Dislaimer: This story was written by NeelaRasgotra88 and Platinum Jo with
an idea that we had. This story was written in a series of e-mails to one
another. I wrote the Neela POV and she wrote Abby's. Enjoy! And we do not
own ER or it's content!
Abby's Point of View
It's been a long day in the ER, I'm feeling quite tired after just pulling a double as a med
student/nurse. One would think that just because it was the summer, maybe, just maybe, people would enjoy the warmth and stay out of harm's way. But it never works that way. Roofers falling and breaking their legs, older people dying from the heat, and overstressed parents bringing in their children who have fallen off their bikes and skateboards, not injured one bit. The clock seems to be staying at 8:55...God, I need a cigarrette. And I have to wait until 9.
I turned my head and see the ER's brightest and best med student I've ever met. Neela. She's brought me through a few rough periods, especially with school. She might not know it, but she has been my inspiration. Her hard work and dedication has rubbed off on me, and I no longer feel the need to give up. I can't help but smile at the girl.
"Hey Neela. Did you just get on, or are you off rotation?"
Neela's Point of View
I turn around quickly at the sound of my name.
"Well I did just get on..." I said, "but if you would like to do something later I'm free." I said quickly at the sight of her saddened face.
"Alright I'll meet you later.....how about 10? I know its late but...." She trailed off, thinking of an explanation.
"Oh don't worry about it!" I started, "My shift doesn't start until 2 tomorrow." I smiled. She smiled back, we exchanged goodbyes, and I walked towards trauma 2. Abby watched me for a few minutes and finally grabbed her stuff and left.
