Six Weeks Later

Six weeks.

It’d been six weeks since I’d heard from Bear, and the only thing I could think was that he was right. Over the past six weeks, no one had come for me. No other men had showed up at the hospital, threatening anyone or wanting to corner me in any way. It was business as usual, despite the talk of the hospital. Everyone created rumors as to why Piper had cashed in all of her paid vacation at once. It created a great deal of turmoil at the hospital. The administrative staff were upset with her. Rumor had it that they almost didn’t give it to her.

But some of the other doctors went to bat for her. They stated that Piper had taken less than two weeks of vacation during the whole of the years she’d been with the hospital in Redding. And that if something had happened so catastrophically in her world that it required the three months of vacation she’d saved up, then the hospital owed it to her to give it to her. After always covering shifts and being there when she didn’t need to be, if anyone deserved that time off, it was Piper.

And I agreed with them.

However, it was hard walking around work with all the rumors flying around. Some people thought this was a trial run for a research sabbatical on her part. Some people thought she was sick and didn’t want to be treated at the hospital where she worked. Some people thought her and Rock were having issues. Divorce, maybe. Some people rumored she was even considering switching hospitals.

I had to sit there and listen to it all, too. Listen to it while I knew the truth about everything.

I grew worried, though. Six weeks had passed, and not a single person had heard from Piper. I tried to mitigate it as best as I could, saying that she deserved privacy. She deserved this time off because of how hard she worked. That her and Rock were probably cashing in and traveling around the world with their kiddos, making memories they couldn’t create here.

But those ideas only did so much.

I dragged myself home from another night shift and pulled myself into my dinky apartment. It was old. Rundown. Up three flights of steps and down a hallway. I shoved myself into my small studio apartment and collapsed in the foyer, closing the door with my hand.

I was so tired, and the only thing I could think about was Bear.

I pulled out my phone to see if he had called. To see if anyone had contacted me. But there was nothing. No missed calls. No texts. No emails. On a whim a couple weeks back, I’d called Bear. I mean, I didn’t have his number. But I still carried around the number he had back in high school. Yeah, how pathetic was that? I still had my high school ex’s fucking number in my cell phone. I’d had three phones since high school, and his number made it through to every single one of them.
