Mushi Mushi guys! AUTHOR NOTE CONCERNING A BUISNESSLIKE FALL! MUST READ!
For those of you who are wondering why I haven't updated A Buisnesslike Fall there are three major reasons for the delay. 1. Is that my computer is fired and can not be fixed. We're talking no physical memory or mass drivers! That means i lost my chapter, my work, my story ideas, pictures, projects etc. And until i can get a new computer it's going to be hard for me to update. 2. I'm on vacation in New Brunswick and i only get a limited time on the computer. So it's extremely hard for me to update and write chapters. 3. You know when you write something down and you lose and the next time you try to write it agian it just sucks. Well that's my promblem before i could post the completed chapter for BF (A Buisnesslike Fall) my computer died (as stated in one my computer is now a doorstop). I know what i want to say as i try to rewrite the chapter it's just so hard for me to rewrite but I'm trying my best. GOD IT SUCKS! This is why I've posted this story so that you know I'm alive and trying to update no matter how pissed I am at technology. I hope this story is as good as my others and you enjoy. I'll send the messages when i post my enw chap to BF. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE I LOVE YOU ALL!
Now for the cursed irony of Place a Cast on my Broken Heart...
Chapter 1: Ironic Emergency
Athrun glared angrily at the attendants as they loaded him into the ambulance how ironic was it that he had been hit by an ambulance while he was trying to j-walk at a busy intersection, almost as ironic as the girl who had been in love with him since they were kids and he hated with every fiber of his body dumping him. As the attendants hauled him into the already delayed ambulance he noted that the man beside him looked to be in a really bad state. "Great," he thought, "Just great! Now they can sue me if this man dies because of a delay to the hospital." He noted with amusement that the people in the ambulance were paying more attention to the other man then to him. "I suppose of they knew who I was that man wouldn't be getting all the attention." Looking down at his leg he shuddered, "Then again a bone sticking out of your leg really ought to be getting some treatment."
Athrun angrily recalled what had got him here in the first place as the pain finally sunk into his dull senses. "STUPID FATHER!" he shouted in his head, "THE STUPID MAN!" His father the late Mr. Zala had caused this whole thing! If it wasn't for him right now Athurn could be celebrating his freedom from the witch! He could be at home having a nice glass of wine without a care in the world, but no. His amazing father had to have his dying wish fulfilled. He could see his father on his deathbed looking at Athrun with those hollow eyes and asking him the one thing he had prayed his father would never let cross his lips,
"Please she's a good girl and she treats you so well. Please for me so my soul can rest at ease, will you at least take her out for a drink just once." He smiled sourly at the memory and how as the perfect son he had nodded and said he would. God! He had been loathing this day for months, the day he had to take her on a date. But then to his absolute joy she had dumped right inside the restaurant. He had been so happy that in his infinite wisdom he decided to j-walk a six-lane intersection and get hit by an ambulance.
As he was unloaded from the ambulance and pushed into emergency in a wheelchair, he watched the man who looked more dead then alive be quickly surrounded by muttering doctors. Angry that they were ignoring him he was about to call their attention when,
"Sir, all our attention at the moment is focused on another patient. So until an operating room is free to stick that bo…well you know what back in your leg. I'll be your nurse for this evening." Athurn stared at a hand as it was thrust under his nose. Pushing it away Athrun attempted to wheel himself away from this lady and demand he get his bone back in his leg now. The lady however seems to have other plans grabbing onto the back of his wheelchair she pushed him into a room.
"I said the doctors are busy at the moment and can not attend to your needs. If you will just wait patiently I'm sure they'll be able to help you soon." She whispered angrily in his ear. If Athrun's rational mind wasn't in overload from pain it probably would have been screaming at him "Listen to the nice lady she knows best." But his mind obviously wasn't working at the moment so he angrily responded,
"And who are you to dictate whether I am treated or not." Dropping herself into the chair beside him she pulled out a book and began reading.
"I never said you weren't being treated I said you had a delayed wait for treatment." She responded not looking up
"And why," said Athurn wheeling closer to her, "Do I have to wait?" He stared intently at the nurse expecting her to be intimated.
"If your trying to intimidate me it won't work," she stated casually flipping a page, "I've seen scary then you sissy boy."
"SISSY BOY!" Athrun wheeled angrily toward her and stuck his protruding bone under her nose, "HOW CAN I FUCKING BE A SISSY BOY WHEN I'VE GOT A DAMN BONE STICKING OUT OF MY LEG!" She lifted her eyes out from over her book.
"Try three cracked vertebra, a broken rib, and a punctured lung plus a concussion then I'll believe you." She then returned to her book.
