Chapter 2: Oh the responsibility
Being a surgeon gives you a lot of responsibilities hell being an adult gives you a whole lot of responsibilities and you know what responsibilities really do suck! The scariest thing of responsibility it's that it never goes away.
Marissa lay in her bed staring up at the ceiling she was about to turn around when Dennis rushed into her room. Marissa looked at him expecting him to say something but he just looked at her horrified. Marissa looked at her body and saw she wasn't wearing anything except for her diaphanous thong and bra. Marissa threw her blanket around her and gave Dennis an evil glare.
Marissa: What?!
Dennis: We're late! You're late!
Marissa shook her head this was so not what she had imagined when she told Taylor, Summer and Dennis could live with her. Marissa looked at Dennis as if to say 'if you don't leave now I'll kill you!'
Dennis: Right well Summer isn't waking up either so you and her on are your own me and Taylor are off.
Marissa: Bye!
Marissa shook her head and gathered her clothes she went to the bathroom and just as she was about to enter she felt Taylor hugging her. Marissa turned around to see a very happy Taylor. Marissa couldn't help but smile slightly.
Marissa: What?
Taylor: I just wanted to thank you again! Thank you so much for letting us stay.
Marissa: You're welcome. Now I see you at the hospital okay.
Taylor: Yeah okay! Bye Maris.
Marissa: Bye Tay!
Marissa smiled and walked into the bathroom she turned the water on and stepped inside letting the hot droplets cascade on her bare back. Her mind wondered of at her mother she knew people would start asking questions but she didn't know if she could answer them she didn't know she could tell them she wanted to she didn't like it to lie but her mother had asked her not to when she still was in her right frame of mind. Marissa couldn't help but let the tear that had formed in her eye roll down her cheek. She shook her head trying to remove every last memory of her mother our of her mind.
Marissa could hear the door open. Summer came into the bathroom with only her thong and bra on and her clothes in her hand.
Summer: Why did Chilli and Taylor have to be so chipper?
Marissa smiled when she heard Summer's tired voice she sighed.
Marissa: I really don't know my shift doesn't start until another hour.
Summer: I know mine doesn't start till then too.
Marissa: I guess they were just…
Summer: Annoying?
Marissa: Yeah I guess…
Summer: So how are you?
Marissa: I'm fine how are you?
Summer: Look Coop I may not know you that long but I think I know you pretty well and you're not fine you're tired and not fine.
Marissa let out a shaky breath she didn't even know she was holding why was she like this why couldn't she just live a drama free life ever since she was 15 years old she had had drama revolve around her entire life.
Summer: Does this have anything to do with McDreamy?
Marissa poked her head out of the shower and looked confused at Summer.
Marissa: McWho?
Summer: McDreamy you know dr. Cohen.
Marissa: We're calling him McDreamy?
Summer: Yes we are.
Marissa laughed slightly and turned the water off. She shook her head sadly at Summer and Summer stayed silent she wanted her to continue.
Marissa: No it had nothing to do with him.
Marissa looked at Summer and saw her give her a reassuring smile she nodded for Marissa to continue.
Marissa: It's about my mother… she uhm she has Alzheimer. And everything has just been back firing she doesn't remember me anymore not even on her good days she doesn't know who I am she thinks I am her nurse but I am not I'm here daughter and I love her so much but she just…she just doesn't remember me and I hate her for not remembering me I envy her for having Alzheimer what kind of daughter am I huh? I blame my mom for her Alzheimer.
Marissa couldn't help but sob she felt the hot tears stream down her face and she closed her eyes, she could feel to slim arms wrap around her.
Summer: Shhh it'll be okay you'll be okay.
Marissa: I don't know what to do anymore. I just don't.
Summer: You'll know what to do when you need to, for now just need to live as long as there aren't any complications and things don't get more messed up.
Marissa wiped her eyes dry and smiled at Summer; Summer returned the smile and hugged her again.
Marissa: Thanks Summer.
Summer: No problem Coop!
