A beautiful life ever after
Dr. Jenny Hicks
Spring Rd.
The phone rings in the darkened corner of a Halifax apartment. A layer of dust an inch thick rests on the phone indicating its lack of use. Finally, the machine picks up the call. Through the silence a women’s raspy voice can be heard, “Jennifer, pick-up, I know you’re there,” a pause. “Ok, well I am heading out with the kids and will try calling you again this afternoon, please try and go outside, it’s beautiful out.”
Dr. Jennifer Hendricks, a 24 year-old prodigy who has already received her medical degree from Harvard and finished her residency in neo-natal oncology sits listening to her sister’s millionth attempt to get her out of her apartment. She is currently not practicing (to her sister’s dismay), because she found an amazing apartment on Spring Garden Road and has not left it for the past 16 months. Directly across from the Public Gardens, she can people watch all day long, so why bother actually going outside she argues.
In Jennifer’s earlier days (i.e. late teens) she was a party-girl, but somewhere along the way of attending Mensa meetings and fast-tracking it through medical school she realized she preferred daily soap operas to interacting daily with real people. Jennifer does not like to acknowledge that it probably has more to do with the love of her life leaving her at the alter, then it does her love of General Hospital.
Tomorrow Jennifer is supposed to do a phone interview for a highly sought after position at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She is still trying to decide whether she can really justify missing whether Sonny Carinthos and Carly are going to get back together for a job.
Many friends and family have tried to persuade Jennifer to join the real world again, to no avail. She claims to be content, a nice Asian man delivers her groceries once a week and thanks to the Internet, she has joined Netflix and can see all of the latest movies. Jennifer tries to avoid the romantic-comedies as best she can but has never been able to turn down a good chick flick. These are the worst days, the days she sits there and thinks about Steve. Where is he now? She wonders. Did he run off and marry that nurse?
Jennifer and Steve had gone to medical school together and fallen in love after six-months of absolutely despising each other…very romantic. They had stayed together through medical school, through residency and it seemed like the logical next step to get married. So in front of 500 of their closest friends and family they planned to say their “I do’s”. Jennifer had felt a little nervous, but when Steve was a half hour late a tight feeling started to develop in her throat. This feeling has not left yet, Jennifer has been to doctor after doctor, all of whom claim there is nothing physically wrong with her.
Jennifer knows it is most likely psychological rather than physical, but is choosing to stay in this beautiful downtown apartment until she feels the need to see someone besides Nikolas Cassadine.
