2022-12-13 02:01:14Sienna's P.O.V
Just like that the weekend went like the wind. And today is Monday, today I have lectures all day and it starts at 9am.I woke up extra early today, I wanted to have breakfast before I leave because I might not have time to eat lunch,plus I have to go to the library after class,I need to pick up a few books for my assignments.
I was in the kitchen eating when I hear the front door slam shut but I didn't bother going to see who it was because I know it was Nina.
Also,by the looks of things, she might have had a fight with her boyfriend before coming home.
Nina is a quiet girl who likes to keep to herself. I wouldn't say she is secretive but she doesn't share much of her personal life to us.
I decided to go and comfort her because I'm pretty sure she might be crying by now.
I placed my empty plates into the sink, before moving across the room into the hall way.
I walk to the room next to mine and gently knock, waiting for her permission to enter.I hear a weak "come in" and I opened the door and walked inside.
I see her sitting on her bed, with her head bowed and hands on her face sobbing.I proceed to sit on her bed and she immediately hugs me. I rub her back soothingly and gently to calm her down.
" It is okay,shhhhshh... whatever it is it's going to be alright. It's only temporary" I say and keep on comforting her until she is calm enough to talk.
"What happened?Do you wanna talk about it?" I ask
"Yes"she says while nodding her head
"I just found out today that Henry has been cheating on me with his so called best friend and when I confronted him about it, he didn't even deny it" she says with tears brimming from her eyes
"what hurts the most is that, he called her over the moment he ended things with me and I saw them kissing while I was still in the house. Like what the fuck? who even does that?" she continues to say in an angry tone.
That stupid boy,he should pray I don't see him around,else him going break all his bones in his body and remove all his 32 teeth's. I am not joking or exaggerating, I'm dead serious.
Henry is a guy she met during a basket ball competition between our school. Henry attends Columbia University and we attended NYU. Their relationship is what you call love at first sight.
But I felt the relationship was too fast, he had always downgraded her and destroyed all her self esteem. I didn't want to be the reason their relationship got destroyed,so I decided to sit back and watch her see for herself.
"Boys are so stupid. Infact all male species are stupid. I don't know even know why God created them in the first place."she says
"I know ,boys are so stupid. God should have made only women but who are we to decide. He knows what is best for us. Henry is jerk, don't waste your tears on him ,you are going to meet someone better, someone who will treat you well" I say,
"But my stupid heart loves him. He was my first in everything. it isn't that easy to get over him. You'd understand that if you have ever been in relationship before,no offense" she says and I feel a tug in my heart but I smile either way.
"None taken, but understand time will heal you, when you meet the right person,you'll forget all about him"I tell her
"Henry who?" she says with a small laugh
"Yes, Henry who?",I repeat with a laugh.
"I wish I could stay and comfort you but I have to go for lectures and I can't miss any" I tell her
"Don't worry I'll stay here and down my self in ice cream and binge watch Vampire diaries,the originals and legacies on my laptop. Elijah and Stefan aren't going to give me broken heart." she laughs through her tears
" Love you" I say and hug her before leaving
"Love you too" she says before I close the door.
I immediately run out of the apartment to catch a cab before I'm late.
As you guessed,I don't have a car yet, the money I earn from work can't really buy me a car. I have alot of bills to pay, groceries to buy, books to buy. Although Derrick insists on buying me one ,I refused the offer, I want to earn things on my own. I don't want to depend on anyone,so I have been saving for the past two years to buy a car of my dreams and by the time I graduate next year,I'll be buying it.
I can't wait till the day I officially wear the lab coat to be officially called Doctor Sienna Greenwood,it has always been a dream of mine and I can't wait to make it a reality.
I immediately catch a cab once I got to road side and I thank God I wouldn't be late after all.
....Today has been a hectic day for me. Luckily my last class got cancelled. I felt faint during lectures so I decided to grab some donut and milkshake before heading for the library.After hours of studying and non stop homework,I decided to call it a quits and go home.
Derrick texted me earlier, asking to pick me up and I accepted the offer immediately.Once I walk out of the library to the parking lot ,I spot his beautiful Rolls-Royce and I immediately jump inside.
"Hectic day?"he asks and I nod.
He then hands me a paper bag and immediately the flavor and scent of the fried chicken filled my nose.
I hurriedly unwrapped it to reveal three pieces of KFC chicken and fries with coke.
"oh babe,you know me so well" I say and gave him a sloppy kiss on his cheeks ,which he immediately made a disgusted face to it.
We both burst into laughter ,he blast some DJ Khaled featured songs as we drove out the packing lot.

Sienna's P.O.VAfter what seems like eternity, Derrick was finally able to calm him down.He wiped away his tears and turn our way and then he notices us. "sorry you guys had to see me this way" he mutters with a small smile,"It is okay, we understand the pain you are going through." I replied sympathetically "Ermm....Arson meet my friends Nina Killian and Sienna Greenwood. Guys meet Arson Cooper " Derrick says and Arson shakes our hand. He hands lingered mine for a while which brought butter flies into my stomach."what did you say your name was again?" he asked still holding my hands and looking at me." Sienna Greenwood " I replied and he looks at me shocked,"Wh....where do you come from?" he asks which made feel awkward because I don't like talking about my past with anyone"I was born in Italy but my origin is English" I answered "Are you by any chance related to Amanda Carlton?" he asks still in his shocked state"Yes that is my mother " I answer, okay this is getting anno

Sienna's P.O.VWe were given a tour around the hospital and when we passed through the sectors, we were shown the wards were they had renovated and changed to Clara Greenwood's ward,and we saw her formal room locked with flowers all over it. After the tour, we were assigned to different patient for the day and to say it was the best was an understatement. My patient Lindsey was cheerful and carefree and she didn't want her illness to bring her down. That is a good spirits.Finally the day has ended and we said our goodbyes to each other before leaving. Well, the boys and I said our goodbyes ,the other girls ,whose name I just learnt were Diana and Iris, didn't even bother to say bye,the just left in their car.I was outside waiting for a taxi when I heard my phone ring, I saw the number and I rolled my eyes.I debated whether to answer or not.I answer in an irritated tone anyway."

Now what am I going to do. I hope this doesn't turn out to be messy. I take the snacks to Nina and we continued our movie night.

Dean and I still sneak around every dawn to either have sex or talk. We normally talk about my mom or dad , sometimes I'll allow me talk about my fantasies and wishes about my dad. He is really great listener.Things have been great with Derrick too, I have also been persuading him to tell his parents about his sexuality,so that Dean and I would also make our relationship open,if that is what it is.He hasn't really said anything about our relationship yet,I don't know where I stand now but I don't want to be hurt.
