warnings : drugs (ketamine joke)

You got invited to the SIDEMEN Tinder In Real Life youtube video. You are acutely aware to what the Sidemen are and you've seen their videos before. Now to be fair, the genres between your channel and their channels were pretty different. The Sidemen were known for football challenges, those 100$ vs 100,000$ challenges and other things with a similar vibe. You on the other hand, you did vlogs, lifestyle hack and tips, in your time you've achieved some disstracks and occasionally broke down some formula 1 grand prix weekend.

The moment you saw the instagram dm from the Sidemen official account you weren't sure how to react. Should you be excited? scared? worried? yeah.. all. It was the Sidemen, Logan Paul, Mike and George (idk who Mike and George but who cares).

Eventually you accepted the offer and waited till the day you had to be "picked up" by kinda random men for 5 minutes straight. The day came, you got dressed for the video shoot, they made you wait with the other girls until they called your name and then you walked in.

"Hi, I'm (your name). I'm 24 and i'm from Newark, New Jersey" (go devs go) You've practiced that line like 50 times before you left, not because you wanted to come out of this video with a new man but because you didn't want to embarrass yourself lmao.

"Hi, I'm Vikk. I'm 26 and are you from Tennessee, because you're the only ten i see"

"Would've been funny if i hadn't just said im from New Jersey dude, no sorry"

"Hello, I'm Logan-"

"No. Complicated history" you said as you swiped left.

"One chance please"

"Alright, BUT u gotta watch it tho"

"Okay. SO. If i were a pizza delivery guy, i'd be giving YOU the tip"

"Ew no sorry lmfao.. that was weak as fuck"

"Alright wow, Hello, I'm Tobi. I'm 31 and they say that kissing is a language of love, so would you mind starting a conversation with me?"

"Sure go on.. yes. I love that"

Hello, My name is Ethan and let only latex stand between our love.

"Yeah thats funny.. alright, go on"

"Yo, I'm KSI. I'm 30 and you know how they say skin is the largest organ on the human body? Well.. Not in my case."

"Lmao, yes go on"

“Hello, I'm Mike. I'm 37 and girl, you don't need no vibrator when you got this Pickled Dick.”

"Jesus Christ. No, get out"

"Hi, My name is Simon and.. Simon says you want to swipe right"

"Lmao. I love that, Yes"

"Sup, I'm George and I’m peanut butter. You’re jelly. Let’s have sex"

"Jeeesus, that’s crazy bro... no"

"Hello, My name is Josh and I find your lack of nudity disturbing"

"No, I'm so sorry" (guys i love freya sm i couldnt do this)

"Uhm, Hello. I'm Harry. I'm 26 years old and what do ketamine and your underpants have in common?"

"I don't know" you said looking at the blonde-ish man confused.

"I'd like to sniff them both."

The whole room fell into a laughter, you included. "Yes"

"BUT I GET A NO?" Logan exclaims. "What a scam"

WHY DID YOU SAY NO?

(NO : Logan, Josh, Mike, Vikk and George)

"For Logan i think we left this in 2019 and rightfully so. For Josh i dont really know tbh, i just thought his line couldve been better. Mike, i think you know why i said no. Vikk.. Im gonna be honest i dont even remember what youve said but im sure i had my reasons and George, you couldve been waaaaaay smoother mate.. tough luck"

YALL. this is part one because i cant be arsed and put it all right here right now 😁😁😁

Chapter One - Celebrations (Stewy Hosseini x OC!Roy)

Summary: Dr Lauren Roy couldn't care less about the empire her father created. She was happy being an ED doctor until something happened on Logan Roys birthday

11 months after starting at Bellevue Hospital 

A car crash. That's how I would describe my childhood and adolescence but today it was in a more literal sense. 

"23 year old female car collision, stab wound to the abdomen, possible internal bleeding" a paramedic barges through and informs the doctors, myself included. I point them towards the resus area where I can have a better look to see what I am dealing with just before I hear another paramedic arguing with a patient and her partner informing other doctors of his status. 

"34 year old male, passenger in car collision in back seat. Doesn't seem to have any obvious or severe injuries but possible concussion." After hearing argument from behind him about 'being fucking capable' he added "not a fan of hospitals… or people. Good luck" 

"Fantastic. Thanks Jay" I say as the duo leave the hospital. “Lewis,” I shout on the first year resident, first shift best to baptise by fire, “can you treat male in bay 5 possible concussion. Hannah how's our stab wound patient?" Walking over to Hannah Williams my best friend in this place and fellow physician. 

"X-ray and ultrasound show she's bleeding into her left lung." She informed me on the status of the poor young girl. 

"OK we'll need to cut into her lung, Sofia can you give her 5 milligrams of morphine?" As Hannah hands me a scalpel. I cut into her side putting a chest tube in to ensure the blood is no longer in her lung. "Get her to the OR now"  I say to the porters who were on their way to take her to the operating theatre 

“Dr Roy” I hear as I walk out the doors checking my phone to see 5 missed calls from Shiv and 10 messages from Roman. The young resident getting my attention. "Yes, Dr Hamilton," I said trying my best not to get irritated at the new physician, not his fault it is my dearest father's 80th birthday which I am thankfully late for but sure my siblings will not agree. “The patient with a concussion. He's asking to be treated by you” I look at the clock I have five minutes of my shift left sure I can tell an asshole that he's fine take some paracetomal and fuck off. But as I look up I genuinely contemplate grabbing a scalpel and slitting my wrist with it. I nod to Ethan telling him it's fine I'll deal with him grabbing discharge papers as I do so. 

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

“'Wow Laurey have to work on your bedside manner” 

“Shut the fuck up, why are you making my residents life hell? Just sign the fucking papers Stewy" 

"Aww can't italk to my favourite Roy?" He said condescendingly to which I just glare back 

''Thought that was Kendall. Well from what iheard from your college days he was” he laughed

'You jealous?' 

that caused me to roll my eyes. A thing that happens regularly when business bros are in my vicinity “oh and the girl is most likely going to be fine by the way. Not that you'd care, too busy thinking about ways to sue her for crashing precious Mercedes.' Now was his turn to roll his eyes 

“it was a Ferrari actually” Making me roll my eyes “Thought you had a special get together with daddy dearest? Or are you 'busy' again?" Oh what a fucking shock, changing the subject. Some things never change I suppose. 

“I'm supposed to be but instead I'm trying to get some prick to sign discharge papers and get out my ED.” He laughed at that knowing I'm in no rush when he saw me decline a call from Marcia. 

‘Calm the fuck down sure your rushing to get there” I once again roll my eyes and just three papers down walking away shouting over my shoulder 

“Just sign the fucking papers” before rushing to the staff shower room. 

**************************************

I get out of the taxi as my car is in the shop once again just outside my father's building walking in the doorman nodding at me before stepping into an old fashioned elevator. Heart racing as I go up. Last time I saw my family together was nearly a year ago. I love my siblings, me and Roman chat regularly and I meet Shiv every second Tuesday for drinks, usually just her bitching about the family or her job... or her boyfriend really her life which is ironic for a daughter of a billionaire. She is the definition of first world problems. I think Shiv doesn't think of me as a threat and a sort of fucking therapist for her to be honest. I just wish we grew up like that instead of having such an intense rivalry until I came back to New York. 

The doors open to show the majority of my family as well as others I am not so familiar with. No dad or Kendall. What a shame. 

Marcia intercepts me at the door welcoming me in from the harsh cold to the lovely and fake warmth of their apartment. she always seemed most fond of me out of my siblings, suppose it may be because iactually respect her but who knows might be a coincidence.  

“Oh look. The black sheep finally graces her with her presence” roman says to which I roll my eyes at as he pulls me in for a very awkward hug “ew why do you smell like dead people” 

I pulled back right away "I don't smell like dead people. How do you know what dead people smell like” 

“I mean I don't but your what I expect dead people smell like.” 

"You’re a disgrace to society" 

"What every twin wants to hear" 

"Shut the fuck up" 

"You shut the fuck up, you whore"

"Prick" 

“Will you both stop” I hear, Connor split the two of us up. I turn around and he gives me a small smile. “How have you been, Laur?”

'I'm good Con, been busy with work and stuff but just getting on with it.” binning off any other aspects of my life, as if there are any. Then I see next to my eldest sibling, a younger very pretty girl “Who's this?” I ask. 

“This is Willa. She's sort of my date for tonight.” Willa gave a small wave to which I smiled in greeting “lovely to meet you Willa. I'm going to get a drink. See you around.” igrabbed a champagne flute and looked around seeing that almost everyone had everyone with them, even Connor had a fucking escort but no way in hell would I bring anyone to a family affair, like bring a lamb to slaughter. I checked my phone praying that there was an emergency and didn't have to face this delightful dinner that chefs who will get not recognition made us but alas no messages or miscalls. 

“Quiet. Get into a spot. Logan is here” Marcia informs us 

“We're surprising him?” I asked anyone near 

“Last time isurprised him he fucking decked me” Rome added to which majority of people ignored only few knowing first hand the pain Roman and myself went through. I just managed to break free of the toxicity, Roman did not.

When the doors of the elevator opened to show Logan he looked surprised and put on a fake smile as all the party guests gave him his presents. You could tell it was faked if you looked close enough.

Connor proceeded to give dad bread goo? When asked the question most were thinking he said it's the basic recipe for sourdough bread. Does he even eat sourdough? It was then time for me to give him my gift.

“Know you have a million of them but here you go. Happy birthday dad.” giving him an engraved watch and a small cupcake I made earlier that day. He looks at me and the watch. Then pulls me in for an extremely awkward hug.

