Snake had paged Emma, Manny and Jt to their new cancer patients room. When they got there, it was a young girl who had it. Her friends stood with her.
"Do.. you want us to present?" Manny nervously asked, afraid Snake might jump on her. He was still pissed. It had been two days since everything.
"No need, you're not my interns for this." he taunted. The three tilted their heads confused. "You heard what I said yesterday, no more surgeries. Not until I say so and not until someone confesses, the five of you will share a single patient: Camille Travis." he points to the young girl, "Tell them what you want Camille."
She and her friends grinned, "I-I missed my prom, since I was sick." she told them. "I want a dance."
The three stood still confused. What were they suppose to do for that?
"You're going to throw a dance in the hospital." Snake told them, trying to hold in his laugh. This would be great punishment.
"I-I don't do dances." JT confirmed
"I'm a doctor not a-"
"You're not anything right now." Snake taunted them and said, "You are whatever I want you to be. You are under my wrath and you aren't going anywhere. Wish you were fired yet?"
Their eyes stayed wide until he smirked and nodded, walking away.
"We need to talk theme," Camille's friend told the three and their mouths dropped. They were REALLY setting up a dance here in the hospital for a bunch of teeangers!? No surgeries?! Damn Liberty.
(((***)))
Liberty peaked her head into Danny's room. Her brother looked over, and he grinned as she did too, "Is Snake around?" she asked, shifting her eyes around his room nervously.
"No, he was in here earlier. Said he'd be back in a couple of hours. The coast is clear.." he drifted and she came in. They both laughed, and she stayed smiling. He looked so good.
"You look...God, you look amazing Danny. They always tell you transplant patients rebound fast, but, you know, to see it in person..." she shook her head amazed. The surgery had worked, Danny got the heart, Danny had a NEW heart. He was going to live.
Danny lifted his hands, "Lib, I have warm hands. I've never had warm hands because of my circulation. And check it out, I have a regular heartbeat.!"
"Ya, you do. I should, um...I got to go. I would stay, but if Snake catches me here, he'd...And, uh, you know. Kill me."
Danny laughed and nodded, waving "See you later, Sis."
She happily closed the door behind her, skipping away. "Van Zandt!" she heard and stopped in her tracks. She cringed but turned.
Snake.
He didn't look as mad as he did before, but still held a firm face. "If you are going to disobey me, than at least make yourself useful."
She gave him a look, "But...but you said I'm no longer an employee-"
"Until I say so. Now, go find Emma and the rest of them. You're event planners today."
She stood there more confused, "Wait. What?"
(((***)))
"Theme..." drifted Manny, sitting in the lunch room at the large table with Emma, Jt and Liberty. THey had a $3,000 budget..so it had to be good.
"What about the Titanic?" Emma asked.
"laaame." Jt said.
Liberty taunted his playfully, "Got any better ideas?"
"Matter of fact.." he drifted with a smirk and she giggled, tangling her fingers in with his, "What about-"
Manny cut off their moment, "wow! Glad everythings going so well for you guys but we are being punished here," she scowled at them "So lets get this done."
Emma and her shared a look and turned to the new couple who blushed and nodded.
Emma sighed and grabbed the paper from Manny to write a list, "Thankfully, I use to do this kinda stuff back in highschool." she began to write down what they needed. "God I feel like a goody two shoes in senior year again." they all laughed.
(((***))))
"Fine." Camille said, nodding to their idea for a theme, "We'll go with all black and gold.. but I want everything sparkly!"
Jt groaned and tossed his head back.
"Are you having a seizure?" Manny worriedly asked. He just shook his head and rolled his eyes. This was so dumb.
Snake had come in and they turned to him, wide eyes again and mouth shut. He paused and looked them over wierdly "what?" he snapped. Nothing. "What? One of you better spit out the problem right now!"
"We need sparkles!" Emma blurted out and checked her list, "A-and black and gold balloons. And a Dj. And dresses, and w-we aren't sure the budget it enough."
"Make it enough!" they jumped and nodded, running out.
