Gabriella pov
Walking inside from the circuit training I have only one plan and thats to go and get some food as I feel like I have hardly eaten today as I have been working hard to get my fitness back up after my weekend of watching movies and eating, after that weekend I look like I have gained a couple of pounds but I weighted myself and I am the exact same size which isn't shocking to me as I can eat and eat without gaining. Dusting myself off before walking inside I make sure the mud is off me as when I was running I tripped over my own feet and hit the floor I made sure no one saw but I feel like someone did, I just wish no fucker had that on video as its embarrassing tripping over my own feet and then hitting the floor. I have dirt on me from push ups and sit ups which I have dusted off and I just need to wash my hands before heading to the cafeteria, I can feel my stomach arguing with me telling me its wants food but as I walk I collide into someone however as I look up I realise its only a medic from the badge I saw first.
"Gabriella how's the arm?" I hear Emma ask, the medic I was with when we was held hostage and I don't think I will forget that as she was the reason I got shot because I had to get her attention when she froze up which I hope I never experience again as next time it could cost me my life and not just a wound.
"Its good, I just finished working out so its working fine" I respond being polite to the question she asked wondering if she's going to stand next to me long making conversation as I just want food. Not many people have stood in between me and food and got away with it to be honest and now she's looking at me before looking at the watch on her arm, I don't know whats running though her head and I don't want to know but before I get chance to make a exit she's dragging me down the halls to a classroom with a couple people in and I just want food.
Looking around the classroom I I take the seat at the back wondering why Emma has dragged me in but when the door opens up again Laura walks in with a smile and it doesn't take me long to know this is a medical class, I should have escaped when I had the chance and now I am stuck. Connecting eyes with Emma I give her my best smile before frowning when she turns away to look at Laura who be teaching a class on how to save a life in danger and I much rather be anywhere else right now like getting food. Running a hand though my hair I think against throwing a tantrum knowing it wouldn't be good if I did as everyone would look at me like I lost my mind but thats how I feel right now being sat here with Emma next to me listening to every word Laura has said. I feel slight weird being here as from the looks of everything Emma has got really close to Laura and her Platoon which isn't surprised as she is the new member but I feel weird because I'm not close with anyone in this room, I only know Emma because I was with her when she was held hostage so I am guessing we are now friends because we was together which doesn't make sense as I am not a people person sometimes, well most times.
Looking at the clock on the wall I begin to wonder how much longer I have off this class before I can make a big escape for some food, I have only been in this class for a couple of minutes but it feels like hours, sure I would love to know more about saving a life but I just cant focus when I have food on my mind. Stopping myself from banging my head on the desk I look up when the door opens and some one walks in, I have a smile on my face wondering if I could crawl out the room without anyone noticing, however the thought is short lived when Donte walks in the room with a smile. I should be a little happier to know he's here in this room to keep me entertain but I have spotted a cake and a chocolate bar in his pockets, I would do anything for a little sugar right now. Watching Donte take a seat on the other side of me I give him a little head nod before looking down at the goods in his pocket, he knows how much I love my food and I swear he saw me enter this room and is taunting me
"I saw the terror on your face when she pulled you into the room" Donte laughs handing me the cake and chocolate bar, he's a life saver right now but I would love to get out the room instead. Rolling my eyes at Donte I snack on the cake when I look up to see Laura looking at us both with a little smirk, she looks at Donte shaking her head which I don't understand. I swear Donte had a thing for Laura or for her skills I don't recall but she's now with that CEO so fair play, no one can deny he's a looker.
Shifting on my seat I look down at Emma notes before looking up to see what Laura is doing wondering if I can pick anything up but as I try to connect the doors I come up empty as I haven't been listening, its like that a lot as if I get bored I kind of just start thinking about something else and entertain myself though my thoughts. As I am reading Emma notes I didn't notice Emma stood up and made her way to the front but as Emma looks at me everyone else's does and I feel like I miss something which I did, turns out I am Emma play thing right now to practice on and if I could I would walk out the door. Walking to the front I take a seat on the bed wondering what Emma will be practicing, why couldn't Emma pick someone else to practice on like Donte, nothing wrong with touching him and I'm sure he would love it.
"Lay on the bed please" I hear Laura ask and I do as she says wondering whats happening next, as I lay down I give Donte one evil look as he's laughing at me, he knows what happened last mission with me being shot so of course he would find the funny side of this, it would be even funnier if she had to patch my arm up.
"She had contained a bullet wound to the lower stomach and been shot in the arm missing the artery, how would you treat her wounds?" I look at Emma giving her the side eye while I overheard what Donte just said about this being ironic and I couldn't agree more, if I didn't have fast reaction time I would have been shot in the stomach and he would have dragged my body back to base.
Laying on the bed Emma gets to quick work on my lower stomach patching it up and stopping the bleeding, she wrapped the lower stomach before attending my arm where I have been shot and Emma touches it carefully unaware how much pain I still have, I told her I was fine but Emma doesn't know me well enough to take my word.
"This feels weirdly the same" I joke to Emma as she patches my arm like she did on the helicopter making sure its secure and tight before looking back to the stomach for any pretend blood but nothing, she steps aside to let Laura look at her work and I look at Emma knowing the arm is wrapped good, I can barely feel it.
"Well done Emma, you have wrapped them pretty good" I hear Laura tell Emma and she has no idea, Unwrapping myself I look at the exit planning my big escape but as I climb off the table Donte phones pings catching everyone attention and before he could say anything, I feel my phone ping in my own pocket and I pull it out knowing it be the same mission, I jump off the table mouthing sorry to both Emma and Laura before following Donte out the door. I knew I wanted a escape but I didn't want one like this...
