Stay With Me

chapter three

Do you think I waited long enough to update? Gotta keep you all on the edge. My life is always crazy busy, so I won't have the fastest updates. I'm currently in my school's play, and I have a huuuuuge part. With big parts, come lots of lines to learn. Just felt like I'm supposed to warn you all that I'm not very fast with updates.

Also, the only language I know is English, so all translations will be from Google.

I looked at him in disbelief. This boy, is a doctor? Surely he can't be serious.

I giggle, to which he sends me a large smile. "No, seriously, who is my doctor?"

To that, his eyes light up, and he gives a laugh of his own. "Now Sang, are you questioning my doctoring abilities? I can cure those giggles right now, and you will never doubt my skills again."

I could feel my cheeks heat up, this man really is my doctor. I just insulted him. My mother was right. I'm nothing but a disrespectful whore. "I-I'm so sorry Dr. Green, it's-it's just that you seemed so young, and... and..."

"Pookie you have nothing to worry about, people are always surprised when they realize how young I am. I'm not offended in the least."

"Pookie?" I ask, the giggles coming back full force. That is the strangest name I have ever heard.

"It just suits you. Now I have to show off my impressive doctoring, just to make sure you see how great it is. So what seems to be the problem?"

With that, I clam up. He can't know what she did. She's sick, this is normal, I have to be there for her. I can't force any words out of my mouth, knowing my lying skills are subpar at best. The most I can do is point a shaky finger to my feet.

He gives me a strange look, but I'm once again consumed by the pain in my feet. I don't bother giving him a reassuring look, the fire is overwhelming. I could crush it down when he was speaking to me, but being reminded of it brought me back to the agony .

Just as he began to pull the blanket out from my feet, the door burst open. A gruff voice barked out, "Purple, I have a fork stuck in my ass, I need you to get it out, and stitch me up."

I looked up at the familiar sounding Russian voice. I remember those brown eyes, I'd know them anywhere. "Bol'shoy Medved'?" (Big Bear).

He looked at me, disbelief evident in his eyes. In a tone barely more than a whisper, he says, "Malen'kaya Ptitsa?" (Little Bird)

After I give him a slow nod, his previously angry face lights up in a smile as he rushes towards me, wrapping his arms around me. "I missed you!" He exclaimed, seeming to have found his typical yelling voice again.

"I missed you, too! What are you doing here? How can you be practicing your professional Russian-ness without being in Russia?" I asked him, laughing as he continued to squeeze the life out of me.

"Trust me, I'm still just as Russian as ever. Just to prove it to you, I'll run and get a fruit cup and show you just how Russian I can be." He smirked. I don't quite remember what the fruit cup was for, but I'm pretty sure it was something good.

"Sorry to interrupt this reunion, but maybe it can continue if my second patient would like to get in that bed over there. Raven, be sure to lay on your stomach, we don't want that fork causing more trouble than it already has. And Miss Sang, don't think that I forgot about you. I'm still checking out those burns."

Raven was unhappy with this, "Malen'kaya Ptitsa is burnt? Why haven't you fixed it yet? How was she burnt? Do I need to show someone just how much of a professional I am?"

"Calm down, Raven, I was about to start working on the burns when you came busting in here. Something I have told you about a thousand times not to do." Dr. Green laughed and shook his head. "How do the two of you know each other anyways?"

"I was wondering the same thing," came a voice from the door. As I looked at them, I realized the infection must be getting bad. I was seeing double!
