Chapter. 04 (Slight Edit)

Charla frowned. "What do you mean?"

Alex shook her head and walked over to a nearby window and looked outside. "Well, I mean a doctor should do everything in their power to help those who are sick, even if the obstacles seem impossible. So what if it's a job? A person's life is in their hands isn't it?" Alex sighed and looked back to Charla. "Sorry, I don't mean to vent on you like this after you just woke up. Really stupid of me, it's just... I've never been a big fan of doctors who don't seem to give a crap about those they take care of."

Charla was silent; she gathered it was probably something a lot more personal then Alex let on, but felt that it wasn't her place to really ask at the moment in time.

"But going back on the topic at hand you really should call your uncle and at least let him know. Even if it is just a message you should tell him."

"You're really persistent aren't you?"

Alex grinned. "I damn well can be, now call him."

"But I don't have my bag," Alex then moved over to where she was sitting before and held up Charla's backpack.

"In all the commotion I held on to it for you. Meant to leave it here but I sort of forgot."

Taking her bag Charla dug through searching for her cell. But then came across a piece of paper, with a frown she looked at it.

"Feel better soon." was all it read.

"Did you write this?" Charla asked.

Alex shook her head. "No, maybe it was the guy who helped you, the one that caught you when you fainted? Though I don't have a clue as to when he stuck that in your bag."

Charla merely stared at the note for a moment before going back and looking for her cell, when she found it she scrolled through the numbers before finding his. She listened to the phone ring several times before it hit voicemail. "Hey uh... Uncle, this is Charla. Um... you might get a call from the school I had a bit of an... an accident, I'm okay nothing's wrong with me but I thought I should at least let you know. It's nothing bad um... sorry in advance, I don't mean to trouble you. I'll talk to you when you get home, goodbye." then promptly hung up and let out a tired breath and rested her head in her hands.

"You sound glad that he didn't pick up."

"That's because I am, I hate awkward phone calls..." just then the door opened and Jack made his way back over to them.

"Alright, I spoke about it with your teacher and the other members of the facility letting them know you won't be here for the remainder of the day."

"So I can leave then?" Charla asked getting off the bed once more.

"That you can," he then handed Charla a note. "Give this to your uncle when he gets home. I'll see you tomorrow before class."

She took the note and put it in her bag. "Alright, thank you." she then looked to Alex with a slight smile. "I'll see you tomorrow then." and left the nurses office.

Alex looked to Jack who merely seemed to shrug before leaving herself. Jack had then gone and pushed open one of the windows as wide as it could go before taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

"You know you shouldn't smoke in the school." A male's student voice came from the door. "You could get yelled at by Ms. Clark again."

Jack glanced at the student who had black hair and wore a pair of red rimmed glassed. "Oh it's you, don't you have your next class soon?"

"I came to see how that girl was doing." The student said as he closed the door so no one would see the school's nurse smoking.

"Ah right, well you just missed her, I sent her home to rest."

The student was quite before looking to the empty rows of beds. "Do you know why she fainted?"

"I couldn't tell you even if I wanted too; have to keep confidentiality and all that for the student's sake. If I told you I'd lose my job." Jack looked at him with a sideways glance. "You seem oddly interested in her, it's unlike you."

The student looked back to the rows of beds. "I just feel like I might have seen her somewhere before. Nothing special too it, but she seems different then when I saw her before."

Jack blew some smoke out the window. "Is that so? Well, whatever the reason best to leave her alone until she gets the lay of the school."

The student didn't say anything merely looked to the bed's and recalled a brief moment of seeing that girl by the beach wearing a hoodie and having headphones resting on her shoulders, her expression blank as she looked out to the dark sea long after the rain's end. "If you say so..."
