Gabriella stared up at the ceiling. Something wasn't right. She could feel it. It swam in her veins. Something was different, something was wrong.
She sighed and shook it off. Glancing at the clock she decided it was probably time to get up and get ready for work. She heard a soft grumble coming from beside her, and she giggled quietly as she watched Troy sleep peacefully, a snore coming off his lips.
"Troy." Gabriella whispered. "Troy." She repeated a little louder while gently brushing the bangs out of his face. He groaned quietly and his eyes fluttered open to see Gabriella smiling at him. "We have to get up." He groaned again and brought her to his chest, making her laugh slightly.
"I don't wanna." He mumbled.
"Troy." She giggled. "We have to go to work."
"I don't wanna." He repeated.
"Too bad." She said placing a kiss on his cheek.
"Can't we just stay here all day? Lay in bed and watch movies? I doubt they need us."
"I'm pretty sure they do, hun." Gabriella giggled again. "Come on, get up."
"Wait." He said before Gabriella could get out of bed. He leaned down and kissed her gently. "Good morning." She smiled at him a slight blush tinting her cheeks.
"Good morning." She replied shyly before she placed another kiss on his lips and headed to the bathroom.
Troy pulled the keys out of the ignition as they pulled up in front of the hospital.
"So, I'm guessing the second we step in there, your not going to let me touch you?" He asked teasingly.
"That's right. But it's not like you'll listen anyway." She replied allowing him to kiss her. "Even though you know the rules."
"What happened to screw the rules?" He asked playfully
"That was yesterday." She grinned stepping out of the car.
"Oh I see." He shook his head and got out as well, pulling her hand, which made her stop walking. "Well since, I don't know the next time I'll be allowed to do this, I'll just have to do it now." She grinned as he leaned down and kissed her passionately. She giggled into the kiss before he pulled away reluctantly.
"Is it out of your system?" She asked.
"Not really."
"Hey Chief." Troy greeted as he and Gabriella walked by. Troy had his arm draped lazily over her shoulders. Chief Cohen just gave him a deadpanned expression before going back to his paper work. Troy pulled Gabriella to him and laughed into her hair.
"Your going to get yourself fired, and then what am I going to do without you here huh?" She asked
"Yeah, yeah. Now you get that sexy body of yours into a pair of scrubs and I'll see you in ten minutes." He muttered, while his hands her placed on her hips . She shook her head at him before walking into the girls lockerroom. Troy smiled at the door for a few seconds before turning to see the chief glaring at him. "Hello sir. How are you this morning?"
"Just follow me." He snarled. Most people would think the chief hated Troy. It was actually quite the opposite and Troy knew it. The chief thought he was stubborn and hard headed-which he was. But he also thought that, those were the types of qulaties you needed to be a great doctor-which Troy was. "I see you and Dr. Montez are still up to your charade." He spat.
"Charade, sir?"
"Yes, you must be quite familiar with it. It seems you can't stay away from my resident for more then two minutes."
"Are you in love with Gabriella? Is that what this is about?" Troy joked only to get a glare from the chief. " 'Cause if so, just setting it on the table now, she's taken."
"Don't be smart ass Bolton!" Troy just laughed. The chief opened his mouth to lecture him some more but Troy interrupted.
"Oh, would yeah look at that." He said looking at the imaginary watch on his wrist. "My shift is about to start soon. If you'll excuse me, I have a pretty little doctor waiting for me." He smiled brightly before walking off. The chief shook his head, he was certainly hard to handle, and he was probably his favourite resident.
"And you know what he did next? He sent me flowers! To the nursing station!" Taylor said appalled as she and Gabriella made there way to the nurses desk. Gabriella looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Isn't that a..good thing?"
"A good thing! No, Gabriella, its not. It's embarrassing! And all the nurses just had to ask me about it like all day! It was humiliating."
"I think its sweet." Gabriella said as they approached the desk where they saw Troy leaning on the counter filling out some paper work. "No one's ever done that for me." She said hinting to Troy. Troy hearing the tone in her voice looked up.
"Uh oh, what have I done now?" He asked and Gabriella giggled.
"Nothing, baby."
"Sweet? How's it sweet?" She rambled ignoring the couple.
"Tay, come on. If Chad likes you enough to send you flowers, why not give him a shot?"
"Chad sent you flowers?" Troy asked and Taylor nodded with a roll of her eyes. "Awe, that is sweet." Gabriella gave him a look before adding;
" See even Troy agrees..even if he had to lose his manly essence to do it." She teased.
"I had a manly essence?" Gabriella laughed at his reply.
"I have to check on Mrs Webber." Gabriella said before turning to Taylor. "You, just try to think about giving Chad a chance, and you," She continued turning to Troy. "try not to make the chief go crazy."
"I'm not promising anything." He replied leaning down to kiss her but she dodged it.
"One is enough." She said and he groaned playfully watching her walk away.
"Way to keep your pride." Taylor teased sarcastically, walking behind the desk.
