24 hours/day one:

September 19, 1994 / September 20, 1994.

It had been about almost 4 hours since my shift had ended, and my pager went off. I called the hospital and apparently, Carol had overdosed.

So I hurried into the hospital. It had been 15 minutes since I got paged and I honestly didn't know if I would make it in time.

Mark was at the admit desk.

"Y/n, thanks for coming"

"How is everything?"

"Honestly, everything is under control now so if you wanna head back out that's fine" he sighed

"Is Carol stable?"

"She's stable but not awake yet"

"Is she going to wake up?"

"Here's hoping"

"Oh god" I groaned

"Do you like doing me a favor?" he asked

I Raised an eyebrow

"Do you mind talking to Doug"

"Sure"

As I headed down the hallway, I saw Doug pacing back and forth.

"Doug, let's head home," I said assertively.

"I think I'll stay"

"You got off a while ago, let's go"

"Pacing back and forth all night isn't going to help"

"It just makes you look like a fool"

He finally followed me.

We walked down the sidewalk for a long time, in silence.

"You wanna talk?" I asked

He opened his mouth but nothing came out.

"I think it was because of me"

"Why is that?"

"I don't know, I said something earlier"

"I'm sure that wasn't the case"

"Besides, it's not our place to assume what made her do that"

"I know but we're her friends"

"Yeah?"

"What if she doesn't make it"

"She has amazing doctors taking care of her"

"I need to go back"

"Doug," I groaned.

"You broke up a long time ago, she's moved on, you know that"

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't she with Tagliari from orthopedics?"

"I didn't know that" 

We both sat down on a bench.

"I gotta get home," he said.

"Are you actually going to go home though?"

"Yes, Y/n"

"Okay"

He took a few steps but turned around.

"Thanks for the talk" He nodded, continuing to walk away.

a/n: hey, I really hope you're enjoying this story so far. I'd just like to note that I've written the whole story and finished editing it a while ago. I still have two different endings to decide on but I guess I have time since this story is pretty long. I wanted to write to ask you something. I wrote this story on my phone and I usually type in all lowercase (like what I'm doing right now) so, would you mind if the rest of the story is in lowercase? if not, please let me know!! I'd be happy to edit some more. Although I'd like to point out that if you would prefer me to correct my capitalization, it may take me a little bit longer to post. xx, G
