Prologue

My names Lauren, I'm 15 years old and I've never been to school in my life, I've been home schooled… well not really home schooled, see I have spent most of my life in a hospital, not because I've been ill but because my entire family work in hospitals, so I've had to go to work with my parents because obviously no one else could look after me.

I spend my days watching lectures with the interns and although it's highly frowned upon because I'm only 15, I enjoy watching my family members operate in the operating theatre from the viewing room.

I was only taught English, maths and science no other subjects, I don't really care much for schooling and sitting In classrooms learning pointless things that no matter what people say are not going to help me in future life. So I just learn the necessary ones I will need to get into med school.

I've always been quite intelligent when it comes to medicine, I could name every bone and muscle and organ and what they did and where they were located in the body by the age of 7 and by the age of 10 I could name every part of the brain and heart and how it worked and what each part did and now at the age of 15 I can look at most brain scans and be able to tell the problem and how to solve them, and look at peoples symptoms and blood reports e.c.t and can nearly always give the correct diagnosis, I can go through most medical procedures and name a lot of medicines and cures,

Everybody I meet tells me that I am going to be an amazing doctor or surgeon when I am older, I don't know about amazing but I definitely want to follow in the footsteps of my family, people think it's impossible that I know so much about medical stuff, but to be honest so would everyone if they were constantly surrounded by it since the day you were born, and also I guess it helps that my gran was a female pioneer in medicine and created the grey's theory, my aunt is a top neonatal doctor, my uncle is a top specialist in plastic surgery, my dad is one of the best neurologists in America, and my mum is a general surgeon and the rest of my family are in some form of medical field.

I guess my future is inevitable, and as much as I enjoy my life sometimes I wish I could be normal, go to school, get a boyfriend, and some actual friends, without the weight of my whole families expectations of me pressuring me into making decisions I might not have made if the circumstances were different.

I've never really been that in control of my life never really made my own decisions maybe that's why he appealed to me so much, that raggedy, charming 16 year old, he was always in the hospital for some reason, mainly because he got himself into a lot of trouble although he insisted trouble followed him around, he flirted with so many people at the hospital, he was obviously a bit of a player but for some reason I fell in love with his good looks and cheeky smile, and despite what my parents and family would say about him, the rumours and gossip about this frequent patient, I felt sorry for him, and although everyone said he was a bad boy I fell in love, completely and utterly head over heels.

Yes me Lauren Shepherd the girl who has spent her life shielded from normality was in love
