Doctor Annabelle (GxG)

Part 41

I looked at the person who just confronted me.

"Hey Marilyn, can we talk in my office?" I asked nicely knowing damn well I would selfishly kill the whole world for Valentina if anyone tried to separate us.

In my head it was wrong to be with a patient but I didn't ask for it. Valentina came in my life at an unexpected moment and I forgot all my rules and routines.

"Yeah sure" The woman nodded and we made way to my office.

It was 3AM and with no sleep for over 48 hours, my mind was starting to fade up.

"I am not going to report you Dr Annabelle. I have worked here for over a decade and you have been nothing but professional with all your patients. I watched some very gorgeous women walk into your office and you did your job. If you were a pevert I would know so Valentina must be very special"

The woman spoke in a grown up manner that made me feel guilty for thinking about mutilating her body into cubic pieces.

"Marilyn, thank you for the kind words and not making an issue out of my love life" I smiled sweetly but she glared at me.

"Just stick to thank you" Marilyn rolled her eyes opening the door.

"Alright then"

Sometimes my honesty got me in sticky situations. I finally got home, my head was killing me so I just drank some pills in the kitchen. I walked to Delia's bedroom wanting to be with my daughter even if she was sleeping. I opened the door to find Angelina lying on the bed with two kids that used her as a pillow. The three of them were snoring and I found myself smiling.

My gut clenched, a warning that something was going to happen. I breathed out a shaky breath wondering when I was ever gonna get a break. I had lost way too much, I couldn't lose anymore.

I covered the three and went to my room. I took a shower and when I got out of the bathroom, my work phone was ringing.

"Yes Marilyn?" I answered the call tiredly rubbing my aching head.

"Vera, your patient. Attempted suicide. She is screaming and thrashing around. I need permission to put her to sleep"

"No, hold her down until I arrive"

"But Dr Annabell, the girl was banging her skull on the wall"

"Don't put her to sleep" I ordered hanging up the phone. I grabbed my outfit for the next day that was already laid out.

My drive to the hospital consisted of breaking the law and nothing else. I could kill a million people but my fight with mental illness was very personal. I could not lose Vera to depression. I would never let it win again.

I swiped my card running in the facility. They were in the hall way holding Vera who kept screaming and screeching.

"Let her go" I ordered rushing to the girl whose knees buckled.

"Vera, its me" I hugged the girl even though she was not responding. Her screams were earpiecing reaching straight to my heart. This young girl was in pain and I could tell she was just trying to make it stop.

"I'm right here" I rubbed her back roughly to make her feel my presence. She quivered burying her face in my shoulder to cry silently. I wondered what happened. Was she hurt?.

The young girl was not calming down she kept crying. I could feel her body shake into sobs as i held her. I looked up and the nurses were looking at us with sorrow in their eyes. It never got easier to witness these patients breakdown like this.

Of all the psychiatrists in the facility, i had the most  struggling patients over my time of working as an active psychiatrist. They got used to how i could handle any type of mental illness that i was the most in demand.
