Zara

I kept checking my phone, praying and hoping to see a text from Jay. I missed him, his body, the smile he gave only me and his protectiveness. I texted him with no reply. We were really over. He wasn't going to break down this time. My heart felt like daggers were inside of it. I replayed memories of our bodies touching, grazing of our hands, locking eyes in crowded meetings and cafeteria. He truly made me feel like I was the only girl in the room. I assumed that was all a cliché from movies and books, but here I am living it. Or I was.

“Hey Zara, I got you some Santino’s,” the sweet southern drawl warmed me from my cold thoughts.

I turned away from my laptop and patient charts. Jackson was in his scrubs holding a large box of pizza while balancing Diet Coke cans on top. I loved how deep his dimples sunk in when he saw me and how I could keep my messy bun on top of my head and makeup free face on display without even feeling a doubt of insecurity.

He really made me feel like I could just be me. I was in love with Jay but knew I loved Jackson, too. It was just a completely different kind of love.

“Yum, I haven’t eaten since I had a bag of Cheetos from the vending machine at like three in the morning. Night shift is crushing me.” I whined and opened the box of pizza. The smell hit my nose and my stomach rumbled. Grabbing a slice, I nodded to the empty chair next to me and slid my laptop away.

“So I realized we both have the long weekend off in two weeks and my parents have this amazing beach house down in Charleston, I was wondering if...” He began with hesitation.

“Jackson, I would love to, but only if you promise we are going on a beach trip as friends?” I winked at him.

“I promise. I can book some flights and plan everything out. I'm so excited!” Jackson’s eyes lit up.

He was exactly the kind of guy I needed to be with, not a confusing self-absorbed like Dr. Remington. I made a promise to myself that I would stick to friendship for now.

Finishing up our pizza, we caught up about our current rotations, some conspiracy theories on Carter and Elliot being more than just friends and Maverick and Sloane’s budding relationship.

Apparently, Carter would never be able to be open about his relationship with another man because his family was excessively conservative and traditional. He wouldn’t want to lose his trust fund and harm his family name. My heart ached for him. Elliot and Carter seemed great together. Being wealthy seemed to come with more strings attached than I ever expected.

My pager went off signaling it was time to head over for another surgery and I was grateful my stomach was full along with my mind feeling clear and happy after spending time with Jackson.
