'CAUSE YOU AND I

Reaching his arms forward, his arms found a pillow. There was only one thing worse than going to bed alone, and that was waking up alone. Oh how Thom hated it! It made him feel icy inside. A feeling he did not normally wish to have in his heart. It wasn't really for the sex, that he liked someone in his bed, although that was a bonus. He just felt calmer and warmer when someone was sleeping next to him. Perferably it would be a hot chick... but he might be happy with a hobo too. Hobo's were awesome! Gotta love that homeless man scent!

Grumbling softly, Thom pulled himself out from the sheets, lazily walking into the bathroom to start a shower. He normally loved mornings, and afternoons, and evenings, and nights; he was an all day everday person. When he woke up alone though, his day usually started sour. Not that he would let it show! That would never happen! Not on his watch! Thomas Blaine Parker was going to be the master of Pollution Patrol!.... That sounded a lot cooler in his head... But you know, whatever. After taking a cold shower to wake him up a bit more, Thom got dressed in his usual work attire. Alright, there was another thing. Patients were supposed to feel comfortable around people of his position, riiiiiight? So why did he have to pretend he was some god damn school teacher or something like that? Some of the rules around here.... They be cray!

Following the same morning ritual, Thom strode through the doors of White Springs toward the front offices, gathering his patient files, quickly looking them over, with a yawn before moving away to wake up these patients. Now he would just need to grab his daily energy drink and he would be ready to rock it like fucking Polly Pocket, just like he did every day. As much as this place annoyed Thom to the point of near destruction, it was really the best place for him. He could annoy people into wanting to better their lives. That idea was more leaning toward the level one, patients, not really the level three patients. He was no Rosco the clown. That could work though, if the roof caved in on The Lobby. Clown time for Thom. He almost liked the idea. Twisting balloons into animals for younger kids. Sounded like a dream! That was probably because Thom was too much of a kid at heart though. He never really did grow up. The lad had about the same level of maturity as a five year old. As Thom began to thumb through the patient's folder, he began to whistle slightly. Waking up was harrrrd tooooo doooo! Wait a second! Those weren't his files! Someone was antagonizing him, and the master of Pollution Patrol was 'bout to crack the case. The name was Parker, Thom Parker. The blond even caught his reflection in the shiny window and winked at himself, earning himself a look of disgust from the secretary.

i'm really gonna miss you picking fights,

Anna was never a morning person, never. Especially when she stayed late working with one of her patients. Especially when she didn’t get to sleep until at least three in the morning. The young woman’s eyes slowly opened, staring up at the ceiling. She let out a low, exhausted groan before sitting up and forcing herself out of bed. She was going to bed early tonight, no matter what her patients were doing. She walked over to the dresser and grabbed her work uniform before walking to the bathroom. She set her clothes on the bathroom counter, yawning softly as she stared at herself in the mirror. She had pretty big bags under her eyes and she was fairly pale today. She sighed slowly and shook her head, turning to the shower. She turned on the hot water, pulling off her pajamas before stepping in, wincing as it scalded her skin. She quickly turned the cold knob, standing in the corner and testing the water with her toes until it was at the right temperature. She stepped under the spray of warm water, closing her eyes, washing off the exhaustion, or as much of it as she could. When she was thoroughly shampooed, conditioned, and washed she stepped out, quickly drying off and then throwing on her work uniform. She towel dried her hair, throwing it up into a ponytail before walking out. She didn’t worry about makeup, she never did, and instead threw on a pair of shoes, grabbing her nametag before making her way to the door.

Anna stepped into her work place, White Springs Rehabilitation center for teens, and made her way to the front desk. She signed in and picked up her files, making her way to the break room. She needed a very big cup of coffee if she was going to make it through today. She poured herself a large cup of black coffee, taking a sip and making a face at how bitter it was, before walking over to the small round table in the middle of the room. She took a seat and started looking over her files, slowly sipping her coffee. After a moment she finally realized…these weren’t her normal patients. If these weren’t her normal patients then that meant…these were not her files. She let out a sigh of exasperation, slowly standing up. She could just tell today was not going to be a good day. She had to figure out whose files these were. She slowly flipped through the rest of her files, pursing her lips slowly as she recognized who they belonged to. Her friend, or whatever he could be considered, Thom. She groaned, picking up her coffee and taking a sip. She really didn’t want to and speak to him this early in the morning, but she had his files, so she would have to.

