Sorry it took a while to upload this chapter, enjoy!
Right after talking with Lissa Rosalie went straight to the wing she was assigned to. I seemed pretty friendly in this life, I was greeting everyone with a smile.
She was a little confused at first when she walked into the wing, she usually didn't come to this side of the hospital, it was for severely injured patients.
She walks to the main desk in that wing and laid her clipboard on the table.
"Hi, I've been assigned to nurse this wing." she says.
Before the woman behind the desk could reply a deep voice came from behind her," I thought Lissa was going to nurse this wing."
Rosalie jumps slightly startled and turns to face the man. He had dark black hair and blue eyes, a cocky smile but he seemed fairly friendly although sort of confused at the same time.
'Christian!' I yell from inside Rosalie's head.
"Oh well we decided to switch wings I hope that's okay." Rosalie replies kindly.
Christian didn't seem shocked to see Rosalie so Lissa probably already told him or he's already seen her she just hasn't seen him yet.
He nods and sticks out his hand," Dr. Ozera."
She smiles and shakes his hand," Rosalie," she states.
"Well come with me and I'll tell you about the patients." she nods and turns around to retrieve her clipboard.
When she turns back around Christian has already started walking in the opposite direction. Rosalie quickly catches up with him.
"So are you knew? You look quite young to be a nurse." Rosalie takes in a shaky breathe and quickly composes herself.
Wait? Isn't she seventeen? How did she get away with being a nurse isn't there supposed to be a certain age requirement.
My questions are quickly answered with a peak in her mind.
I wasn't wrong, she is seventeen. She filled out her application so that she was supposedly twenty-four. But she wanted to do something for the country so bad. The least she could to was nurse wounded soldiers back to health so that's what she went for.
If anyone found out she could get kicked out the The Army Nurse Corps or worse.
She lets out an awkward laugh," Well thank you but I am only twenty-four not that young."
Christian didn't buy it I could tell but he nodded anyways," You could pass for a teen. Oh well, so are you knew? I haven't seen you around."
Rosalie nodded thankful for the change in conversation but still not wanting to lie," Yes, I was just transferred in from a nearby clinic."
"Okay, well we should talk about the patients now." Rosalie nods in agreement.
"Most of the patients are severely injured. They aren't exactly on the brink of death but I warn you that at any minute someones condition can rapidly deteriorate." Christian says.
Rosalie nods,"Where did they come from, I haven't heard much of the news lately."
"Battle of Peleliu, we had 8,010 wounded soldiers we only received a good hundred of them."
Rosalie was confused at what moment did hundreds of soldiers arrive here? She would have noticed a bunch of patients coming in but she hadn't.
"When where they transported here?" she asks.
"Last night." he replies.
Oh, well that makes sense she was at home.
"Okay well I should make my rounds now."
A smirk appears on his face, he knows who's the first person on the list for her to check.
"Yes, well I'll leave you to it." he says turning around to leave.
"Oh wait I forgot!", he whips back around," I'm going to need you to spend more time with a particular patient."
"Umm, why?" Rosalie asks confused.
"Well he's the most severely injured and a close personal friend of mine so I would appreciate it if you kept an eye on him." he says.
"Oh okay, which patient?" she asks.
"Belikov." he says tapping on the clipboard in her hands," first name on the list."
Rosalie nods," What happened to him?" she asks.
Christian sighs shoving his hands in his pockets," He got severe burns all over his body, but I'm not particularly worried, he heals fast."
"Okay, well I'll go check on him right now." she says smiling.
"Thank you." he says as he walks down the hallways.
Rosalie taps her nails nervously on the clipboard, she didn't want to seem cowardly that's why she took this job but she was scared. If someone was really injured she knew there was a chance she'd haul ass to the bathroom and puke.
Taking a deep breath she walks down the corridor to the room where Christian friend is staying.
She knocks twice and pushed open the door.
Well at least she didn't feel like throwing up. He was completely bandaged up.
Completely, like head to toe.
The only skin you could see was his eyes, nose, and mouth. And that was only because there was cut outs in the cast there.
She could see his familiar deep brown eyes staring at her and how they visibly widened when they took her in.
She shuts the door behind her and walks closer smiling," Hello I'm Rosalie and I'm going to be your nurse until you recover."
He didn't say anything, what did she expect for him to carry on a full conversation with her? His lips were open so he could talk but the skin around his mouth was burned so it must hurt like a bitch to move them.
She sets the clipboard down on the nightstand beside his bed. She walks towards the end of his bed and picks up his clipboard which shows all his basic information.
Dimitri, she read.
"Well Dimitri how are you feeling?" she asks sitting in the chair beside his bed.
He doesn't reply.
Damn it this is why Rosalie should have just waited till she was a bit older so she could have learned basic nursing and got into The Army Nurse Corps without it being illegal she thought.
"Okay how about this blink once for a yes and twice for a no, are you feeling okay?" she asks again.
He blinks once.
She laughs quietly," Well good enough for a person who got severe burns all over their body right?"
