This is unedited. Hope y'all enjoy. Honestly the title sucks and I have no idea where I was going with this. It came to me in a dream so I decided to write it. 🤷🏽
Perrie's POV:
Entering the ER I spot the patient I'm consulting on resting in bed three. I make my way over to the bed.
"Jasmine, this is Dr. Perrie Edwards, the one I was telling you about." Dr. Pinnock says, gesturing to me.
"What's up, Doc? Leigh says you're the best of the best."
"Dis she now?" I smirk at the usually smug peds surgeon.
"Yep. I haven't been here in a few weeks so I'll decide for myself how good you are."
"I like this kid." I say to Leigh-Anne as I take a seat on the stool beside the bed.
"You said you haven't been here in a few weeks?"
"Yeah. I used to spend quite a bit of time here. Then things changed." Her expression darkens, her eyes tracking something.
I turn and the only person that she could be looking at is an ER nurse named Hailee Steinfeld. I look to Leigh for some kind of explanation but she just shakes her head and I look at Jasmine.
"Can you tell me what happened today?"
"I was playing basketball with some friends and I took a bad fall."
I observe her swollen left arm that has some scratches.
"Okay. I'm gonna stabilize your arm so we can get some x-rays."
"Sounds good."
"Has somebody called your parents?" I ask as I snap on some gloves.
"It's just my Mom and I. She's around here somewhere." Jasmine mumbles.
I nod. "Do you play basketball for school?" I start to stabilize her arm.
"No. I play volleyball and soccer."
"What grade will you be in this year?"
"Eighth. Do you think this will be healed by my birthday?"
I take my gloves off, throw them in the trash, and look at Jasmine.
"When's your birthday?"
"July tenth."
I smile. "That's my birthday too."
She lights up and holds up her right fist which I bump.
"It's the beginning of June. We'll more than likely have to put a cast on your arm and the cast will have to stay on at least six weeks."
Jasmine groans.
"But you're a healthy kid and depending how fast you heal, the cast may come off early." I place a pillow under her arm to elevate it to help decrease the swelling.
"Jazzy!"
Jasmine and I both look in the direction of the voice and see two brunettes running towards us. One is Dr. Jade Thirlwall, the head of urology. The other brunette I've seen around the hospital but I haven't had the pleasure of actually meeting her.
"Hi, Mom."
"What the hell happened, Jasmine?"
"I had a bad fall while I was playing basketball. Hi, Jade."
"Hey kid." Jade smiles.
"You were supposed to be with your Grandma, not out playing basketball."
