Saving Elliot (After)

Long Time No See

I wake up rubbing my eyes with my hands. I force myself to get up and do my normal routine. But it's cold and who wants to get up when it's cold? Tamara likes to keep our apartment like this all the time. It's summer outside and winter in here. I can't believe that I'm living this life that I've been dreaming since I was a little girl. I remember when Arthur and Macaulay will tell me that my dream of becoming a neurologist will never come true, and Mum while fight with them to not bring me down. But I know as annoying as they are they never mean any harm.

Once I'm ready I give myself one second look in the mirror by the exit door. Tamara was still sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up. She was such a slob. But I love her like the sister I never had.

Today was that day, the day Fintry told me he was leaving after he gave me that passionate kiss. Tonight will be eight years since he's been gone and never heard from him. I remember that day like it was just yesterday. Sometimes I catch myself thinking what will happen if I never gotten into that stupid accident. Would he had left? I wonder if he was still alive? He never even try coming back. Would life be different if he was still here? So many questions but none of the them answered. I feel stupid smiling about all the flashback and the memories we had together. We were so immature about everything, especially the fights.

As I walk into my office... Its weird saying my, I'm still trying to get use to it. I've been working here for almost 2 months and it has been everything I ever imagine. The fact that my life is coming into place makes me feel more comfortable about everything.

"Good Morning Dr. Jensen." My Secretary greeted me. The word 'Dr.' brings a smile forming from one ear to another.

"Good Morning Annabelle! How are you this fine Morning?" I replied to her.

"It's been good so far. A lot of patients are going to be here any minute. It seems like today is going to be a long day." She informed me like she always did.

"It's okay we will take each patient one at the time. I'm going to be in my office checking some last paper work. Just let me know when the first patient gets here or needs anything. Don't bother to hesitate." I told her. She nodded, and went my way.

Once I enter my office. Close the door and the thought of Fintry doesn't want to leave my head. I always thought of him which is stupid because this happen a long time ago. I guess I still had a little bit of hope. He made a great impact in my life and change my prospective on viewing things. I decide to shake it off and go on with my day. I look at the paper works viewing my patients examinations, making calls to tell them know there diagnose and any other little thing I needed to do. I was so into my work, that when my office phone rang it scared the crap out of me.

"Jensen?" I respond.

"Your first patient is ready for you." Annabelle told me through the phone.

"Okay thank you. Let me just send this email and I'll be on my way." I let her know, while I was trying to type as fast as possible.

As I walk past the hall away I see my assistant taking patients in, and I greeted each one of them with a smile. Making my way into the one of the rooms, where my first patient of the day was in. Before I go in I grab a clipboard looking at the past visit. For the looks of it this patient been here plenty of times. Since I'm new I've seen them at least three time. I knock on the door before entering, wait a few seconds and walk in.

"Good Morning! Ms. Moore" I greeted at her with a big smile.

"Morning," I could hardly hear here.

"What's your reason for your lovely visit?" I asked her. I like to conversation with my patients it helps them get better. I hope she opens up.

"I've been having problems with dizziness and sometimes my vision blurs out!" she told me desperately; she looked sick.

"When was the last time you went to the eye doctor?"

"A week ago, they were the ones who told me to come here." she explained how this happen so and so day and hasn't stop ever since. I listen carefully as I would take notes on my clipboard.

"Okay what im going to do is take you to the another room and get my assitant to help you get an MRI and check your brain." I told her. Her eyes almost popped out her face. "Don't worry nothing is going to happen." I tried to relax her.

"Okay."

I went to get my assistant to take her to take an MRI. When she left I went to other patients and see what they needed and what was wrong with them. Time was passing so fast I hardly realize it was time for lunch. My mum always told me that if time passes by fast that meant I was doing something I really like, and I really liked my job. I usually go eat with my co-workers but today I just didn't seemed in the mood. I missed my mum so I decided to call her.

"Hey mum!" I almost squeak

"Honey how are you?" she asked

"You know same old working." Talking to her always made me feel better. Growing up was hard with just guys around the house. Except for one of my brothers. But other that, the only person I could always rely on was my Mum. She was like my best-friend and she was always there for me when I needed her. She talked about everything that was going on recently with my brothers. Every-time we talk she does all the talking and all the speaking, and I liked it that way. I never really had anything to say. When Fintry left my mom was there to help me get better. She claims she knew everything that was going on between us but didn't want to tell us.

I ended my conversation to go back to work.

When I ended with my last patient I was ready to go home. I went to my office to get the paper work and do them at home when all of a sudden I hear loud arguments down the hall. I couldn't tell who the person other then the voice of Annabelle. Then my phone rings. I stare at it for a minute and my heart was pounding 30 times harder. Why? I answered.

"Dr. Jensen.." she got interrupted. "Please sir let me talk to her and see if she still has time for you." she explained. I guess the patient was being obnoxious. she tried to continue. "Dr. Jensen, there's a patient here that doesn't want to understand that we are close and demands an appoinment, but our time is up and its past closing time." I stare at my watch in my wrist.

"Did you guys lock the door before he came in?" I asked her.

"Mmm no mam'" she responded.

"Well lock the door but he will be the last patient of the day. Put him in a room and I will be there in a bit." I tell her, her instruction. And hanged up the phone.

Before I go into the room I look at the clipboard to try to see his last visit but nothing. He seems to be new here. I asked one of my assistants if he has come here before but they said no. They didn't even recognize him. Our clinic was a private clinic. He was officially new. I knock on the door wait a few seconds, "Come in!" he yelled out.

"Hello" I walk in still looking at the clipboard. There's not even a name on here. No sort of information for all I know he can be dangerous.

"Hello there munchkin!" he respond, with his american accent I can tell he was smirking. could it be?

My eyes widen and I stop examinating the paper and slowly looked up, I couldn't believe it. Was he really infront of me or was i just imagining things. My heart was going to pop out at any minute, my hands became sweaty and the room became harder to breath. I'm going to pass out.

"Fintry." I whispered.