“Thanks for coming Lauren.” he says with all seriousness “I really appreciate it”. I look past him to see Shiv lipsing 'what the actual fuck' to which she shrugged her shoulder. When he broke away the elevator doors opened again showing Kendall this time, my father having a disappointed look in his eye when he saw the second eldest child. As I went to take another drink of my champagne I realised I was empty. I looked around for a very underpaid waiter to see Tom standing to my left handing me a glass.

“Thanks Tom” I say with borderline distaste, after everything I have heard from Shiv wouldn't be shocked if he starts on chatting business with me

“No problem for my favourite sister in law” to which I side glance but  before I could reply to the partner of my only sister Logan had reappeared with Kendall and told all the children to meet him in the side room. I certainly will need my champagne for whatever bullshit that is about to occur.

Checking my phone, praying for one last miracle iwalked through the door following the rest of my siblings. Rome teasing Connor for his bread making tactics 

“Yeah sure he can let it rise when he's doing his yoga.” My twin quips to our eldest sibling. Logan then enters the room shutting the doors behind him. 

"What's this all about Pa?" Connor questions the patriarch of the family 

"it's about the family trust." He began grabbing all of our attention mostly out of curiosity on my part "it will divide the succession in the event of my unlikely demise. i'm going to add Marcia to myself, and you five" I let out a laugh oh the shit show this is going to cause.  

"And my seat also to go to her on my death --" even I stood up at that point thinking that this idea was fucking dreadful and I only understood about half of what is going on. 

"Whoa? Okay?" Shiv questions looking at me with her "what the fuck is going on' look

"Which would give her double weight?" I say not 100 percent sure if I was understanding all of this correctly

"Uh-huh. So I've got the paperwork for you-" 

“Wait wait wait... so Marcia will have two vote when you -" Kendall says,confirming it for not just himselves but those around him also the worry being shown in all our faces

“If" Roman tries to correct, obviously avoiding thinking of the inevitable. 

"No Rome. When" Connor tells him 

"Well excuse him if he doesn't want to think of our father's death" I stand up for him leaning against the wall as Rome sits properly on the chair he was once sitting upside-down  on 

"Well it not really about what we want" Connor snacks back 

"Kendall has already signed" but the look on his face told a completely different story.

"Two votes? I wasn't really made aware-'' Kendall tried to defend himself failing spectacularly

"Read the small print asshole." Roman bitched back, logan handed out a bunch of papers out to the five of us to ensure we read and had a copy of the contract 

While all were glancing through it Shiv said "I mean this looks... I’m going to have to get my lawyer to look over all this just for all the implications"

"Sure, take a beat." He replies making it seem as if we have a choice "right look. I love the bread goo... but this is what I really want." staring us down with his determined yet 'I’m doing you a favour' look as he went on to say “so until four? Good." walking towards the door as if he was about to leave until he turned back around as if he remembered something “oh and I also mentioned to Kendall. Despite the chatter and all things considered, I'm  going to give it a couple years" I look around the room in confusion 

"as in?" I questioned my father 

"I'll stay in situ as chairman. CEO. Head of the firm '' that not only made Kendall raise his eyebrows as if this was new to him but also made me take a sip of my drink as if I was at the cinema watching  a movie eating popcorn. Roy events are always like this when you have fuck all to do with the business. I glance towards my twin giving him a questioning look where he just shrugs his shoulders as if saying 'fuck if he knows."

"Wait what?" Kendall stutters out  confused by this new development. 

"Son it doesn't matter we can announce your in pole position, pending events, moving up whatever." Me and Roman once again make eye contact with him whispering to me 'wow' and trying to hold back a laugh at the look  of anger and despair on my second eldest brother's face. "Come on, let's go and eat" before the dad of the five  siblings walks out of the room. 

"Ok can I just start by asking: What the actual fuck?" I started as soon as he was gone looking around at my brothers and sister letting out a surprised laugh 

"Fuck" Roman breathes out trying not to laugh also, covering his mouth in the process. 

"What are you laughing at?" Kendall accuses us both as we both try to stop looking so amused by the look on our brother's face. 

"We're not even laughing" Roman says while covering his mouth to quiet down as I took a drink to swallow any giggles. 

"He's going to lose all credibility of the firm" Kendall dismisses us talking to the entire group as though me and Connor could give a shit. Connor only cares about his allowance to pay his hooker. We couldn't care less "Does he look okay to you?" Kendall continues acting as if he had a fuck about dads health in any capacity. 

"C'mon, Ken. This is typical, its dad" Shiv tells our brother insinuating that he is a twisted fuck who ruins any of his childrens slightest chance of happiness or achievement. 

"I'm out. I’m not playing. Whatever you guys decide I'm going with but I’m out" our eldest brother says walking out the doors to the main part of the apartment. "On the trust I refuse to play. I'm water, I flow." My eyebrows raise at that analogy but to be fair to him I'm on the same wavelength. 

"Yeah, I'm same as Con. Rome pick for me and I'll sign'' throwing my papers down next to my brother and walking out the room hearing im curse me 

"Choose you fucking self, fuck face" 

As I shut the door I bump into a tall sort of scrawny looking guy 

"Jesus Christ" nearly falling on my ass trying to avoid him

"I am so sorry!" he exclaimed apologetically "I should have been looking where I was going. I'm sorry." the boy in front of me managed to stutter out. I took pity on the poor boy couldn't be younger than 28 

"It's fine. Don't worry about it" giving him a small smile before carrying on before he took that as an opportunity to continue the conversation.

"I'm Greg. I'm Logan's brother's grandson." he explained his connection to the family 

"Cool, uh, I’m Lauren. Logan's daughter" unsure on how to carry on with this conversation Marcia comes to the rescue telling us it's time for lunch. Maybe I should sign those papers after all. 

Kendall barges through to the dining hall before we have a chance to go through. You could hear the arguing through the door, Greg beside me questions 

"Uh, does this happen a lot?" 

"You mean the chaos, arguing and fucking each other over? Every time we meet." I give him a wide smile as the doors open "Welcome to the family" 

We all sit down to our places, putting myself next to Roman chatting along with him about some bullshit side quest he's doing now. Think it was something to do with fashion which makes no sense as I’m pretty sure Grace fucking dresses him. Then someone speaks out to Marcia 

"Marcia this is delicious".

 I muttered to Rome “As if she fucking made it” rolling my eyes as he smirked when Shiv began to compliment the day and how thoughtful it has been through grated teeth im sure. 

"You suck up" he muttered to Shiv making me cough down a laugh 

Frank starts to do a speech about Dundee and Quebec but to be honest I wasn't listening to a word he said. It’s Frank , how interesting can it be? I only realised it was a toast when everyone raised there glass to which I followed suit

“I think it's time to play the game." this causes a range of emotions from annoyance, to excitement to confusion (in Gregs case)

We arrive at the helicopters and get in Shiv and Kendall looking over the papers and shaking their heads like what the actual fuck? No.

We arrive at a field with a tent full of well needed drinks. I genuinely don't think I drink as much when it comes to family functions. 

I see Shiv and Kendall and Roman chatting by the helicopters right before the game is about to start. I walk up to them slowly

"Hey, what's happening? Are we deciding our stance on this?"

"Ken here is suggesting giving up politics and join a co presidency where I would be working under him" 

"Ah yes, lose you upscale politics work for working for our elder brother who owns shit from what I recall"

"Shut the fuck up Lauren. Don't you have to be giving someone a band aid or whatever the fuck you do?"

"Hey don't start that shit with her-" Rome started defending 

"Fuck you Kendall. Dads right not to leave company to you. Your nothing but a sad little boy angry he didn't get the toy he wanted." glaring at him before walking as far away as possible from that absolute prick of a brother. Not before hearing 

"She's got a point to be fair" from Shiv

At the start of the game Shiv throws the ball for  Ken to bat but his phone rings before he can run. 

"sorry I gotta take this" turning away from the game and inevitably leaving so that means we were down a player. Then Roman being Roman caught a little kid because that's what Roman does. 

"Hey you, kid. I will give you a million dollars if you do  home run," writing a check as he's doing so

"Rome don't be a dick" I snarked, feeling bad for the poor child. 

"What? It's a little incentive" which I just rolled my eyes at. 

When Shiv throws the ball the kid hits it quite well, passes one station, second, third but just before he could hit last base Tom put him  out. "Sorry kid, you were so close. so damn close." and ripped up the check he just wrote. 

"Prick '' I muttered before walking past him to the kid and his family taking off my necklace in the meantime just as Colin carried over the watch Tom bought him and a couple pieces of paper. NDAs. they probably carry them everywhere. 

"I can only apologise for my brother and his behaviour today." I began the apology on my brother's behalf as it seems like I have been doing the majority of my life. 

"He shouldn't have disrespected you like that. I am so sorry. Please take these gifts in reparations." I added hearing Colin next to me

"Hi, I'm Colin and I work for the Roy family. The Roy family would rather keep this quiet so if you could sign these" Collin adds, forcing me to look down so this poor family doesn't see the disdain I have for this type of activity. Roys have to keep family close. 

I went to Shiv getting into the helicopter with her, Rome, dad and Connor, knowing there will probably be some sort of argument that day.

"Officially the deadline has passed so what's the decision kids." Our dad asks us, looking at Roman. Although I may not like him right now I would trust him to make the right decision for us. 

"What's the Frank situation?" Rome asks, I look at Con confused to which he shrugged his shoulders. 

"Franks gone. Franks dead. Toms stepping up and Shivs thinking of taking a new role." I'm not going to lie, I was getting more and more shocked as he went on. Roman and Shiv looked at one another asking what they think with their eyes

"Shiv." Rome looks at her, 

"Rome" she replies with the same look and attitude in her voice

"Laur" 

"I don’t give a fuck what Rome says, isay." I tell dad directly, Connor nodding his head in agreement. 

