Elizabeth scoffed: "Carter, you can't be serious." She stopped examining the patient. "That is absolutely ridiculous."
Carter and Lewis looked at one another: "Whatever you say Dr. Corday." Lewis chimed as they both exited the room.
She followed them "Your patient is in need of surgery, I'll take him up to the OR in a few minutes." She turned to go, but then changed her mind "Dr. Lewis?"
She turned around, "Yeah?"
"What makes you think that Robert is...?"
She rolled her eyes "Come on Elizabeth, it's written all over his face every single time he looks at you. He's head over heels."
Elizabeth still could not believe it, she turned to Carter "And, you agree?"
He nodded.
"Dr. Carter, did you not just hear that awful exchange between Robert and me?"
"No, I heard just fine." He paused for dramatic effect "Doesn't matter. The guy's in love with you."
Elizabeth turned and walked away mumbling "I'll take your patient up now." There is no way that this could be true; it was absolutely impossible. She knew it was completely and utterly preposterous. Robert and she were friends, nothing more, and hell, he didn't even want to be that anymore.
She wondered where on earth Carter and Lewis would have come up with such an odd idea as that.
She was in another world as she rolled the patient towards the elevator, so much so that she didn't notice Robert Romano's eyes on her, and she didn't see the obvious pain of unrequited love.
Robert stood in the hall watching as the doors closed on Elizabeth's solemn face. He hated, more than anything, being estranged from her. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he tried to let her in and she hadn't even called him back.
'Well' he thought, 'you had your chance' and it was true. His conscience would let him lie to everyone else, but not to himself. She had tried to mend things between them, and he hadn't allowed it. He had, as always, pushed her away. He didn't like pain, any type of it, and that is all he could foresee when he tried to envision a future with Elizabeth Corday.
He brought his hand to his face and rubbed his eyes.
Carter, who had witnessed the entire scene came up to Romano, smiled, and said "So, you gonna tell her?"
Romano, jolted out of his thoughts said indignantly "Excuse me?"
"I said, you gonna tell her?"
"Tell who what?"
"Tell Dr. Corday that you love her."
Romano looked shocked at first, but recovered quickly, and said, regarding Carter with disdain "Oh shut up and go kill somebody." And with that, he stalked off.
Carter just laughed.
As Romano headed back to the OR he wondered if he was really that transparent. And he wondered how on earth he let it slip. He thought that he had always been so careful; he thought that no one had known but himself. He had been wrong, and he absolutely hated being wrong.
As he stepped out of the elevator, Romano wondered how many other people knew the truth... how many knew of his love? But most importantly, did Elizabeth know how he felt? Is that why she didn't call him back? A million questions raced through his mind as he walked down the hall.
He saw Elizabeth and his heart sunk even deeper than usually into his stomach. He felt... embarrassed. What if she knew?
Robert felt his world starting to crumble. He was a realist, not an idealist; he based his knowledge on cold hard facts. And cold hard facts told him that Elizabeth could never return his feelings. So he did the only thing he knew to do, he turned away and entered and empty operating room before Elizabeth had the chance to see him.
Elizabeth saw Romano enter the Operating Room, and she even considered calling out to him, but she decided it wasn't such a good idea. Perhaps it was just too soon for them to be civil, and she really did not desire a recurrence of the earlier argument.
Elizabeth walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Yep, she still looked like hell. The day had been, as she expected, horrible. At least she was off in... she looked at her watch, "45 minutes" she said aloud.
She turned on the faucet and hunched over the sink splashing ice cold water on her face, while continuing to look at herself in the mirror. After a moment, she finally dried her face off and exited the bathroom at a brisk pace. As luck would have it though, she ran directly into Dr. Romano.
"Excuse me." She said before she had a chance to realize who it was.
He bit back a rude comment when he noticed that it was her. So instead, he said nothing and walked away.
Elizabeth decided that was enough and chose to go home. Her shift wasn't completely over, but she didn't care, it was close enough on a bad day.
She went home and tried to take her mind off of Carter's words. She took a long hot bath and told herself that it wasn't true, that Robert was not in love with her. She tried to fall asleep, but she couldn't stop thinking about it no matter how hard she tried.
There was only one thing to do.
*************************************************************** What is the only thing to do??? And will she actually do it??? What will happen next? We shall see....
I hope you all enjoyed it... and I hope that it kept your interest.
There wasn't much dialogue, I know, but I still hope y'all enjoyed it.
I have the outlines for chapters 10-14 (they should be relatively short)... but I hope you all keep interest.
PLEASE REVIEW!!! I truly appreciate reading everything you guys have to say!
