Jay's Anatomy

Don't Hurt Yourself.

7:20 a.m Chris' POV

So, she doesn't love me anymore? I mean, I know she loves me. Everybody knows that, but did I really just let Dave take the cake?

"So, a nigga gotta hurt himself in order for her to truly care and confess her love for a nigga?" I asked Trey and Aug as I paced back and forth in the Attendings Lounge.

We've been here for 24 hours straight... I haven't been home in a day because of all the chaos that's been going on, and all of my patients. I'm just super stressed out man.

"Nigga no... it just happened in this case. Ain't you say that she loves you and y'all got history? She basically confessed her love fa' you countless times.. I feel like right nah wit' all of dis stuff goin' on, she probably just going ta' Dave right nah. Especially when you gotta baby on the way. She can't compete wit' a baby dat ain't hers." August said as Trey stayed quiet and they both brought their attention to me.

"What if that ain't my baby though." I said crossing my arms as August furrowed his eyebrows.

"Nigga you tha' only one dats been wit' Zoey." August said as he furrowed his eyebrows and he scoffed at me.

When it got quiet, I looked at Trey, he looked at me, and August started connecting the dots.

"Waiitttttttttt... she cheated!?" August asked as I took a deep breath...

I gotta figure out when imma present this information to Jay. With everything that's going on, she's too stressed about Dave and she's already saddened about what happened. I can't do more damage by tellin' her that the girl she dislikes had both of the men she loves. She'd go into full depression.

It's gonna get told though...

Jay's POV

Dave just got out of surgery. I operated with the Chief. I had to repair his femur and the outside of his leg. The bone was partially exposed through his skin, and an infection was spreading rapidly, so I had to quickly cut the infection out and treat his wound.

I was nervous the whole time he was under anesthesia. First off, anything could go wrong at any moment. I learned that from Kyle. Then, I'm operating on one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the Southern Hemisphere. This nigga gotta reputation. If I make a wrong move, or if I mess his leg up, I could ruin a lot for him. Plus, he'd be pissed off at me. I've already done enough damage.

"How is he?" Moniece asked as I walked out of the operating room.

"I gotta keep him under close watch to make sure all of the infection is gone. If it comes back, then I'm gonna have to go back in." I said walking towards the Attending's Lounge. They have a couch in there and they have better snacks than us.

I'm hungry... I've been here since basically 1 a.m. I deserve to eat. I especially eat when I stressed... food comforts me.

As I walked in the door with Moniece, I got stares from nurses and every other attending. I looked over and I saw Zoey sitting on the couch glaring at me. Chris was sitting next to her, and he was staring me down.

I walked over to the fridge, and Moniece stayed posted up by the door.

"I gotta say something..." I heard Zoey say as Chris and August tried to make her back down. I took a deep breath and I prepared for the worst.