"Our position is that this doesn't quite work for us. At present." Shiv says to our father letting him know the decision we had made was no way in hell. Ever. Just in a more professional term.

"It's not sufficiently attractive as a proposition" Roman added 

"Basically we don't want to sign because it doesn't benefit us in any way." I added my piece. Fuck knows if I’m right.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" 

"No, why would we want to give up power?" Shiv points out before our father starts mumbling things and making no sense while Shiv and Rome still spoke over. 

"Dad? Are you ok?"

Causing the bickering to stop and questioning our dad is ok. I yell to the pilot to take us to the nearest fucking hospital just as he collapses in to connors lap 

"How does he feel, Con? is he hot?" 

"Hes burning up" 

"We need to get to a hospital now" 

"Why? What is it?" Shiv asks frantically

"I don't fucking know Shiv, I'm a doctor not a fucking magician. Could be a stroke, or haemorrhage. We need to get to a hospital five minutes ago!" As we began to land at the nearest hospital, my hospital I yelled out. 

"Logan Roy, 80 year old male, collapsed after a stressful conversation but could possibly have a brain haemorrhage. We need Dr Abrams right now." 

"Dr Roy, Dr Roy. Lauren!" someone interrupted as I was shouting out orders. It was the young resident, Lewis. "We've got him" as they rushed my father down the hallway leaving me helpless with my siblings. the place I felt the most useful, I have never felt so useless. 

************************************************************

A/N: This is probably tragic writing compared to other brilliant writers who do the Roys justice, especially Shiv, but I just imagine dodgy childhood with her but mature and have a slight sisterhood but obviously is much closer to Roman as twin. Ages are off probs but its a fanfic it doesn't matter.

Wait | (Ethan Ramsey x MC)

(A/N: I tried to include details from today’s chapter but I hope you enjoy regardless. This is also sort of long, soory about that!)

TAG LIST:  @perriewinklenerdie  , @bucket-harrington and @mfackenthal 

SUMMARY: Kendall and Ethan await the result of there first diagnostic case together. With hours to kill on the observation deck, alone together. They both have time to talk and confront things that are being left unsaid between them.

Wait | (Ethan Ramsey x MC)

“You really do find it impossible to sit still, don’t you?” Ethan observed, glancing up from his paper to Kendall who was pacing the front of the observation deck, clearly uneasy and she played with her fingers and fidgeted.

“You noticed?” She asked, quickly glancing down at the surgery unfolding in the operating theatre before quickly snapping her head back as she continued to go up and down the length of the observation window, also right in front of where Ethan was seated, as he worked through the paperwork.

“You’re not going to make time go faster,” He commented, returning to the file in his hands, that he was balancing on his leg.

“I know, I’m just so nervous…” She sighed, even though she continued, picking up speed, refusing to look down at the surgery.

“Rookie, do you think I would have let our patient go through an incredibly volatile surgery on your recommendation if I knew you were wrong?” He pondered out-loud, his words relevant enough for Kendall to stop in her tracks, right in front of his seat.

He looked up at her, peering over his glasses.

“Well, do you?” He repeated.

“No,”

“Then take a breath and then take a seat,” He instructed calmly, pointing to the seat beside him with his pen.

His eyes wandered back to his work and he heard her sit down heavily beside him.

“But what if…?”

“A ten per cent chance of survival is better than zero,” He interrupted, purposely not engaging in any other way and he signed the bottom of his document, “You made the right call, rookie. Now learn to live with it.”

“You’re right,” She gave in.

“I know,” Ethan added, before asking, “I thought I told you to bring your paperwork with you  to finish while we wait,”

“I did, it’s under the chair,” She informed, “I’m just too distracted to even think about doing it,”

“You should work on that,” He commented again, clearly distracted by something different.

There was a beat of silence before Kendall piped up again, “How long has it been now?”

“An hour and twenty-two minutes so we still have fourteen hours and thirty-eight minutes to go,”

She groaned and sank in her seat.

“Why do you think I suggested bringing something to do?” He asked, “You’ll make yourself crazy if you just sit and watch the surgery or in your case fidget and watch the surgery,”

“Sorry,” She whispered, clasping her hand together in an effort to stop.

“Just…” He sighed, feeling bad, “Just relax,”

She nodded.

Another beat of silence and he noticed that she had started holding her breath.

“Are you always this impatient?” He demanded.

“I just have a lot on mind,” She confessed.

“That makes two of us,” He breathed, meeting her gaze for a second, before clearing his throat and continuing, “Rookie, being on the Diagnostics team means having much fewer patients to focus on which means you’ll have to do a lot of waiting for test results, surgeries. Usually, during this time I do other things but since my entire job today is to have one of you interns shadow me as part of this ridiculous fellowship competition, I have been relieved from all my other duties besides Diagnostics. Which is why we are watching this surgery instead of doing something more useful. So can you please start acting like you’re working and not having a nervous breakdown.”

Kendall rolled her eyes but headed his advice, regardless. She reached under her seat and pulled out her first file. Ethan gave her a nod of approval as she opened it up. They sat in a comfortable silence, for the first time.

“How is the research going?” She asked, remembering she hadn’t heard any updates on Naveen in a while.

“Not as fruitful as I was hoping,” He revealed, “But I still have some other ideas that I need to follow-up,”

“Well, if you need anything I…”

“I know,” He cut off, but he flashed her a grateful smile.

Ethan was acutely aware that things between him and Kendall remained, tense with a lot remaining unsaid even though it was very apparent what both of them wanted. They had both made that clear in the lab even if it wasn’t said. Fighting the inevitable, indeed.

Kendall was infinitely better at pretending she wasn’t disappointed or hurting and acting like nothing had changed. For a few days after it happened Ethan found it hard to even look at her because the guilt was overwhelming. The guilt of almost ruining of there working relationship, her chance at objectively winning the fellowship, her career as well as the guilt of knowing no matter how hard he tried to let her go. He still felt exactly the same way about her as he did on that balcony, in fact, he liked her even more. He liked her more than he should, so much more. But inspire of all the guilt, he didn’t feel guilty about kissing her.

If a kiss was all he was ever going to have with Kendall, in that way, then he was glad it was that one, at that moment. He couldn't help thinking about it whenever he caught her eye and if that continued he knew he was never going to get over it.

He snapped back to reality when he noticed the Kendall was humming softly to herself as she wrote, concentrating intently.

“So, how have you been?”

“How have I been?” He repeated, sceptically, “Are you trying to make small talk with me, Rookie?”

“No, I’m genuinely curious,” She insisted, “I know you’ve been really bust trailing everyone in Diagnostics this week and I was just wondering how you’ve been,”

“I’m not telling you about how the other interns did,” He informed.

“I asked how you were, Dr Ramsey,” She corrected, “I know you were struggling a lot last week with everything that’s been going on,”

“I’m fine,” He insisted, before cautiously adding, “Thank you for asking and for helping me through all of us, I really couldn’t do this without you. Or at least it would be significantly more difficult,”

“You’re welcome,” She chuckled, squeezing his shoulder, and without thinking he leaned into her touch ever so slightly. 

“Besides from that,” He continued, “I won’t say it wasn’t exactly my idea to babysit a different intern every day for a week. Thankfully it’s almost over,”

“I’m the last intern?” She questioned, surprised, “But some haven’t…”

“Only interns that I think actually have a shot at being on my team have had the opportunity to shadow me for the day,” He elaborated, “And that includes you,”

“Well, thank you,”

“Why are you thanking me, I didn’t put in the work, you did,”

“I’m thanking you for recognising my effort,”

“You’re insufferable,” He breathed.

“You say that but you’re the one who decided which patient to give me and you picked this one knowing that it would end up in a long surgery, so you knew I would have to stay with you through the whole thing because I’m shadowing you today,” She deduced, playfully.

“Did you strain yourself coming up with that nonsensical conclusion?”

“Deny it all you want. I know you secretly like me,” She chuckled before quickly adding with a nervous smile, “As an intern, I mean. Not in any other way, of course, I just me…”

“I got that,” He commented sarcastically.

“Right,” She played off, badly.

“I picked this case because one it was urgent and because I knew you were the only one capable of solving it,” He said, finally turning his head to look at her.

“What do you mean?”

“What I’m saying is, you were right, Rookie. I’ve been distracted lately with…everything going on with Naveen and,” He started to explain, clearly uncomfortable as he shifted in his seat, turning his head so was he was looking at the surgery and not at her, “And I couldn’t think of what to do in this case, and I figured if  that if anyone was going to have an idea it would be you,”

“Why?”

“Why not, Rookie?” He questioned, “Do you think I made a mistake in hiring you.”

“No,” Kendall argued.

“Here Rookie, tell me,” He demanded, “what diseases has a common symptom of nosebleeds but if left untreated in advance cases leads to both blindness and paralysis?”

“Leprosy,” She responded without thinking, “But that’s an easy one,”

“For you, it’s easy, Rookie. Not for everyone else,” He pointed out, “If you just had a little more confidence in yourself and your ability, you’d be an incredible doctor.  And besides, I trust you and…I knew you wouldn't think less of me for not knowing the answer myself.”

“Nobody always has all the answers,”

“I used too,” He sighed, “As soon as you suggested the surgery it clicked and I didn’t why I hadn’t of thought about it sooner,”

“You’ve been going through a tough time,” She insisted.

“That isn’t an excuse,” He dismissed.

