~7 Years Ago ~

Ella had had her tour of the medical schools who were interested, and she had one in the afternoon the next day, but she was in New York for a week for free. She was gonna enjoy it, wanting to make sure she got the feel for the city and her first time out of state and celebrate her graduation from college. Hell she had no family, no friends, little to no cash, and had been on the street most her life she had a reason to celebrate. So she did, she’d already had more than a few shots and was dancing about, but she’d been making her way to sit at an empty seat drink in hand when someone bumped into her- or maybe she bumped into them?  “Shit- sorry.” Ella said loudly over the music as she heard the person echo similar sentiments, she looked up wiping her arm of the drink as the man in front of her did the same making sure it wasn’t on his shirt. They both looked at each other for a minute before the man stepped closer, “You alright?” She nods tilting her head back to look at him, “Yeah, my drink may have suffered but I’m good, what about you?”

He offered her a flirtatious smile, “Your poor drink, let me buy you another one?”

Ella smiled up at him matching his flirtatious expression, “Well I won’t say no to free drink.”

“Just the drink?” He asked

“Maybe more.” She teased, letting him lead her back towards the bar. As they waited for the drinks he leaned down as said into her ear, “I’m Nick, and you are?” 

“Ella, nice to meet you Nick.” She said in response, smirking up at him  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Present Day 

Ella had finished her residency and was starting a new job in a couple weeks. She’d already moved into her new apartment and decided that her first vacation was in order, a real one. She had a passport now and decided she wanted beaches and sun, and fresh food, and somewhere far away. A colleague of hers went to Greece every year so Ella decided to start there- clubs, food, beaches, a private little villa she could have privacy in if she wanted to- and she wanted to. She’d just gotten in and spent some time on the beach as others went to dinner, before having her own dinner - not yet use to the time change she was up and ready to go  even though it was late. She knew how she wanted to expend that energy as well, so she made her way to a club. The one closest to a few of the hotels since she was sure there were someone fellow tourists looking for one night fun. 

It was a small place outside that boasted a tiki styled bar that amused her, and a busy dance floor which pleased her.  She made sure her form hugging dress slid up a bit and she made her way to the bar to get a strong drink, but it wasn’t long before someone came up to her flirting and obviously interested in getting more which she was happy to take the attention. Eventually she made her way to the dance floor with them, eyes closing as she enjoyed it, and surprisingly the music she normally just danced to the beat and ignored anything else because the music never interested her. 

@hatestochange (hello lovely~)

send in " you and i both know that i was never going to listen to you. " for the sender to have ignored the receiver's instructions not to follow them into a dangerous situation.

Ella was glaring at the man who decided it was appropriate to ignore her words, it was dangerous. Though to be fair Nick also counted as dangerous, but for a far different reason. He was right though, you tell him not to do something and he did it. She had just hoped his self preservation was stronger than his desire to do what others told him not to do. She obviously was wrong, as she stood there red in the face with anger having just yelled at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Seriously, what is wrong with you? I told you not to go because it was dangerous and you made it that much more dangerous and the risk of collateral higher because you didn't for once in your life listen to someone! You could have been hurt or worse, do you have any care for your own life Nick? Because I am not seeing it."
