Drew had just gotten back home from his overnight shift at the hospital, and he was exhausted. There had been a massive pile up on the highway that caused numerous injuries, some critical and others minor, and had the hospital staff in a frenzy to take care of everyone in a timely manner. On top of that, there were other emergencies that added to the high tensions of the place, so the male was running around the majority of his shift to make sure everything was going smoothly and all patients were being checked up on efficiently. He set his keys on the counter along with his wallet before making his way into the bedroom where his beautiful wife laid in a peaceful slumber. A smile spread across his facial features at the mere sight of her as Drew approached her side of the bed. His fingers caressed her cheek gently before he placed a soft kiss to her forehead. He didn’t want to wake her up since it was pretty early in the morning, but he couldn’t help that he wanted to acknowledge her presence, even during her sleep, before he stripped down to join her. A yawn escaped his pink lips as he stood back up and walked over to the closet where he took off his shoes in order to start getting ready for bed. 

Drew had been working nights at the hospital, but he finally had a day off to relax and catch up on sleep; however, he was having a hard time doing so. His body was so used to being up at this time, and he was silently cursing his career choice because of it. A loud sigh escaped his chapped lips as he laid in bed before grabbing his phone that was next to him on the bedside table. His blue hues grazed over the bright screen and clicked on his friend’s name, hoping that they were up at this time. Drew placed the phone up to his ear and listened to it ring while he pinched the bridge of his nose as he waited. 

Drew had no idea what had happened between them, but the female standing in front of him wasn’t someone who he recognized and that broke his heart. His blue hues stared down at her as he had no idea what to even say as their entire relationship ( or whatever it was ) had suddenly changed but not by his choice. She had started to change, and how she acted towards him was completely different than when it had started and he really wasn’t understanding why. He ran his fingers through his blonde locks before shaking his head. “So, is this how it’s going to be?” Drew asked as anger was laced within his tone of voice. He just wanted answers yet he was also scared to find out the truth. “You don’t need me anymore?” he added as his jaw clenched before he diverted his attention to the ground beneath his feet. 

Drew had just got through with doing his rounds, saving his pain in the ass patient Mr. Levi Thomas for last, when he saw his good friend, Xio, near the nurse’s station. A grin plastered itself upon his features as he made his way over to her and leaned against the counter. “I’m about ready to jab Mr. Levi with some morphine and call it a night,” he stated with a laugh as he shook his head slightly. “Have you had to deal with him yet?” Drew asked with an annoyed sigh. “If not, then consider yourself lucky because this man is the most impatient son of a bitch I’ve ever came across,” he added as he rubbed his eye before grabbing another file to read over. “How’s your rounds going?” Drew questioned as he always loved hearing about her shift and the patients that she had to deal with.

Drew was in the driver’s seat as his friend, Gabi, was in the passenger’s seat next to him. Irritation was apparent on his facial features at the immense amount of traffic that was taking place due to a minor wreck that had happened a few feet ahead of them. “I don’t fucking understand why people have to slow down and see what’s going on because all it does is create a load of unnecessary traffic and potentially create more wrecks to take place,” he stated with a sigh as his fingers gripped the steering wheel a little too hard. “Is there another way to the party or is this the only one?” Drew asked as his blue hues ventured over to look at the beautiful female sitting near him. 

Dalton pushed open the too familiar double doors into the brick building. Everything about this place made him sick. The smell of metal lockers mixed with too much cologne, the girls that caked their face with makeup, the steroid induced jocks that pined over them - all of it. But what especially made him sick was the fact that his lovely ex had just pulled over some kid with glasses too big for his face and kept her hand on his arm. Scoffing, he waved to her as he passed. “Don’t let her fool you, man. Those lips can’t do as much as she’s promising.”

“Look, tell anyone I’m giving you this shit for free and I’ll kill you. You just look like you need a stress reliever so I’d thought I’d help ya out.”
