The next morning is hell. I feel like shit and everything hurts, but fuck it I am going to work. I sluggishly get dressed and just apparate to my usual alleyway, not in the mood to drive or speak to the others. I head to my first case of the day and ignore Mer's gaze as I walk in. I listen to Cristina present but the sound of giggling kind of distracts everyone until Cris figures it out.
"Is that.."
"Porn." The wife supplies, not even looking up from her knitting. Bailey spins around and gapes at the TV.
"Porn, as in porn?"
"Alright, what are we watching?" Karev asks, a perverted grin on his face.
"Karev, go stand in the hall." Bailey demands before turning to face the patient, "Uh, Mr. & Mrs. Lamott, I'm sure you are really nice people, and what you do in the privacy of your own ... Look, we can't have porn in here. This is a hospital." I ignore the patient's reply as the ladies and I stare up at the screen, a particularly uncomfortable position on the screen.
"That does not look comfortable," Cris states as we all crane our necks to the left.
"Trust me, it's not." I reply casually, ignoring the way everyone including Bailey gapes at me before she dismisses us to the hall as well. Seeing as I am no longer an intern I go to grab my usual from the coffee cart, downing the entire cup before ordering another one to wake myself up. I jog down to the E.R. once I'm paged and walk in right behind Karev and George, ignoring the patient's rambling, more focused on the doctor presenting.
Paging Burke, I let the interns take the patient so I can go do something else. I stop as the lights flicker and then head to where the people are trying to pry the door open. I roll my eyes and shove them out of the way and pulling it open myself, same with the next one only to see the G.S.W. I just left. Of course the poor guy's stuck with the worst interns here. I move back Bailey tries to peer inside, Burke checking in on the patient.
I brush Dr. Montgomery, ignoring her smile and jogging off to the E.R. to help the minor stuff. I do a couple of stitches here and there, getting annoyed at the constant buzzing in my front pocket. I feel an intense pain in the back ofmy head as I finish up the last teenager, not expecting to suddenly fall to the ground with a flash of white light behind my eyes.
Time Skip
The first thing I see when I open my eyes is red hair and then an angry Latina. I close my eyes once more until the lights are dimmed and then crane my neck to the side, taking in the faces of Dr. Montgomery and the interns.
"What happened?" I mutter, assuming that I'm still in the hospital.
"Well, other than the lack of food in your system, there's nothing wrong with you. So, I'm going to discharge you with the advice to eat real food, no more passing out." Bailey informs me quietly, fixing me with a pointed glare as I slide my feet out from under the covers. I shrug off the hospital gown, thankful for whoever left my boxers on, and grab my trousers. I end up just putting them and shoving the rest into my bag that someone must have grabbed from the lounge.
I brush past all the interns with a muttered 'see you at home' and head out into the rain. I apparate home, half surprised I didn't splinch myself, and straight into my bedroom. I do my best to ignore the thoughts of scarlet hair and the accompanying blue eyes, but in the end, she is the last thing on my mind.
