She ran as fast as her legs could take. Her heart was hammering against her rib cage. As soon as she got in the subway, she breathed out a long and audible sigh of relief.
she was terrified. She didn’t know what would have happened if Dimitri followed her. She was glad he didn’t. She was scared as shit, while he pulled her to a room and began shooting questions her way but her need to run was stronger. So, without bothering if she was disrespecting him or not, she ran from that place.
She took a seat at the end of the row and pulled out her phone and plugged in the headphones. She opened the music application and played the song, that was on top of her list.
Leaning her head back, she relaxed. She closed her eyes and didn’t let any bother her. Just her and the music.
But all good things come to an end. As the train arrived at her station, she got out and slowly prolonging her steps, walked to her house or should she say, Harry’s ca

Was she sure about this? Hell no! But she didn’t want to stay here any longer. She took a deep breath and didn’t dare to look down. It was now or never! She fisted her hands tightly around the white sheet and turned around. “You can do it!” She assured herself. She slowly let one of her legs down and let it dangle in the air while mustering up all the courage, she did the same with the other. She bit down on her lower lip harshly, drawing out blood, to muffle her yelp. Slowly and steadily she moved down holding onto the sheet. What could possibly go wrong? She could slip and break her arms and legs or worse, hit her head possibly hemorrhage, and she can die. That’s it nothing more. But she was done living here. Her happiness increase ten folds when she saw how close she was to the ground. Tears of happiness spilled out of her eyes. When there was an arm’s distance between her feet and the ground, she jumped down. She looked up at the window one last time, reminiscing how man

Dimitri looked at her vitals. Almost everything waslow. Extremely low.“What happened? I heard she fainted during the surgery?” Dr. Manor asked him. He just nodded clenching his jaw harshly.“I asked her to do the suturing and the next thing I know, all of the instruments on the ground and a loud thud, with all the nurses, screaming.” He closed Ayra’s file and looked at Dr. Manor.“What is it?” She asked him.“Hypotension,” he said grinding his teeth together.(Hypotension- Low blood pressure, which can cause fainting or dizziness because the brain doesn’t receive enough blood.)“We have started with Fludrocortisone, hopefully, that will be enough and she’ll be up soon,” he said glaring at Ayra’s frail body which was laying on the hospital bed, motionless.“She’ll be fine,” Dr. Manor assured him

Her eyes fluttered open only to welcome a white ceiling. Groaning, she got up to a sitting position. She hissed in slight pain when she moved her right hand. She looked down to see a needle attached to the back of her palm. She snapped her eyes instantly to what they were giving her.She got off the bed and took the bottle of liquid attached to the tube that connected with her hand and read it.“Fludrocortisone,” she furrowed her brows.“First-line treatment for…”“Hypotension,” someone cut her and completed her sentence. She slowly turned around to see Dimitri standing by the door with his arms crossed against his chest.Surprisingly, she didn’t cower away nor did she avert her gaze from him. He moved to her, sliding his hands into his pockets gracefully.“You lost your consciousness due to hypotension,” he breathed out.“oh…” was the only thing Ayra mana

“Are you sure?” He asked her once again and she nodded her head vigorously, so he’d just leave her alone.“Just call me if you need anything, okay?” He told her softly while stroking her cheeks with the back of his hand.“Yes,” she said softly but she was a bit annoyed. He got up from the bed and walked towards the door and stopped. He turned to her one last time and muttered, “Good night.”“Night,” she said with a soft smile gracing her lips looking at his deep blue eyes filled with concern for her. He nodded and walked out closing the door behind him softly.She sighed and rested her head on the pillow. She made herself comfortable on the soft and comfy mattress and bought the duvet closer to her chin and rested in its warmth. She closed her eyes only for sleep to invade her.A couple of hours ago,Ayra took her bag and put all of her medicines ins

She was sitting in the living room waiting for Dimitri. Joanna told her that he’d usually be home by nine. She was growing impatient each and every second. She looked up at the clock it was 09:30 PM. She just thought that he might have been caught up with a patient.Joanna left for her nephew’s wedding the following morning after breakfast and was on leave for at least a week. Ayra was all alone in the big mansion and she didn’t like it one bit. Sure there was security but they were outside. Joanna had already prepared much for Ayra so she didn’t have a problem with that.She was freaking out with all the thunder echoing through the house. She was constantly biting her nails to relieve her anxiety. It was raining heavily. She wasn’t scared of thunder or dark but the thought she was alone scared her.She took out her phone and decide to listen to some music to calm herself. She plugged in her headphones and clicked on “Can&rsqu

“Why did you freak out the last time I stopped you from jumping out of the car?” Dimitri asked the one question that was bothering him the most as they drove back home.She snapped her head towards him. She was taken aback by his sudden question. She looked out the window and bit her lip.“Why?” She questioned him back. She didn’t know where all of this was going but she didn’t want to share anything with him. She didn’t feel safe and she wasn’t sure if she could trust him just yet.He didn’t reply but just kept driving at a constant speed. He didn’t know why asked the question in the first place, well aware of the fact that she wouldn’t reply to it.“My mother…” she trailed and closed her eyes.“My mother was driving me to my friend's place for a play date when I was four and I was getting restless. She tried and told me that I should stay still but I didn&r

After the surgery, she walked back to the ER to look at the patients she hadn’t attended in two days.The surgery was a long and successful procedure. She was a little tired due to standing there for 6 hours but it was fine. She decided to check on the patients and call it a day.Dimitri was right when he included her in the surgery, as it did give her a boost to her confidence. She was glad that he chose her over so many other people which naturally made her want to work betterShe looked at her phone for the time and walked to the front desk.“Can I get a list of all of the patients, Sheila?” Ayra asked her.

She was surprised to come across one particular name.“Hey, how is Thomas still here?” Ayra asked Sheila looking up.“Dr. Manor let

“Hey, are you okay?” Rhea asked Arya, placing her hand on her shoulder.Ayra paused for a second before continuing to sob. She didn’t want people around her. She repulsed them.“Ayra,” she called out in her soft voice. Ayra sniffled and wiped her tears off before looking up at Rhea.But she only hugged Rhea and began sobbing. Rhea wrapped her arms around her and whispered some comforting words but Ayra was beyond shattered for those words to affect her.“What happened Ayra?” She asked her.“Is it fine if I don’t want to share?” Ayra asked her in her small voice.“Of course it is. Why wouldn’t it be?” Rhea comforted her.“I want to go back to my aunt. I miss her so much,” Ayra’s voice was small.“I don’t know what Harry might have done to her. She may be in trouble or worse, he might have tried to kill her,” sh