“Yes, it is,” She stated, “You can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first,”

“That is…” He paused before continuing, “A rather basic analogy from you, Rookie. I expected better,”

Time wore on and the surgery continued into the night. The long shifts had caught up to Kendall as she now had splayed out over several seats, sleeping. Her own lab coat tucked under her head as a pillow. And Ethan had put his own over her, as the room was cold. He’d finished his own paperwork and had started on hers. The least he could do, he convinced himself, after he had kept her distracted for the past few hours before she slept.

Perhaps it was the combination of the silence, the time he had on his hands, the long conversations they’d just had and the fact she was sleeping so soundly, so peacefully, beside him, that he indulged himself in his thoughts, his feelings.  

About her, of course. Kendall Archer, the one and only.

How do you even know if someone is the right person for you?

Ethan had always accepted the fact that love and the act of falling in love could happen. Of course, it could, he’d seen it happen with colleagues and friends of his and only a couple ended in divorce. There was legitimacy to the idea of falling in love, it was a plausible idea.

It could happen,sure, but Ethan had never considered that it might happen to him.

What are you saying? You’ve only known her a couple of months.

But even when he was Harper he always assumed his life would follow the same path as, Naveen.

That was, of course, until she arrived.

Ethan likes to think of Kendall as his own personal tornado. She had crashed into his life, a reckless devastatingly perfect storm.  

Reckless.

Kendall knew herself well enough that she needed to stop thinking in order to get things done though that never stopped her from worrying endlessly as soon as it was out of her hands again after the fact. Ethan was the opposite, methodical, always weighing up the risk-reward. But Kendall acted on knowledge, emotion, happy to accept the repercussions of doing the right thing. Before you arrived, Ethan never thought he needed to change. He had won, master the game, why would he need to? But she showed him that being reckless wasn’t scary or even inherently going to end in disaster. It could be exhilarating, freeing, it made him feel alive. Even if it was the reason why they were in this mess.

Devastating.

Kendall had devastated the foundation of what everything Ethan thought to be true. Challenging his belief system entirely, all of sudden there was this glimmer of belief that he deserved more. And she did that by just being herself. Ethan hadn’t ever thought about safe he played his life until he met her. Kendall lived optimistically with hope, belief and that took a lot more strength than he had ever imagined. You had to be vulnerable to live every day at risk of everything going wrong. But she lived that way, maybe because she knew no different or maybe because she knew life is too fragile to play it safe and be pessimistic.

Perfect.

He hated admitting it. Everything he had found irritating about Kendall when they first met, her annoying habits, her grievances, her quirks, had become endearing to him. Making up who she was, he wouldn't change anything about her. Because if he did, she wouldn't be Kendall anymore. She’d be like the other interns. He liked everything about her, the way her mind worked often in fifteen different ways at once, the way she talked with that west coast edge, the way she felt so intensely for everyone around her, the way she smiled like her sole mission was to light up the room, the way she looked at him. Like he was special and the only person she could see. She was perfect. Perfect for him.

A storm.

Like a rainstorm after a drought. Kendal was inherently good but if you dug deeper it was evident to see that there was darkness and destruction within her. She carried more guilt than he could ever imagine. The guilt of being healthy, the guilt of being alive. She battled with inadequacy, she was bright and capable, more than anyone else he had ever met and yet she couldn't identify it in herself. She doubted herself endlessly. And the more he got to know her, the clearer it became for all the love Kendall carried it in her heart and spread to those around her, she never extended any of it to herself. In spite of all that though she remained hopeful. She believed, she believed in him and not just Ethan Ramsey everyone thought knew but the actual person he was.

Kendall was his tornado all right and there was nowhere he would rather be than her warpath.

When Kendall woke up a few hours later, she was alone with Ethan’s jacket wrapped around her. The surgery continuing below her, she noticed that the staff had rotated and she caught Bryce’s eye. She gave him a wave and winked back at her. With a laugh, she turned to the stack of files left in Ethan’s seat. On top was a note.

Getting Coffee. Try to keep our patient alive while I’m gone, Rookie.

Kendall snorted before glancing back at the surgery just to double check. She smiled to herself after she was satisfied everything was fine. It was moments like this that made her think back to who she was when she first started medical school. That Kendall couldn't ever even have imagined being where she was today, an intern at Edenbrook, in the lead of the competition to earn a spot on the Diagnostic team she’d dreamed on being on. Working with the man who had written the book she always kept on her desk as a reminder of why she was doing this in the first place.

In a weird way, Kendall had never expected to really meet Dr Ramsey. Sure she assumed that she would meet him someday, at a book signing, a medical conference maybe even after she got accepted to Edenbrook all she had expected was to see him in the hall from time to time. But not this, never this, this was beyond her imagination. And yet here she was, working with him, they were collages, friends and more even if they couldn’t talk about it.

The funny thing was the more she had gotten to know Ethan the less of hero he became in her eyes. She still idolised him professionally but he wasn't her hero anymore as she realised that the picture she had painted of him in her head was far from the actual person. Ethan Ramsey was more than the world-renowned doctor everyone knew. He was a person and maybe that’s why he struggled with the attention do much. She figured that going from an outcast that didn’t get on to everyone to a doctor that everyone wanted to know, was a big adjustment especially for him. Which is why she made a point not to hold him up to the expectations of the person she had imagined him to be but the person he actually was.

And to her, that Ethan, the one she knew today was the one that deserved to be idolised. The Ethan she knew had a big heart even if he showed it in an unconventional way, he cared about those who were close to him and his patients. He was fiercely protective and she was sure there was no obstacle he wouldn't face for them. The Ethan she knew was funny, she remembered fondly how intimidating he seemed to be when they first met with his cutting insults and mind games but now she enjoyed his dry humour even when it was aimed at her. He made her laugh a lot and she wasn’t quick-witted enough to think of a comeback so it was by default her only response. The Ethan she knew made her feel worthy, sure he would question her ability but that was only when she was questioning herself or not working hard enough. He for some reason thought she could do incredible things in this place and sometimes she didn't understand why. He thought she was special enough to be given a chance and she sure as hell wasn't going to blow it. He made her feel like she could do anything if she worked for it. She liked that even though he thought he couldn't change the world anymore that she might be able to.

Yeah, you could say Kendall liked Ethan.

She liked Ethan a lot.

“Here you go Rookie,” Ethan said offering her coffee as soon as he reentered the observation deck.

“Is this from your office?” She asked, taking the drink from him with a grateful smile.

“Of course,” He responded, sitting back down beside her as you sipped, “Did you sleep well?”

“Not, well enough,”

“Well, you woke up on time, they should be finishing up soon,” He informed.

“Can I ask you something?” She inquired, pulling the mug from her lips.

“Could I stop you even if I said no?” He retorted, watching the surgery intently.

“Why did you let me sleep?”

“I don’t recall you asking me my permission before you did,” He responded, cuttingly.

“But you could have easily kept me awake and it just doesnt seems like you to let an intern sleep on the job,”

“That would have been cruel,” He offered, confused, “You were tired, I remember what it was like being an intern. I figured letting you sleep would be the nice thing to do after everything especially. I even…um…did your paperwork while you were sleeping too.”

“Why would you do that?” Kendall asked, taken aback.

“Because I owe you one after everything you’ve done,” He offered before adding annoyed, “Most people would just say, thank you,”

“I am thankful,” Kendall reassured, sighing heavily she added, “It’s just would you do that for any other intern?”  

“No,”

“That’s the problem,”

“What are you getting at, Rookie?”

“You're the one…” She began hesitantly, “That wants to pretend that there is nothing between us. So why do you keep treating me differently? Like I’m special.”

“I’m not giving you special treatment,” He stated, the tone of his voice making it clear that there was no question about it, but then he continued and he wasn’t as collected as was before, “But you are different. You know that Kendall. You aren’t like the other interns to me. I trust you. You’re the only one that knows about Naveen’s condition and where he is. My helping you is my thank you for being my partner on this and that’s the reason we are close. Closer than we should but that's how it is now…When we’re together I don’t think about the fellowship at all,”

“Is that what you’re telling yourself?” Kendall said without thinking, helpless to the aftermath.

“Why wouldn’t I?” He interrogated, unconvincingly to Kendall at least.

“You know what it's okay,”

“What's okay?”

“It's okay, I’m fine with waiting,” She stated, smiling sadly at him.

“For what?” He questioned.

“For you to figure it out,” She admitted, reaching over and giving his hand a gentle but brief squeeze, “I'll wait for you to figure it out, not forever but I'll wait for you.”

“Kendall I…” His voice hitching as soon as she retracted her hand, he had forgotten how much he craved her touch.

“I think they're done,” Kendall interpreted, as the intercom crackled.

Without a word Ethan walked over, leaving her sitting there in anticipation. Soon he turned back round to face her.

“Well, how did it go?”

“The surgery was successful,” He informed.

As soon as he did, she beamed brightly, jumping out of her seat. Immediately hugging him tightly in pure bliss.

“Rookie,” Ethan warned, as he stumbled back.

“Sorry,” She apologised, jumping away from him but the smile still fixed on her face, “I have to go and hug everyone on that surgery team,”

“At least let them change first,” He called after her, as she darted towards the door, he waited a second before following her down, the smile on his face only comparable to the one she had on hers.

We Survived the Crisis, Babe

This week on I Like Hurting My Characters: We have Chapter 3!!

Here are some handy links so y’all don’t have to go digging: Chapter 1, Chapter 2

ao3

Lemme know if you want to get on the taglist, as always! 

Chapter 3 - Ethan

Ethan tried to sit up but immediately gasped in pain and laid back down. Apparently, the Friendly Black and White monster’s powers did not extend to healing cuts, bruises and stab wounds, though he figured he shouldn’t be ungrateful. After all, he was alive. However, he was currently lying in a concerning puddle of, presumably, his own blood, which did not bode well for his future survival.

