Mystery Man
(A/N: So I'm reposting this story in hopes that someone will "adopt" it and finish it for me. I have had writers block on it for 3 years now and it's not coming to me. Please tell me in your review if you wish to take it.)
Carol's P.O.V
I hate the dentist, first they say you don't brush well enough, then they drill your teeth until you think you're gonna go crazy. I just came back from a torture session there and decided to go to the ER to get some compassion from my friends. I know people say hospitals smell but dentists offices make me wanna puke! Elizabeth just asked me out to dinner so I decided to accept. Her car is in the shop, but since she can't drive a stick shift I guess I'll drive. My radio is broken so we have to talk, and I hate talking (yeah right!).
5 minutes later
Damn! We just got hit by some maniac who looks suspiciously like Doug and ran off (hmm... I wonder), then again I may just have a concussion. I hope Elizabeth's alright she doesn't seem to be conscious. My back is killing me! Oh shit! I just remembered I bought that barbeque skewer from that garage sale and it was a little rusty. I hope that the paramedics come soon I'm really worried about Elizabeth. Ok the paramedics finally came...and the police ...and the firemen. Oh god, I'm beginning to really hate this day. I hope Elizabeth will forgive me. It's my entire fault. Oh god Doris is in this rig. She'll make such a big fuss over this. She said Elizabeth was fine but I didn't like the tone of voice. It only took 15 times until she would answer me. She said I might have spinal cord damage. Oh JOY, we're going to county, just what I need. People acting like the grim reaper came to visit. The last time I came in an ambulance even somewhat like this is when I O.D'd. I don't even want to think of what people will say when I'm conscious. Doris said she'd try and stay for a while and try to tell me about Elizabeth's progress since she knows they won't dare tell me a thing. Ok they're about to open the door, I wonder if they told them it was us? Well I am about to find out. I guess not because Kerry looked so pale that I thought she would pass out. They started asking me all these questions about myself and the accident because Elizabeth is still unconscious; they said she had a mild concussion and internal bleeding, but nothing life threatening. They won't take the collar off of me and my neck is starting to hurt plus I'm getting tired but they keep telling me to stay awake. I think they are afraid of me bleeding out. (Like that will ever happen to me). Ok, so they say I may have spinal cord damage, that's great, and now my mom is here. I think they're going to take me to surgery, but at least they gave me some nice pain killers. I hope they catch whoever did this to us. I guess I'll go to sleep now because they're not forcing me to be awake. But it's very hard to sleep when there is something sticking out of your back!
Elizabeth's P.O.V
I
love a hard day's work and all but this is crazy. I don't
understand why they have soon much paper work to give us to do every
single day of the year. I mean even when we're taking the day off
they find some sort of paper work to give you. Today, Robert put me
on a "suspension" until I did all of his paper work which he was
apparently too "busy" for. I need a night out with someone, but
whom? I know no one here because all these surgeons are so gruff, and
Peter and I broke up so maybe I'll go down to the ER. Hmm I wonder
if Carol would like to go out with me. She looks beat but I haven't
seen her all day. She said yes and she said she could drive instead
of us taking the EL Train. (My car is in the shop). She's been a
little bit depressed ever since Doug left so maybe I can cheer her
up.
5 min. later We just got hit by some bloody idiot whom Carol
thinks looks like Doug. I think I may have broken my ankle very badly
and my stomach hurts some but I'm more worried about Carol because
she seemed to be stabbed by something in her back. I hope somebody
saw this and called the paramedics besides the news station. (I know
how people seem to think being on the news is more important than the
victim's being saved but really). I also have some lacerations and
now that I think of it my head hurts. I think I'll go to sleep
because all of the sudden I got unusually tired and maybe when I wake
up I'll be a celebrity and the paramedics will be here.
Carol's P.O.V
Ow my back is STILL hurting me but not that much. I don't see Elizabeth anywhere. I wonder what happened to her. It seems that I've had surgery so they took the skewer out of my back. I don't know if I have a spinal cord injury, but I can't feel my toes. They let my mom in earlier but since its 1 am visiting hours are long over although the night shift in the ER doesn't seem to care or notice. How am I supposed to rest peacefully if I can't get any PEACE and quiet? Note to self: Be more compassionate when waking someone up to do something to them if I ever get to be a nurse again!