He laughs. Well she thinks he does because his body starts to shake is if he were laughing but no noise came out.
"Okay, are you thirsty?" she asks.
He blinks once.
She smiles and grabs the glass of water from beside his bed.
"Okay let's see how we can do this." She lays a hand on his arm and slowly pulls him into a sitting position. He must have been doing most of the work because she barely broke a sweat lifting him up.
She brought the glass of water up to his lips and pushes the straw into his mouth. He sucks on the straw to get some water out but then he grunts and releases the straw.
"Hey are you okay?" she asks concerned.
He looks at her and blinks once.
"Okay, let's try that again." she says pushing the straw back into his mouth.
He sucks on the straw again and this time he's successful. Rosalie studies him as he drinks water. He's almost completely covered but he looks so familiar. His eyes, his lips.
She can't place it but he looks familiar.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" she asks.
His eyes, which shut close when drinking the water, snap open.
He blinks twice immediately.
"Oh, it just you look so fam-"
He blinks twice again.
She sighs," Are you su-"
He blinks twice again.
"Okay." she says in a defeated voice. He drops the straw out of his mouth and Rosalie takes that as a sign that he's done.
She sets the glass on the table.
And then the scenery changes.
As if it were a montage she sees a bunch of memories one after another.
Rosalie continuing to nurse Dimitri back to health. They start to grow closer. He gets control of his lips and they start talking. He tells her about the battle. And she tells him about her life. He seems fascinated and likes to hear stories from her
The scenery changes again and Rosalie is sitting in a chair and Dimitri is sitting up in his bed. Christian is standing in front of Dimitri with scissors.
It looks like Dimitri is getting his bandages off.
Christian cuts a piece near the top of his head and slowly starts unwrapping.
Christian was right, Rosalie thought, it only took Dimitri a month and he's already healed enough to remove the bandages.
She was sitting behind Dimitri. She said she wanted to see him after the bandages were off.
Christian continues to unwrap and he's finally made it to Dimitri's neck. His hair must have grown a lot in the past month it stopped a little above his shoulders.
He keeps unwrapping and by now Christian had made it to half his chest.
He stops," Um- Rosalie could you leave? Dimitri isn't exactly decent under these bandages."
Rosalie blushes she knows what he means when he says that Dimitri isn't decent.
She nods and quickly leaves the room.
She's been pacing outside the door for at least an hour now. Filled with excitement to finally see the guy she's grown so close over the past month.
Christian eventually comes out of the room, "Okay you ready to see him?"
Rosalie nods and walks in the room Christian shuts the door behind her. She finally sees him.
Well his back.
He was staring out the window with his hands in his pockets. No wonder it took like an hour. He was showered and his hair was short so he probably cut it in here.
He was really tall. He had on a light blue short sleeve dress shirt and black slacks.
Rosalie didn't know if he felt anything romantic towards her but she grew to like him a lot. He was the only person she could actually relate to, he knew her so well as if he's known her all her life.
Today was her day off but she insisted she come in to see Dimitri out of the bandages. Since she wasn't working she was dressed in street clothes. She made sure to look better than usual. She had on a green dress that had small pink and white flowers on it, the dress had a triangular cut out on the top. She paired the dress with red mary janes and a black purse. She did her makeup and hair like she usually does red lipstick and curled hair.[ For outfit type in /2011/11/obsession-alert-40s-and-50s-style google it the first link!]
She was hopping that the new look would catch Dimitri's eyes and it did. His eyes bulged out the minute he saw her walk in the room.
But now she wanted more than anything for him to turn around.
And he did.
She took in a shaky breathe.
He smiled at her but she didn't return it.
She knows him. Now more than anything else she knows him from somewhere.
He looks so familiar, the brown hair, the chocolate eyes, the tall frame. Him.
And just like that memories flash before her eyes.
Them playing by the sea on an island.
Them laughing while feeding the birds at a park.
The kissing in the woods when they know they were supposed to be picking berries.
She blinks and looks up Dimitri is standing right in front of her holding her face in his hands.
"Roza." he whispers.
And the last image flashes behind her eyes.
The image of them holding each other in heaven.
And then it all goes black.
Now I'm expecting to wake up again, back in Dimitri's arms.
What I wasn't expecting was to be thrown back into another life.
And certainly not this one.
I blink and look up.
A man is standing in front of me. He's so beautiful probably one of the most beautiful men I've seen. But his beauty, there's something wrong about it.
It's that type of beauty where it's so blinding you want to look away.
The body I'm in scolds herself. She knows she's not supposed to be thinking of beauty.
Beauty doesn't matter.
She looks around and sees grass.
It's the greenest grass I've ever seen. Greener than the lawns back home, and they were pretty green considering the fact we lived in a gated community and they fined you if your grass wasn't green enough.
She sighs and looks back at the man.
She was sitting on the grass and was about to get up when he holds out a hand to her," Need a hand?" he asks.
She smiles and takes it.
He pulls her up to her feet smiling. It's almost creepy.
She smiles back though and says something that I really wasn't expecting.
"Thank you Lucifer."