Think. He had to think. Take stock of his situation. It had never been Ethan’s strong suit, but now it was necessary. For Lex and Hannah’s sake.

He took a few deep breaths, enjoying how good it felt to be able to breathe again.

He lay on the ground, near the bench where he and Hannah had sat after he’d gotten thrown out of the Cineplex. His head still felt fuzzy but didn’t hurt quite as much as it had before, so that was good, maybe he hadn’t suffered permanent brain damage. It really hurt to move his left arm, though not his right. Okay. One out of two wasn’t bad. The gaping knife wound in his side: definitely a problem. He needed to stop the flow of blood, or he would pass out, or worse, die again. Friendly Black and White Voice had helped him once, but Ethan knew instinctively that it was up to him now. If something happened, she wouldn’t be able to bring him back a second time.

His hand brushed his flannel, still somehow wrapped around his waist. Not ideal, but it would do for a bandage until he could find something better. His fingers fumbled with the knot around his waist, and after a lot of painful fiddling, it came undone.

Now for the hard part. Ethan bit down on the sleeve of his leather jacket, hard, and slowly, excruciatingly, pushed himself up into a seated position, so that he could tie the flannel around his stomach. He peeled his t-shirt off of the wound, nauseated by how much effort it took to pull it away. He made a point not to think about the fact that the wet sticky stuff was his own blood.

Slowly, very slowly, he wrapped the flannel around the wound and pulled it tight. It killed his bad arm, but the pressure helped to ease the pain in his side slightly, and hopefully, it would stop the bleeding.

Ethan scooted so that his head rested on the bench’s armrest and sat there for a few seconds until the pain went from pure torture to, well, less torturous, then, using the bench for support, he staggered to his feet. He had to find Hannah, then Lex.

Oh, God, Lex. Toy Zone had been where this mess all started, and she was caught in the middle of it. She might not even be alive.

Ethan pushed the thought from his head. He would see Lex Foster again. She could take care of herself, and he had promised her to look after Hannah. That was a promise that he was going to keep.

“Hang in there, Banana.” He said to the empty mall. “I’m comin’ for ya.”

Ethan set off in the direction of the Marshall’s.

When he was closing in on the Playplace, he heard Hannah scream. He picked up speed, going as fast as his tired, beaten body would allow.

“Banana Split?” He called desperately as he reached the entrance. No reply. Ethan’s heart sank.  “Hannah? Are you here?”

He saw hesitant movement at the back of the McDonald’s. A small figure, with a backpack, a hat, crawled out of the kiddie tunnel and stood on the opposite side of the ball pit from him. Ethan’s heart soared. She was okay! She was here, and she was okay!

He reached out with his good hand and smiled. “What’s shakin’, Banana!”

Hannah yelped and moved back. “No! Bad!”

Ethan furrowed his brow. Hannah had never reacted to him like this before, not even the first time they’d met. Then he remembered that he probably looked like a zombie extra on The Walking Dead, which may have been a little bit scary for a small child.

“Sorry, Banana Split,” Ethan said, going to move around the ball pit to get to her. “I know I probably look kinda scary right now, but I promise that I’m gonna be okay. We gotta get going. Stick together, you know? We gotta find Lex and get the heck out of this mall.”

“No! Not Ethan! Bad Double!” Hannah screamed. “Ethan died! Webby told me Ethan died! You’re not getting Wiggly!”

Now Ethan was even more confused.

“Hannah, what do you mean ‘Bad Double?’ I know you’re scared, but it’s me, it’s Ethan. I gave you that hat this morning!” He put his hands up in a placating gesture. “I don’t want Wiggly, Hannah. I just wanna get you outta here.”

Even as he said it, the Wiggly doll that inexplicably lay on the ground was whispering in his head. Telling him that if he just took the doll from the little brat, then he could make it to California and beyond. He could go anywhere he wanted.

Focus, Ethan. Nice Black and White Voice returned. Don’t listen to the doll. Focus on Hannah.

Ethan shook his desire for Wiggly off. He didn’t understand how, exactly, but he knew that Wiggly was causing all of this. The men who had attacked him were after a Wiggly doll. Wiggly was bad, and the thing wasn’t worth seven thousand dollars. Hell, it probably wasn’t worth seven.

Ethan mentally told Wiggly to go fuck himself, and he could feel the doll’s presence begrudgingly retreat from his head. He had more important things to do than worry about a stuffed tentacle monster. Like get Hannah out of here.

“You can’t trick me again!” Hannah screamed. “You died!”

“I did.” Ethan didn’t want to scare her, but he had to tell her. “But… But something brought me back so I can save you and Lex. Hannah, I think it might have been Webby. If you don’t trust me, ask her. She’ll tell you.”

If Hannah was going to reply, she didn’t get the chance, because two other people entered the McDonald’s, crazed hunger in their eyes.

One of them was Ethan’s shop teacher - the only one he’d ever actually liked, and the only one who’d ever actually liked him: Mr. Houston. The other was a lady in nursing scrubs that Ethan didn’t know. They both had their eyes fixed on Hannah.

Oh, shit.

“Hello, little girl,” the woman said, as she and Mr. Houston began to snake their way around the edge of the ballpit opposite Ethan. “Why don’t you give us that doll.”

Hannah moved back a few steps.

“Woah, woah, where do you think you’re going, sweetheart?” Nursing Scrubs asked.

“We’re not going to hurt you,” Mr. Houston promised, taking another step around the ball pit and toward Hannah.

Ethan felt useless. He was leaning up against the wall of the McDonald’s. He could feel that the knife wound in his side had started to bleed again. Mr. Houston was taller and stronger than even Ethan in the best of times, if he had to fight, he wasn’t sure if he could protect Hannah, he wasn’t even sure he could limp fast enough to make it to her.

“California.” Hannah’s voice pulled him out of his stupor, and if he hadn’t been so terrified, her determination would have warmed his heart. “I’m going to go to California. And you shouldn’t listen to Wiggly, he’s bad. He’ll trick you.”

“Mr. Houston, she’s right!” Ethan chimed in. “That Wiggly doll is corrupting people, you don’t actually want it.”

The two adults completely ignored him.

“Don’t worry, little girl.” Mr. Houston gave what Ethan figured was supposed to be a reassuring smile, but it just looked like a grimace. “We’re grown ups, we don’t get tricked.”

When Hannah took another step back, Mr. Houston got impatient.

“Listen, kid. I’ve been through hell today tryin’ to get one of those dolls for my son. He’s about your age.” Mr. Houston’s polite mask dropped, and he seemed to grow bigger in the darkness. A monster straight out of a children’s nightmare. “I’d do anything for him. ANY goddamn thing. Even if it means pounding the guts out of a little TWERP! NOW GIMME THAT FUCKING DOLL!”

He wheeled on Hannah, who screamed and ran deeper into the McDonald’s, disappearing into some dark corner.

“Leave her the fuck alone, you assholes,”  Ethan cried desperately. He managed to push himself off the wall and started to move toward Mr. Houston and Nursing Scrubs. “I’m the one you want!”

Again, they ignored him, now consumed in an argument with each other.

“You let her get away!” Nursing Scrubs snapped. “You really are a fucking idiot, aren’t you?”

“Well, I didn’t see you coming up with any ideas, cheer captain!” Mr. Houston shot back.

“Oh, fuck off!”

This was good. If they were consumed with their argument, then maybe Ethan could sneak Hannah out without them noticing.

“Hannah,” He whispered as loud as he dared. “Banana, we gotta go!”

He saw her peek her head out from behind a jungle gym in the back. He gave her an encouraging nod that he didn’t know if she could see, then started forward as quietly as he could, hoping to meet her halfway.

Abruptly, Hannah stopped and ducked, and Ethan turned back to Mr. Houston and Nursing Scrubs, who had finished yelling at each other, and were now scanning the Playplace.

“You see, Tom.” Nursing Scrubs said. “You don’t scream at a child, it frightens them.” She turned with a blissful, insane smile directly towards Ethan, who had to fight the urge to scream like a five-year-old and run away. She almost looked through him.

“You lure them in delicately,” she said as she fished in her pocket. Triumphantly, she pulled out a syringe filled with some kind of blue liquid. Ethan assumed it was a sedative. “And you put them to sleep.”

Oh, hell no. Ethan was the only one that would be doing drugs here. 

“Little girl?” Nursing Scrubs called out in a sickly-sweet voice. “Sweetheart? California?”

Ethan reached down to the ball pit, wincing in pain as the movement agitated the wound on his stomach, and closed his fist around one of the rubber balls. Straightening, he chucked it at the wall farthest from Hannah as hard as he could. It gave a satisfying thwack when it hit, and Mr. Houston and Nursing Scrubs twisted towards the noise and made their way towards it,

“Do you want to play with me, lovely girl?” Nursing Scrubs said in a soothing, singsong voice. It could have been mistaken for a lullaby if not for her sinister tone and the needle she so subtly hid behind her back. “Do you want some candy, my lovely girl?”

Ethan saw Hannah poke her head out, and he gestured to her to hurry up. She hesitated, obviously still wary of him because of whatever she had seen. She closed her eyes for a moment.

Somehow, Ethan heard her thoughts.

Webby? Is it Good Ethan?

Yes, Hannah, it is. The same female voice that had saved Ethan in the Black and White replied to her. Ethan had been right, it had been Webby. Apparently, since he had died, he now had some sort of connection to the Black and White.

Hannah opened her eyes and smiled at him. She didn't need words for Ethan to know that she trusted him again. They were back on track. She started to move towards him, but her hesitation had been a second too long.