(((***)))
Manny came back from the dress shop. Jt was taking care of the music stuff, and Emma went for party supplies.
She paused, passing Craigs office. He was sick yesterday so she checked to see if he was in today. Poor baby had the flu. When she opened the door, he wasnt there. She pouted but shrugged her left shoulder, closing the door.
She froze, and opened it back up. She dropped the dresses in her hand, and walked inside.
A red bra sat on his desk. A red bra that wasn't hers. Her heart smashed into a million pieces.
..Did Craig.. No he wouldn't. He would, why else would some girls bra be on his DESK!?
((***))
"You guys are in such shit," smirked Jay, sitting in his hospital bed.
Emma was on his side, on the chair beside the bed and sitting comfortably on it as she blew up a balloon and glared at him playfully before tying it up.
"Why don't you just tell them it was Liberty?" he sighed. He began to try to move his fingers. He had to exercise them every day to try to make them move again. It was like breaking a leg, when the casts comes off, you can just instantly walk on it and when you do, you have to learn how to walk again
Emma watched him cringe a bit as he did it as she explained, "Cause, she'd do it for me."
He looked over at her, and he softened. True. He'd do it for her too. Like Emma would do anything for him. She leaned over, putting one balloon down with the rest of the 100 others. Jay's room was filled with gold balloons.
She tangled her fingers onto his, helping him try to move it. He lovingly watched her help him. God he was so fucking in love with her.
(((***)))
"Are you gonna go?" Jt asked Manny and Emma in big cafeteria. They had moves chairs and tables to the side, and it was actually looking like a big gym with dance supplies around, "All the doctors and nurses are going so it feels like a real prom for the cancer patient."
Emma and Manny were both quiet. Emma was taping balloons up, Manny was doing nothing.
"Think I'm going to ask Liberty." he said with a grin, having a conversation with himself. He nodded and left to go do that.
When the door closed, Manny looked up numbly at Emma, "Craig cheated on me."
Emma looked over from the wall, blinking. "What?" she shook her head and tried to go over that. "No! He wouldn't."
"He would!" snapped Manny, going to her purse and lifting a red bra from it.
Emma tried to hold down her smile, "Could that be yours? I know you and Craig fool around in his office a lot, Manny."
"I would know my own bra Emma!"
"Sorry!" she breathed, getting the daggers from Mannys. She sighed and tried to be serious. "Why would he do that? I thought...I thought you two were really falling."
"I bet its that slutty Paige Michealchuck." Manny growled, her eyes flashing jealously. "I'm going to kill them both. Oh! Worst! I'm going to make Craig think I want a steamy little session in his office, and then I'm going to staple this bra to his dic-"
"Thought you could use some help?" Paige asked, coming inside, "I use to love doing this kind of stuff in highschool." she grinned, looking at the streamers and balloons hung up. Like highschool prom all over again.
Emma's eyes widened, whipping her head to look back at Manny who was huffing and puffing angerily and finally lunged for Paige. Cue cat fight.
"AHHHHH!"
((((***))))
Jt knocked on Danny's door, opening it and sliding inside when he saw Liberty in there. She looked over and Danny smirked as he saw her blush a little, "what is it, JT?" she asked.
Jt put his hands behind his back, clearing his throat, "I uh, wanted to ask you something."
"Ya?" she asked softly, her eyes growing concerned. He looked serious..
"well," he stepped closer, and glanced at Danny. He nervously scratched the back of his neck. "Maybe I should ask your brothers permission first since he's..here and all."
Liberty looked at him with a funny look before a smile crept out. "It's a little too soon for marriage.." she drifted playfully.
Jt laughed and sheepishly grinned, "What about the prom?"
Danny and Liberty both looked at him wierdly.
"A patient is having her prom here tonight. Everyones going," Jt stepped closer to Liberty, "Would you go with me?"
Silence.
"Answer the man! Damn. He's sweatin head to toe." Danny said, laughing at JT in entertainment. His sister had the guy on his edge.
