“You’re going to be okay?” Sophia asked. Elizabeth raised her tired eyes to look up at her coworker and felt the now-familiar ache in her chest. The worry that was now always on Sophia’s expression was starting to chip away at her, and the long day behind her certainly wasn’t helping much.

Despite all that, Elizabeth still managed a smile and a nod, more for Sophia’s sake than anything else.

“Of course,” she said. Sophia still lingered around the nurse’s station, her hand hesitating and trying to reach out to Elizabeth over the counter. She took her friend’s hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “I’ll be fine, Sophia.”

“I know, but . . . things . . . you . . .” Sophia stammered. Even in the middle of the night, when the hospital was silent, and there wasn’t anyone else around to listen, she still lowered her voice. “Things haven’t been easy for you lately.”

Elizabeth nodded. The divorce seemed to have hit another roadblock, and she had spent countless hours on the phone with her lawyer, trying to sort it all out. Not to mention the fact that the situation with Cory still hadn’t gone anywhere. It was all starting to pile up on her.

“I’ll be just fine,” she said finally. Sophia gave her a doubtful look but nodded, before starting down one of the hallways where the doctors’ break room and lockers were.

Elizabeth’s eyes watched the blue uniform disappear from sight. The air suddenly dropped a few degrees, and the weight on her consciousness seemed to double.

All of a sudden, it was too much for her to handle. She had barely been keeping herself together, and now that she was alone, without the presence of her friend, she was falling apart.

Elizabeth had just enough training to hold back her tears long enough to make a quick round in the main area, checking that all the patients were stable and asleep. She knew that there were other doctors nearby, as well.

She just needed a second alone. Just enough privacy to go someplace quiet and feel everything that she had been pushing down the last two weeks.

She found herself walking through unfamiliar hallways, moving without thinking, until she found a quiet, empty hallway. The hospital was a maze sometimes, and places like these were hard to find unless you were looking for them. Still, she looked around the branching hallways to make sure that she was really alone before she slumped against the wall.

Her chest was heaving with breath before her throat started to close up, and her breathing began to stutter. The tears that she had just barely been holding back started to well up in her eyes, and she angrily wiped them away, before she realized that there was no use.

“Fuck,” she muttered to herself. The aches in her body that had been bothering her day and night started to grow sharper, poking at her heart and dragging her down. The world was starting to close in around her, and she suddenly found herself on the floor, hugging herself as she sobbed.
