Chapter 1
Day one as a first-year surgical intern: It was not what Samantha's expected. When she walked through those doors of Griffith Park Memorial Hospital, she was ecstatic. Eager to learn and ready to dive into it all. Samantha's first day ended with an 8-year-old boy dying in her arms. It was the worst feeling not being able to save him. There was a drive by at a local grocery store and the little boy was there at the wrong time as the place was shot up. I had to lock myself in the bathroom as she cried on the floor for him. This wasn't what Samantha signed up for. Samantha questioned if she made the right choice in career.
Day five: Everything Sam knew about medicine was being questioned. Her attending tested. She felt confused and angry. It was hell. She honestly doesn't know what his problem is, always yelling at them like they're idiots. Maybe he should teach his interns instead of getting angry at them.
Day Thirty: Sam have been pushed to her limits. There's been talk around the hospital that she's seen as the star out of all the other interns and it's not sitting well with them. Sam attending has been picking her to watch his surgeries. She can sense the jealousy but this is what Sam's worked for. She didn't spend countless nights studying and putting her all through medical school to be average.
(Current day) Day sixty-two: Sam's working a 36-hour shift. It is hour 15. She has been assigned to assist in the E.R. This place is hectic tonight. Patients continue rushing in through those doors and Sam's have lost count of how many. It was at 20:47p.m. when the burn patient was brought in.
"Coming through! Young female in her early forties. Her body is covered in third degree burns!"
She isn't breathing. I'm starting compressions! Mary stays with me, okay? Stay with me!" A firefighter Shouts. And Sam saw a firefighter is on top of the patient, his back facing her so she can't see his face. Sam watch with wide eyes as they rush through those doors, firefighter on top of the patient starting compressions as they work their way through the crowded room. Sam's supposed to be checking on Mr. Harrison, an 80-year-old man who was admitted for respiratory problems but she can't tear her eyes away from the patient named Mary. She needs to get on the case. Gigi, who became Sam best friend during her first week here at the hospital, is trying to grab her attention.
"Sam! Mr. Harrison is complaining that his chest-" Gigi said
"Here" She hand Mr. Harrison's chart before walking away.
There's so much commotion. Sam weave through all the nurses and patients. receive death glares from some of the nurses. Sam's ignore them. All her focused on is making it to Mary. She wants in on the case. She attending, Dr. Russell, is one of the surgeons assisting Mary, his trying to calm down the firefighter who is refusing to stop compressions. Dr. Russell's sharp jaw clenches and his lips pull into a tight line. He's angry but his trying to contain himself though it's obvious he's ready to slam this guy into a wall.
How can I help?" Sam calls out to her attending.
"You can help by first getting this stubborn firefighter off my patient!" Russell's deep husky voice booms through the E.R causing some of the nurses to turn their heads.
That's not what she wanted to hear. Sam wanted him to tell her how he needs me to scrub in immediately or something that'll get her pumped because today has not been the greatest day. Not for her to babysit a firefighter.
"Dr. Forbes, Dr. Diaz and I will continue to help Mary. We need to get her into the O.R now! MOVE!" Russell screams to all the people blocking their way to the elevator. Russell shoots Sam a cold glare as she stands there wondering how the hell, she's going get this huge man off his patient.
Don't just stand there Ms. Rodriguez , GET THIS MAN OFF MY PATIENT BEFORE I DO!" Russell's Shouts at Samantha
"Fuck." Sam's swear she can't stand when Russell gets loud. There is a patient who needs immediate surgery and She is standing there like an idiot so she can understand why he's mad but it isn't pleasant when her attending starts screaming at her.
"Umm sir I need you to come with me. Please" Sam's try reaching for the firefighters shoulder but he shoves her away, he doesn't even bother looking at her . Today has been a long day and it's nowhere close to being over, Sam is not in the mood for a stubborn firefighter refusing to listen to her. She attempt again. He's preventing them from doing their job but he doesn't seem to see it that way. His job ends at the door. They have plenty of paramedics, EMTs, firefighters who don't understand when their job here is done.
" Excuse me! I need you to get off the patient NOW and let us do our job!" Sam's shouts at the Firefighter.
" I'm not leaving her" he says in almost a whisper, his arms continuing to work not once stopping compressions.
" But you need to or she will die." Sam's exclaimed.
His motions stop. Sam hear him sigh before he finally agrees to let the doctors to take over. Sam's breathe stops as he turns to face her. Everything else around them becomes a blur and she forget about Mary as Russell rushes her down the hall and disappears around the corner. " Shit , This can't be happening , I know exactly who this firefighter is , his face was too pretty to forget" Sam thought.
Before Sam left Florida to begin a new life in Los Angeles. She went to one last huge party. Sam figured what better way out than going to a part hosted by only one of the most known play boys of Florida, Thomas Sommers. He was loaded and had a huge mansion right on Siesta Key beach Sam's pretty sure most of Siesta Key was there
And even outsiders. Sam ended up hooking up with a guy she had met there and he's standing right in front of her. The Images take over her brain as she stand in the middle of the E.R. processing this moment. Sam start to relive that night, remembering every little detail. Sam's sees small flashes from their hook up. His naked body over her. That small chain , the sweat, the heat, those lips making their way down her stomach causing her stomach to flutter as he got closer to the foreign land between her legs.
' Bad time to be doing this' she thought.
'Why is he here? I wasn't expecting to see him again after that night. A fun night it was but it should've ended there. I never caught his name and I don't give one night stands the pleasure of knowing mine. Names weren't important at that time in my opinion' Sam said to herself
" Siesta Key?" He finally comes to realization of where he has seen Samantha from.
Sam's sure he goes through a different girl every week and he forgot about her the second she left that mansion. He has the face of a player but Sam didn't care that night. She was drunk and he was hot. Sam can't imagine what her face looks like right now. Her cheeks are probably a light shade of pink right now. Without saying a word Sam rush past her one night stand.
