Damaged

I woke up to my alarm

"Ugh" I groaned while turning it off

I got out of my bed and walked to my closet

I got my blue scrubs off the hanger then put them on

I put on my gray men uggs and grabbed my gray Nike jacket

I walked downstairs and grabbed an apple out of the kitchen then grabbed my keys and headed out

While on my way to work Obsessed by Mariah Carey came on

"Why you so obsessed with me? Boy I want to know, lyin' that you're sexing me." I sang with all my heart

I laughed to myself at how I was singing

5 minutes later I pulled into my parking spot. I got out of my car and headed in

I put my jacket, purse and keys up and headed to my floor.

While heading to my floor an RN ran to me

"The chief has called you into an operation...it's David Easten he's been shot multiple times and has to undergo surgery as soon as possible" she exclaimed

We ran to the room he was in

I put on my mask, boot covers, gloves, etc.

I immediately headed in taking over

"Scalpel!" I ordered

"Ma'am he's losing a lot of blood" a worker said

"Type?" I asked taking the third bullet out

"A-" he said

"Get more stat" I said moving to the other side of his body

"It's one that's right under his heart" a worker said

"It's too risky!" Another worker said

"Keep the blood pumping into his heart!" I said cutting under his heart

I carefully grabbed the bullet but as soon as I did his heart rate sped up alerting his monitor

"Nurse you'll kill him!!" a nurse exclaimed

"Keep pumping the blood!!!" I said almost having the bullet fully removed

I fully removed it but he flatlined

"Continue to pump it we can't lose him!" I yelled checking his monitors

Not even 30 seconds later we got his heart back beating

I took a deep breath and started stitching him up

15 minutes later he was moved to another room to rest

I had already taken off my surgical attire and now I'm heading in to see if he's awake

I knock on the door but didn't get a response so I just walked in

I walked in to see him sleeping

I go over to check his monitors to see they're all good. I then leave the room to get him some water and his pain medicine

When I get back to his room I see that he's up

"Goodmorning Mr. Easten on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worse. What is your pain level?" I ask putting his water and medicine on his tray

"8" he said laying down

"This medicine should help" I said while grabbing his medicine handing it to him with his water

He took it and drunk the whole cup of water

"Can you tell me what happened" he asked

"Well according to your charts..." I yawned. "Excuse me but you were shot once in your arm, leg, back and right under your heart but I was able to remove them all" I finished

"Damn...thank you." He said

"It's my job" I said taking a seat checking the rest of his charts

"No really thank you ma. You didn't have to take that risk at saving me" he said sitting up grunting

I rushed to his side

"Please lay back you got to rest hun" I said laying him back down gently

"I see you let that proper nurse talk go" he said chuckling

"I ain't even notice" I said chuckling too

"What's yo name ma" he asked

"Devyn" i say as I check his vitals

"Mm you know who I am?" He asks

"Yes" I said keeping it short

"You're East...biggest drug dealer in New York" I said grabbing his medicine cup and empty water bottle throwing it away

"Don't call me that" he said looking at the ceiling

"Well what would you like for me to call you" I asked

He chuckled and shook his head "Call me Dave nurse Devyn" he said while putting emphasis on 'Nurse'

"Alright Dave is there anything you need for me to do?" I asked smiling

"Yea can you hand me my phone" he asked

I went to his hospital bag and got his phone out of his pants pocket walking over to his bed

"Before you give it back can you put yo number in it for me?" He asked smiling

'Damn He is sexy as fuck'

"Why should I give you my number?" I asked smiling back

"Because I can tell you ain't like these other women" he said licking his lips

"Eh" I said chuckling

"Yes that was corny as fuck. You heard that too many times" he said laughing

"I fasho did" I said laughing too

"But for real ma give me a chance" he said "when yo day off" he asked

"Saturday" I said putting my number in his phone

"If I'm discharged before that will you let me take you on a date?" He asked

"Sure" I say while handing his phone back

"Thank you." He said grabbing his phone from me

I checked my phone to see I'm on break

"When yo break" he asked

"Now actually" I say while sitting in one of the chairs in his room

"Lemme get to know you" he says

"Alright" I say putting my phone down

"So how old are you?" He asks

"21...you?" I answer

"Same...you look younger than that but I knew you was older than what I was thinking because you work here" he explained

"How old did you think I was?" I ask smiling

"Shid 19" he says

I start laughing

He laughed with me

"How long is your break?" He asks

"30 minutes" I answer

"Well I got time to ask more questions" he says

I just nodded my head...
