Early one morning, before the sun even had the chance to rise, Kelly lay in bed next to her husband Christopher, unable to sleep. She wanted to believe that she was just working too hard, that there was too much going through her mind, but by the time 3am rolled around, she admitted that she wasn't thinking about work. There was something else bothering her. For the past several days, things had been rocky between her and Christopher, but everything just seemed to get worst that night. They had always been able to work things out before they went to bed, but that night they hadn't. Instead, they had gone to bed not speaking to each other. Kelly knew it was partially her fault, but she also knew she wasn't entirely to blame.
Not wanting to wake Christopher up, Kelly quietly slid out of bed and put her bathrobe on before walking out of the bedroom, trying not to make any noises. After peaking in on Kasey, Kelly then walked down the hallway into the study where she took a scrapbook out of the closet. After checking to make sure it was the right one, she walked down the steps and placed the book down on the kitchen table. She then began to boil a pot of water for tea before sitting down at the table and opening the book to the first page. Inside contained every piece of memorabilia from the day that her and Christopher first meet until the present day. She was amazed by how much she had kept, but nevertheless, each piece seemed to tell a story.the story of her and Christopher. The truth was, her and Christopher had meet 20 years ago that day. It had been 6 months after she had been shot, and although she had recovered physically, mentally she was still struggling. Images of that day had been haunting her, and she had been unable to return to the job that she once loved. Charlie had pulled some strings and gotten her hired at a local hospital as a nurse, but even that couldn't erase what had happened.
Flashback: Twenty years in the past, at a local hospital, Kelly walks down the hallway distributing medicine to the patients when one of the doctors approaches her holding a chart.
"Miss Garrett, would you mind giving a sedative to the patient in Room 321. Thanks."
As usual, Kelly just nodded as she walked over to the medicine closet and got the sedative. Unlike when she worked for Charlie, all she could do here was nod and do as she was asked. After all, she was still the new person, and therefore what she had to say rarely mattered.
When she walked into room 321, she was immediately attracted to the man that lay in the bed. His right leg was covered from his foot to just over his knee with a cast and by the look on his face, he seemed to be in a lot of pain. As she walked up to him, he seemed relieved to see her there.
"Please tell me you're here with something to kill this pain." the guy asked her.
"Yes, just hold your arm out and then I'll give you the shot."
"Thank God. I feel like my leg is about to fall off."
"Don't worry. Dr. Goldburg is a great doctor. I doubt he'd let that happen. Now just hold still" With that, Kelly stuck the needle into his arm hoping that it would at least take some of the pain away. "So what did you do, anyway?"
"This.. this was stupid. I was mountain biking with some friends and went a little crazy. According to the doctor, its only broke in two places and I should be able to walk on it again in three months."
"Ouch. It must have hurt a lot when it happened." Kelly stated sympathetically, just hearing about it was painful.
"Actually, I think it hurts more now. Then again, I was unconscious for a few minutes and then I went into shock after that. By the way, my name's Christopher."
"Hi Christopher. I'm Kelly. So how long is Dr. Goldburg keeping you here."
"With any luck, just over night. One of the nurses is suppose to train me on crutches later today. Any chance that could be you?"
"I might be able to arrange something. You should probably be getting some rest right now though. I'll come back later to see how you are."
"I'll be waiting for you."
After leaving his room, Kelly approached the head nurse and changed the assignments so that she would be teaching Christopher how to use crutches later that afternoon. She didn't know why, but there was something about him that appealed to her.
