Coming out from the bathroom, I walked into the bedroom, I’ve missed my king-sized bed for long, my back ached to lay on the soft bed. I let myself fall on the bed, it felt so good to finally be on the bed, I covered the blanket, I let my mind wander to nurse Patricia, it was hard not to think about her, she was the only person I looked forward to seeing every morning, for the past ten, or eleven days (give or take), she had a way of erupting smiles from people’s faces, well except for Dave, those two behave like cat and dog, sometimes it’s a wonderful sight to behold, seeing two people passionate about their jobs, I smile at the thought of them. I stretched to turn of the lamp by my bed. The whole environment was so silent; I could hear the tick of my table clock, it’s always been like this, but because I had slept in the hospital for a number of days, that was always busy, even at night, it felt strange being home again, where I slept in quietness. I wasn’t feeli

Patricia POVI opened my eyes, and I was back to the real world, I felt a slight headache, I managed to sit up, peering around, to remember where I was, the memory from last night vanished, I only managed to grab some, before they disappeared, while I managed to rearrange the little of the memory I had left, I saw Morris walk into the sitting room, he wore a black shirt that fit into his masculine figure so perfectly, my eyes couldn’t help but notice the visible contours on his chest, PS: even with the shirt. It was as if he was made for the shirt, and the shirt made for him. He definitely wouldn't look out of place in a fashion magazine. “good morning Patricia” he beamed at me, so brightly. He carried a tray in his hands“good morning Morris”“hope you slept well” he placed the tray at the center table in the sitting room, “I made breakfast”“yes, I did, I slept well, thank you” I blushed, “what did you make for breakfast?”He opened the bo

Stay With Me PROLOGUE
The hospital gate was opened as the siren sound blared torturously, resonating throughout the hospital. Patricia stood up abruptly, from where she was seating in the cubicle and rushed to get to the entrance door. The sound from the ambulance had always been a clarion call for Patricia and for people in her kind of job. As Patricia hastily walked towards the entrance door, two other ladies on blue scrubs followed her trail.Patricia is a twenty-four years old woman. She is of average height, she has a dark straight hair which was always tied into a ponytail behind her head. She is light skinned, with chubby cheeks. She loved her job, not just because of the pay alone, but she had compassion on people, that compassion spurred her to go extra miles for her patients. She was a nurse in the federal teaching hospital.“The victim is a teenage male” Nne, one of the ladies on blue scrubs that followed Patricia mouthed as she tried to catch up with Patricia, who wa

The morning light crawled into her room. Sleepily, she laid in her dreamy haze wondering about that thing she had always been wondering about these few days. Pushing back the covers, she felt the cool breeze caress her skin, rousing her into wakefulness. Opening her eyes, it landed on the old clock that hung above her dresser."Oh gosh am getting late for work" she practically screamed at herself, rushing to the bathroom to get ready for the day.~~~Patricia and Nne, entered the Emergency room, where the teenage boy laid.His eye lids slowly tore apart, his eyes accommodating the brightness that illuminated the white room, using his eye to scan the room, his pupils more dilated than usual.Patricia smiled “you are in the hospital you had an accident” saving him from the stress of pouring out the questions probably running through his head.The teenager wore a mask of worry on his face. Patricia and Nne both shared a gaze, worrie

“You are right, sorry for prying” Morris shrugged in response,“Give us a second Mr Morris” Dave stood up from his chair, having a pout on his face, “Patricia can I see you?” he asked, throwing an irritated look towards her, then he walked to the door, opened it, and walked outside.“please excuse me” Patricia said with a slight bow and scurried behind Dave.Morris just shrugged, as he was left alone in the Dave’s office. All he could think of was his son who was now said to have Amnesia. Was it total or partial? Would his be able to recognize him even tho things weren't rosy between them? He heaved a sigh as he buried his face in between his palm. Dave stood at the corridor, as Patricia walked up to him. “what did you think you are doing Patricia?” he asked her with a death glare. If looks could kill, Patricia would definitely have been six feet under by then. “I don’t understand sir, doing what?” she asked with an innocent but confused look,

“Good morning Morris” Patricia grinned at Morris, as she approached him sitting in the waiting room.“good morning nurse Patricia” Morris nodded, with a crooked smirk on his face “I will be back; I want to change into my scrubs” she hurried past Morris Morris smiled “I prefer you on mufti though” he raised the tone of his voice so Patricia would hear.Patricia smiled, but didn’t respond, as she walked into a room with the inscription ‘female dressing room’ atop the door…After some minutes passed, the dressing room’s door opened, and out came Patricia in her blue scrubs, with her hands in the pocket, she smiled as she walked back to the waiting room, to where Morris sat. “you're back into this scrub” Morris rubs his nose, as Patricia approached him“yes, I am” Patricia smiled at him.“good morning Nurse Patricia” an aged man rolled his oxygen tank, and a tube-like material in his nostrils, connected to the tank, throug

“what I’m I doing here?” the teenager was hyperventilating, with black look on his face. Doctor Dave stood beside the teenager; he had a dumbfounded look on his face. Nurse Nne was there too. She tried to inject the teenager with anesthesia“what are you injecting him with?” Patricia walked to Nne, and held her hands, stopping her from injecting the teenager.Dave gave Patricia a glowering look, but Patricia ignored him.“what is wrong with him?” Morris had a taut in his voice“I came to check on him, he was still sleeping, then I touched his arm, trying to check his pulse, then he woke, and started screaming, we’ve been trying to calm him down”Morris made an effort to move towards his son, but as he approached, his son became more scared, and drew back.Patricia noticed “stop” she told Morris, then she walked towards the boy“mom!

The door opened, revealing an adorable teenage girl, she tied her black curly hair in a bun. She smiled, lightly, revealing a pair of braces in her teeth. Then she walked in and closed the door behind her, Christopher’s eye gleamed with joy, as the teenage girl approached the bed, with some elegance in her walking steps, but worry on her face, she felt sorry for Christopher. Patricia was marveled as she watched the way Christopher’s mode changed, from being sober, to being so elated, she wondered who the girl was to Christopher.She slid into Christopher’s open arms, “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner” the teenage girl mouthed. They both tightened their arms around each other, like prisoners of their own bodies. Then a wave of silence hit the room, for a couple of seconds. Untangling from their embrace, Christopher laid back fully on his bed.“you are here now that’s what matter, better late than never” Christopher smiled, as he held the teenage girls’ hand

PATRICIA'S POVI woke up my usual time, 5am, to prepare for work, I forgot I was suspended from work, my body was already accustomed to waking up this early to prepare for work, but not today, I had no idea what I would do today. So many thoughts ran through my mind, should I go out? Even if I wanted to, I had no place to be, I was a loner, my job made me keep away from any form of friendship, I gave my life to this job, it gave me satisfaction, the kind that so many people are deprived from at their jobs. I sat up on the bed, and leaned on the headboard, then I began to reflect on what actually happened yesterday, and the day before, the life changing moments of my life. I expected a query, because Dave said so, and then I got a suspension, signed by Dave, that man has really got it in for me, I shook those thoughts of my head, if I thought about it too much, I might begin to have suicidal thoughts, that I didn’t want, because I might not know how to handle them.

I…”“yes Christopher, the teenage patient, where is he?” Dave’s tone rose, like a train, blaring its horn Nne became sweaty all of a sudden, “I don’t know where he is sir, isn’t he in his room?”“if he was in his room would I ask you?
