When I Left Everything Behind

Summary

Outside the glass walls of the office, Stella and Brooke were laughing, their faces lit up in bright, carefree smiles as they joked with the new intern.

They were supposed to be at the hospital picking me up right now.

When they finally looked up and saw me standing there, the warmth vanished from their faces. Their expressions instantly turned freezing cold.

"It's just a little cut. You really had to drag us all the way out there to pick you up?"

I looked down at the gauze wrapped around my abdomen. Fresh blood was already seeping through the white fabric. A bitter smile touched my lips.
