me and I follow her out. When we get out, Doctor Wilson is standing at the desk. When he notices me, he calls me over. I can see the sympathetic smile on his face as I near closer, I hate smiles like that, I know they’re only a kind way of offering comfort but I never realized how much they hurt. It’s like someone saying ‘I know your loved one is dying, but there’s nothing I can do. I hope you’re ok.’ When I stop in front of him, he reaches out and places his hand on my shoulder.
    “Nev, I know you and Jase are close and at this point it seems you’re the only support he has, so that’s why I’ve made the decision to take you off his service.”
    I open my mouth, and then close it again. “Why?”
    He smiles at me. “You know why Nev, I can’t have you on his service and be support for him, it will interfere with your work.”
    He’s right, I know he’s right and honestly, at this point, my only concern is Jase.
    “I understand,” I say in a small, tired voice.
    He smiles and touches my shoulder. “You’ll swap beds with Tanya, ok?”
    I nod, exhaling a deep breath. “Thank you Doctor Wilson, I appreciate it.”
    He nods and picks up the chart he was holding. “I know what it’s like to have someone you love sick, so long as you keep up with your job, I don’t mind you spending time with him.”
    “Thank you.”
    I gather my things and say goodbye to everyone, then I head home. I live in a small unit that I manage to pay for on my own, without a house mate. It’s a little two bedroom, two bathroom set up, but it’s mine and it’s my place to get away. When I get in, I turn on the lights and stare around the small space. It’s simple, but modern. A small cream coloured kitchen, a small lounge with maroon couches, a long hall that breaks off into the bathroom, bedrooms and laundry.
    I drop my purse and walk down the one long hall until I reach my room. As I change into some comfortable clothes, I think about Whiskey. It surprises me that he hasn’t spoken to Jase, I know that they had a fight, but nearly five years? That seems excessive, even for him. I think about the boy I once knew and loved so deeply. He was always hot tempered and flew off the handle far too easily but that’s what we loved about him. Jase always had a way of calming him down. They just seemed to fit each other, they worked with each other and they calmed each other. It was a crazy strong bond.
    “Where’s Whiskey?” I ask, gripping Jase’s arm.
    He turns and smiles at me with that beautiful, dimpled grin that stops most girls.
    “He ran off when he saw you dancing with James.”
    I roll my eyes. “Did he not see that we were like…a full meter apart? I was being nice to him, I felt bad.”
    Jase laughs and shrugs his large shoulders. “I know that, but you know Whiskey, he has fire in his veins.”
    I nod, unable to argue that one. “He does. Were you jealous too?” I tease.
    Jase wraps an arm around me. “Nah, I know I’m the only man you have eyes for…well Whiskey too, of course.”
    I playfully shove his shoulder. “Oh you know that do you?”
    He nods and gives me that big, cheeky grin. “Heck yeah I know that.”
    I giggle, and finish it with a sigh. “I suppose I should go and find him.”
    “He’ll be on the sand, pummelling the closest tree.”
    “How am I ever going to control that temper of his?” I sigh, kissing Jase’s cheek before rushing out of the party.
    I cross the road quickly and step down onto the beach. This time of the year in Brisbane, Australia is warm. It’s a mix of humidity and heat, with an occasional downpour of rain. I rush across the sand, letting my eyes scan quickly over the vast area as I go. I finally see Whiskey sitting down by the water. He’s sitting on the sand letting his fingers trail through the shallow water. He’s getting wet, but he doesn’t seem to care. I stop a moment and take him in, letting my eyes travel over every perfect inch of him. Whiskey
