Disclaimer: Sorry it has been so long since I wrote a chapter, I haven't had any ideas and I have been working on another Neela story that should be up soon. I do not own ER, its content or Characters. I wish I did though.
Last time we left the ER:
"Well last night after you went home an ambulance came in. " She began. "There was a person from the army on it and he said that his buddy was in trouble, that he had been shot right below his heart. We thought it was an ordinary person, and then we looked down to find......Gallant." She said looking down.
"He is supposed to be in Iraq!"
"He was on his way home."
"Save Him"
Neela's Point of View
I look over at him now. It was never supposed to end up like this. He was supposed to be fine. Flashes of coffins and cemetaries flash through my mind. I'm alone by the OR, just outside his door. The surgeons are done. The doctors are done. All we can do is wait for what will be a desperate struggle. That is, if he ever wakes up. I pray everynight. I was waiting one day, the day where my family just had to make things worse.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
The phone was ringing. It finally rang so much that it fell off the wall of my apartment.
"Won't they just give up already?" I asked waking up. I finally answered it.
"Yes?" I said, not really polite. I wasn't a morning person.
"Is that the way you greet your own mother?"
"Mum?" I asked, awake now.
"Yes, when are you coming to visit?" She suddenly brought up.
"Oh I don't know Mum." I sighed. She had been wanting me to come home for a while now.
"Neela, honey, everyone misses you terribly here." She told me.
"I know Mum." I said closing my eyes.
"Your brother's wife just had a baby, little Melana." She said.
"That's cute." I said a little more ethustiastically.
"They really want you to see her." She said.
"I know Mum but I have work..." I trailed off wanting to tell her about Michael.
"Neela, when will you just give up on this doctor business and come home?" She never agreed with me being doctor. She almost stopped helping me with Medical School.
"Mum I'm sorry! I just don't know! I have to watch over a friend too who was just hurt." I yelled. I quickly covered my mouth, as if I had said an insult to her.
"I'm sure he has more then one friend." She argued. "Now Neela please...." She tried.
"No Mum I just can't!" I yelled and slammed the phone against the reciever.
"I just.......can't...." I said quietly to myself, I sat down and began to whimper. I knew she loved me and wanted me to come home so bad. Everyone wanted me to come home. I wanted to go home too but I knew I couldn't. I had my work, and I had to watch over Gallant also. He DID have other friends but he didn't have any other girlfriends. I hadn't told Mum I had a boyfriend because I knew that would just have made matters worse. All I could do now was wait.
~~~~End Of Flashback~~~~
I was sitting still by the OR. I finally got up and went down to the cafeteria. My shift was over now and I knew that, but I was here for Gallant now. I saw Abby at one of the tables and went to sit with her.
"Hey, how's he doing?" She asked when she saw me.
"A bit better I suppose." I said groggily. I was so tired.
"That's good." She said, "He'll be fine." She reasurred me.
"I know he will, he's strong. He's got too much in his life to leave." I smiled.
We chatted for a few more minutes when we saw Dr. Corday run in looking for us.
"He's waking up!" She replied in her accent, similar to mine.
Abby and I ran to the OR. Abby leaving her tray of half eaten food on the table.
Well here is Chapter 9 for everyone waiting for it. I don't know how long it will take me to write the other chapter but I am sure it will not take very long. Please review!
