HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CHAPTER! XXX REVIEW!
I looked around the nurses lounge . . . It was my first day back and everyone was staring, I heard Jessica whisper and I rolled my eyes. Angela came and hugged me "Don't mind them . . . I am happy your back." She whispered.
"Yeah me too." I smiled half-heartedly.
My pager went and I sighed, I made my way out of the room and to the E.R (Emergency room). I looked up at Dr. Parker, he pointed to me, "We have two incoming emergency's, teenage kids in a football accident, I need you to take blood, I need them to be taken to get X-ray's, look for unusual behaviour and don't mess up." He said quickly.
I nodded and then the trauma doors opened, revealing two people on gurneys being brought in, I sighed and rushed to work, "Put gurney one in wing 5A, gurney two in wing 4." I pointed, the paramedics nodded and we got them onto beds and I took the child in wing 4 while Angela took the one in 5A.
I listened to the paramedic while looking over the body, "16 year old male, suffered a tackle landing on his leg followed by his left leg. We have give 10mls of morphine and the patient complains of a severe headache and we also noted swelling and a blue bruise on his left femur, we are not sure if it is broken." He said quickly, I nodded and then paged the neurosurgery consult; I took blood sending it off to get a match for a blood transfusion.
I then took him to get an X-ray and M.R.I (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) while I waited for the consult I sat by his bed, not aloud to leave until his parents got here, I sat in the bedside chair, giving him meds, he looked at me, fright in his eyes.
"Are you hurting or in pain?" I asked him.
"No ma'am." He said.
"Your parents are on the way so I just need you to stay calm and relaxed." I told him.
He nodded and I smiled weakly, "A consult is coming down to look at you okay, they need to make sure everything is okay before you get to leave the hospitals, your X-rays should be hear in a little while so we know if your leg is broken or not, okay?" I looked at him.
He nodded and I looked as I heard someone come threw the door, "Hello Ms. Swan." Edward greeted me; I smiled and gave him the chart.
I stood by the wall and watched as Edward shone a light into the child's eye, Edward looked at his vitals and then at the M.R.I scan.
"Okay everything looks good in the scan and you don't seem to be having any seizure or dizziness but we have to keep you overnight for observation." Edward said.
"Okay . . . Um, is my friend Jack okay? He got hit hard." He asked, looking at Edward and me.
"We haven't heard anything but Ms. Swan will find out as much as she can." He said, handing me the chart. He nodded for me to come with him and I looked at my patient.
"I will be just a moment, I will find out what I can." I said, he nodded.
I went outside the door and looked at Edward, "Hi!" I whispered.
He took my hand and led me into a supply closet, making sure no one saw us, he then kissed me hard, and his tongue licking my lip and I smiled against his lips, "Hey." He said when he pulled away, I giggled.
"I have wanted you to do that for a long time." I whispered.
"I know, but um . . . I don't know how to say this but, it's my last week here." He whispered.
My heart sank, "What?"
"Bella, I have to move hospital, I signed the contract last night, the board broke my contract that I had here, and well I am working at Mercy West next week." He stated.
I let a few tears escape, "I am going to miss you." I whispered.
"I know, but we are still together, we will still be together . . . We just wont work in the same building." He kissed my forehead, "Everything will be okay baby." He said.
I nodded and kissed him one last time, "I have to get back to work, and I will see you at lunch?" I said.
He nodded. I walked out of the supply closet and looked for Angela, I sat down behind the desk and suddenly she was beside me. "Hey babe, what you up to?" She asked.
"Um . . . Nothing much but, the footballer Jack that came in, how is he? His friend is asking for him." I looked at her.
She frowned, "He died of heard failure, his body was hit hard and he had a seizure and then flat line. He died." I frowned, I hated this part of the day, telling people that there loved ones were dead.
I got up, "I got to go tell him." She nodded and when I walked into his room I noticed that his family was there and that he had a cast on his leg.
He smiled, "How is he?"
"Um . . ." I looked at his parents and then his sister and brother, "I am really sorry to report that he has passed, he died of Heart Failure, his body went into shock and he never recovered." I tried to get passed there screams and crying but I ended up walking out of the room, crying myself.
I went to the stairwell and sat down at the very bottom of it, my breathing was hard and I felt as if I was having an asthma attack, I heard footsteps on the stairs and tried to quieten myself but it didn't work, I hoped they wouldn't come down here, just not notice me but then I saw skinny legs and high heels make there way down the steps finally turning to face me, "Are you okay?" Blonde women asked, she was gorgeous and I nodded but then more tears came.
"Um . . . . Do you need me to get someone?" She asked.
I shook my head, "No . . . ." I let myself let out a whimper and then another one.
She sat beside me, "Please let me help you." She said, desperately, her blue eyes shining at me with sadness in her eyes.
I sighed and looked at her, "You can't do anything to help me." I lay my head on her shoulder.