Liberty got up and was blushing madly too as she giggled, "Yes JT, I'll go to dance with you." she leaned in, tenderly kissing him as he stood in shock and bliss. When she pulled away, he was smiling like an idiot.
"Cool." he nodded and backed up, smacking against the door and he jumped. He tried to fix his shirt and cleared his throat. "Cool." he turned and ran out.
Liberty laughed and turned to Danny who laughed too. "I like him. A bit of a geek, but I like him"
"You're a geek too," taunted Liberty.
(((***)))
Jesse and Jay were playing cards as Jay glared at his hand and cleared his throat, "I uh.." he stayed staring at his cards, "Haven't said thanks for you know, saving me.. and all."
Jesse grinned up from his cards. Jay obviously didn't say thank you a lot and didn't like the pressure. He shook his head chuckling until he asked, "You going to that prom thing?"
"The dance the cheif has Emma and the other three doing?" Jay couldn't help but grin at their expense. They were just lucky they weren't fired. "I don't know.."
"You should," Jesse raised an eyebrow, "They're being forced to go and Emma looking fine without a date?" he laughed again at Jay's vicious glare before Jay saw something at the corner of his eye
"hey, isn't that Ellie's patient, ex, thing?" he asked.
Jesse turned to see through the window that Sean Cameron had entered the hospital. He raised his eyebrows and got up to go see what he wanted.
(((***)))
"I'm sorry okay!?" Manny asked, her hair a mess. She had an ice pack on her cheek and Emma was fixing up Paige's split lip.
Paige also had messy hair from Manny pulling it, "You bitch slapped me you, BITCH! What the hell was that even for!?"
"I.." Manny went to yell and her shoulders dropped, looking down. She was going crazy. Craig was making her crazy. "I'm sorry. I.. thought you might of.."
She couldn't even say it. Paige glanced at Emma who looked at her and back to Manny.
"My boyfriend cheated on me." whispered Manny, more to herself to finally take it in and she bit her lip, tears coming to her eyes.
Paige looked sorry for her too, and Emma shook her head sadly.
"Well," Paige paused and smiled softly, "Nothing like revenge then getting hot tonight and meeting another prince charming at the ball tonight."
Manny smiled to Paige sadly, but she knew it wouldn't work. Her heart belonged to Craig and it seemed he liked to just play with it
How could he do this?
The devil himself came through the lobby, and Manny's eyes darkened. Craig cleared his throat from his sickness before he grinned down at her, "Hey beautiful," he then looked around, raising an eyebrow, "What," he smirked a bit, "happened?"
All the girls glared, but it was Manny's anger that struck him most as she got up and just left. Not a word, not even a kiss. He, confused, looked to Emma and Paige. "What I'd do?"
"You're disgusting!" Paige spat before getting up and leaving too.
Craig blinked, awfully confused now and threw his arms out, "It's just the flu!"
((((****))))
Liberty smiled, wearing a sparkly gold dress and her hair curled. She looked beautiful. The straps were skinny and the back of the dress hung down, showing off her smooth toned skin.
She helped Camille change too, and the young girl had tears in her eyes, "My dress is beautiful. Thankyou SO much.."
Liberty put her hand on her shoulder, "Tonight will be amazing. And it's all about you." And maybe, a little her too. Liberty tried not to gush as she thought about dancing with Jt tonight. She was finally with the guy she fell in love with since he bumped into her the first day they began to work here.
((***)))
"You going to this dance?" Jesse asked Ellie, walking over to her and the sun was down. Patients were going to sleep so Ellie was alone at the desk and the other doctors were getting ready to go to this dance in the cafeteria.
She heard it actually looked great.
"No." she said.
He gazed at the dress hung up behind her on the coat wrack. It was black and sparkly, strapless. "You uh, didn't notice that?" he pointed.
She turned to look over her shoulder, "I don't know who left it. Says my name on it, but I don't want to go."
"Trust me," he said firmly, "You want to go."
