(I wrote a little story for two of the best Mocospace Role Play surgeons, Melody Grey aka ambitious.surgeon and Etro Grace the-blunt-doctor. Also including Melody's man Asura aka revenant- I'm not the best at writing stories like my cousin but this is my first attempt at writing anything.)
mitis-daemonium is the best writer ever.
Her first day in Med-School, was the most awkward day in her entire life.
Grey walked into the classroom and sat down beside this girl who seemed very bored with her own little existance, placing her books down upon the table she sat down slowly not wanting to disturb the girl from her distant look into her own little world. The girl finally broke out of her daze and looked over at Grey for a moment before laughing. Finding this rather insulting Grey demanded to know why she had started laughing at her, it was annoying in a way. The girl smiled and offered her left hand which hand been previously propping her head up during her dream, “I’m Etro Grace, and you must be one of those girls who strive for nothing but all A’s.”
These were the first words that started their friendship.
Christmas carols were being cheerfully sung by the chior and it’s fellowship members at Nine Heights Church of Christ. Grey and Etro stood side-by-side like always simply making fun of the eldery women’s apparel, the flashy adornments upon their hats and how rudely some of the younger teenaged girls were dressed. The eruptions of giggles quickly ceased as the last song hand come to an end and the prayer had begun, as usual, Grey and Etro sneaked out before everyone else. “That was refreshing, I haven’t been to church in forever.” said Etro, Grey smiled and shook her head. “I doubt I’m missing anything, thanks for coming with me.” The snow had started to fall once again wrapping the town in a thick blanket of luminescent white-gold. The two women stood on the corner attempting to hail a taxi, with little luck they decided to walk home. After saying their ‘goodbyes’ they parted ways. Grey looked at her phone noticing she had received a text from Asura, she smiled brightly seeing his name on the screen, she decided to wait and read it when she got home, it was getting colder every minute. A few blocks down from the church was the Nine Heights Hospital where Grey worked, and owned, she stopped in front of the building admiring the Christmas decor that had been placed on it earlier this week. Suddenly, her ears picked up the shrill scream of a woman, her eyes quickly scanned the perimeter until they saw two people at the front entrance.
And neither one of them seemed happy.
Grey made her way over to the them to see if she could help with the problem, little did she know she was walking into trouble. The woman was holding something shiny in her hands and pointing it at the boy in front of her, a gun? This made Grey’s heart stop as well as her common sense, realizing her hospital, and a human’s life was in danger, Grey rushed over to the man and pushed him down right before the gun fired. Karma, from her laughing at people in church, had finally kicked in...
She woke up to the sound of a heart monitor beeping, that was even more annoying than the Christmas carols.
It was sheer luck that Etro hadn’t made it home yet, Grey could feel a warm hand against her right cheek and soft murmurs telling her to get some rest, her eyes fluttered, her head hurt horribly. What happened?
Etro paced outside the ICU they were keeping Grey in, her best friend, a patient within her own hospital, “the irony.” thought Etro. She finally realized she had chewed on her finger enough to make it raw, the replay of the shooting continuously playing in her mind with such a torturous manner. “That damn bitch…”
The woman had realized the mistake she had made and committed suicide before the cops arrived.
Etro wish they had been quicker so the woman didn’t have time to die and get away with the crime she just committed. Death wasn’t right either but at least she knew the woman was going to suffer in hell either way. A cringe took over her body remembering the young man’s face seeing Grey take the hit for him, his own mother tried to kill him. She watched the young man stare inside the glass at the seemingly different woman lying in so still, her head bandaged, breathing only by a machine, his hero shot down by his other hero, he didn’t even know her name.
Grey’s phone started ringing, Etro jumped feeling the vibration’s against her leg, she lifted the small phone out of her pocket and looked at the screen. ‘Asura’ it read, of course, nobody had told him what had happened. After a moment of hesitation, Etro answered the phone and began to tell the story.
“Melody’s gonna be alright right?! Is she alive? I’m on my way!”
Etro had no time to answer any of his questions before he hung up, his voice seemed to falter at the end of his sentence. She knew he wouldn’t be happy when he got here and saw that other boy staring at his woman. She knew he would blame him for Grey’s condition, she had to get him away for his own good.
“Sir, I’m doctor Grace, I know Dr. Grey there saved your life and you’d probably love to make sure she had a wonderful recovery and thank her but right now, I think it’s best you go away for a bit...”
