So this is Chapter 3, as you can probably figure out. I wasn't going to update for a while since I have been crazy busy. But SouthrnBelle convinced me to type up what I had wrote out and put it up for you guys! ENJOY!!
Chapter 3: That Guy
Edward POV
I walked along side Bella through the hospital. I am happy we both are surgical interns. I know she didn't want to major in surgery, but I wanted her to be with me. It was selfish of me. But I can't help it if I love her so much I don't ever want to be away from her.
By now we were standing around listening to the chief talk about how important this internship is. I didn't really listen, I just played Bella's lullaby in my head. I have heard it all before any ways. The familiar melody was interrupted. Be attentive, most interns look extremely nervous, not bored. I rolled my eyes at Carlisle. The chief introduced Carlisle to all of the interns.
After Carlisle left, the chief continued. As we were in an OR a girl walked in late.
I can't believe I slept with a guy I met in a bar. Damn tequila! At least I will never have to see him again. I ignored the rest of her thoughts, they were useless.
I have got to get the best surgery today. I am the best. I saw a Chinese, no Korean girl thinking this and reviewing everything. Everything in her mind that she was reviewing I already knew. I tuned everyone out and followed the rest of the interns into the locker room.
Apparently I was assigned to Dr. Bailey, someone who they call the 'Nazi'. I wasn't nervous; he couldn't throw any thing at me I couldn't handle.
From their mind I saw that a guy named George was on my team, along with the girl that walked in late, and the Korean girl.
I looked over and saw Bella with a tall blonde and a guy. I knew she would be fine since she was assigned to Carlisle.
"Does anyone else have the Nazi?" I saw the other guy on my team ask.
"Yeah, I have the Nazi." I told him.
"Oh good, I am George, George O'Mally. I guess we will be a team during this internship."
The two girls joined us, "We have the Nazi too. I am Meredith." I looked at her. She reminded me of someone. I just couldn't place who it was she reminded me of.
I thought I would chime into the big introduction, "I am Edward."
We all turned toward the dark haired last member of our team. "Yeah, I'm Christina."
We left the locker room to go find the supposed Nazi. I saw a male nurse leaning against the counter. I thought I would give it a try and ask him. "Can you tell me where Dr. Bailey is?"
He looked up, "Sure, the Nazi is right down that hall."
I turned in the direction he pointed. I saw a small black woman reading a chart. Then I heard her mind. Yep, she was the Nazi alright. I started towards her when George stopped me.
"You don't think she is the Nazi, do you?"
I nodded, "It sure is."
We all walked down the hall.
"You're late! I have five rules, memorize them. Rule number one, don't bother sucking up. I already hate you, that's not gonna to change. Trauma protocol, phone list, pagers, nurses will page you. You will answer every page at a run. A run! That's rule number two. Your first shift starts now and lasts 48 hours. You're interns, grunts, nobodies, bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, right orders, work every second night until you drop, and don't complain. On-call rooms. Attendings hog them. Sleep when you can, where you can, which brings me to rule number three. If I'm sleeping, don't wake me unless your patient is actually dying. Rule number four: the dying patient better not be dead when I get there. Not only will you have killed someone, you would have woke me for no good reason. We clear?"
Meredith looked at her, "That was four rules, you said five."
I saw Dr. Bailey glare at Meredith, "Rule five, when I move you move." Her glare then turned on me. To any normal human the glare would have freaked them out. I just stood there, "And you, don't expect special treatment because your daddy is here. You got that?"
I nodded, "Yes ma'am. I am ready to work for this."
Damn kid was trying to pull one over one me. I am going to keep my eye on him.
I smirked. She thought she had seniority over me. I hope she isn't over a century old.
I better wipe that ridiculous uneven smile from his face soon.
That thought made me grin even more.
Bailey looked at us, "Grey and Cullen you are with me. Yang and O'Mally you will be in the pit, I believe Dr. Cullen will be in the pit as well. Now MOVE!"
I now remember who Meredith reminds me of, her mother. I met Ellis one time. She was a great surgeon. Carlisle talked highly of Ellis. I hope Meredith is as good as her.
"What are we going to do today Dr. Bailey?" I asked with my words coated in sugar and sweetness. She still glared at me. That's not a reaction I am used to.
"We are going to do rounds, Dr. Cullen."
I nodded as we walked into out first patient's room. "Grey, present." Bailey demanded.
"Lucie Darnay, 22, came in with multiple seizures. She was found to have a brain aneurysm."
"Thank you Dr. Grey. Lucy, how are you feeling today?"
"Okay, I could be better, I guess."
Bailey turned to Meredith and I. "Nuero will be coming in for a consult. He should have been here by now. He will look at the CT and MRI scans and will figure out how he wants to proceed with the surgery. Now where is Dr. Shepard, his first day on the job and already he is late."
Then I heard a new voice, "I am sorry Dr. Bailey, to keep you waiting. I am Dr. Shepard."
Then I heard a gasp escape from Meredith's lips. I saw in her thoughts that the guy from the bar last night was the same guy standing here in this room. I had to do the best I could to stop myself from laughing. It was turning into a hospital soap opera.
Dr. Shepard had the surgery set for in a few hours. As soon as he was done Meredith ran from the room.
Bailey noticed, "Grey! Get back here. Cullen go fetch Grey. This is ridiculous." Damn interns, she added in her head. That time a giggle escaped from my lips, I couldn't help it. I didn't even wait for Bailey's reaction, I just left.
I went after Meredith as Dr. Bailey said. I heard voices from the stairway. It was her voice and Dr. Shepard's. She kept telling him this couldn't happen again. She said they had to end it. But her mind was contradicting her words. In her mind she wanted him again. She wanted to have a relationship with him. Over the years I have come to trust people's minds, rather than their words. I heard her start to walk away. I made it look like I was looking for her when she came through the door. She looked surprised to see me there.
"Dr. Bailey wanted me to come find you. She says rounds are not over yet."
Meredith nodded, and we continued to walk in silence.
