Selena awoke to yet another sound of her alarm she had going off as she got off the floor and went to turn off her alarm she got ready again for her shift missing her chance to take a shower due to her waking up late as is. As she decided to spray in dry shampoo to help with her hair she put her hair in a high ponytail not bothering to mess with it to much as she got dressed and went to her kitchen, she noticed the mess she made starting to remember what happened along with her already pounding headache she decided to go buy a coffee on her way to work feeling a little bit more rested than yesterday. As she got to her work and set everything down she saw Michael who looked at her with a frown and before he could say anything she interrupted.
I feel a lot better than yesterday. I'll just do my shift now and will take my time to enjoy my weekend and rest more. Selena said in a monotone voice not wanting to be home knowing she'd have another breakdown if she had to go back home.
Michael opened then closed his mouth looking like she did rest a bit more compared to yesterday and relented. Very well but if I think you are not well enough to continue on for this shift I will have you go home again. He said while sighing.
Taking that as her cue to start her shift she logged herself in and went about her duties, running the machines and sending out the scans to the right department. After another same work as if she was there but not there, more like a zombie she was finally due for her lunch. As she went to the lunch room she ignored everyone until she heard her name being spoken.
I’de rather be in Selena’s shoes, getting pity for losing her husband compared to Luke cheating on me. When she’s walking around wearing her wedding ring and looking all mopey she gets to have more breaks and time off, I could be getting that and even gifts. Everyone knows she's using Adam’s death as an excuse to get more attention.
Upon hearing those words enraged Selena in a way she never could have thought it would. Slamming the fridge closed she stormed angrily towards Hannah the wannabe hotshot of the department she grabbed her chair and forcefully threw her out of the chair.
What the hell- Hannah stopped upon seeing the look on Selena's face, one where she feared if she said another word she might attack her.
I don’t care about you wanting to spread rumors. I don’t give a fuck if you want to try and seduce our director; hell I really don’t care if your trying to gain sympathy using the lame excuse of Luke cheating on you when we all know he doesn’t. though I can see why if he ever does. You flirt with every man in our department, you are jealous and act like a child. A CHILD. If I were Luke I would've left your ass a long time ago. He's a saint considering how long he put up with YOU. If you want to fix your relationship, here's a piece of advice: QUIT flirting and making other men uncomfortable. Not a lot of people like you acting all haughty and making rumors against other women, just because you have ties to this hospital. You can say what you want about me but you leave MY husband's name and my relationship with Adam out of your filthy mouth otherwise there will be dire consequences that even your ties here won’t help you. Selena said dripping more and more hatred in each word already having to hear her slandering her name for years and seeing how she finds amusement wrecking other couples' relationships.
But-I-You cant treat me this way you will be fired for attacking me. Hannah said, trying to stand her ground while her face paled.
But-I-You- shut the hell up with your fake voice you damn try hard. Even if I get fired, guess what? I'll make sure it is for a damn good reason. Selena said, taking a menacing step forward.
The altercation from when Selena snapped after hearing all of the rumors, being treated poorly and gossiped about throughout the years from various people. The other staff who even put more work on her not thinking she'd stand up for herself was shocked. The once loud breakroom now fully silent, where you can hear a pen drop, everyone was watching, shocked not knowing what to do. While watching Selena stare down Hannah the director finally came rushing and demanded both girls into the office for an immediate discussion.
As Selena and Hannah went into Michaels office Hannah started sniffling. Michael Selena just went after me for no reason. I was just sitting and enjoying my meal with- Save it Hannah another colleague came forward and recorded everything including what you said earlier before what you said regarding Selena. Michael said disappointed in Hannah.
As there is a lot to discuss regarding both of you currently I will be sending both of you home, while I investigate and consider the disciplinary action for both of you. Michael replied.
Selena, knowing it was futile to argue and upset at herself for not just ignoring it and keeping her emotions bottled in, decided to get up and gather her belongings before swiftly making her exit to her car.
Hannah, angry about getting in trouble, grabbed Selena's arm preventing her from getting in her car.
This is all your fault. It should only be you getting in trouble. I didn't do anything wrong. Hananh snapped, not believing she had done anything wrong.
You know what Hannah just stop. You are responsible for your own actions. Every action always has a reaction, be it in a good or bad way; it is especially true in our job. I will not be your doormat, grow up and take responsibility. Selena said, sighing deeply before ripping her arm away and jumping into her car before Hannah could say anything more that would cause them to get into more trouble than they already were.