He tilted his head slighly. “But she..but why?” he asked sadly, wondering briefly if she knew how upset this dramatic nigh had made him. His eyes fixed on her, and it was like she was seeing Grey’s pleading face all over again, the alive Grey, not the half dead one. “Because, her fiance will be here momentarily and isn’t fond of strangers, I think it would be best if you gave them some room..”
“She was getting married?!” he asked frantically. She blinked, working hard to keep the tears from falling. His hands clenched onto his hair theatrically and headed for the exit now knowing his mother would be causing someone else pain. Tears fell down her face finally, this shouldn’t have happend.
“Etro, how is she?”
And there she was, giving him that look —the one that made you realize that life will never be the same again. Asura lost control of his legs as they buckled beneath him, he fell into a chair breathing heavily, he couldn’t lose her..he just couldn’t. His head fell into his hands trying to hold back tears. “Melody…”
She couldn’t be around him, she hated him truly, he didn’t deserve Grey, she quickly left to go outside and cry, his presence made her sick to her stomach.
Asura shook his head, sighing audibly. He locked his eyes onto Grey’s limp body, he rose to his feet and walked into the room. His whole body trembled, his hand tenderly reached out to try and take hers, he was scared that the slightest touch would cause something to happen, cause her to break or turn to dust. His eyes watered, his lips struggled. “M-Melody, Melody Grey...I refuse to let you leave me alone in this world..you’ve got to make it through this. Please baby, I love you, and you promised we would have a family and live out in the country one day. You can’t leave me here alone, I wouldn’t make it in this world alone..baby wake up….for me..”
The monitor sounded as she began to flatline, doctors started to fill the room quickly as well as Etro.
He ran his hands through his hair biting his lower lip angrily. He had killed her….
The doctors brought her back finally after battling for ten minutes to save her. Dr. Rauland pulled Etro and Asura aside to speak to them privately, Grey would need to have an impossible miracle, right frontal lobe removal. “Let me be the other side of the coin, to give her a chance that I never had. My dad never believed in me, her family never believend in anthing she accomplished. I want to die to save the only friend and family I ever had, the only one that kept me happy and sane enough to live on and push through life. Take that piece of my brain..don’t let her live like a vegetable. Take any part that you need to save her!” Etro demanded this, she was the best neurosurgeon in the world almost, she wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Dr. Rauland shook his head not knowing how any of it was possible. Several hours passed as Etro took Rauland through the surgery that would need to be performed, it would take many sutures so that the brain could attach itself together in due time. This would be the surgery of the century.
She smiled at the thought that she would be saving her friend as the anesthesia mask was placed on her face. The surgery was a success, Etro’s brain piece was being rushed to Grey’s OR. But this is my last chance, really, she realized. If I don’t do this now, my friend will die.
The blissful sleep was a thoughtful one, she saw all of her family, and they seemed proud of her. Why now?
“I’m sorry Etro, I was a terrible father but now we can be a happy family once again, I swear to you, I’ve always been proud of you.”
He opened his mouth, his eyes looked glazed and rather tired. “She’s fine, we re-attached the donor piece to her’s, we’ll need routine check ups and antibiotics to make sure the body doesn’t treat the new piece as an infection. But, I’m sure she’ll be able to life a normal life.” Asura breathed a sigh of relief at the news the doctor had given him. “What about Etro?”
“Etro, didn’t make it. I’m sorry.” Dr. Rauland’s voice trailed off sadly.
Grey woke up nearly eight hours later, her head still hurt, but her first sight was Asura’s face, She felt her cheeks flush like they always did when he came around, her hand slowly reached up to touch his face. “My love...I missed you.” she attempted to smile at him but it was a rather weak smile. Asura kissed the tip of her nose tenderly, he didn’t know how to tell her the news of Etro’s death, he would let Rauland tell her. It was the only way.
Grey’s eyes opened quickly as she began looking around slowly looking for the person that called her name, the room was dimmed slightly, Asura was curled up in the recliner beside the bed fast asleep. She sighed softly closing her eyes rather slowly, she was exhausted mentally and physically.
The next morning Dr. Rauland gave the news to Grey, she felt her heart fall down out of place, she clenched her chest tightly as she gasped for air, this was a joke! How could they do this to her just after what had happened? Etro was at work, she had to be, she had to, didn’t she?! “Somebody call her!! CALL HER DAMN CELLPHONE!!! PAGE HER!!! NOW DAMN IT!!!!” her eyes filled up completely with tears, so full they cascaded down her cheeks like a waterfall being born, a stabbing feeling took over her heart. Her best friend was dead, why Etro, why?
~“Quit crying you kill joy, I saved your damn life, be greatful.”~
