Luna Fryer

Okay.. Jude was not expecting this girl to freak out on him, though it was something he was used to, unfortunately. A lot of relatives of patients would get angry, be upset, just loose control.. the best thing for Jude to do, was to stay calm. He simply nodded his head at the girls random outburst, and slightly shrugged at his shoulders. “Sometimes, things in life happen for a reason..” He answered. “And no one can give an exact time of healing.. it’s different for everyone. But uh.. look, you want to rant.. then rant. I’m a good listener.” Jude offered the girl another polite smile, before shaking his head as she went on to apologise again. “It’s fine.. don’t apologise. You obviously needed to… vent…”

“ Well hello, I’m Ale,” They introduced. “ With that said, don’t they have those sort of events where people come together to promote themselves? Or…no, I mean a convention where you meet new people. We could check that out, you might get lucky and find some like minded film junkies like yourself?”

“As good as it sounds, they are more trouble than it’s worth, besides I have my creative integrity to uphold.”

“You got me with the creative integrity. Been there, I respect that completely.” She grinned with a little laugh, “alright, better idea.. Let’s go out and celebrate the opportunities of your creativeness.”

“Ohh..” Jude bopped his head down in a slight nod as the girl before him spoke of her heart not being, too well. He assumed she was talking about heart break, maybe a relationship ending? “I guess uh.. I guess that will take time but.. maybe think a little more positive? Life isn’t worth uh.. you know.. negativity.” Jude tried to advice, before flashing the girl a reassuring smile. Was he okay? Physically yes, mentally no. It had been a very hard day in A&E. “I’m fine.. it’s okay..”

Luna was never a blunt girl, she was very timid and to herself but with everything happening she didn’t know who she was or why she was--with that, something came over her. A rushing energy of transparency. She’s been lied to her whole life that she was so fed up with keeping anything from anybody--even a stranger, “ How much time does it take to get over your father hiding letters from your mother for 10 years to you while she decides to run away and start a whole new life, get a new family-- and a new daughter.” The last part broke her, she wiped her eye again before letting out a pathetic laugh, “I’m sorry.. that was uncalled for.. but i’m really sorry for bumping into you. It was all me”

“Right? Now you get me.” Liz chuckled. “I have pages of transcripts to read. I guess I am gonna go to the nearest hotel and stay there for few days. Hotel rooms are always quiet.”

“ Hm~dang I wish I could help, but all I do is give people rides.” They chuckled. “Ever heard of um…shit~ uh, LinkedIn! I hear that’s some networking shit I think,” “ Hey, ever thought of advertising? You know how those who audition for jobs look for ads…maybe that’s an idea?” They shrugged. “ Do you have a group of trust worthy friends that you think supports you? That can help.”

“Oooh, where are you interning?” He grinned, knowing what it was like to intern. “Years ago I interned for my dad’s office.. that was a weird experience. Really fun, but a whole lot of coffee runs.”

“That’s great,” Spencer replied, giving the girl an approving nod and smile. He knew how frustrating the process of establishing one’s career could be, how patient one had to be to break into an industry and climb that career ladder. “Aside from the coffee runs, how are you liking the internship? Is this job something you could see yourself doing as a permanent career?”

“Not entirely” She said with a little frown thinking of the route this would take her, and where her heart truly wanted to go. She bit her bottom lip and matched a glance with him, “Personally, I feel like it’s a mark in the industry to understand and get my name across. Learning experience I guess. It’s like that limbo before I get the tools to truly do my own thing.”

“Well I think you should leave if they’re treating you like that,” Cassidy said. “If they’re making you their maid and not giving you something challenging for an intern, then you should leave-that’s what I think, at least.”

“That would work for sure, as good as the idea was though it’s probably the first and last time this kind of absurdity will happen.”

“Well, thank you for viewing my profession in such a high manor, it’s appreciated.”

“It depends on the industry.” Lara said confidently, as if she had any idea how to work or find a job in the first place. “What do you do?” She asked with half curiosity. “All jobs are boring if you think about it.”

“Exactly, I mean if they are really doing this thing, might as well make some money out of it,” Cora echoed.

Wait, was this girl crying? Had he hurt her? Naturally, his nursing instinct came through. Jude reached out to comfort the girl, dipping his voice to something even softer. “Don’t worry about it…” He spoke, brushing off the girls comments. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Jude asked, his features expressing concern. “I’m not quite sure where we collided but.. no doubt you’ll probably bruised somewhere if you’re in pain…”

“So it’s a paid internship, lucky you.” Keith said with a nod, considering the blonde’s offer. “I’d say getting the opportunity to spend even a little bit of time with me is payment in itself, but you’re young, I know it’s in your nature to be greedy. If I’m satisfied I’ll happily pay you for your services, but don’t think you can get away with just phoning it in. I want real commitment.” 

A slight seriousness urged the air once she realized that this could possibly be a playful change. Luna bit her lip as she fiddled her thumbs and thought for a moment. She couldn’t help but extend her hand to his with a bright-eyed smile, “Alright.. if we’re going to do this then lets do it right.”