"You could tell me why you are crying?" She said hopefully.
"Well . . . My boyfriend is moving hospital so I wont get to see him so often, I just delivered news to a 16 year old boy that his friend has died, half the hospital stares at me like I have three heads because I am dating an attending and I cant walk into a room without getting glared at so . . ." I shook my head and sighed. "It doesn't help that my mom has chosen her new husband over me." I added, life sucked, the only good thing was Edward and Angela plus Alice.
I sighed and she hugged me, "I am sorry." I heard the door open and I looked up to see Edward with sad eyes.
"Oh . . . Edward I was looking for you." The blonde women said.
I looked at her in confusion, "Rosalie, your back." He smiled, "Emmett and Alice are in my dad's office." He said, she nodded and got up.
"I hope you will be okay." She said to me.
I continued to let my tears stream and as soon as she was out the door, Edward was there, he held me in his warm embrace, "Why are you crying love?" He asked.
I shook my head, "I had to tell a 16 year old boy that his best friend died and also I am upset that you are leaving." I whispered my breathing back to normal.
I lay my head on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around me, "Bella, it will be fine, I will only be a few miles away, everything will work out, plus I will be working on cases here and in Mercy West. The job contract is 6mothes, if I don't like it . . . If we don't like it, then I am back." He kissed me hard, our tongues dancing in each others mouths, he pulled back and sighed and I looked up at him.
"What is it?" I asked, my hand resting on his chest.
"Bella . . . I know this isn't the most romantic place or the right time but I have to say it because it is how I feel . . . I love you, I have since the day I saw you." He said, looking at me.
I smiled widely, "I love you too Edward." I kissed him, my fingers running threw his hair, our faces together and we held each other tightly.
I pulled back for air and I smiled at him, "I am so not hungry anymore." I whispered, laughing as I kissed him again.
He chuckled and then we both stood up, we still had a job to do. He rubbed my eyes with his thumbs, giving me another kiss, he opened the door and Alice, Rosalie and Emmett stumbled as they had there ears pressed up to the door.
Edward looked at them questioningly, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing . . ." Emmett said. He was a really big guy, very muscular and had jet black hair.
He smiled at me, "You must be Bella Swan, and my brother doesn't shut up about you." He smiled again, I expected to shake his hand but suddenly my feet were off the ground and he was hugging me, I struggled to breath and I smiled thankfully at Rosalie for telling him to put me down.
"Your welcome." She mouthed.
I winked and she nodded, Edward out his hand around my waist and I held his forearm.
His pager went off and he picked it up, "Crap . . . 911 from the E.R." He said, he released me and sprinted as fast as he could down the hallway to the elevator. I watched as he got in pressing the button.
"So . . . Have you two had sex yet?" Emmett asked.
I gasped, Rosalie hit him hard, "Emmett . . . Sorry Bella, he is a dumb idiot sometimes, not thinking before he speaks." I nodded, forgiving him.
"It's okay." I said.
"So how long have you two been together?" She asked.
"Around two and half months." I said.
They nodded, "So you want to get lunch? I am starving." Alice said.
I nodded and we walked to the elevator, we all got in and I saw for the first time how they were all dressed, God This Family Was Rich. Everything they wore was designer.
Rosalie was wearing a Prada dress with a black handbag with gold studs at the bottom, Emmett was wearing a suite he had taken his jacket off and was in his shirt, I could see that his shirt was Gucci and his suit was Dolce and Gabanna. Alice wore juicy sweats, she didn't look as if she were well, she look ill, but she had style when she was ill, he accessories went amazingly with her outfit, I looked at myself in light green scrubs, but I looked hot, if I could say that. I looked sophisticated and smart but sexy smart, at least I think I did.
I walked towards the cafeteria and they stopped me, "Where are you going?" Emmett asked.
I looked at them in confusion, "To get food." I said.
"You honestly think we are going to the cafeteria, we are going across the street to the Italian restaurant." He told me.
I shook my head, "I can't go, and I have to work." I said.
"Don't worry; it's been taken care of." Rosalie said, holding up her phone.
I smiled, "You sure?"
Alice rolled her eyes, "We cleared it with our dad, know come on." They said.
I nodded and we walked out of the hospital, we walked about ten minutes before we got to the restaurant. I sat beside Alice with Emmett and Rosalie on the other side of the booth.
Alice was coughing and I frowned, "Alice your sick, shouldn't you be in bed or at least at home?" I asked her.
"I am fine, just a head cold." She shrugged it off.
I sighed in defeat and looked over at Rosalie and Emmett, they rolled there eyes, "Your sick." Emmett whispered.
Alice glared but looked at the menu. I decided on a Caesar salad.
We ordered and over lunch we talked about our careers and I learnt a lot about Emmett and Rosalie, I heard that they had been together for two years and were engaged. I smiled at that, hoping Edward and I would be engaged sometime in the future.
