Code Blue

~ Chapter 11 ~

Part 1 of the update! More coming in a bit :)

Also since I've gotten a few comments (i LOVE reading yalls thoughts fr) I just wanted to announce that my books do move slow. Somehow I always end up having a bunch of chapters and the pace is not as fast as some other books may be. It's just always what ends up happening even if I try not to, but I also love it!

It also just means more chapters for you guys ;)

But basically in short, Harry in Code Blue is insufferable for a while. Oops

Edited: guys it's a SLOW burn they're not gonna get together on chapter 14 😭😭

But hope you guys enjoy ❤️

Chapter 11
Friday August 25th
Mallory's POV

I spent Wednesday working on Dr. Campbells service. It was interesting working on that specialty for the first time. Dr. Campbell was in all honesty an okay teacher. There was times when she would be super helpful, but then other's she'd be more dismissive. I found myself enjoying the field less than I thought I would. I assumed Cardio would be something I was interested in, because I enjoyed reading those chapters during med school and all, but I didn't find the click when I was working. I know that it's early, and I still have many more years to try it out, but at the moment I felt like I enjoyed trauma more.

Yesterday I was on orthopedics with Dr. Tan for the first time. It was a decent day. I got to watch Dr. Tan amputate a leg from the operating room gallery, and make casts for a handful of different patients ranging from young to old. Dr. Tan was nice, and I even found out that he was married to Dr. Boden, which was cool. I wondered if there were any other married couples at the hospital, since the tally is at 2 now.

Now it's Friday, and most people are walking into work excited that it's their last day before the weekend. For me however, I have a 16 hour shift today, and still have to be back here tomorrow morning at 5. To top it all off, I have to babysit on Sunday for 7 hours. It was doomed to be an exhausting week, but it was dire that I earned babysitting money over this weekend. I had to put gas in my car which was 25 dollars, and then I had to buy some groceries which cost me 15 dollars. Meaning I was left with a total of 7 dollars until I got paid on Sunday.

As you can tell, life is going really well right about now.

I hoisted my bag over my shoulder, looking at my reflection in the tinted car mirror. I pulled the front pieces of hair out of my ponytail and then proceeded to lock the door by turning the key in the hole. I backed away from my car and jumped when the sound of Harry's hand smacking my car struck my ears.

"You don't know how to drive either?" He commented in a taunting manner, the space that he had hit was a dent on the front of my car. It wasn't my fault, it was a mistake from whoever owned the car before me. However, of course he would think it was me.

"Good morning" I responded. If I told him it wasn't my doing, he wouldn't believe me anyways, so what was the point? He smirked at my response, almost basking in the satisfaction that I practically had to take the high road with my response, otherwise he'd threaten me again.

"It'd be good if you weren't speaking to me" He answered, sending a sense of whiplash through my body. He's the one who started this conversation, if one would even consider it that, and then he complains that I'm speaking to him.

There's a list of things that I can call Harry Styles, and confusing is near the top of the list.

"Right" I muttered under my breath, gripping harder onto my bag strap and trying to speed up my steps to get away from him.
