Sorry about the long update time. I haven't been writing much. I didn't
want you to have to wait any longer to find out what will happen. And I
have a new obsession with a couple characters, and because Laura is based a
lot off of me, like Laura is my first name, so hopefully I portray her
right in my eyes. Here is what happens. Please read and review.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Her eyes fluttering open, Laura was awoken by the strong scent of disinfectant and a slight twinge of pain that was still in her side. She was laying on her right side and Greg sat in the chair next to her bed, fidgeting nervously.
"Greg," Laura whispered, reaching a hand to rest on one of his, "Are you ok?"
Greg gaped at her and with wide eyes, "Why are you asking if I'm ok, you're the one who had surgery. Whoops, shouldn't have said that."
Suddenly alert, she tried turning on her back until she almost cried out from the pain.
"Greg, tell me what you mean by I had surgery. Tell me what happened, now." She ordered. But because she was the intern, he was her superior, and didn't say a thing.
"I was told by. someone, that I wasn't supposed to tell you anything, so I won't." he said, turning toward the door, and away from her, as if waiting for someone.
Again, Laura reached out her hand to Greg's, tightly holding on to it. Was it Grissom that told you that because if it was-"
The entering of Grissom and her doctor, as well as Sara carrying two cups of coffee, cut off her words. When Laura saw Grissom's eyes flash to their hands together, she pulled her arm away so quickly that it caused more pain to her side.
Before words could come to his lips, Sara shot a glance at their boss, then walked over to hand one of the cups of coffee to Greg.
Laura began bombarding the doctor with questions like, How did I get here, and What was wrong, as well as What surgery happened, which caused another glace being shot, this time from both Grissom and Sara, directed towards Greg.
The doctor explained in Laymen's terms, that she had had severe bruising around her abdomen, and that a blood vessel had popped, so they had to go into surgery immediately to repair it. As for how she got here, the doctor pointed to Grissom, saying that he had brought her in, and that he could explain how he got her there if he wanted to.
He also told her that she could go home after filling out some paper work, but that she had to stay in bed. Mentioning the pain still piercing her side, he handed her two pills of strong painkiller, and saying that it should completely knock out the pain, but that it may make her drowsy. He told her to press the call button to get a nurse if she needed anything else, then he left to make other calls on patients.
Grissom was edging towards the door, trying to get out before he was asked how she had gotten there. He didn't want to be labeled a hero, because he wasn't. He just helped a coworker who was in need, nothing more.
Just as he was reaching for the door handle, Laura's voice split trough the heavy silence,
"Freeze, Mr. Grissom. I have the right to know how I got here, and you had better tell me."
~*~**~*~*~*~
Oh, a cliffhanger, but not much of one. So sorry I haven't updated in forever. Please forgive me. And the bruises will be explained soon, they do have a point. Please read and review.
