A/N: This is the prologue to "My Mentor's New Mentee" - a story in which I plan to introduce my Original Female Character Jamie-Lea Dean, whose devastating view of her boyfriend's death leads her life into medicine and Sacred Heart Hospital. This prologue fought me tooth and nail! Very short, I know, but it is only the prologue!
This will eventually have OFC "Jamie"/Surprise Character.
Prologue
Jamie-Lea Dean stepped off her bus, smiling to her friends and walking hand-in-hand with her current boyfriend. She waved enthusiastically as the doors closed, still managing to hear her friends' screams of "school's out for the summer!" and nonsense words of happiness. Jamie sighed, content as her boyfriend slung an arm around her shoulders and they watched the bus full to the brim of excited teens drive off. The pair turned and started to head towards Jamie's house, looking both ways before starting to cross the small road when Jamie's bag split open.
"Hold on," Jamie said, unhooking herself from Keith and leaning down near the pavement to pick up the several books that had fallen out of her bag.
"I've something to give you, Jammy," Keith said happily, turning to look at her in the middle of the road. "It's a surprise!"
Jamie turned to look at him, a smile on her face that stopped before it had fully formed.
"Keith, no!" she screamed, seconds late as the car slammed into Keith and sent him sailing through the air. "No!"
Keith's body hit the ground and there was an audible crunch of shattering bones.
He died 23 minutes after arriving at Sacred Heart Hospital, the 38 minute journey giving the paramedics who responded enough time to stabilise his heart. Keith handed Jamie a small felt-covered box and gave a pained plea for her to keep her heart full of love.
Jamie later thought that she heard her own heart break when the heart monitor flat-lined.
