The Doctor

Chapter 10: Paranoid Senses

   We stayed up for the rest of the night talking, still unable to go back to sleep after what happened but for once it wasn’t random bickering. It was a real conversation about ourselves. I shared facts about me that I haven’t told anyone in years... or maybe even ever! We were so into getting to know each other that we didn’t notice the sun starting to rise and that we’d have to leave soon. At first we had turned the radio on to fill the silence before we started talking and for the last couple hours it had just been background music but now all was silent again. I was still laying in Cam’s bed well he was off getting dressed. He came back into the room with me and was looking in the mirror on the wall when the most ironic song you could think of came on.

   “Doctor, Doctor need you back home baby. Doctor Doctor where you at? Give me something. I need your love, I need your love, I need your lovin’, you got that kind of medicine that keeps me comin’. ”

   I blushed and tried to hide my face but I couldn’t help stealing a glance at him. He was chuckling and grinning at me through the mirror.

   “Oh, you make it, make it right. My temperature is super high. If I scream if I cry, it’s only cause I feel alive.”

   “I’m turning this off now, this is just weird...” I said,

   “No leave it on, I wanna hear it.” He said with a grin. 

   “Just because it says doctor doesn’t mean its talking about you.” I told him with a laugh. He rolled his eyes and I turned the radio off again. 

   “I have to go, its probably going to be a long day.” He said with a sigh but trying to seem optimistic. I walked to the coat hanger and brought his lab coat to him and slipped it on. He smiled,

   “Thanks.” He said and kissed my forehead. 

   “You know whats always bothered me about you?” I asked with a serious face. He looked a little worried but asked anyways.

   “What?”

   “Your tie is always crooked.” I said straightening it with a smile. I heard him breath and sigh of relief and laugh a little.

   “You should come by again later, I liked talking to you.” He said as we walked down the back steps of the Boy dorms. 

   “You aren’t mad I kept you up all night?” I asked with a little laugh.

   “I am but it was worth it in the end.” We walked to the gazebo in the garden where we said our fair wells and parted ways. “I don’t want to see you back in my clinic got it?” He warned jokingly as he walked away.

   “Yes sir.” I said with a laugh and headed for the Kitchen. The day in the kitchen was normal and uneventful. The only thing that worried me was that Luke was no where to be found. I wasn’t sure why I was worried, maybe I still cared about him for some odd reason, or maybe I was just scared of what he could be doing while no one was watching. I was washing tables after dinner and looked outside to see everyone getting off early today and heading to their rooms, I guess it was a lazy day for everyone.

   “When your done you can go home.” Mary called out from across the room with a smile. 

   “Thanks!” I called back, but I knew I wouldn’t be done for a while. Everyone else started to leave and I was left alone in the big empty lunch room. It was creepy and made the hair on my neck stand up but it was just a room, it couldn’t hurt me. The sun had started to set, dying the sky bright red streaks, when I finally locked the kitchen doors and left. I took the long route through the garden hoping to find The Doctor but I sadly didn’t and continued towards the girl dorms. The bright sky began to darken, not from the fading sun but sudden nasty looking storm clouds that had moved in. I stopped and looked up towards the sky as a drizzle began to fall.