“Hey, Becky,” Tom said, turning back from the wall where they had found nothing. The woman with the syringe turned to look at him. “There she is.”

“Hannah!” Ethan cried desperately. “Come on! Hurry! I gotta get you out of here!”

Hannah made up her mind and sprinted towards Ethan. As she began to run, Tom and Nursing Scrubs, who apparently was named Becky picked up speed and started to gain on her.

“Come on, Hannah!”

Hannah reached Ethan, and he moved aside to allow her to move past him on the edge of the ball pit. She scurried past the ball pit and to the entrance and turned to wait for him.

He started after her, stumbling as fast as he could. He had almost made it to the entrance when Hannah’s eyes widened.

“Ethan!” She yelped. “Run! Fast!”

He didn’t need to turn around to know that Tom and Becky were right behind him. He tried to run, though every step hurt. He wasn’t nearly quick enough. Even in the best of times, Mr. Houston was faster than he was.

Ethan cried out as Mr. Houston grabbed his bad arm, as all the pain that had been subsiding came flooding back. Mr. Houston’s other hand pinned Ethan’s arms to his sides.

“Aww,” Becky Nursing Scrubs said in that same sickly-sweet voice. “Poor boy. You’re hurt. Let me help.”

“No!” Ethan struggled, but to absolutely no avail. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Hannah, once again frozen in shock. “Mr. Houston, please, let me go,” he begged. “It’s me, it’s Ethan Green. Ethan. You know me, Mr. Houston, I was in your shop class, snap out of it! Don't do this! Mr. Houston -”

“I don’t know you!” Mr. Houston snapped. “All I know. All I want is Wiggly. Now shut up.” He turned to his partner. “Becky, would you hurry up and stick him? He’s keeping me from Wiggly and it’s pissing me off!”

Ethan was absolutely helpless as Becky jammed the needle into his neck. He felt his eyes closing. The world going dark once again, and that same rush of panic that he’d had before welled up. Mr. Houston dropped him like a sack of potatoes on the mall floor.

“Run, Hannah,” He murmured. He had no idea if she could hear him. “Run.”

“No!” Hannah started running back toward them. Wrong direction, Hannah. “Not leaving again! Gotta stick together!”

Mr. Houston grabbed her just as easily as he’d grabbed Ethan, locking her in his arms so she couldn’t escape.

The last thing Ethan saw before he blacked out was Becky raising the needle over Hannah’s head, he made a noise of despair as she brought it down. Then something surprising happened. She missed Hannah completely and stabbed her own leg with the needle, immediately collapsing next to Ethan.

Huh, that was weird.

Then everything faded.

[starlitblues]

boy howdy that sure was A Year huh?? i went through a whole bunch of interests (read, attempts at raising my dopamine flow), met some great new people, and most importantly lived to see what's hopefully gonna be a better year. and i couldn't have done it without everyone below the cut <3

first off ofc we have rieley @uniformbravo - my bestest friend forever and ever?? we celebrated our 10th year friendaversary this year and it feels like it's been like two weeks and yet two centuries. you're seriously one of the most talented people i've ever met in my whole life, and i love you so so so so much. you're 100% the kendall to my logan 💚

second we have my bestie rae @piecesofpeachx ! you seriously are such a peach, a complete angel in every sense of the word. every day with you in my life makes me unbelievably happy. i can't wait for more writing and squealing over everything in the world with you! you're the calum to my michael 🧡

next up is a new friend but quickly becoming one of the most important people in my life, rooney @neuroweird. seriously how would i have made it through without your wisdom and support? you're incredible in every single way and don't ever forget it, the ben to my joe 💚

my darling aly @koospell !!! idk why it won't let me tag you but ! you're seriously so sweet, a shining star in my life. you make me laugh every time we talk and i can't wait for us to take over disney together someday. you're the koo to my hobi 💛

lillian @sweetlykissedadora !!! i know we both had it kind of rough this year but i think that will just make us even stronger in the future. you're so kind and give off such regal energy, it's amazing. you're the barba to my carisi ❤️

CHRISTMAS PLANS (DECEMBER RP)

for christmas to work properly, all characters HAVE to be living in violet springs for it to work so this is where mine will be staying/their christmas season plans once the academies close for christmas. 

BRETT

it’s unlikely dallas will be in town, but he’ll be staying in their old flat. at this point, he’s pretty used to spending the holidays on his own. it’s only really been the past year with ally where he didn’t.

THEA AND JUDAH

they’d be killed if they didn’t go home to their parents for christmas anyway. i can imagine blake and christelle having plans for nearly every day in december and i feel like they have very family orientated, fun and crazy holidays.

PETER 

similar to thea and judah, but more out of obligation :’) i think he enjoys coming home though and doesn’t have THE WORST relationship with mason and especially kendall, i feel like he’d have time for her.

ETHAN

at home with imogen, nate and emmett. i feel like he definitely doesn’t go with them to like disney’s house or anything like that on christmas and probably just sloths out at home when he’s not out seeing friends. 

AIDEN

back to his mother’s. i feel like he has quiet christmases and will probably just find a holiday job to tide him over.

ROWAN

he loves coming home to annoy his parents. he’ll be on the first flight back to violet springs on december 1st lmao.

NICOLAS

i need to work this out with meg but i imagine him and brielle come home for the holidays and they all do things as a family? they probably see maria and rory and soraya and julian quite a lot during this time too.

JAMES

margo is DEFINITELY NOT in town for christmas ever. i feel like he stays with his grandparents and MAYBE sees jean and harvey? but i feel like they’re not close enough for him to spend most of his time there.

COREY

he lives with tate anyway. i feel like it’s quiet and he’s mainly there because he doesn’t get on with his mum but they’re both chill people, so it’s not like it matters too much.

HUDSON AND BEN

living between disney x brody and kendall x mason. i feel like hudson’s used to it and has probably been with them all for a few christmases though, whereas ben, i feel like going skiing, having the massive gatherings etc. etc. etc. will leave him like “????” but they both enjoy it and have nothing against any of their family.

MAVERICK AND SABRINA

with their parents. christmas isn’t as glamorous as with the carmichael’s but they have good fun and take the holiday seriously. they’ll definitely be around.

JOSIE

she FINALLY goes home to kyle and brielle and i think she just crashes but also puts on a brave face so they don’t worry about her. i highly doubt they’d see any of brielle’s family...even elysia tbh, but they probably do see kyles? i think josie just likes the comfort of being home and not worrying about 100 other things.

LUCINDA

because of how shit all of elysia’s christmases were, i feel like lucinda gets SPOILT. el would pay for her to go shopping, on all of the trips and have all of the best things. elysia and brielle don’t speak because i think brielle would’ve taken issue with just how spoilt lucie is, and elysia would’ve probably been quite harsh on bri about how she wasn’t the one who got abandoned living with their dad, so yeah. definitely not associated with each other anymore.

LAVENDER

she and miles usually live in LA but would come to the springs to stay with patricia and james for the holidays. 1) because miles is lazy and doesn’t want to do anything himself LOL but 2) because i think it’s the main time lavender gets to be around ALL of her cousins and aunts and uncles, so they’d never miss it.

YASMINE

similar situation to brett! yulia’s not around so she’ll be home alone and probably try her best to make the best of it/visit friends where she can. i feel like yulia would feel obliged to see her on christmas day but would dip again lol.

DELILAH

usually eloise keeps her away but since she’s reconnected with her sisters more, she’d take delilah into the springs to visit all of her cousins but not her grandparents. they’d probably share their time evenly between zara’s house, felicity’s house, lacey’s house and amber’s...but would probably sleep at lacey’s just because it’s just lacey and harley so there’s more space for them?

CALLIE

rory and maria definitely have things planned for her! she’d spend time with both sides of the family and being an only child, i feel like she lowkey loves having the attention from both parents. but yeah! another one lucky enough to have nice and family orientated christmases.

KITTY

i think her and river live in wales? so i’d have to plot a reason for the four of them to be in st judes this christmas...maybe visiting grandparents? i’ll work it out with synn! 

FLEUR

she’s part of the big festivities lmao. you all know how it goes for the carmichaels a this point.

KIRA

with vanessa, just the two of them! again though, they’ll see soraya/natalie/maria.

WREN

the bishops definitely have a very formal christmas and still live in town so! 

GRAYSON

idk much about his background yet but to make life easier for me, darius lives in VS so he’ll be there

Big Time Rush: Small Talk | Ficlet | Katie Knight x Patrick Jackson (OC) / Patie

By: Rhuben

A/N: For Ethan; to keep your mind off things for a bit. Set during Season 2, Episode 25; “Big Time Contest”

Katie let out a sigh when the final beats of the song she was dancing to, ended. The smile on her face instantly dropped and she took a menacing step towards Bobby, who had been trying to reach her, the whole time.

Kendall, who spotted the charged look on his sister’s face, tightened his grip on the leash he had been using to hold Bobby back. Forget about letting him go the second the dance was over, the little brat was now his human shield.

“You!” Bobby’s demeanor immediately changed. With one syllable from Katie, he had gone from hyper-actively trying to reach her, to standing stock still, afraid to move. “Your dance is over, buster. I kept my end of the deal.” She jerked her thumb to the side. “Beat it!”

“But-”

“And go tell that reporter lady that you had an awesome day with Kendall, or I’ll shove all my gaming systems up your nose,” Katie warned, “sideways.” Bobby nodded vigorously and, feeling the slack that Kendall left in the rope, he took off running.

“Ow!” Kendall groaned, lifting his palms to his mouth. “Rope burn.” He started blowing on his hands. “Ow, ow, ow.”

“Serves you right,” Katie huffed.

