"Babe what on earth are you doing?" Troy asked knocking on the bathroom door. He heard the faucet stop.
"You can come in if you need to use the bathroom." She said, giving it enough for him to get into the bathroom. He raised an eyebrow looking at her confused.
"Um...What is going on?" He asked sitting on the edge of the tub. She had the tub filled up to reach her ankles as she had a bag of peas on the back of her neck. She sighed.
"I have a migraine and I looked up what to do to get rid of it." She said rubbing her eyes. He ahhed, picking her up from the tub, and carrying her into the bedroom. As she giggled, he placed her down carefully on the bed, where he placed her head gently on his lap.
"I may know a thing or two to help you." He said rubbing her temples gently. He massaged her scalp, making her moan out in pleasure of the pressure being relieved.
"I woke up with it and now it feels like it's going away." She said dreamily, in a relaxed phase.
"I took a class on pressure points in college. I figured it would come in handy one day." He said smirking, leaning down to kiss her. "Are you sure you should go into work today like this?" He asked her caressing her cheek. She sighed snuggling into his palm, looking up into his eyes.
"I'm fine now." She said with a smile on her face.
"Let me know if you have any issues. Now get ready for work because we're going to be late." He said getting up as she lied there sighing.
Gabriella looked at her patient from across the nurses station with a strange look on her face. Her patient was experiencing discomfort in her knee, but after endless tests and MRIs she still had nothing come up on her results. She felt two rough hands cover her eyes making her sigh annoyed.
"My headache went away but if you don't leave I'll get another one." She said feeling him sigh and drop his hands.
"That was rude." He said pouting and walking next to her. "And to think I took time out of my morning to help you out." She laughed leaning over and kissing his cheek.
"Thank you baby." She said with a smile when their beepers went off.
"Montez you're coming with me." Doctor Johnson called out making her follow him as Troy stood behind. "There was a massive train accident and we need extra personnel to help out with the triage system." Oh boy she thought.
"There was a massive accident so make sure that you guys are always on your toes." Doctor Martin instructed the interns that were left behind. Troy wanted nothing more than to be on the front line of this accident, but he was proud that his girlfriend was going to make it. "Alright guys, here's the first set of people. Let's go!" Doctor Martin said with a smile on her face.
"Alright interns, start helping out at yellow and red triage." Doctor Johnson said as they dispersed. Gabriella looked around the massive wreck, afraid for what was going to happen. She was dressed in red scrubs now, and a kit of things in her backpack to help out more efficiently with the patients. She made her way to the red triage tent where she walked cautiously around the people. She was immediately overwhelmed when she saw everyone injured. She screamed when someone grabbed her leg, and old man getting her attention.
"Excuse me miss, but I need help finding my wife." She sucked her air in assessing over the man's injuries. She looked into his bright cobalt eyes that mimicked Troy's, looking down and seeing his leg awfully mangled and torn apart. He stared at her with a glimmer of hope.
"I think I should help take care of your leg injury sir." She reasoned bending down, putting her gloves on and looking over his leg. He lost a lot of blood making her question how he was still alive right now.
"I'll be fine, I just need to find my wife Eleanor." He said trying to sit up but she quickly stuck her hand out so he wouldn't move his body around too much.
"How about we make a trade off? I fix your leg and get you to the hospital and then together we can find Eleanor." She said with a smile as he sighed, lying down and looking at the brunette.
"Ellie...She responds to Ellie." He said situating himself comfortably even though he was in a lot of pain.
"Alright, we'll find Ellie." She confirmed. "How's your pain right now?" She wondered looking at his leg seeing if he ruptured an arterie to stop the bleeding.
"It's quite high, I'd say a seven." He admitted honestly.
"Alright, let me just try and bandage the area up a little and then see if we can get you a nice room in the hospital." She assured looking up at him with a wide smile.
"I thought we were getting Ellie?" He asked afraid. She bit her lip sighing, digging into her bag to get the bandages.
"We are! We just have to make sure you're good enough to walk because it looks like you're missing some parts of your leg and you could bleed out sir." She said still looking over the bag.
"William. My name is William." He said sighing.
"Gabriella." She said giving him a hand, then pulling it back. "Umm, I have blood on my hands." She giggled and he smiled at her.
"You remind me just like my Ellie." He said seeing her look up from his leg with a smile.
Troy was doing a couple of sutures when they were all interrupted by a screaming elderly lady who was crying. Doctor Martin looked up, then at Troy to go help. He finished up his patient, running over to her to calm her down.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" He asked her as she held onto him. He observed her head gash, walking her to a wheel chair.
"My head hurts and I don't know how I got here." She said looking around the emergency room.