She gave him a wierd look and snickered, crossing her arms. "I thought you said you'd stop trying to get me back. I'm over you Jesse, we can be friends but-"
"Don't flatter yourself," he taunted, "I'm going with that hot nurse, Mia."
Ellie stopped, and straightened up. She blushed a bit, "Oh." Then.. "What do you mean then?"
"Go to the ball Cinderellie and figure it out," he said with a grin.
She watched him walk away with a confused look upon her face. She tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at the dress. She was never a dress kinda girl but...what the hell, why not!
(((***)))
"You're a lot hotter than my last prom date." JT told Liberty. She laughed out loud, tightening her arms around his neck as they danced. They did a beautiful job in the gym. Everything was black and gold, and the music was classy. The lights were off for the white strobe light to flicker around the dance.
"Is that a compliment?" Liberty asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Oh ya." he nodded, sure like. She kissed him while smiling and shook her head.
"Keep it up. You might get lucky, JT Yorke." she turned to go get punch, leaving him alone with his mouth hung open.
Dang.
Meanwhile, a ton of males heads turned, even some woman. Manny came down, she wore a silky long gold dress. It tied around the back of her neck and her curves showed off. As she walked down the stairs to join the party, Craig walked up it. He wore a tux, and his hair was styled. He looked good, but she put on her brave face
They stopped in front of another and he swallowed hard, "You look," he was in a trance, his eyes sparkling, "So damn beautiful, Manny."
"Save it" she snapped, her eyes filling with anger and betrayl as she quickly walked around Craig and he shook his head confused. He spun around and grabbed her arm, forcing her to face him. "Let. me . go."
She yanked her arm back and went down the stairs but he chased after her, "Manny!"
"Leave me alone!" she stormed between the dancers, making it hard for Craig to squish by and catch up with her.
Craig got stuck in the middle, and looked around since losing Manny. "Dammit!" he yelled, running a hand through his hair. What the hell happened while he was gone?
Now, on top of the stairs stood Jay. He wore black pants and a button up white shirt with a loose black tie. His hair looked messy, but good messy. He wore a slang over his shoulder to hold up his arm and keep his hand save. He couldn't believe he was doing this
As he walked down the steps, he slowed down, he saw her. Emma. She looked amazing. She wore an ombre dress it was gold at the top, and blended into black at the bottom, and it was all sparkly. Her hair shined with the light reflecting up of, and it was in a nice salon blow out.
His heart pounded. God damn.
She stood with Jt and Liberty, laughing with them until she felt an arm wrap around her, pulling her back into a hard body and Jay's voice huskily whispered into her ear, "Who do you think you are, dressing up without me here?"
Jt and Liberty shared a look. Liberty grabbed his hand and pulled him away smiling. Emma and Jay were left alone. When she turned, he couldn't help but groan. The strapless dress swelled her breasts and her hour glass body sparkled and showed off.
"You're here now." she reminded.
He glared at her dangerously, "Better not of danced with anybody else."
She tried not to laugh and bit her lip, "You're going to dance?"
He looked up, pretending to think, "I'll give you one dance, and then we're spiking the punch, getting drunk," he pulled her hips into his, "And Im taking you home with me tonight."
"You were that guy, weren't you?" Emma teased, leaning back from his kiss and he groaned, "The bad boy? In highschool? Spiking punches, one night stands, had all the girls in the palm of your hand..."
He just grinned and kissed her. She sighed into the kiss, feeling like they haven't kissed in forever. He pulled the back of her neck to kiss her deeper.
((***))
Ellie took a deep breath, coming down the stairs. She couldn't believe she had come. She looked beautiful though. The dress made her emerald green eyes pop and she wore a long black sparkly dress, and she had got her long hair cut into a long bob. She looked classy, beautiful, mature.
Her eyes took notice of someone walking over to her, holding his hands behind his back, and looking quite like Prince Charming. He was Prince Charming. At least hers.
"Se-Sean?" she shook her head, stopping at the last step as he stood on the ground, staring up at her.
She was beautiful.
