Chapter: 7

Do I want to stay or i should just leave I still haven't figured that out yet mom is on vacation with her "girlfriend" leaving the house emptier than usual , i put on sports clothes and take a morning jug.

Listening to my fletcher song alongside the wind freshness , pumping more adrenaline to my brain , letting me run fast and letting go of any strings and stress , it sure is a peaceful morning.

Ran 3.5 miles within minutes taking an hour and a half that's progress , I stopped at the nearby bodega place witch is the best place to get fresh fruit milkshakes in the city of LA and the luxurious peers and business owners live within reach.

"Hey Sol what's cooking "I heard

Turning around to find Zion

"Oh hey Z ... nothing much how about you "i say

"Im all good your up for breakfast on luch "he ask

I just nodded in acceptance and we got in my car driving to the cafe .

We're technically in the car silence is bothering me again and figured to break it "So how's Janel doing "i ask

He smiled "she's 6 months pregnant and your the god mother I'm telling you "

"Alright bet bro I got you , you just got to get me a beautiful girl like me and you're gucci "

He laughed and so i did two ,

Hes my lifetime best friend ever since the beginning and i never seen him this happy , im glad he's doing great.

We arrived at the cafe and sat next to the window and the waitress came by"morning what can i get you guys "

looking at the menu i ordered a Frappuccino with pancakes along with bacon and eggs sandwich , he had blueberry pancakes with americano.

"So tell me sol did you meet a great lady yet"he asked

If he asked me that two weeks ago I would've been sad and gloomy but gladly i did but still didn't have the chance to ask her out.

"Uh well im still on the lookout for any chocolate but what can i say I found me a vanilla but still haven't got the guts to ask"i say

He giggles at me "well why not "

"First of all shes a doctor and im only 20  next week second of all I doubt she likes women , and she kind of gives the vibe to but I don't know I couldn't tell"

"How can you tell if you haven't even asked you need to at least hang out or go on a date with her "

"I doubt she would go out with me im not datable so why would she"

He wanted to say more but or food arrived forcing him to stop questioning.

"So how do you feel about becoming a dad"

"Well it's quite good but you don't know until you try so well have that talk after 2-3 months "he say

I couldn't hold my smile longer" well apparently you're gonna be a great one because i got your back " i teased

"Damn right you are" he stated "you know life is short sol and if you don't confront her you'll never stand a chance to " a call interrupted our lunch made him leave earlier than planned.

I just paid the bell and walked out of the caffe straight to the parking lot , holding a million question in mind , the road silence hits different to let you drown in the ocean of your own thoughts and questions.

I hear my phone rings and it was elena .

"Hey sol you free tonight " she says

"Yeah shoot i got nothing "

"Well how about karaoke date with me and two other girls and the boys coming two"

I didn't want to say no mind you the last time went badly so I just played along "yeah sure send me the addy"

I ended up the call looking around me it took seconds to acknowledge wher i was and it shocked me a bit.

I got out of my car walking towards the main entrance checking my shoulders looking for her .

"We have doctor Aiden coming in with trauma patient with first degree burns alongside more casualties on the way , there 10-15 minutes away " the nurse in reception shouted making people running in the hallways

I had a bad feeling about me being here , the day already jacked full not pleasant , although twisted me decided to stick around and wait for her.

**Aiden's POV**

Shit what's taking us so long on the road it couldn't get any worse than losing this patient "don't you think your going to slow " i complained

"Doctor we cant go any fast slow traffic" the paramedic clammed

Checking the patient's pulse , and it's getting slower as if her heart is in distress to pump blood well enough.

"Give her 2 milligrams of morphine to sedate the pain tell we reach the hospital " i demand

17 minutes later we're in the hospital we got her to plastic department and our finest doctor started working on her skin treatment.

"Page me when next trauma arrives this day doesn't feel right" i say to the reception

Getting to the change room to put on some scrubs and take short minutes of rest ,apparently my eyes wondered around as if my nose got a hint of rosemary fragrance , to launch disturbing fast heart beats.

A hand touched my sleeves caught my attention dark green eyes landing to mine forcing the memories to get in line for the show case of feelings , doubt , and maybe a hint of rejection.

I cleard my throat "hey solana is everything alright " i ask

Nods scratching her hair hesitantly "yes everything is great- ah-can i have a word in private "

I just nodded walking to the ER parking spot witch is terribly quiet , we sit on the concrete chair where we first talked.

Taking out my cigarettes lighting one up , quickly taking deep breath's and the silence took advantage of the situation.

I guess she was prepping her speech but my inpatient self got the best of me" so what do you want to talk about "i ask directly

She takes a deep breath snatching my cigarette "sorry but I need it more than you do "she claims

"Wow okay you could've-

"No I wanted to- um you know-

"I know what solana is everything okay with you and that friend of yours " i didn't want to sound rude but i had to

"Everything is great but it's just the fact that I feel comfortable speaking with you than her , the thing is that my heart is developing something out of the blue for someone that I might regret taking risks for.

My brain hurts from processing her words I tried to make the best advice but she got the wrong address for sure.

"Well im not the one to take advice from but life is about experiences and challenges you either get on board or you leave for someone who has the guts to do so , it might outweigh you but believe me fulfilling or reaching your goal has a different perspective and taste" i finished and my pager buzzed ambulances lined up and I waived to her as goodbye taking in patients.