“I’m sorr--”

“You better be,” Katie said, pointing a warning finger in Kendall’s face. His eyes widened, going cross as he kept his eyes on her finger. He had learned the hard way; her go to move as a baby was to poke him in the eyes. And he thought the hair pulling was bad. One corneal abrasion was all he needed to experience to know that Katie Knight was someone who was going to be able to hold her own. “I love you idiots, but that’s the last time I do something like that to save your behinds!”

“I love you, baby sister,” Kendall said with a  fleeting smile. “I’ll never do that again. Promise.”

Katie crossed her arms over her chest, scrutinizing her older brother before she relaxed her posture, allowing a soft smile to grace her face. “Love you too, big brother,” she said. Then, turning on her heels, she finally made her way off the dance floor.

Dances were stupid, anyway. It wasn’t like she had ever looked forward to them back home in Minnesota. No one would even ask her, anyway. And she would have a better time at home playing her video games. Not even a magazine party was all it seemed cracked up to be. Not that she had entered any of those contests. Not a lot of them, anyway. Besides, it wasn’t like she was ever going to have her name drawn as a winner.

Katie Knight was not a winner. She had gotten a commercial job since moving out to Los Angeles, sure. But, nothing after that. And her plan for being the greatest talent manager in the world -- and future world domination -- wasn’t exactly working out for her at the moment. Hell, the only way she got a dance with a boy (a boy that drove her nuts), was through a bribe. Forget asking any guy for a dance. And forget about anyone asking her.

Katie’s gaze briefly shifted over towards Patrick; who sat in one of the many chairs lining the dance floor. His arms were crossed over his chest, legs stretched out, crossed at the ankles. Forget him, she reminded herself, no guy like him would ask you to dance, either. Not that she really liked dancing, anyway. Or even knew how to dance with a guy. She was more the “spend time at the punch bowl” type. The “I don’t know what to do with my hands” type

What better way to solve all those problems, then by hovering by the punch bowl?

“Is it any good?” The voice was so close to her

Katie went to turn, answer the question, and swallow all at the same time. Upon spotting Patrick standing so close to her, having to lean in to shout the question into her ear, she felt the punch catch in her throat, her muscles spasm, and then she was coughing it all back up. She scrambled for napkins, she was glad that the lights had been turned down a decent amount or her red cheeks would be on full display.

“Oh, geeze.” They both reached for the stack of napkins, her hand brushing across the back of his. She quickly jerked her hand back. She closed her eyes. Made a face.

At her clumsiness. At the fact that standing this close to a boy could make her lose her composure. She could intimidate people with her brash nature. How often had her mom told her that the kids may just be intimidated by her being so outspoken? Her direct attitude? Mrs. Knight had often reassured her that they weren’t negative traits to be had if she were to be a talent manager.

But, she wasn’t there, yet. So, was it a bad thing? Is that why she didn’t really have any friends?

“Here.” Patrick handed her the wad of napkins, his hand hovering for just a moment over the wet spot on her shirt before thrusting it more towards her chin. “Sorry.”

“It’s...sweet,” Katie managed to get out. She lifted her cup to her hide her mouth, as much of her red cheeks as possible. “I mean, the punch is sweet. This--” She grabbed the napkins from his hand, and circled the wet spot on her shirt with the wad. “This is ok. I mean, it’s ok.”

“Sooo, you and Bobby...?” He let the sentence hang in the air.

Katie rolled her eyes. “He promised Kendall and those other idiots to talk about how awesome of a day he had on his ‘date’ if I danced with him,” she replied. Patrick’s eyebrows shot up. Angling his head to the side, he looked around the dance floor, trying to locate the kid. A muscle in his jaw tightened, and Katie was reminded of earlier in the day, when Bobby had tried to kiss her:

“Ew, gross!” Katie had recoiled at Bobby’s brazen approach. As soon as Kendall had gone off to get smoothies, he had turned around and tried turning up the charm. As if bragging about his “guns” wasn’t bad enough. “What the heck, dude?”

“Oh, come on,” Bobby had said, the wide smile never leaving his face. “I know you like me.” He leaned forward, puckering his lips, squeezing his eyes shut. Katie took a giant step back, and Bobby stumbled forward, missing his target.

“Do that again, and I’ll punch you,” she had warned. Her heartbeat quickened in her chest. No one had ever taught her how to get out of a situation like this. Violence was usually her go to. “Just leave me alone. I didn’t even want to hang out with you in the first place!”

“Worth the risk,” Bobby had said with a shrug. He took another step forward and Katie jumped backwards, bumping into something behind her. She felt a pair of hands grab her arms, steadying her, then heard Patrick say from behind her, “She said to leave her alone. Beat it; before I beat you!"

"What? Is he your bodyguard or something?" Bobby had asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Katie glanced up at Patrick (whom she realized was still holding her steady) who slowly blinked in Bobby's direction - his eyes narrowed slightly, face taught with annoyance. Jaw a straight line. He made a show of making a cracking sound with the gum he was slowly chewing. He looked down at Katie before releasing her, releasing a breath of air through his nose, stepping to the side and sliding his hands into his jeans pockets. Finally, he had opened his mouth and said, still looking at her, "Only when she wants me to be."

“Thanks, but I don’t need your help,” Katie had said to him, before turning back to Bobby and throwing a punch at him that landed on his

“Ow!” Bobby had groaned, grabbing his face. As he rubbed the sore spot, he smiled, impressed. “You’ve got an arm; Bobby likes!”

“Argh, get lost!” Katie had growled, throwing her hands into the air. Bobby looked back and forth between Katie and Patrick, opened his mouth, decided against whatever it was he was going to say, before rushing off, still rubbing his face. Katie pressed her lips together, turning towards Patrick. “Um, thanks.”

“You had it handled,” Patrick had said with a shrug and his lopsided smile. “I was just backing you up.” He then removed his game console from his back pocket. “Brought my game. Ready to play?”

“Sure!” Katie had replied.

Katie rolled her eyes, looking over at Bobby who was flailing around on the dance floor in his idea of dancing. “There is no me and Bobby,” she said. “I only agreed to this to help those idiots out. And it was just one dance. He signed a contract. Non-negotiable."

Patrick lifted one corner of his mouth into a teasing smirk. "Ok, then, d’you want to dance?” He then hit himself on the forehead with the palm of his hand. “Reckon I have to sign a contract myself, hey?"

"No!” Katie shouted the word louder than she intended to. Luckily the music was already so loud, it wasn’t jarring. “I mean, we can hang out. That's cool." She then lifted her fist and punched him on the arm. Friendly-like, of course.

“You have a nice right hook, by the way,” Patrick said with a chuckle, reaching for his own cup of punch.

"Thanks.” She pressed her lips together, rocking back on her heels. Silence fell over the two of them as they looked around at the other party-goers. “So, uh, nice party, huh?”

His nose wrinkled. “I mean, Gustavo contracted us to perform or whatever, but I only wanted to come to this thing because I knew you'd be here," he said, indicating her with his cup of punch.

"Oh.”

"Yeah, these magazine contest things aren't that much fun,” he explained. “It's just another thing you have to be 'on' for. Can’t really relax with all the bloody cameras around, either.”

“Oh.” Katie lifted her cup to her mouth, biting down on the rim. She closed her eyes at her repetition. She looked around the space, her eyes sweeping over Kendall who was having trouble getting close enough to Bobby (who was still flailing) to get his harness back on, to Carlos who seemed to be having a great time jump-dancing, with his two dates, to the Jacksons who were speaking with Pop Tiger reporters, then to James who was making his umpteenth time up to the chili dog counter. “Well, um, you want to just sit and...” “Talk” was the word that wanted to roll off her tongue, but she was at a loss for what topic to focus on. “And make fun of James all night?”

“Cool,” Patrick gave his lopsided smile. He motioned towards the empty seats lining the dance floor, and Katie stepped past him to claim a seat. He lowered himself into the seat next to her. Katie looked at him out of the corner of her eye. “I’ll make sure Bobby doesn’t try to break your contract, either.”

“Yeah, don’t leave me alone with him,” Katie warned, “Ev-er.”

Patrick put his hands up defensively. “No worries,” he promised.

“I mean it,” Katie said, “you have to take your bodyguard job seriously.” She laughed as she watched Patrick make a V with his index and middle fingers, pointing towards his eyes before he turned it out over the dance floor.

They shared a smile before simultaneously lifting their cups to their mouths to take another sip of punch.

Hope | Ramsey x MC (Kendall Archer)

A/N: I know this sucks but I’ve been having a lot of trouble writing for this blog and just write for my other one. So when I got this idea I just rolled with it. I hope you enjoy. 

Summary: At a meeting with the Hospital Board of Directors Ethan announces who he wants on his diagnostic team.

Hope | Ramsey x MC (Kendall Archer)

“I have decided to nominate Dr Archer for the fellowship,”

“Dr Archer…” A board member repeats right after him, Ethan didn’t know his name nor did he want to know but he knew his face.

“Yes,” Ethan nodded in confirmation, briskly, his eyes glancing over Harper, whose eyes were wide in surprise at his words before looking back at the five board members he was addressing.

He knew who Harper wanted him to pick. She had even told him who to pick. And maybe he should have just listened and perhaps before he met Kendall, he simply would have followed her instruction. Hospital bureaucracy wasn’t something he cared for, it was something he avoided, only indulging in it when he was forced to or when absolutely necessary.

But he was different now.

Everything was different now.

“We were under the impression that you and Dr Emery were in agreement as to who would be nominated for the fellowship,” Another board member, piped up.

“Clearly not,” Ethan stated, still standing at the end of the table, biting back any distaste.

