Lies, Love, and Deception {Grey's Anatomy} (On Hold)

Bring the Pain

River POV

Okay, yeah, some days I tend to not be able to sleep, thankfully George was also having one of those days, we were both missing loved ones. I was working on getting some time off to go visit my dad and Mark, especially because dad has three new interns while his previous ones (although he got two back) have not said anything as they wanted to see it happen to somebody other than them, and I really wanted to see Mark. I missed him and wanted to see him in person. Suddenly we faintly hear Izzie scream, "Seriously?!" along with her footsteps that barged into George's room and we were ordered to move over. Not that much later, Meredith is barging in, "Seriously!!" and gets onto my side of the bed, George and I were now sandwiched between them.

"This is a very small bed," George stated.

"I look fantastic. I shaved my legs!" Izzie complained.

"He's a brain surgeon! How can he be so brainless?" Meredith complains back.

"Hello? Seriously?" Izzie spoke.

"Seriously," Meredith echoed.

"Do you have to say 'seriously' too?" George quietly asked. I shook my head no and looked at the two girls, "Izzie you were a model, of course you look fantastic, Alex is probably just nervous that he will fuck up something, my fiancée was the same way. Meredith, Derek is just an idiot who married that," I said to them both when the power then goes out.

At the beginning of rounds, Cristina convinced Bailey to let her start work again; Alex gave Izzie attitude which she wasn't putting up with when she tried to ask about last night. "I'm not talking to him right now, maybe he'll come around," she told me and I nodded. She had been asking advice about what I did but I had to tell her that Alex and my fiancée might've been man whores but my fiancée was pretty much smitten with me from the start, he almost caused a riot at the hospital he was at as a result of him not flirting as much. Alex on the other hand, was highly stubborn and didn't want to talk things out. It didn't really help the situation when we were introduced to Henry Lamott who happened to watching porn to help with his pain as he couldn't take any pain killers.

Cristina, Izzie, Meredith and I all watched the screen, we all tilted our heads at the same time, "That does not look comfortable," Cristina said.

"Trust me. It's not," Meredith said. The three of us looked at her, jaw dropped. Izzie was laughing after we got kicked out of the room, "Well damn Meredith, didn't know you were that kinky," I said and she blushed as the others came out.

I got assigned to the pit with Alex and George and we were immediately handed a case. Pete Willoughby, the patient, had a gunshot wound to his chest, "Damn this hurts. They never tell you in the movies how much it hurts to get shot," Well sorry to tell you buddy, the ones in movies are fake. George and Alex were arguing on over who will work with him and I stepped in, "Knock it off, we have a patient in pain, and police are watching, we don't need to know who's is bigger," I hissed out. Then I turned to nurse, "Page Dr. Burke please," I told her in a softer tone.

The three of us soon got Pete into the elevator when Izzie was brought up, George was defending her, I wasn't because it's something that should be worked out on their own. George and even Pete went on about how women had expectations and when they don't reach them, George had to hear about it. Suddenly there was a loud noise and a jolt, and then we were surrounded by darkness. "Dude, we're not moving," Alex stupidly said.

"Really? You think?" George and I both said.

Alex tried to open the doors while George was trying to get somebody to answer him with the alarm button although the power's out so we didn't know if that was going to work or not. "Guys," I said as Pete groans, "His blood pressures dropping," I told them. We worked on trying to get his blood pressure stable the best we could when the doors finally opened and Bailey stuck her head in, "What did you three do?" she questioned like we caused the power outage. "Nothing," all three of us said. We also explained to Burke how bad Pete was doing and how bad his breathing has gotten. I was trying to keep Pete calm as we had to intubate him as Burke ran off for more supplies. When Burke had come back, he confirmed what the three of us were thinking, we have do surgery in the elevator. We started prepping and Alex took over for the breathing while George and I cleaned up what we could.

When Alex froze, he was handed the breathing duty again when, surprisingly, George took over. I knew he was nervous so I stepped in to keep him calm. "Poor George. He doesn't always have the steadiest hands," we heard Izzie say. "He can hear you," Bailey said.

"Just keep ignoring them, listen for Burke," I told him. He kept only responding to me and Burke and successfully did not cut anything he wasn't supposed too. They keep communicating back and forth, me putting my input sometimes. We kept doing this until we heard, "O'Malley you just flew solo," from Burke. He gets out so the firefighters could do their job and get us out, "Thank you," he said to me. I nodded in response as he got more congratulations. He and I even got handshakes from the police officers who came with him, George wanted people to know that I did help keep him concentrated.

Meredith had asked me to come with her to Joe's in case Derek doesn't show up. She said her mom had remembered she was grown up for a little bit and that she may have had a possible thing for the Chief. The rest soon join us at the bar counter, we were trying to cheer her up while she waited for an answer, "He's not coming. You don't think he's coming," she says to us.

"He might come," Izzie said.

"Yeah. You never know," Cristina added.

"He's definitely coming," George said only to get nudged by Izzie, "Ow, Do you want her doing tequila shots all night? I'll be the one cleaning up the vomit. Besides, I touched a heart today, Porn-y," he turned to Cristina at the last word. "Mark said, if he doesn't show up you can rant to him about how much of an idiot he is," I whispered to her, "My dad might join, he's with him right now," I added. Cristina and Meredith were very surprised finding out who my dad was and then realized, I do have times where I act like him.
