Love Beyond Life

Chapter 1: Last Day

P.O.V Ally

Those days were so busy, I had seen thousands of patients of all types, younger or older, men and women, extremely sick or simple fractures.

- Dr. Brooke, we have the x-ray of the patient in room 13.

I watched the x-ray in front of me and smiled.

- You can bandage it and send it home.

The nurse left and soon my co-worker, Hailee pulled me to the patient room and I saw an old man, Mr.  Hudson.

- Female doctor...

- Yes Mr Hudson?

- Will you marry me?.

- What a privilege, if so.

I smiled weakly and looked at Hailee who was laughing at the situation as we left the room and walked down the corridors of the Hospital.

- What do I do with your fiance?.

- More morphine and medicine.

- You should go home and rest.

- Hailee, I don't feel like going home yet, my patients need me and the position of Supervisor too.

- You would win this position even if you didn't want to.

- Liam wants that job too.
- But you're better.

Hailee went into the living room and my cell phone rang in my pocket, it was my older brother Brandon.

- Hey Ally

- Hi Brandon.

- So, are you coming to dinner?

- Of course, I get there at 20h

- It's already 8:14.

- Did I say 20h?  I meant 9:00.

- Great, we'll have a visit.

- Visit is it?  Who?

- A girl, friend of a friend of mine.

- No more dating in the dark!

- Which is!  She sounded nice from what she said.

- You haven't even met her?

- Not directly.

- Oh no...

- Just come, me and your nieces miss you.

- Okay, see you later.

I continued walking down the hall and saw Liam himself being attacked by the patients in the psychiatric ward, they were fighting for control until I injected a sedative in the patient who soon went limp in Liam's arms.

- I didn't have to.

- You're welcome.

I soon saw our boss approach and look at me and Liam.

- There's surgery in room 315. Which one of you should I send there?

- I will.

Liam and I responded together and our boss looked at us thoughtfully.

- How long have you been here?

- 13 hours.

Liam answered first.  I was quiet for a while until my boss glared at me.

- 27 hours.

- Come on, Liam.

I sighed in disappointment and turned away from my boss walking down the hall.

- Allyson waits.

- Yes?

- I've already made my decision.  The position of supervisor is yours.

- Oh dear, really?

- You deserve.

I jumped up and hugged my boss who cleared his throat and then I thought about letting him go.

- I'll start now...

- Dr. Brooke, I just want you to do one thing.

- Which?

- Go home.

- But sir...

- Go rest, stay with your family.

- Allright Sir.

- Once again congratulations...

- Thanks.

I packed my things and headed for the elevator, but soon a nurse held the door.

- Dr. Brooke, can you do a favor quickly?

- Sure.

The little favor lasted almost 30 minutes, a surgery for a young man who was shot.  I hurried down to the parking lot while my cell phone vibrated non-stop with Brandon's messages, bumping into Liam.

- Congratulations on the job.

- Liam look...

- You deserved it, me going to New York is not so bad.

We got in our cars and got out of the hospital, it started to rain that night and I could barely see the dark and rainy road.  My cell phone rang and I saw Brandon's picture on the display.
- Brandon, I'm coming...

- No hurry, your partner hasn't arrived yet either.

- Not punctual?  You already lost a point with me.

- Don't be unfair... Are you coming?

- Yes. By the way, I won the position at the hospital, I'm staying in Miami.

- My congratulations sister!  Let's celebrate with good wine.

- See you in 10 minutes.

I turned off my cell phone and turned up the sound that played "Sweet Child O Mine" but in a flash a truck appeared in front of me and....
