A Best Friend's Betrayal

Miranda's Rights....

Miranda woke up panicking because Tuck wasn't in her arms. "Tuc-.." He was laying at the foot of Ben's bed. "He said you move too much in your sleep and came and got in the bed with me", Ben said. 

"How are you feeling Benjamin?", she touched his forehead.

"I'm feeling fine Miranda, just a little tired that's all. Come here", Ben said holding out his arms to her. 

"Ben I'm scared for you", she whined into his chest as she buried her face in it. "I know Miranda, but I'm goo-...."

"Bennn?", she pulled away from his hug and looked at him then he started seizing again. "SHIT BENJAMIN!", she yelled for help, grabbed Tuck out of the way, then grabbed the Lorazepam from the cart in the room and injected him with it. 

"Shouldn't we wait for a doctor", James said walking in with 2 cups of coffee.

"I am a doctor!", Miranda said through her teeth upset as she held him down until he stopped seizing.

"Yeah, but you're not his doctor."

Ben finally stopped. 

"Get the hell out!", Miranda said to James and he sat the coffee down and walked out. Miranda looked at Ben and then at the coffee and hit the coffee across the room and shocked everyone working on Ben. "RUN A TOXICOLOGY TEST NOW!", she screamed.

"Miranda he's already been cleared for any toxins."

"I said RUN IT NOW!"

Once the lab tech came in the room and finished drawing Ben's blood Miranda went for a walk to calm down. She hit the elevator button going down and waited for it to open.

The doors opened and Miranda walked in straight to the back of the elevator with her head down inhaling hard. The elevator instantly came to a sudden stop and she looked up and it was Derek stopping the elevator. "Let it out!" And Miranda almost hyperventilated. "Good?" She nodded yes, but said no.

Derek walked over to Miranda and touched her shoulder, "We're going to figure it out okay?"

"Okay", she said and he walked back to the buttons starting the elevators back and then got off on his floor. 

Miranda leaned back against the elevator wall closing her eyes, taking a deep breath and the doors closed. She had no idea that someone else had walked into the elevator before the doors closed and definitely didn't know that it was James. 

The elevator all of a sudden stopped again, but this time the power was out and the generators hadn't kicked in yet. It was pitch black in the elevator and Miranda felt around until she got to the buttons. Then pressing around until she heard the call button for help. "Hello!...Hello!", she said. "Great!"

James was still in the elevator and she had no idea because she couldn't see him or he wasn't making any noise. He would follow the scent of her perfume as she moved around in the elevator, inhaling it.

Miranda felt some type of air against her neck and she rubbed it, shrugging her shoulder and moved away. She was standing in the middle of the elevator again closing her eyes trying to relax and go back to Ben. Now James was standing right in front of her wishing he could see her in the light.

The elevator jerked and he almost fell onto Miranda, but caught himself moving back and went and stood in the corner and then the lights cut on and the doors immediately opened. Miranda darted out, "What the hell?", Miranda said to the engineer. "Move I have to go."

Then James walked out watching Miranda go down the hall.

"Where is his toxicology report at?", Miranda said coming back into the room. "Benjamin are you okay?", she sat down on the bed next to him. "I'm fine Miranda, what happened?"