Marissa and Summer came through the hospital doors both seeing Ryan and Seth come in on too. Summer looked at Seth and then at Ryan she stopped abruptly and Marissa turned around to see her staring at Seth and Ryan who just flashed them a smile.
Marissa: Sum are you okay?
Summer: Yeah it's just that something just hit me.
Marissa: What's that?
Summer: Well Ryan Cohen and Seth Cohen…then them showing up together…I think that they're family.
Marissa: Wow I didn't even think of that.
Summer: And might I add Seth Cohen looks very hot.
This time it was Marissa who stopped on her place she smiled at Summer and Summer winked at her.
Marissa: Do you like Seth Cohen?
Summer: Well he sure as hell looks great!
The girls both laughed their way through the hall and walked to their locker room.
Ryan and Seth were in looking at the board and saw that it was a normal board not a quite one but also not a busy when one just a normal board.
Ryan: Hey Seth I think we should have dinner tonight you know catch up just like old times a little Seth/Ryan time.
Ryan winked at Seth and Seth smiled proudly.
Seth: You remembered?
Ryan: How could I forget something as good as you're little Seth/Ryan times?
Seth: Yeah it's kind of hard to forget what a genius I am I understand it must have been hard for you living without you're mastermind brother.
Ryan: Right…
Seth smiled and so did Ryan.
Seth: You know what Seth/Ryan time has to require though?
Ryan: Pudding I know I know!
Seth laughed and hugged Ryan again.
Seth: I'm really glad you're back man.
Ryan: Yeah me too.
And with that both Ryan and Seth's beepers began beeping frantically.
Ryan: 911 got to go!
Seth: Me too!
Both run off in the same direction towards the entrance.
Marissa, Summer, Luke and Taylor were bringing in the patients running to one side to the other. Marissa and Summer were handling a little boy that was loosing consciousness, he was trying to tell them something but everything he said came out in a slur. Marissa got out her light and opened his eyelids he was trying to close them but Marissa needed him to stay focused.
Woman: Mike!!! Sweetie say something!!! Mike!!!!
Taylor tried to calm the woman down she was screaming and crying and Taylor tried to calm her down.
Woman: But he's my son!
Taylor: Okay miss you're son is being taken care off. You just need to calm down and tell me your name and what happened.
The woman tried to calm herself down shaking and still sobbing she saw a blond haired doctor run to her sun and she could feel the panic rise in her again.
Woman: Angela Spencer and that's my son Michael Spencer my husband is on his way over here right now. I don't what happened I was driving him too school when he just suddenly started vomiting her told me he was nauseous but I didn't listen so I drove him to school and then I got a call from his school that he was going to hospital and that they had called an ambulance because he was having a seizure.
Taylor took in a deep breath this was harder then she thought it would be.
Taylor: Okay Mrs. Spencer my name is dr. Townsend and you can come with me now you have to fill out some forms and Dr. Cohen will come and tell you what's going on okay?
Mrs Spencer just nodded her head and when they were about to walk away. They heard a beep pound through their ears. Taylor looked at the scene and saw a panicking Marissa and a very professional and fast working dr. Cohen.
Ryan: Damn it!! Flat line! Peddles give me the peddles!
Ryan began to perform CPR on the small boy that was lying on the hospital bed they had switched him on. Marissa was standing back and looked at the scene in shock she was not wired for this he was just a small boy he hadn't done anything to deserve this and now he might possibly be dying.
Ryan: Marissa? Marissa? Dr. COOPER!!!
Marissa was brought back from her shock and looked at Ryan who was watching her intently trying to see what was going on with her he knew that he was very scared when this happened to him in the first few months and still he didn't feel completely comfortable that a life was in his hands but he did love his job and he loved saving lives whenever he could.
Ryan: Take over Marissa!
