"10 blade," The doctor said, looming over Eric's body on the table.

The nurse handed it over.

"WE NEED MORE SUCTION!" He cursed under his breath.

"HEART BEATS ARE FALLING!"

"WE'RE LOSING HIM!"

"Come on!" The doctor whispered.

"WE'RE NOT GETTING A HEART BEAT!

Viv woke up smiling.

This felt like the best day of her life. Nothing could bring her spirits down! She was walking on air.

Jumping off the bed she went to the bathroom and showered. Wore a comfy, baggy PJ and started blowing her hair, humming softly.

It was still 10 AM and she was already thinking of what to wear. She made herself a nice warm cup of coco and went to investigate her wardrobe.

She picked out a knee length, shimmering blue dress. Too much.

She threw it on the ground and picked a black skirt. Nothing to match. She threw it on the ground.

A lime green dress caught her attention. It had long, wide sleeves and ruffles! 

"Why did I buy that?!" She thought in horror. On the ground it went. Seriously, It should have went through the window!

She picked a pair of light blue skinnies and a pink t-shirt with a "Hamburger" printed on it.

"Definitely not dating material!" She chuckled.

The hamburger though, reminded her of Keith the Burger King. Dread washed over her as she remembered that she was supposed to go out with him too! That just won’t work.

She went over to the bedside table and picked up her phone. No messages from Eric, weird! Not really putting much thought to it she went and dialed Keith; A text won’t do. 

"Dr.Keith," An oh so familiar voice answered almost immediately.

Speaking of which, how come he's a doctor and he's not busy! Why can't he be like other doctors; Too busy to date?!  From what she heard, most doctors are too busy to even answer their phones!

"HEY! Keith. It's me, Viv."

"Viv, baby, what's up? Getting ready for tonight?" He asked.

Viv faked a cough. "About that..I 'm," another cough. " VERY tired today! I can barely breathe!"

"Oh my God! Baby! I'm coming to drive you to the hospital! Don't worry!"

"NO! NO! Keith! It's just flu! Chill! I just need rest," Get the message, please!

"You still need to check up. You should sleep. I'll pick you up later tonight. We need to find you a doctor." Keith said stubbornly. 

"No really, Keith. I'm fine!" Viv was desperate! What had she gotten herself into?

"You know how many people say that before dying?" He retorted. "You sleep. I'll call you later, bye."

Great. She'll just have to act dead.

She threw the phone on the bed and went back to her outfit hunt. She glimpsed a purple cloth and pulled it. It was that dress she had bought with Eric. Viv smiled. Eric.

She went over to the mirror, held the dress to her and studied her reflection. Perfect. It was a little under her knees and way longer from behind. It was utterly covered in a barely visible pink lace except for the stomach part. She loved it! And most importantly, she didn't have to worry about Eric liking it; He picked it!
