Flashback
Neela's Point of View
"Neela, I'm leaving. I'm being deployed to Iraq." These words shot through me like ice. "Your....what?" I asked bewildered.
"I've been called up. I'm leaving for Iraq." He told me again.
I didn't say anything to this. I just looked into his eyes. All I could think was "He is crazy....he's just kidding around." But, it never turned out to be that.
Present Day
Neela shot up in her bed. She was reliving this moment everynight in her sleep. To this day the words still shot through her head. She was beginning to resist sleep due to this unfortunate dream.
"Go away." She told herself. "Just go away." She said again shaking her head.
Now that she didn't have work she had nothing to do. She had turned down her only chance to become a doctor, begged for work at County. At times she was almost close to just walking down there, telling Kerry how much she needed it, and begging some more. Anything is what she wanted. She would stock shelves for all she cared. She just needed to be back in that hospital. It was like losing a friend. But she didn't need anymore of that. It was too horrible to bare again. And anyway, if she had gone down there they would probably just send her home and her friends would resent her. She had finally found a cheap apartment, but in one of the worst parts of town. She could barely pay her rent.....