Marissa looked at Ryan pleading with her eyes she couldn't do it she just couldn't. She looked around her and saw Summer and Luke with another patient that had been rushed in it was an old man he was having a heart attack or so it looked like that. She then looked at the other Dr. Cohen who was watching Summer and Luke doing their job quite well he then watched her and nodded his head as if trying to say that it was okay. For Marissa it felt like the entire world moved in slow motion she looked at Taylor who had Mrs. Spencer in her arms she was doing the best that she could she was trying to sooth her and move her away from the scene and into the waiting room. Then it hit Marissa this wasn't about her it was about a helpless young boy who needed her, a boy who had his entire life ahead of him a boy who was innocent. She moved from her spot and ran to Ryan. She replaced his hands with hers and he helped her up the bed. So that she could have a good position and wouldn't get too tired too soon.
Marissa pushed her hand in and out of his chest trying to get his heart beat back hoping it would help, how could this be happening? He was just a young child a helpless young boy who hadn't asked for this. Marissa could feel the tears sting in her eyes and she let them fall freely why was this day so hard? Ryan got the peddles finally and got Marissa of the bed with one arm he told her to continue pushing while he was taking her body in his. And she did continue she did what was told her because right at this moment she wasn't scared anymore.
Ryan: Charge the peddles to 100.
Nurse: Charged!
Ryan: Clear.
Ryan waited and hoped for a sign that his heart came back to normal he couldn't handle this he didn't want this he was still in front of the entrance. Nothing came back his heart didn't come back and Ryan could feel his heart flutter but he tried again he had to try again and so he did he tried three times and three times nothing happened he didn't get his heart beat back.
Ryan: Charge to 300!
Nurse: Dr. Cohen he's…
Ryan looked at the nurse with his piercing blue eyes she knew better then to cross him he looked determined and hopeful so she nodded and charged the peddles. And just when Ryan had put the peddles back on the little boy he could hear a beep come back. Ryan smiled and let out a sigh of relief he looked at the nurse who gave him an apologetic look he smiled at her trying to reassure her. And with that he walked away with the boy in his bed.
Marissa breathed a sigh of relief and was so happy he had come back to them even though the entire thing had been a few minutes it had felt like an entire life time. Where she had seen a death and life, Marissa looked at Summer who looked distraught shit she thought she has probably lost the patient. She walked to Summer who was standing next to Seth and Luke.
Seth: Call it dr. Roberts.
Summer: But I…
Seth: Call it.
Summer had tears in her eyes she didn't want to call this mans death she didn't want to do it at all and now she had to in front of everyone she had to call his time of death.
Summer: Time of death 10.46
Summer threw he gloves away and ran away Marissa saw Summer running away and ran after her she looked at Seth before she left who just shrugged his shoulders and began to take his own gloves of too.
Marissa: Summer!
Summer ran towards the staircase and sat down on the stairs she took her head in her hands and sobbed softly.
Marissa: Oh Sum.
Marissa sat down next to her and she took her shaking body in hers she couldn't believe everything was happening so fast not only a few hours ago Summer was the strong one and was comforting her now she had to be the strong one and comfort Summer.
Summer: That was the most inhumane thing I have ever done in my entire life.
Marissa: Summer calling someone's time of death isn't inhumane it's life it's part of our job and seeing that you care that only makes you more human.
Summer: I know Coop it's just so hard.
Marissa: I know sweetie I know, but you know what maybe you've lost one life today but you'll save hundreds of lives to make up for it.
Summer smiled at Marissa and Marissa wiped away Summer's tears.
Summer: Since when did you get good at giving people advice?
Marissa: Since I am very damaged myself. I'm so damaged that I can repair other people's damage. You get me?
Summer: No I really don't. But hey what else is new.
Summer and Marissa laughed a little and then got up Summer turned to walk away but then she looked back at Marissa who smiled at her.
Summer: Coop thanks.
Marissa: You to Sum you to.
Ryan: So can anyone tell me what Mike's symptoms indicate. Uhm Dr. Roberts.
Summer: Well he has had seizures while he does not have a history with seizures, he has had eye weakness, lost consciousness, nausea and vomiting and speak disturbance these symptoms are all conclusions of a brain tumour.
