course you're joking�" he said again bursting into tears.
He was shocked but I had to tell it him. Seeing him like this hurt me.
I couldn't help hugging him and he didn't pull me away. He needed someone and I was there.
"He didn't deserve it� he had a girlfriend who truly loved him" he said upset still crying.
I didn't reply, I just listened to him. He was very sad because of me.
Now he knew the truth and had to cope with it. He was gonna need some support from his family and of course I was going to help him too. It was strange. It was really good to have him in my arms. I suddenly really wanted to be with him. Had I got still some feelings for him?
"� what a lovely name" I said. She smiled.
I've already heard that name. It was actually possible but I had this feeling that I had been close to this girl. But I really didn't remember of a "" that I had known.
I was very tired and had decided to sleep. She kissed my forehead. I didn't know if it was allowed but I didn't reject her!
"Night, if you need someone, call me" she said simply.
"Thanx"
She was very kind, nice, caring and beautiful. She had the same age as me. She understood me, I felt less alone.
When she was walking away I received a text message. It was from . It said that the hospital had told her I was casualty and still in hospital. She said also that she was worried and she was going to come and visit me. And unfortunately she asked me how was. I hadn't thought about that. I had to tell them this bad news.
* �s POV *
Someone entered my room and I stopped thinking. It was . She didn�t come so often since I was at hospital. Strangely I didn�t miss her so much. �Oh stop that please!� I said to myself. I was very strange those days�
�Hiya � she said giving me a soft kiss on my lips.
�Hi� I replied.
�How are you feeling?� she asked me.
�Better� I replied simply.
�D�ya know that �s funeral is tomorrow?� she said softly.
� you know I can�t go!� I replied upset.
�Yes I know, calm down, just wanted to tell you that� she replied shyly. �You�re mad at me?� she asked worried.
�Yes� I replied with anger in my voice.
�Why? What have I done?�.
�Listen, you didn�t come and see me so often when I had needed you and when you come you talk to me about �s funeral and you know I have to stay here one more week!� I almost shouted at her.
She was a little shock but I didn�t care. I was a little fed up with her behaviour since a long time ago.
�I�m sorry , I was busy, really busy and�� she tried to defend herself.
�Stop it� I screamed.
Suddenly entered.
�Hello � she said softly. �Hello, I�m his nurse � she said looking at .
had a strange look on her face.
�, this is , my� my girlfriend�.
When I said that, was shocked and so did . What was wrong with both of them? I didn�t understand her reactions.
�, I see you�re better. I leave you two alone. Bye.� said quickly before going. But her voice was trembling...
�Oh my goodness!� said suddenly after was gone.
�What ?� I asked her.
�You� her�� she tried to say.
�!! What happens?� I asked her again.
�That ! It was the same girl who loved you at school a few years ago. You chatted with her for 2 months. I�ve recognized her. Oh that little prick! How could I forget her? She wanted to be yours, d�ya remember her?� she said a little bit angry.
Then everything became clear in my head. I knew now why I was so sure I already knew her or at least already met her lovely name. I was young and my feelings for her were strange but at the end of the school I loved her. But she had to go to university and I had still some feelings for . I had to forget so I went out with again. I was a bit confused� oh my good I had found her back! I was so happy. Suddenly I really wanted to be with her. I was sure now. She was so beautiful and lovely. I was still in love with her but did she still love me? She acted so gently with me during this week. I didn�t recognize her just before told me. So did she recognize me? A lot of questions went through my mind.
� what are you thinking �bout? Did you recognize her?� interrupted my thoughts.
��Course I did now thanx to you.� I said smiling.
I didn�t know why I was so mean with her. She really got on my nerves sometimes. I didn�t care about her like she didn�t care about me, about the fact I was at hospital and I�ve just lost my best friend. I had to leave her I loved now and I thought it was the right
moment to tell her.
I made my way to �s room when I heard him talking to another person. Maybe it was his mother. I had already met his parents. They were actually very kind.
�Hello � I said looking at him. And then I turned my head to the person who was with him.
�Hello, I�m his nurse � I said looking at� her. It was a girl and as soon as I saw her I recognized her. It was : �s girlfriend a few years ago when I loved him. So they gave each other another try I guessed not sure. I was very disappointed. I tried to calm down. introduced her to me like his girlfriend. I was sad and very shocked. She had also a strange look on her face. Had she recognized me too? Because she knew me, she knew I fancied her boyfriend. I wanted to run away.
� I see you�re better so I leave you two alone. Bye.� I said quickly.
I was about to cry. The moment I was falling in love with him again, appeared one more time. I hated her. It was the second time she was between and I. But this time it was hard, hard to cope with it� again. I had decided not to deal with anymore and I had asked to
another nurse to be in charge of his case.
�What happened ? Something wrong between and you? I thought you two really got on well with each other!� she told me.
�Well he has the same girlfriend he had a few years ago at school. He still loves her. I can�t see that anymore. It really hurts me ya know?� I replied simply revealing the truth.
�I understand but please , get over him if you don�t want to be hurt again.� She said friendly.
�Thanx� I said wiping the tears away. �But please don�t tell this anyone.�
�Promise� she replied smiling.
