"Gianna, don't say that, everything is going to be fine! Just enjoy what we were rewarded!" Exclaimed her husband.
"I don't know, Chris, it just doesn't feel right."
"What doesn't feel right?"
"Everything, Chris!" Gianna stood up, "the medal, the miracle, this lie!"
"Gianna, nobody will ever know," Chris stood up and put Gianna's hands into his.
"I can't do this Chris, I never asked for this."
"But I did it for you and I."
"No, Chris, you need to learn to let go."
"What do you mean?"
"I could have died, but I didn't for some magical reason that involved you. And if I had died, I would have died happily knowing that I served for my country, but because of this lie, I will have to live a long life with guilt. I don't think I can live like this," Gianna lets go of Chris's hands.
"Gianna-"
"Plus, what are we going to do when they find out?"
"They don't have to."
"You're right, Chris, that's why I'm running away."
"Gianna, I did this for you."
"No, Chris, you did it for yourself."
"Gianna," Chris pleaded.
"You should do the same," Gianna's eyes begin to fill up with tears, "Goodbye Chris."
"Is the price I need to pay?" he mutters to himself.
-71 Years Later-
"Poor child, so young and innocent," Gianna said as she rubbed Jessica's forehead.
"Knock, knock. Can I come in?" asked Jessica's grandfather.
"Of course come in."
"How is she doing?"
"She is getting better and is currently sleeping," Giana smiled.
"Well, she's a strong girl."
"Yes, she is."
"So, how much longer do you think she will be here?"
Gianna sighs, "I think with the right care and medication, I say about three days or so."
The man's eyes filled with glee.
"Well, I will leave you two here."
The man smiles and looks back at Jessica
"Povero," Gianna mutters to herself.
"Gianna!" Says her co-worker Nancy
"Yes?"
"Hurry take this to room 357. There is a problem with another patient and they need my help!" The nurse quickly hands a tray of hospital food onto Gianna's hands.
"Okay?"
Gianna walks to the room and sees an injured man watching the news.
"Mr. DenVy?"
"Yes," he gave a weak smile and nodded.
"I brought you your food."
"I'm not hungry."
Gianna walks over to the man, "Have you eaten anything?"
"No."
"Okay then you have to eat."
"No please, I'm not hungry."
"Listen, unless you want to see your daughter soon, I suggest you eat."
The man looks into her eyes and thinks, "What did you bring me?"
Gianna smiles, "Jell-O, salad, and water."
"Just the salad and water."
"Okay," Gianna begins to feed him the food until he finishes it all.
"Thank you, you have been very kind."
"My pleasure."
Gianna begins to clean up while the man watches the news.
"Is there anything I can attend you with?" She asks.
"No, thank you."
"Okay."
"You tired?"
"Yeah, I have been working here since six in the morning."
"Is Jessica your other patient?"
"Yes."
"I love her so much."
"I can see why, she is a very smart girl."
"Yes, she is, I just cant wait until I get out of here, so I can hold her in my arms again."
"You just have to have hope." Gianna smiles.
"You have a very pretty smile."
"Oh, thank you." Gianna looks away not letting him see her face.
"Gianna, can you take my shift for the rest of the afternoon?" Asks Nancy.
"I guess, but who is going to take my shift?"
"I'll call Phoebe."
"Let me inform other patients then."
"Okay."
Gianna nods and walks back to Jessica's room.
"Is everything alright in here?" Gianna asks Jessica's grandfather
"Oh yes! I was just reading her favourite book to her."
"What's the book called?"
"Percy Jackson."
"Percy Jackson? I've never heard of it."
"Me neither until she brought it home from school." Both of them chuckle
"Well, I just came to inform you that another nurse will be coming in."
"Okay, thank you."
"No problem."
Gianna walks back the man's room, "I guess I'll be your nurse for the rest of the day."
"Yeah."
"I just need to see the information about you."
Gianna picks up the file and begins to read it.
"How is your rib cage?"
"Much better."
"Okay, I will be right back with a syringe to inject your medicine."
As Gianna was walking out she bumps into young man.
"Oh, sorry."
"No problem," said the man.
"Are you here to visit Mr. DenVy?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Gianna nods and walks away.
He looks so familiar.
"Hey Grey!" Greeted the man.
"What's up Jason."
"Nothing, how have you been?"
"Wonderful," Grey answered with sarcasm in his tone.
"Okay? I think?"
Grey chuckled a long with Gianna.
"Anyways, do you know when you will be able to leave?"
"No, not yet."
"That sucks."
"Yeah," sighed Grey.
"Okay, I need you to give me your left arm," Gianna said
Gianna injects the medicine into his I.V.
"So, when do you think he will be able to leave?" Asked Jason.
Gianna thought for a moment, "In about two days or so," Gianna answered.
"And what about Jessica?"
"Well, she is suffering a little bit of emotional distress and I say in about three days."
"That's great!" cheered Jason.
"What is your name?"
"Jason ," he smiled.
"Are you family with Mr. DenVy?"
"Oh, no, I'm just a really close friend."
"How did you guys meet?"
"Same school, I was one of those outcast kids."
"So, that's when Mr. DenVy came to the rescue?"
"Yeah, you can say it like that. This man helped me through some pretty tough times especially when I was adopted, it was hard settling into a new home."
"If I may ask, have you ever met your biological parents?"
"No and don't plant on it."
-After Work-
"Hey Gianna!" Greeted Alex.
"Oh no," Gianna muttered to herself.
"Ready to go?"
"Smile for me." She commanded.
"What? Why?" Alex questioned.
"Just do it!"
Alex gives a weak smile.
"No, an actual smile!" Gianna commanded.
Alex gives another smile.
They have the same smile!
"I'm going to need you to come to the hospital tomorrow!"
