Something I wrote before the jorven ship crashed and burned
Jasmine was exhausted. There was no other way that she could put it.Her short blonde hair had been scraped back into a messy ponytail and her black mascara was a smudged mess around her weary eyes. Yet another day being mentored by Holby's very own matriarch had taken its toll, not that she cared to admit it of course. She felt almost as if a flurry of patients had been prodding and poking at her body all day rather than the other way around. It had seemed like it was her own heart going under the knife.
The door of the apartment she shared with flatmate Morven seemed like long-awaited bliss in comparison to the bustling corridors of AAU. Normally, Jasmine craved the excitement and constant work that her job brought but right now she was glad to have been persuaded to go home. Her keys jingled in her hands as she attempted to muster the last remnants of energy she had to unlock the door rather than just stand there staring at it like she had been doing for the previous ten minutes.
Upon entering the flat Jasmine couldn't help but feel a slight pang of disappointment as she realised Morven was still on shift and wouldn't be home for another few hours yet. The dark haired vibrant girl lit up the flat. Jasmine could always count on her warm laughter to bring a smile to her face even when she was on the brink of passing out from exhaustion. If only she could admit her feelings for her flatmate, Jasmine pondered, she would never need caffeine again. Even in her absence, Morven could be found in every inch of the place; from the photos of her and Arthur on the windowsill to the gigantic eclectic cd collection the girls shared and even in the mustard yellow blanket she had left on the sofa getting ready in a rush this morning. The blanket was Morven's favourite and like last night she often fell asleep nestled in it whilst watching some sort of documentary the subject of which Jasmine could never quite remember. Jasmine's contribution to the flat of the other hand was not quite so homely and was mainly remnants of uneaten takeaways that she had neglected to throw away.
Plonking herself down on the lumpy secondhand sofa Jasmine recalled the long shift she had just completed. Everything these days seemed like it was just one long blur. She had admitted defeat and missed out on the operation she so had been longing for just because she was too tired. Disappointment couldn't properly describe how she felt even though she knew that it was the right thing to do.Even she couldn’t power through the wave of exhaustion that she had been drowning in since she was placed under the watchful eye of Miss Campbell.
The lines between deep sleep and a hazy consciousness had become so thin that Jasmine didn’t realise when she fell into a slumber where she sat. Nor did she realise when Morven returned home with the same sinking feeling upon discovering her roommate wasn’t available to listen to her stories. She even didn’t realise how the sunshine girl yearned for her too.