"And may I ask ever so politely where you get these examples?" Athrun thought he had caught there. Surely no one in the hospital had all those symptoms at the present time.
"Sure I can," she replied casually, "For starters the man in the ambulance that hit you." Athrun glared, "And the fact that he was delayed didn't help his condition."
In full fury Athrun spun the wheelchair around and wheeled to the far side corner of the room. Unfortunately for him there was mirror there and he decided to look in it. He hadn't really been paying attention to what the nurse had been wearing and was in shock when he realized she was wearing all black. Her pants were black, her shirt was black and even her blonde hair was held up by a black clip. He had never pictured a nurse in black and it kind of surprised him to find one here at Orb hospital. Also strange was the book she was reading for someone who acted so tough she was actually reading a really sappy romance novel. And yes he had read it too, but you didn't see him making fun of injured people. As he glanced at the nurse she began to be aware of to emerald eyes glaring into the front of her head. Looking up she watched him quickly duck his head away, a sure sign of a peeper caught in the act.
"Look buddy," sighed nurse standing up and walking toward the man, "I can accept you being mad you have a bone sticking out your leg but by bugging the doctors you're making it really hard for people with serious problems to get treatment." She now knelled beside him and got out some bandages to bandage his leg the best should could, however still leaving the bone untouched, "You just need to realize that your prissy and stuck up way of living is wrong and you need to get a number and wait in line just like everybody else!" Athrun glared at her as she brushed herself off and returned to her book. "The nerve of her!" he thought angrily, "Saying I'm prissy and stuck up! I should tell her to her face that I think she is the rudest, most weirdly dressed nurse I have ever seen and to keep reading her books because she'll never get a real romance." Just then the door opened and in walked a doctor, he seemed a bit taken a back by the nurse's way of dressing but never the less spoke to her,
"Miss, I'll be taking him now."
"Fine by me." She didn't look up as he was wheeled out of the room and down the hall.
"Sir," said the doctor addressing Athrun, "We are sorry for the wait, we just had a patient of higher risk."
"Whatever." Muttered Athrun as he was pushed into an operating room, "Could you please just get my bone back in my leg."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Cagalli!" shouted Lacus sticking her head into the room Athurn had just left, "What are you doing out of your uniform! How is anyone suppose to know you're a nurse if you don't wear it!" Cagalli sighed the book had just been getting good,
"Lacus first of all the uniform is pink. I don't do pink. Second, it's a dress with a little hat, if you knew how gay it was you'd puke, and third, I LIKE BLACK! Why is that so hard for you to understand!" Since she had become a nurse here her only friend, Lacus Clyne had been bugging her about her clothes, saying she looked more like she was going to a funeral then helping patients recover.
"That may be so, but you have to wear it or else you'll get fired." Lacus held out the uniform toward her.
"Grrrrr, someday! I'll pay you back for all the times you've done this." She stated as she pulled the dress over her head.
"Oh, come on Cagalli," laughed Lacus as she placed the frilly nurse's hat on her head, "We have the night shift nothing ever happens worth worrying about."
"Says you."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Athrun groggily opened his eyes to the face of his doctor, Mwu La Flaga.
"Well, Athrun seems you've got your self into a bit of a mess with this leg of yours."
"Just get the point I really don't want to have to listen to you all night." Muttered Athrun
"I'm starting to wish you were still under," sighed the doctor placing an x-ray up on a board he began pointing and explaining, "You appear to have broken your bone in several places and this pushed on your tibia which caused it to snap and come out of your skin. To put it together they had to pretty much open up you leg and use a metal rod to attach the bones together."
"Could you please get to the point!" shouted an exasperated Athrun
"Well first off you're going to be walking with a cane for a while…"
"Great! A reason for someone to call me an old man."
"You are going to need a nurse to look after you."
"An excuse for someone to say I'm lazy and useless."
"And you're staying overnight at the hospital for the next three days while we find a nurse to meet the criteria."
"Oh joy, a hyperactive witch bugging me in my own home and no decent sleep for the next 72 hours." Sighed Athrun, this day was going from bad to worse.
"Well that's all I've got to say," said Mwu putting everything away, "now you can complain to yourself in peace as I go home to bed."
"Grrr, when I leave this hospital you are so dead."
"That is if you can catch me, cane boy!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking down at her list she sighed, she had been assigned to watch a new arrival patient all night because as they had put it on the sheet, "He is a feisty rich boy who would rather hang himself then be here, he needs a slave." Cagalli grimaced at Lacus's curvy writing she always had a way of describing someone in one sentence and she always had a way on making Cagalli be stuck watching over that one person.
Sighing she looked down the hall and headed for room 191, "Life sucks."