Anna and Thom had a bit of a history. It was full of up’s and down’s, mostly down’s, but they were friends. Or at least they were friends that day. The next day one of them might do something stupid and idiotic, most likely it would be Thom, and then they would not be friends anymore, until whoever’s fault it was gathered up the courage to apologize. Anna walked out of the break room, heading back towards the front desk, figuring she would start to look there. She spoke to the secretary for a moment before looking around, trying to spot the tall and charming blonde. Finally her eyes landed on his large build and she crossed over to him, tapping him on the shoulder. ”I got your files by mistake.” She held out the stack of files, taking a sip of her coffee, forcing a small smile. ”Apparently the secretary is a dumbass.” She nodded, folding her free arm over her chest, letting out a soft yawn. She was still pretty tired. ”Did you get my files by mistake or do I have to go track someone else down?”

'CAUSE YOU AND I

Thom scrambled through the files again. Who the hell was Sienna Lane? More importantly, who the hell would name their child that! Poor girl...Oh, she was hot. Hell yah, Thom would take her as a patient for the day. Give her a little lov'n. Give 'er a little self esteem boost. That's what he was good at! It was what he did. Some guys made cakes, some guys lifted weights. That shit wasn't good enough for ol' Thom. No. Thom here, he'd rather just talk to people for the rest of his life. The things people told him! It was unbelievable! How does some girl get gangbanged by a bunch of blokes in the middle of the day on a railroad... Oh wait...that was a court case. Poor blokes! Those girls were lying! And the girl that told him that was lying! There were crazy people around this place.

With a shrug, Thom tucked the files under his arm. He'd rather the crazies but under his watchful eye, than wreaking havoc in some small town. That's what those one girls did... Scottbury boys...Tsk tsk. Bitches be cray.

As Thom hurt a familiar voice his head whipped around. He could've just asked Anna to spend the night! It's not like she hadn't before. Okay, that time... he was hungover, and they weren't on the best terms. But now, things were different! Now they were almost like how the Spanish might call each other amigos...Yeah? Oh yeah! Thom honestly didn't know why people made such a big deal about people friend-zoning one and other. He'd be living the dream if he was friend zoned by all of his friends... Except for the lads, no, he didn't swing that way. But honestly! If Anna would friend zone him, their relationship would be in the best place possible! He'd be on top of the world... or was it a planet? Or was it a realm?

Anna had made a big deal about sleeping with him, before they were friends, but if they were friends now, life would be real. Everything would be great. He'd explore her a bit... She'd explore him... Yadayadayada... And the wheel of cheese, Thom liked to call his life, just kept on rolling by. Now, he did have Iris to think about. Yes, he really did like Iris. But he was also very scared that she was already currently in a committed relationship. Did Thom looked like he was down for some Iris sandwich with her "other" boyfriend... Damn, that proposed an interesting question... No! No, the third person always has to be a stranger! He had learned that one while watching Gossip Girl with one an old patient. That was a really good episode. Dan, Olivia and Vanessa? Whoa! Crazy!

After a few moments of starring off into space, the blond finally came back to reality, slightly stumbling over his feet. Anna was saying something about files? That's all they really talked about, wasn't it? Well by golly! It was Anna's lucky day! Thom was going to make an effort to be more than just co-workers! No! He was going to make sure of it! It's not like he didn't do it all the time. Let's be real, Thom could make a friend out of a sack of flour. That was a simple friend to make. Step one) get a sack of flour, step two) draw a face on bag of flour, step three) talk to sack of flour like it's your best friend. Yeah, that's how Thom usually made friends. He just treated them all like he'd known them for years; like they were already best pals. They probably were. That was the world according to Thom.
"Maybe you're the dumbass! Insert laugh track here!" Thom laughed softly, playfully punching her shoulder. He really did like Anna. She was a nice enough girl when she didn't have a stick up her ass... Those times were seldom to none. But that's what today was for, wasn't it?