He looked down, clenched his jaw and clenching his teeth. When he looked up, she saw the torture in his eyes, "I missed you, El."
El. Oh god did she miss that name, and off his lips.
"I miss you too," her voice cracked, looking up with eyes filling up in her eyes, "what I did-"
"Just." he cut her off, looking at her firmly and licked his lips nervously. "Just tell me it's over with him. Then tell me, only if it's true, that you love me too."
Her heart pounded. This was WAY too perfect, too unreal. Did that mean he loved her too?
She took one step down, with help from him, his hand helping hers and rested his other one on her hip. She stared up at him with love in her eyes. "I love you. And I'll be spending every moment making it up to you."
"That's what I was thinking, Nash." he teased, and leaned down, capturing her lips with his passionately. His strong arms pulled her body in his.
(((***)))
Manny shook her head, knowing she had to stay here or Snake would be pissed but she couldn't. Craig again had sought her out and was coming her way. She turned and went through the first door she saw. She was sent into an empty dark hall and her heels clicked as she tried to storm off with tears running down her cheeks.
She knew it was too good to be true. For a guy, like Craig, to fall inlove with a girl like her. A wild girl like her who couldn't be able to really tame a heart right? She was only 'fun'. An easy heart break.
"MANNY!" he yelled, slamming the door open and running after her. Since she was in heels, he caught up fast and blocked her from leaving. "Tell me what I did!"
SLAP!
His mouth fell, his face slowly turning back to look at her and cheek burning.
"Who was it Craig!?" she spat and he tried to whipe the tears that fell down her cheeks.
"what?" he asked, beyond confused.
She backed away from his touch like fire, "The girl, the girl you fucked in your office!"
He looked struck by a bus. "M-Man.." he couldn't even finish that sentence as realization came to him, "Ashley." he said out loud. His eyes widened when Manny thought he was answering here, "no, no, no." he tried to grab her and explain, "Ashley tried but I said no!"
"Before or after she swung her bra off!?" Manny shouted, not believing this and laughed in disbelief, "I should of known a guy like you couldn't really love a girl like me."
"Yes! Yes I could!" he said desperately, bending to her eye level and cupped her face. She shut her eyes painfully, not wanting to fall for those puppy eyes, "I'm in love with Manny! You're the one! She is NOTHING, we did NOTHING!"
She opened her eyes slowly, looking at him skeptically. He looked so sincere, sounded so honest. She's had too many broken hearts to believe though. "I need some time." she whispered.
He felt stabbed in the heart, but he understood she probably felt worse, thinking he would do this too her. He numbly nodded, but still kissed her. She whimpered into the kiss and he kissed harder until she shoved him away and ran off. He stood there, heartbroken.
This wasn't fair
((((***)))
Liberty and JT were laughing with their friends, Emma and Jay were drinking their punch beside them, smiling too. Ellie and Sean had just come over when Snake too came over.
"Cheif," joked Jt, "Bout time you showed up!"
"Yea, look how well we did" Liberty said, grinning around the dance and at all the doctors and patients having a good time.
Emma noticed something off about Snake, and damn she admit but she wondered what and was concerned. He could barely look them in the eye, and the only one he could was Liberty. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Snake dug his hands into his white coat pockets before locking eyes with Liberty. "Danny's heart failed. He had a stroke. He was prone to blood clots and a clot had formed on his sutures and it traveled to his brain. Your mother is here, she's just...she's in the waiting room."
Everyones eyes widened, and slowly drifted to Liberty.
Liberty looked...blank. It was scary. "Liberty." whispered Jt, putting his hand on her arm to balance her when she stumbled a bit
She giggled a bit, looking at all of them, "Anyone else hot? I feel so hot. It's hot in here."
"Lib-"
"Oh my god, my brothers dead." she said, staring foward at nothing before she shook her head and looked around. Before they knew it, she had picked up her dress and ran.
"Liberty!" Jt went to chase her
(Avril- slipped away)
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere you're not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same no..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that I found it won't be the same oh...
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you