Ryan: That's right he does have a brain tumour now how do we treat a brain tumour dr. Ward?
Luke: What?
Ryan: I suspect you to listen to what I am talking about dr. Ward if it's too hard to listen you can show yourself out this is one of my patients and I would appreciate it if you listened. Dr. Cooper could you maybe answer my question help Dr. Ward fresh up his memory.
Marissa looked at Ryan nervously she knew exactly what they needed to do but what if she started to talk gibberish she saw how irritated he was by Luke now if she messed up she would be adding fuel to the flame.
Marissa: Uhm well seeing that Mike is very young he has a big chance of full recovery so in Mike's case the brain tumour can be treated by surgery and radiation therapy.
Ryan: That's right Dr. Cooper we will start with the surgery.
Ryan walked out of the room and turned back to see Summer, Marissa, Taylor, and Luke stare at him.
Ryan had seen how distraught Summer had been and he knew he was the same when he had lost his first 'life' he gave her a reassuring smile.
Ryan: Dr. Roberts you can scrub in.
Summer smiled at him and thanked him with a nod Marissa looked at Summer and saw how happy she was she then looked at Ryan and gave him a small smile.
Luke: Dude you get to scrub in on a freaking brain surgery.
Summer: I know!
Luke: Why do these things never happen to me?
Taylor: Maybe because you never listen or pay attention.
Luke: I would pay attention to you anytime!
Taylor scrunched her nose in disgust and just walked away she couldn't believe he was actually hitting on her.
Luke smiled as she walked away and followed her.
Ryan walked into the waiting room and saw a dishevelled Mr and Mrs. Spencer he threw his gloves away while walking to them, Summer was walking next to him.
Ryan: Mr. and Mrs Spencer?
Both Mr and Mrs. Spencer got up and looked at Ryan as if he was going to change their entire life's as if he was going to tell them they had lost their son as if he was going to take a way the little bit of hope they still had.
Mrs. Spencer: Yes?
Ryan: I'm happy to tell you that the surgery went well and we removed the entire tumour which means that he doesn't radiation therapy he should make a full recovery and it's all thanks to this young lady right here.
Ryan smiled at Summer who was looking at the parents but when he told them it was her who saved him she could feel her breath catching in her throat Mrs. Spencer hugged Summer and thanked Ryan. Ryan looked at Summer who smiled at him appreciatively she knew he only did it because she had been so upset after she lost her patient but now she had also saved another patient and nothing in the world felt better then to have saved somebody's life that is why she had become a surgeon she had known it all along but she just needed a little reminder of it.
Marissa walked into Mike's room and saw him hooked on to a lot of wires his head was covered with band aid and he was sleeping peacefully. Marissa sat next to him and held his hand in hers why she came here was beyond her but she did come and she did feel quite good about it. She looked at him and gasped sadly even though she knew the surgery went successful and he would make a full recovery she couldn't help but feel saddened he was just a little boy who had to deal with feeling nauseous, vomiting, not being able to speak and he had to find out he had a brain tumour it was just a whole lot.
Marissa: You don't know this yet but life isn't supposed to be like this it's not supposed to be this hard…I think.
Marissa looked at Mike who was stirring his eyes fluttered open and he smiled at her. She smiled back at him and he shut his eyes again going back to sleep. Marissa let go of his hand and walked out of the hospital room. She smiled to herself, although his day had been unbelievably hard he was still smiling he kept fighting and he was strong. Marissa shook her head closed the door and walked away, she had to be responsible she had to take responsibility over her mother.
Responsibility. It really does suck. Unfortunately, once you get past the age of braces and training bras, responsibility doesn't go away. It can't be avoided. Either someone makes us face it or we suffer the consequences. And still adulthood has it perks. I mean the shoes, the sex, and the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. That's, pretty damn good.
Okay so that's it! I hope you liked it please leave me a review!!!
Love Noor!!!