"That's okay! We can help you." He said getting her to sit in the chair, as he wheeled her to a table to check her.
"I can't find my husband...I lost him back at the train." She said with a frown. "Can you please find my William?" She pleaded, her deep brown eyes searching his cobalt ones.
"Once I treat you I will look around the hospital for a William."
"Oh thank you! I would be so lost without him. He's my everything." She sighed as he checked her pupils for an abnormalities.
"You don't have to explain yourself, I know how true love is." He said wondering about his girlfriend at the wreck and how things were. He grabbed some cleaning cloths to clean her wound.
"He was my first love, my only love." She sighed dreamily.
"I hear a good story brewing." He said winking at her. She blushed, sighing.
"I was seeing a football player and William was wrestler. He couldn't stand it when I would go and hang out with him. So one day after a football game, I was cheering on the sidelines waiting for my boyfriend to be done when William punched him, said "I deserved better" and then swept me off my feet and drove me home."
"That sounds intense but lovely."
"William is an intense man...He reminds me so much of you when we were younger. He has the same bright blue eyes as you." She said smiling at him.
"Hey this guy is ready for transport let's go!" She screamed feeling his pulse weaken a little.
"You're a little fiesty one." He observed and she giggled.
"I'm 5'5 thank you very much." She said sticking her tounge out at him as he laughed with her.
"Can you please go and see if anyone found my Ellie?" He asked. "Please? It would mean a lot to me." She nodded standing up.
"You better not leave when I get back." She scolded hearing him laugh.
"As I recall my leg is completely torn up." He said smiling at her. She nodded walking away to the tent and grabbing charts of names that were already admitted to the hospital. She searched the list and searched until she smiled, seeing an Eleanor Johnson admitted to the hospital. She smiled running over to the red triage tent walking back to William when she saw a few people working on him. She ran over full speed seeing that they were performing CPR on him. Her eyes went wide and she dropped to her knees, pushing the doctors over and taking over the shift of CPR.
"William don't leave me." She shouted feeling a tear fall down her cheek. "Please William! Ellie's in the hospital!" She shouted stopping the thirty compressions, as another gave breaths.
"I don't feel a pulse still." He said as Gabriella went again but Doctor Johnson pulled her off him. Her small body feeling like a little teddy bear in an arcade crane.
"What are you doing!?" He shouted at her seeing tears fill her eyes. "If you have to resuscitate in red triage tents, there's no point of them coming back. That's why we have triage tents." He said as she looked down at him as doctors brought him to the black tent. She started breathing heavily. "We have plenty of patients here, we can't give them all special attention." He said patting her back when the tears furiously fell down her face. He sighed, giving her a hug. "It's okay, go back with the next ambulance and help out at the hospital."
Troy was finishing up with Eleanors admittance papers, looking up at the next set of ambulances coming in when he spotted Gabriella walking back in with them. She looked like she has been crying and it broke his heart to see that. He walked over with his charts, stopping her from walking.
"Hey what happened?" He asked soothingly placing a hand on her cheek. She let a few tears roll out, looking down at the floor.
"Nothing." She said softly. He sighed looking at her.
"Obviously something had to happen if you're crying like this." He said stroking her cheek when she opened her mouth to talk when her eye caught the name on the chart. 'Eleanor Johnson'. She quickly yanked the chart from his hand and read over it. She began to cry some more reading over it. "Gabriella what's wrong?"
"William died on the scene." She said looking up at him. "He was talking to me about her and I promised I would get him to her and he passed when I went to tell him that she was here. I broke my promise." She said softly shoving the chart against his chest, running off down the hallway. Troy embraced the shock immediately ready to run when Chad stopped him.
"Let her cry it out, get back to work before anyone sees." Chad said sighing as Troy wiped his brow nodding. They looked at the clock, seeing that it was time to get ready to leave. He sighed, hoping Gabriella would be ready to leave.
After finding her and walking to his car, he started at his sulking girlfriend, as he pulled out of the hospital. Gabriella snuggled into the side of the door, watching the rain fall on the windshield, the wipers moving rapidly. Troy looked over to her sighing, deciding to pull the car over.
"I love you.' He said after a few moments. She remained in her position, looking over to him. She smiled about to open her mouth. "I don't expect you to say it right now, but if you do that's amazing but…" He paused looking at his hands then at her. "But I can't help but look at you and just want to say it to you over and over again. I've never felt this way around anyone and I just...I love you." He said seeing her sit there. She leaned into him.
"I love you too." She said pressing a kiss to his lips. He kissed back with passion grabbing the back of her head and bringing her closer.
Hey everyone, I had midterms this week so I was completely wrecked with 4 tests, overtime at my job, AND extra events for my internship. Kisses to all you, I hope you enjoy this!
