Noah
“I’m sorry, Noah,” Dr. Johnson says, barely able to look me in the eye. “The
money they offered me was far more than I was expecting to retire with.”
He looks out the window, his shoulders hunched in defeat, and I follow
his gaze. I expected to be in his seat one day. I imagined myself looking out
this very window the way he’s doing right now, watching patients drive in
and out of the clinic’s parking lot.
My gaze roams over the doctor’s office that was supposed to become
mine one day, my heart sinking. I spent months interviewing in search of the
perfect practice to join. In the end, I decided to work for Mr. Johnson because
he promised he’d let me take over the clinic within a few years. Had I known
that he’d sell it just months after I started, I’d never have accepted his offer.
“And you’re certain that they don’t need another general practitioner?”
Dr. Johnson shakes his head. “They want the clinic, but not the staff. I’ve
tried to reason with them, but they won’t budge on it.” He inhales deeply, a
hint of concern in his eyes. “I know this puts you in a bad position, Noah. I’m
sorry to do this to you, and with such late notice too.”
I nod in understanding, even as worry gnaws at me. I can’t blame the old
man. He’s only doing what’s best for him and his family. Had I been in his
position, I probably would have done the same.
I rise from my seat and offer Dr. Johnson my hand. He shakes it, his grip
tight and an apologetic look in his eyes. I was looking forward to learning
from him for at least a few more years, but I should’ve known better. I never
should’ve expected as much as I did. Life has a way of letting me down every
time I get my hopes up.
I’m overcome with worry as I make my way home. I’m drowning in
student debt, and my career isn’t starting the way I planned. I thought med
school would be my ticket to financial security, but so far all it has landed me
with is crippling debt.
Dr. Johnson is letting me go with one month’s notice, but that might not
be enough time to find something new.
The house is quiet when I walk in, and today the silence feels suffocating.
I pause in the hallway, my eyes drifting over the family photos my sister and
I hung on the walls. I spent years studying in an attempt to follow in my
father’s footsteps, and part of me feels like I’m not living up to the dreams he
had for me.
My sister and I tried so hard to turn this into a home, to leave behind the
memories of our parents’ blood staining the floor in our old house. Without a
job, I’ll lose the home Aria and I built.