"Alright Mrs Webber, I'm just going to check your stitches really quickly." Gabriella said coming into the room. She moved her gown down slightly checking the stitches. She had a heart transplant a couple weeks ago, once her original one failed. After being on the waiting list for over a year, Gabriella was extremely happy when she got to make the call herself, telling her that she had a heart waiting for her. "How are you feeling? Any chest pains, trouble breathing?"
"No, not really. Just a little nauseous." She admitted and Gabriella nodded.
"Okay, there's nothing to worry about really. It's not uncommon to feel that way. Well I think it's safe to say that you can go home tomorrow." Gabriella said looking at the grey metal clip board.
"Really?" Mrs Webber asked with slight dissapointment in her voice.
"I thought you'd be happy." She replied hanging the clip board at the end of the bed.
"Oh I am. I'm very happy." She said and Gabriella giggled.
"No offence Mrs Webber, but that didn't sound very happy to me." Mrs Webber laughed at her.
"Oh well, it's just theres such strapping young men here." The fifty-six year old women replied and Gabriella resisted the urge to widen her eyes. "Like that Dr Bolton, we don't have many of those at the senior home." Gabriellas jaw dropped but she quickly recovered. "You know, I'm considered pretty young at the home."
"Oh I'm not surprised. You don't look a day over forty."
"Oh your too sweet."
"You know, something tells me that Dr. Bolton would be very interested in someone as beautiful as yourself."
"Really!?"
"Mhm." Was her reply as a mischievous grin made her way on to her lips.
"What the hell did you do?" Troy asked coming up to her as she stood in line in the cafeteria.
"Well hello to you too." She replied trying not to laugh.
"I just got my ass pinched by a sixty year old woman, and guess whose fault it was?"
"First, she's fifty-six, and second, I have no idea what your talking about." Gabriella smiled innocently at him, turning back to the buffet-if you could even call it that-and placing a plate of fruit on her tray. Troy laughed before shaking his head.
"Why must you torture me?"
"I get bored." She said with a shrug. She smiled at the woman at the cash register giving her, her money. "Hey Troy?" She asked timidly.
"Yeah?" He answered carefully hearing the change of tone in her voice.
"I have.. this feeling."
"A feeling?"
"Yeah, like something's...wrong." She muttered and Troy couldn't help but look at her somewhat worriedly.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. I just have this feeling like something bads going to happen." She said shrugging once again while sitting at the table.
"A feeling? Oh no! All hell is about to break loose." He teased and Gabriella glared at him playfully.
"Hey! Don't make fun of my feeling."
"Your right sweetie. I'm terribly sorry." Gabriella smiled at his oover exaggerated apology and put her fingers to his lips as he tried to lean in.
"Hey now, your with Mrs Webber remember?"
"Ha-ha." Was his sarcastic reply.
After rounds, Troy and Gabriella met up at the nurses station again talking with Taylor and some of the other nurses and doctors.
"Are you guys going to donate?" Taylor asked. Today they were holding a blood drive. They would do it every few months. A couple people coming in to donate their blood, even some of the doctors and nurses were doing it. Troy was sitting on the counter holding the white gauze to his arm where he had just had a needle, he was able to do it right after rounds, before he met with his friends.
"I already did. See that Ella, I had to face a huge needle for the good of the hospital." He joked pushing his arm in her face.
"You were always a brave one Troy." She giggled
"I like to think I'm your superman." He said in his fake cocky voice, shrugging like him being superman was the most obvious thing in the world.
"That and more." She said and Troy smiled as she stood on her tippy toes giving him a kiss. She was getting better at the whole sticking it to the chief thing. Troy was so proud.
"Alright, team Bolton! Huddle!." Troy said and his interns gathered around him. "Barber, Jennkins, I want you down in the free clinic. Stevens I want you to go check on Mr Carter, and Matthews, you get the privledge to follow me around while I complain about the giant needle I just got stuck in my arm." The interns laughed. "Okay, break!" Troy cheered and they all split.
"Okay, so do you know how to place a catheter?"
"Uh, no sir-"
"Well it's you lucky day. You get to learn how to stick a tube up a mans penis."
"So I heard Matthews got the pleasure to place a catheter." Gabriella said as she looked at an x-ray while walking through the hospital with Troy.
"Oh yeah, it's truly a life altering experience." He said sarcastically and Gabriella laughed while putting the x-rays back in a brown folder. Their attention suddenly turned to the small television that was placed in the corner of the room, hanging from the ceiling.
"Another accident on 184th street. A man was driving under the influence when he crashed into two other cars, causing a seven car pile up. Police officers believe the man who caused the accident is on drugs."
The camera went to the scene and Gabriella gasped at the sight. It was a total wreck. People were trapped in there cars, some looked already dead. The man who she guessed was the man who caused the accident ,was screaming and refusing to leave his car, he looked crazy and Gabriella was slightly scared of him. Troy put his arm around her seeing the look on her face.
"Moments after the police arrived the thirty-seven year old male started screaming, ordering them to stay away, and he's refusing to exit his vehicle. We've been informed that paramedics are on their way."
The news caster looked down at the desk sadly before looking back into the camera
"Four people have died in the incident, others have severe injuries. We can only pray that the remainder will survive."
Everyone stared at the TV in shock. She knew it. She knew something bad was going to happen.