Emmett and Rosalie were a lot alike, they liked the same music and had same interests but they still had different things they didn't like, they were perfect together.
I sighed wishing Edward was here. I looked at Alice and she looked really sick, "You have got to go home." I exclaimed.
"I cant, I have to stay healthy and alert." She said which didn't make much sense.
"Alice listen to the doctor." Rosalie giggled.
Alice groaned and coughed. Glaring at everyone, I stifled a laugh as she turned on me.
We continued to eat and after desert Emmett paid and I felt a little bad but he reassured me that it was his pleasure. After a long talk with Rose over desert, I found that she was really nice and pleasant. I learnt that she was a Midwife, she loved babies and wanted some with Emmett, and I thought that was cute.
Emmett laughed and agreed with her, adding in that he would love making them, he got a slap for that from Rose.
I laughed but soon enough it was time for me to get back to work, I sighed as I went to the nurse's lounge, only Jessica was there and I groaned silently.
I went to my locker and got my notepad, writing down what meds I needed to give to patients and the patients I needed to check up on. I sat at the table and opened a chart, fixing it up and correcting my errors.
"How did you get away with it?" She asked.
"Get away with what?" I snapped, not caring that I was being rude.
"Oooo . . . Getting a bit grouchy, is it because of your hormones or your boyfriend moving away." She whispered.
"Neither of those things and I don't see how it's your business." I said, glaring at her.
"Oh . . . Shut up, we all know you get special treatment you bitch." She slapped her hand against the desk.
I looked up at her, "What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Well isn't it obvious to you, we all run around like dogs delivering labs and collecting blood while you are observing in the O.R (operating room) and you get treated as if you are better than us, you get all the good patients, you get to assist the attending and you are dating Edward Cullen, How do you do it, flash your boobs around or suck on his dick?" She asked, I was furious.
"Well no I don't do that . . . Have you ever noticed that I don't work on the service you work on, I don't make mistakes and I certainly don't have to flash my boobs around to get attention so I can get a good patient, you earn respect by respecting yourself and making sure every step you take is correct, so no I am not a whore like you. Now leave me alone or I will report you to the chief of surgery." I yelled. She looked shocked but stood up and walked out of the room.
I continued to work on m charts and soon everyone walked in the room, I hadn't known it was 6:00pm already, I sighed I was on the nightshift.
Angela sat beside me and I looked up at her smiling, "Hey." I said.
"Hey, you are a badass bitch." She giggled, high-fiving me.
I smiled and shrugged, "What did she say to you?" I asked, wondering.
"Well you are a stuck up bitch and she said that you told her how to do her job." Ang, shrugged, I giggled with her as Jessica walked in, glaring towards us.
Angela waved, smiling, and I hit her arm playfully, "Stop." I laughed.
She shrugged, "Whatever . . . You on the nightshift?" She asked. I nodded and her smile grew wider, "Same, lets stay together, no way am I going near that Mike Newton freak, he asked if I was a virgin, who says that to a girl?" She said, annoyance in her voice, I laughed.
"Yeah, he tried to hit on me to. So how are you and Ben? The word on the street is that you two are dating." I wiggled my eyebrows.
She blushed and nodded, "Yes we are and he is amazing. But I am staying a virgin until I am married, my father is a pastor." She said. I nodded, "You a virgin?" She asked.
"Yeah, but I am waiting until I am married as well." I said, I grew up around the church and even though I wasn't sure if any of it existed or not, I still wanted to keep that one rule unbroken, no sex.
I sighed and looked threw a magazine that was on the table, I looked around the room and saw that there was no one left in the room except for me and Angela.
"Are we the only one's on the nightshift?" I asked, looking at the schedule board.
I groaned, and Angela gasped in horror when we saw that, Mike Newton and Jackson Avery are on the nightshift for the inters but then she saw Ben's name. She squealed and I smiled.
"Okay so he says he will see us in about an hour and a half, he has loads of patients to check on." Angela said, putting her phone down as she just text Ben, I nodded and we began joking and laughing at the pictures in the magazines.
We decided to go get a coffee at the cafeteria and I saw Edward dressed in casual clothes, he was going home. I tapped his shoulder and he turned, smiling.
He greeted Angela and I hugged him, we sat at a little table and he gave me his coffee. "Thanks babe, you going home?" I gestured to his clothes.
"No . . . I am going to stay at Emmett's tonight, him and Rose are having the whole family over for a family breakfast tomorrow morning and I live an hour away so I decided to stay there." He shrugged. I nodded, "I better be going, its getting late, nice to meet you again Angela." He smiled.
I stood up with him and hugged him, he gave me a quick kiss, "I love you." I told him.
"I love you too. See you tomorrow afternoon." He whispered, he kissed me again once more and I smiled.
He walked away and once I sat back down and had finished my coffee Angela looked at me, "What should we do?" She asked.
I smiled cheekily; I have the perfect idea . . .