"Your files? Oh... yeah... I guess I did get them," Thom stalled slightly, trying to trade her files for his own, without giving away his new hot patient. Sienna reminded him of a taco... Spicy looking. "There you are, banannie!"

i'm really gonna miss you picking fights,

Anna never really made friends with the other orderlies. She didn’t enjoy having a conversation with them in the break room; she didn’t enjoy having lunch on lunch break or going out for drinks after work. She liked focusing on her job, spending time alone. She was never a people person really. She was nice, sure, and she had friends, but no one really close to her, to know her secrets and to have sleepovers with, to scope out boys with and to truly be there for one another. Anna had her siblings for that though – they were her best friends, and she honestly didn’t mind. She loved her brother’s and sister’s, more than anything or anyone else. They were her whole world, and she frequently made trips up to New York to visit all of them. She made a mental note to call them when she got home from work today. She hadn’t talked to them in a few weeks and was really starting to get homesick. Florida was nice, but it was hot, very very hot. Nothing like her home in New York, or in Cape Cod. She missed the colder weather more than anything, besides missing her family.

Anna had never really liked Thom. He didn’t take his job very seriously, which was something that seriously aggravated the young blonde. This was a serious job, and therefore it should be taken seriously, right? Apparently he didn’t think the same way she did. When they first met they immediately butted heads. He hated her and she hated him just as much. Finally after weeks of fighting and attempting to get the other fired, they made a truce and went out for drinks, which is when they first slept together. Anna was very happy, as any girl would be, but when she found out Thom did not share the same feeling she was crushed. She didn’t talk to him for days, until finally he worked his way back into her life. And then a few days later he came to her apartment, claiming to only want to hang out, which is when they slept together the second time. Later she found out that he only came to her place because Iris had left him and he was looking for a way to get back at her. So now she was mad at him again, and definitely wasn’t planning on letting him back in at all.

Anna sighed as Thom finally responded, making a face as he playfully punched her shoulder. She held her cup of coffee tightly, watching it, afraid it would spill. She didn’t want hot coffee all over her hand. She would definitely be even more pissed if that happened. She forced a smile, at least attempting to be civil, before taking a sip of the coffee. She took the files from him, looking through them slowly before looking back up to him, sighing slowly. ”Give me Sienna’s file. Now.” She held out her hand for it, giving him a look. She wasn’t in the mood for his bullshit this early in the morning, especially him trying to steal one of her files so he could flirt with the patient. Thom was just a creep like that. ”You’re not allowed to sleep with patients, Thom. Or are you planning on getting fired?” That would sure make her life a whole lot easier. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about him disrupting her day, or night, anymore.

'CAUSE YOU AND I

Thom sighed and rolled his eyes, taking a long swig of this caffeinated drink. Why'd Anna always have to be like that? Always ruining life for him? Honestly! It was horrible! Like working with a Henrito burrito one hundred percent of the time. And Thom hated Henry! Literally hated him! There was only way to cure himself of her nasty buzz killing powers, and that was... Push her in front of a bus. That way, he wasn't exactly 'throwing' her under the bus, but the job was still getting done. It'd be awesome for him, awesome for the clinic. Hell, it'd probably even be awesome for Anna. Oh god! NO! He took that back! If Anna was dead...there would be nobody to irritate! Nobody to make him feel important! That's what Anna was for. She was like an ugly guy behind the cash register, the one you look at and think, yeah, I'm awesome. Anna was the definition of a self esteem boost! Not that Anna wasn't hot. She was, she was just... persnickety, and crotchety all the time. Sometimes that overpowered her hotness.

