Heartbeat chapter 13-I found a love beautiful and sweet.
Taylor's POV
I am running to the ER but I’m making a giant effort to not smile. There’s an emergency and probably lot’s of people got hurt due the storm but I am happy, and I know Joe, a few meters in front of me, is thinking the same way based on the way he’s looking at me.– Guys, finally you two show up!– Ryan scream at us.
– Sorry, we were stuck in the elevator.– Joe explains while I get there.
– Okay, attention here. We are about to receive a big crowd of trauma patients. The storm destroyed a few houses and threw an old tree over a commercial building. There are people burned, others polytraumatized and others have just superficial cuts. We need you in every case, so there's no need to fight over patients. I decide who gets what case. Now, everyone put on ER gowns and meet me there at the ambulances park, they are arriving in 5 minutes.
Everyone nods and runs to dress the gown and the sterile gloves. We are ready for action.
We wait for the ambulances outside and what I see makes my mouth drop. Ryan opens the ambulance and a guy with a tree branch appears.
I bite my lips to not express I'm scared and suddenly I hear Ryan screaming at me.
– Dr Carter you come with them. Trauma 3, Go!
I nod and just then I see I'm going to work with Dr Pierce again, which is a relief since I already know her.
We run with the patient and enter on a separated room.
– Dr Carter, we need venous access in his arm and 10 milligrams of morphine. He's going to wake up soon.
She keeps screaming with other residents while I quickly do what she needs and soon we have the patient stable enough to do some portatil X rays.
The tree branch broke his ribs, probably perforated the spleen and stopped 2 cm from the heart.
– Call OR 2 and tell them we are on the way to a thoracotomy and exploratory laparotomy!
~•~•~
It's past 2 am and I'm shaking from the adrenaline. It's been many many hours standing there on the OR, helping with suction and retraction and all I want right now is my bed.
I take a bath and put on my regular clothes, and I'm about to fall asleep with my head on the locker door when I feel a hand on my shoulders.
– Just 5 more minutes, please.– I mumble, without really knowing what I'm saying.
The person chuckles and I recognize the voice, making me fully awake.
I turn around and my heart seems like it wants to beat out of my chest. There he is, with this sequin smile.
– Hi, Tay. You are exhausted, uh?
– I truly am. I've been in surgery for 14 hours.
– I heard your guy survived. Mine suffered a heart attack. You know, too much damage from the shock.
I nod and can't hold a yawn.– Well, we need to talk but since you are this tired I think we can do this tomorrow, I mean, later today. I just check our schedule and we are free.
– I can talk today, I Just need a coffee.
He laughs.
– No you don't, you need and deserve a full night of sleep. Come here, I'll take you home.
I put my Head on his shoulders and he almost drags me along the hallways. Then, we are once again alone in this elevator, this magic elevator, and I can't help but smile at him.
