"Neela come play with me." The little boy leaned through the open window waiting anxiously.

"I'm busy right now Nathan I will later." The teenage girl replied. Neela was 15, the boy was 5.

"Neela please." He then began to beg in Indian.

This time the girl ignored him and returned to her studies. She felt bad but knew she was busy. She saw the boy walk away, his eyes watching the ground. When he didn't return home, the girl went looking for him.

"What are you doing in here?" She asked when she found him. He was crouching in a tree trunk.

"Listening." He replied.

"Listening to what?" The girl asked.

"The birds. They're really pretty." The boy then closed his eyes. When he opened them the girl was in the trunk with him.

"They are pretty aren't they." She replied in a daze.

She waiting for a reply back but saw that Nathan was asleep. She picked him up and took him home.

~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~

"Nathan!" Neela yelled. The boy was stuck tight.

She ran over to the boy, Abby and Susan followed.

"Susan, Abby! Can you move the rock?" Neela asked.

"It won't budge!" Abby yelled.

The rock was stuck tight. Neela ran over and in the spite of saving her brother pushed very hard. Abby and Susan then joined in. Finally, within 10 minutes of hard work the rock began to move. They kept pushing it until the only thing left holding his foot was the mud.

"Neela my foot is still in the mud!" Nathan yelled.

Neela ran over and pulled it out of the mud. When she did this his shoe came off. She began to head towards home when suddenly the boy yelled.

"Neela my shoe." He said.

"Hold on we'll get it. Abby?" She asked.

"Sure." She said. She reached down and pulled it out.

~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

At the same age Neela and Nathan were walking in the forest by the stream, when suddenly Nathan fell over a rock and landed on his wrist.

"Ow!" He screamed in pain.

Neela rushed to his side. By then he was holding his wrist.

"Tell me where it hurts." She said.

"Right here!" He cried as he pointed to his wrist.

"Come on." She said. She picked him up and carried him home. When she got there she called for her mom.

"Put him on the couch." She said. She hurried into the kitchen. When she came back, she handed Nathan 2 pills.

"Take these for pain." She said. Then she ran into her room to look for some kind of support. When she couldn't find anything she grabbed a towel and some tape.

"Here give me your wrist." She told him. He held his wrist up for him. She began to wrap it with the towel. When it was wrapped she put the tape around it.

"There." She signed.

She felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You will be a great doctor someday." Her mother said.

~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~

Neela was running home with Nathan in her arms. He was badly dehydrated and needed some warmth.

"What were you doing out there?" Neela said when they finally reached their house. She laid him on the couch.

"I was playing and I got lost. When I saw the stream I knew where I was. I was walking home when my foot slipped on a wet rock and landed in the water. I couldn't get my shoe off and I panicked." He continued.

"Here." She said as she handed him blankets.

"Drink this." Susan said as she handed him some water.

"Give him these pills." Abby said. "You need to help him because his throat is dry. Touch your hand...."

"Shouldn't Susan do this?" Neela asked, interrupting. "She's the doctor." She continued.

"Yes but you are a great medical student." Susan said.

Neela did as she was told. Susan and Abby stayed another night with Neela. The next morning they got up and went to the airport.

"Bye Neela!" Nathan called. "Thanks!"

"Bye Nathan!" Neela yelled as she walked away.

"Oh Neela!" Nathan called.

Neela turned and waited for Nathan.

"I made this for you." Nathan said.

It was a drawn picture of Neela and Nathan at the stream. Neela could feel the tears running down her face.

"Thanks." She said.

Nathan gave her a hug. They seemed to hug forever before Susan said they should probably go board the plane.

"I love you Neela." Nathan said. Neela turned.

"I love you too Nathan." She replied. They looked at eachother one last time before Neela turned.

~~~~~~~Back at County~~~~~~~

Neela walked through the doors of the lobby.

"Oh look, the Indian's back." Frank said. Frank seemed to despise everyone who wasn't American. Neela ignored him and walked into the lounge. When she reached her locker she opened it and hung the picture from Nathan up. She walked over to the mirror and began to fix her hair. She looked up and saw Weaver standing behind her.

"Oh Dr. Weaver...I'm sorry." She looked down.

"Neela, no need to explain. Your brother is very important to you." She said.

"Oh." Was all Neela could say.

"And because you showed true heroism, you will remain a student at County Hospital." She continued.

"Oh THANK YOU Dr. Weaver!" Neela exclaimed.

Neela ran out of the lounge and into the lobby. She looked at the board this time ignoring Frank's comments. She then saw Susan and Abby walk in.

"Thanks so much for coming guys." She told them.

They both replied that it was no problem. Susan took her on a rotation and the rest of the day was simple.