Alright, Thom never actually knew why he had disliked her at first. He usually just went with his gut feeling. The first time he'd met her, she seemed like that head nurse in that one book he had to read back in high school. The nurse with giant boobs, and orange lipstick, who bossed those black boys around. That was his first impression of her. After getting to know her a bit. She wasn't all that controlling, in fact she was a huge softy. At least when it came to him. He bet himself, that he could get her to become best friends with him.... He bet himself twenty bucks. Like actual male deer. God, that was going to be hard to gather, but somehow it'd happen. Maybe. It'd be awesome if he could pull it off though.

"Aw, c'mon now, Anna. I just wanted to have a cuddle with someone. Sometimes I get scared your icy glares will freeze over even the sun! Thom groaned teasingly, followed by a chuckle. God! It was so much fun to mess with Anna! She got so angry all the time! No he wouldn't have inappropriate relations with a patient! He could get someone that wasn't fucked in the head! He was awesome! Did she forget that? Was this Anna doubting his awesomeness? Thom just shrugged off the thought, and took another gulp of his energy drink. It was a God damn shame he hadn't known of the wonder of these liquid energy....somethings until this year! His mother never permitted the "drug"(what his mom called it, not him) in the house. If he would have been allowed, Thom would have been fucking valedictorian or some kind of shit like that! Yeah he was awesome! Could you overdose from too much caffeine? Oh goody! That would be hilarious! After chugging down the rest of the sugary liquid, he tossed the empty can at Anna. Boom, shacka locka! Bite me, Anna! Biiiiiite meeee!!!!!! Thom laughed, hugging the files to his chest, running down the hall.

i'm really gonna miss you picking fights,

Anna had hoped that today would be a good day. She hoped that she wouldn’t run into Thom and that he wouldn’t try and find her, because they both knew how much she hated him, and his mere presence would just ruin her day. Well, maybe not just his presence, just his attitude and how his voice sounded. It was just…so annoying to Anna. So optimistic and loud and obnoxious; it made Anna want to punch him. Anna never really hated anyone before she met Thom. He was just…so aggravating. It was pretty hard to describe, but he was like eyelash that fell you’re your eye, or that piece of gravel in your shoe, or that itch you can’t reach so it just gets worse and worse. He’s like all of those things, but put together. And that was why Anna didn’t like to be around him, or talk to him, or have to listen to him speaking. She attempted to avoid him every day, but it never really worked. They always would bump into each other, and sometimes she thought he made them run into each other on purpose, because it sure as hell wasn’t her doing.

Anna would never admit she had feelings for him, only because she knew the feelings weren’t mutual. He didn’t like her and probably never would, and she knew that. She wanted to be able to get over him, to move on and meet someone new. But for some reason she couldn’t. Her only option really would be to leave her job and go work somewhere else, but she couldn’t do that. She loved it here at White Springs. She loved her patients, the work environment. It was her dream job really, so she was just going to have to find another way. ”Thom, you can’t just have a….’cuddle’ with one of my patients. Go cuddle with one of your own patients. She rolled her eyes at the freeze comment, and shook her head. ”One, that’s impossible, and two, if they’re too cold for you, go buy yourself a heater.”[/n] She took a sip of her coffee that was already starting to get cold, and sighed. She took a big gulp before tossing the cup into the nearest trashcan and folding her arms around herself, cradling the folders to her chest. As she looked up, she dodged the tin can that was thrown at her head, and let out a soft growl as she watched him run away, shaking her head. ”What an idiot.” She sighed. She contemplated running after him for a moment, but instead decided on something better.

Anna made her way up to Sienna’s room, knocking on the door. She explained that Sienna’s schedule had been changed, and she was now supposed to go to therapy first and stay there until lunch. She also informed the young girl that if a tall, blonde guy approached her to scream because he was a criminal on the loose. The orderly escorted her patient to therapy before making her way downstairs with a small, triumphant smirk on her full lips. She headed into the cafeteria, grabbing a donut for herself as a reward and another cup of coffee, as she was not able to fully enjoy her first. She took a seat by herself and took a sip of her steaming hot coffee, smiling as she started to look over her files briefly.
