Flashback in the OR
It's not like I didn't see it coming. I was walking on the street on my way to the hospital. I wanted to see Neela so badly it hurt deep down in my heart. Things were getting tougher between our relationship. I left for Iraq. She stayed in Chicago. Something needed to be done. Anyway, all I saw was a man, a gun, and a bullet. My friend from Iraq, Jake, was with me. The other day he had asked me if I would take a bullet for Neela. I had replied with a yes right away. Then he asked me if I would take a bullet for him. I didn't answer. But now as I look up at the ceiling of the OR wondering where every one of my friends are, I think hard about that question. I would, wouldn't I? What if HE had been the one shot? Was he alright? And if so, what was he thinking? There are doctors running around in every direction. I can remember and name them all. I don't see Neela. The one student I want to see, and she's not even here. The one I was coming home too. And she's not even here. The one I fell madly in love with.....and she's not even here.
Neela's Point of View
I fell backwards when I walked into the room. He was awake, but barely. I was caught by Abby who urged me to go on. I walked up to the bed.
"Gallant?" I said. "Gallant speak to me...."I whispered.
"He's not very alert ma'am." A surgeon told me. She must have overheard. Abby walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder as the tears came down my face. I got up and walked out of the room.
"He'll be more alert later." Dr. Corday assured me. I nodded. When I had made it into the hallway I walked with Abby to the lunchroom where she proceeded to pick up her tray and dump it. I was horrible the rest of the day. I was completley out of it. I was so out of it that Kerry gave me the rest of the day off. I tried to tell her that I would be fine but she told me to go home. I finally gave up, grabbed my stuff, and caught a cab.
Gallant's Point of View
It's a horrible feeling knowing who you love isn't there for you. I begged the doctors to find her for me. Most were surgeons but one things for sure, they had no idea who Neela was. I tried to descibe her but the anethesia effects made my mouth slur my words. Black hair to them sounded like "Water." Nothing was going to keep me away from Neela though. I looked for a doctor I knew. I finally gave up when I realized no one was there. I was hoping Dr. Corday would come back. She at least knew who Neela was. For now all I could do was wait, and hope the person that I loved so dearly would visit.
