Hello and happy Thursday!

I'm new to this archive but not FanFiction. I've written for Kickin' It, iCalrly and Austin and Ally. Even though I didn't want to start a new story, I did. And so, I bring you 'Complicated Web of Love'.

This story is loosely based off of the book and movie, 'Something Borrowed' and a little bit if 'Grey's Anatomy'. It'll have some of the same ideas and storyline, but I'll add my own twist to it. I'll try to keep the characteristics as close as possible. This is all in Riley's POV and I don't know how often I'll be updating.

It may be a little confusing in the beginning, but it'll make more sense as we go along.

Enjoy!

When I stepped towards my dream and suddenly got into a situation I couldn't control; I wasn't prepared for what was about to happen. Of course I didn't know what I was walking into and no one ever expects to be put into that position, but I guess I was one of the unlucky one. And now. I've dug myself into a deeper hole I can't get out of.

Confused? Sorry. Let me introduce myself. I'm Riley Matthews, 28 and a Pediatrics Attending at New York Hospital. And this is my story about my complicated and chaotic life.

OoOoOoOo

It all started six years ago as I standing in front of the huge but glorious building that will soon become my second home, I can't help but marvel at the beauty and excitement that's about to come.

I see handfuls of people rushing past me, all going about and starting their day as I take a deep breath and follow suit, ready to start my new career and life.

Upon entering the hospital, I follow the instructions I received in the mail and quickly make my way to the guest locker room. I'm so busy running down the hall, I don't notice someone exiting a room off to the side as a I crash right into them, sending the both of us to the ground. "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry," I ramble my apologies as I get up and extend the hand to my victim.

A deep chuckle grabs with my attention as I'm now suddenly nervous and embarrassed when I see a guy, a really good looking guy sitting on the ground. "It's fine. No need to worry. Are you okay, though? You seem to hit me pretty hard," the guy replies, taking my hand that's insanely greeted by tingling sensation that runs all the way up my arm.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I don't mean to be such a klutz. I'm just in such a rush. I didn't realize I was this late," I explain, slowly releasing my hand from his and dust myself off as the warming sensation is replaced by coldness and I think, 'Hmmm. Well that's weird' to myself, not use to this feeling.

"Glad to hear and I understand. Well, I'll let you go then. Have a good day," the guy continues as we locked eyes for the first time and I'm immediately drawn to his memorizing emerald eyes.

"Th-thank you. You too," I stutter, turning on my heels and continuing my way down the hall.

I quickly throw my bag into my locker and then find OR 1, the butterflies and anxiety in high gear. Upon entering the room, I see about twenty to twenty-five people standing around, looking at everything and one another, trying to scope out the competition.

A middle age woman enters the room no more than a few minutes later, dress and a simple black dress and white lab coat. "Hello new residence," she greets with a small smile. "Each of you comes here today hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition. Eight of you will have at least one near-death experience. Five of you will get in some sort of vehicular collision and two of you will die. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you."

As everyone's listen to the speech, I feel like I'm being watched and slowly turn to my right to see emerald eyes staring at me. And now that I'm actually looking at him, all of him, I hate to admit that he's a handsome human being. Tall, lean and all man. He gives me a wink and smirk that makes my heart beat faster and I can't believe how a few simple gestures can affect me so much. I know it's not good and I have to stop it. This guy will be nothing but trouble and a distraction. But somehow, I return the gesture and give him a shy smile.

OoOoOoOo

After a long day at the hospital, I return home, ready for a nice bubble bath and some ice cream but am startled but not surprised that my two best friends, Maya and Farkle have let themselves into my apartment and are arguing in my kitchen.

Maya and I have been best friends all our lives. We're as close as sisters and family. We share clothes, secrets and even the same love from one particular boy. We survived every bump, twist and turn of life of together, no matter the obstacle. Maya helped me embrace my eccentric personality and I helped Maya believe in all the good the world has to offer.

We were inseparable and took on the world, one step at a time. We were lucky to one another in our lives because sometimes the world is a cruel place. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, the world pushes back and makes you fight even harder to survive.

Maya had a hard childhood but never let that define who she was. That's what made her stronger and made me appreciate and admire the beautiful friend and person she was. And me? Well, I was too sweet for my own good and strangely enough, that gave Maya something to strive for.

And Farkle, bless his heart. He is our brother and peacemaker. That poor guys has been through more teenage girl drama than any guy should ever have witness. But, the three of us are family and always stand by each other and that, that's how we survived with our dignity and heads held high.

We're sitting around my small dining room table, eating pizza, drinking beer and wine and discussing our days like we always do when we're together. Maya jumps at the chance to talk about herself and life as she talks about her grand opening at her new art gallery that's coming up in a few months. Of course, we already know this. Known this for months now as Farkle rolls his eyes but exclaims how excited he is for her. I too agree with the news as I know Maya has wanted this for years and has worked so hard to make it happen.

Farkle talks about a new invention his company is working, going into to great detail with every little bit of information. I try my hardest to keep with up his big words and enthusiasm, but get lost half way through. But Maya, never the sly talker, interrupts Farkle mid story and tells him to wrap it up. He does, but not without flipping Maya off and sharing that he'll be gone for a few weeks before Maya's opening.

And lastly, like always, two pair of eyes are one me, wanting to hear all about my day. "So, how was your first day as a doctor?" Maya questions with eager eyes.

"It was okay. We didn't do too much today. Got a tour of the hospital and met our attendings. And Maya, for the last time, I'm not a doctor yet. I still have years before that," I remind as kindly as I can.

"Did you meet a lot of people?" Farkle wonders curiously.

Instantly my mind goes to emerald eyes, but I quickly shake that thought away, needing to get him out of my mind. Hell, I don't even know him. "No, not really. But, I'm sure by the end of the week I'll be friends with someone," I calmly mention.

"And maybe, you'll hook up with a hot doctor. Wouldn't that amazing?" Maya winks as I feel my cheeks heating up.

Oh, if only she knew what happen today? But for now, it's my secret to keep.

And there you have it folks, the first chapter.

Please read and review to let me know what you think.

Thanks and until next time,