“Well then Dr Ramsey, make your case,”

“I’m not disputing that Dr Aurora Emery, Dr Emery’s selection would not do well in the position and I agree that she has both consistently ranked highly and undoubtedly would be capable of taking the position…but,”

“But…” A nameless board-member encouraged much to his annoyance as he took a sharp breath and collected his thoughts.

No more thinking was needed.

“But,” He continued, his stance strong, his voice stern, “Dr Archer is different.  She has every attribute a good doctor or someone with the potential to be a good doctor should have. Compassion, empathy, perspective and curiosity, And these qualities are more important than the superficial high ranking of interns.  She didn’t come here thinking she was the best or already knew everything, she came her wanting to learn, to be better. Her only competitor herself and the limits she set. During her time here she has consistently shown an ability to handle the harsh realities of working here. She has made mistakes of course but she only makes them once. She has learnt that actions have consequences and that you can’t help everybody. But that doesn't mean she won’t try her hardest anyway. She is a dedicated individual whom I believe would exhaust every avenue three times before even considering giving up. And even then she would try something else. Which is the main reason she is my nomination, being a senior fellow on my diagnostic team means exhausting every avenue no matter how obscure to reach a diagnosis. Her ability to see beyond what is in front of her, think of ideas and make connections, as well as her extensive medical knowledge, is what will help her in this position.”

“Dr Ramsey,” Dr Emery called from down the hallway, causing Ethan to turn around in surprise, stopping as he waited for the Chief of Medicine to catch up.

“Dr Emery,” He acknowledged professionally, in the bustling hallway, “What can I do for you?”

They began to walk in step, everyone making way for them as they made their own way down the hallway to the children’s ward.

“Your intern, Dr Archer?”

“What about her?” He responded, his heart involuntarily racing at the mention of her, though he remained unfazed outwardly.

“She came up to me this morning asking me to manipulate a government subsidiary to provide care for a patient without insurance,” She relayed before explaining the situation fully to him.

“And you’re telling me?” Dr Ramsey questioned nonchalantly, expertly hiding all his emotions.

Impressive job, Rookie, he thought to himself.

“I need you to keep an eye on her for me,” She instructed, “I don’t want her getting the idea that she can go around saving everyone. Someone needs to put her in her place as her attending Physician. I’m giving you that job. You can’t save everyone, make sure she knows that,”

They had continued to walk, stopping at the glass doors of the children ward.

“You want me to stop her from finding unique ways to help people?” He countered, raising an eyebrow at her suspiciously.

“And what happens when she comes across the next patient that doesn't have insurance and she can’t find a way to help? I need her to be realistic and so do you if you want her to stick around,” She stated, before leaving him abruptly to catch up with another doctor down the hall.

Ethan sighed before turning around to the sight of the hectic Children’s ward. His eyes then widened at the sight of Dr Archer, doing a cartwheel for an audience of children all lined up in their beds. He watched for a second before swinging open the door.

“Dr Archer,” He called sternly.

“Yes, Dr Ramsey?” She responded before jumping and turning to look in his direction.

“This is a hospital, not a playground. What are you doing?” He instructed.

“Proving I can do a cartwheel,” She replied, nervously, looking at the kids who were all giggling under their sheets.

“What are you even doing here?”

“Checking up on Ellie here,” She informed, gesturing a small blonde girl no older than seven, “She came into the ER earlier and I promised I would check in,”

“And that involves a cartwheel in the middle of the ward?”

“No,”

“Get back to work, Rookie,”

“Oh, I’m on my break actually. I start again in,” She explained before glancing at her watch, “Five minutes. I should go, kids,” 

“Bye Kendall,” They waved off almost in time as Kendall waved back before slipping out the hard down the hall.

Offering him an embarrassed smile as she brushed past him and began to sped walk back to internal medicine.

And Ethan couldn't help but smile to himself as he watched her go, despite his better judgment.

“And besides that, she has an excellent bedside manner. She knows how to talk to people, patients, everyone. She is a pleasure to work with and has been a pleasure to mentor. She has the capability to mould herself into a truly fantastic diagnostician. She has all qualities to do it as well as some that put her potential above everyone else's. She comes to work every day with the belief that day will be a good one. She has infectious optimism which may not be the first thing you think of when you think you good doctor but it’s what all good doctors should have. She has belief, hope that everything will turn our right.  And she makes those around her believe it too. Not just patients but other doctors. Doctors who haven’t given a damn in years come in with this new found energy to help people. And it’s because of her. I know it because I too have felt it…”

“What about you?” What kind of doctor do you see yourself being in ten years,”

He watched intently as her face creased in momentary thought. Even in the midnight darkness her eyes still lit up as she spoke.

“The kind of doctor who could…make a difference in patent care,”

Ethan smiled in spite of himself, thinking of all she had already done, “More than you do now?”

“I’m only an intern! I do barely anything now,” She dismissed, her signature smile sad in spite of her carefree tone.

“Not true,” Ethan insisted, with a lot more passion than he intended but he made no attempt to restrain himself, “I’ve seen how hard you work for your patients. Even if they don’t always value it, you do make a difference.”

“But not enough,” She persisted, her positive demeanour diminishing with every word that was clearly coming from her deep-rooted insecurity which Ethan knew what obstructed her ability to see her own true potential, “I helped one uninsured patient receive care, but I can’t find loopholes for everyone,”

“Why not?” He demanded, knowing what she needed to hear.

“Because, because,” She almost stuttered, surprised by him, surprised enough that she thought hard about what to say, “Because the entire system needs to change, and I want to be a part of it. I’m going to be a part of it,”

She smiled brightly, any insecurity dissipated, as she radiated optimism…belief.

“And I have no doubt you’ll find a way,” He grinned back at her, any internal resistance he felt dismissed as he allowed himself to be completely armoured with her hope to the point that he could feel it himself.

No matter the unlikeliness of it and no matter what happened next she had made him believe that things could change, even if it was only briefly or for a moment which he knew wasn’t true. He was hopeful that she could do it, do what no one else could. She could change it all, she made him believe.

She made him hopeful.

“She doesn’t use patients as vessels to prove her worth or how impressive she is like Dr Emery and the other interns.” He persisted, the memory fading, “And that’s because she doesn’t need to prove it because she just is impressive. And I’m not referring to her impressive resume, of volunteer work and graduating top of her class at John Hopkins or even her medical knowledge and capability as a young doctor. She is impressive because she walked into these doors wanting to do good. And that is a desire that hasn't wavered.

Med school and inevitably this job train us into forgetting what are patents actually are and why we all because of doctors in the first place. The patients and our desire to help them. They are not cases to judged on the rarity or complexity of the condition they have. They are people, human beings, often in a there most vulnerable state when they come here. And much as they need capable and knowledgeable doctors, they also need another human being to depend on, to trust, to believe in. They need hope that they’re going to be okay and everything is going to be okay.

And Dr Archer gives them that.”

“I’ve exhausted every test, Rookie, what about that do you not understand?” Ethan demanded, getting up and raising his hands in frustration, “I don’t know what else I can do,”

“It’s going to be okay, Dr Ramsey,” She promised, Ethan could feel her eyes on him, despite his best efforts not to look at her, as he looks out the window of his apartment instead.

“You don’t know that,”

“And you don’t know that it won’t be,”

“I can’t let him die, Kendall,” He confessed, quietly, returning to couch, “And I also can’t break his trust. If anyone finds out the truth, he’ll fly to that beach, and I’ll lose any chance I have to save him. I don’t know what to do. I’m only what to do,”

Ethan then proceeded to hunch forward. He could feel her watching him again as he attempted to steady his rapid breathing. Then all of a sudden he feels the ghost of a hand on his knee and then the actual sensation. It was delicate and caused him to tense and stop breathing simultaneously. Though he recovered quickly, finding comfort in such a small act of intimacy.

“I’m here,”

“I know,”

“You’re going to get through this. We are going to solve this,”

“We?”

“I don’t know how much I help I’ll be but perhaps a fresh set of eyes or even a sounding board may help you. But I’m here if you need me, even if its to talk. I know you can do this,”

“You sound so certain,” He scoffed, downing the last of his wine.

“I am certain. I know you can do this. I believe in you,”

“Why?”

“Before we met I probably would have just said because you're the Dr Ethan Ramsey…”

“But now…?” He probed.

“Because the Dr Ramsey I know does everything he can and then some, especially for the people he cares about. You know he even went hunting for a stuffed frog in a storm drain,”

“Did he now?” Ethan almost chuckled, giving a small smile.

“He couldn't have done without me though,” She winked.

“This has never been a competition to her. In fact, she didn’t even want to compete at first and the only reason she did that was because joining my Diagnostic team meant that she would have the opportunity to help the people who need it the most and benefit the most from her knowledge and capability. Not because it means she’s the best intern or for the prestige of the position.”

“Rookie?”  Dr Ramsey questioned, as he switched the light for the supply closet to find Kendall sitting in the corner, her head in her hands.

“Dr Ramsey,” She spluttered, standing up quickly, straightening out her jacket and rubbing her eyes in quick succession, “I was just looking for…”

“Rookie,” He said sternly, repeating himself, not breaking eye contact whilst, picking up her bloodshot eyes, and tear-stained cheeks.

She looked determined for a second longer before she sighed and turned away.

“Okay, you caught me,” She gave in, already defeated, “I was crying in the supply closet,”

“That was obvious,”

“This isn’t a regular thing,” She insisted, taking a deep breath to compose herself,’“ I haven’t cried in here since my first day,”

“Is that what we deem impressive nowadays?” He countered, characteristically, observing carefully, “Your ability to hold it together?”

“No, I just…” She started before sighing and plummeting back to the floor again, heavily.

“Kendall?” He asked, taken aback.

“Dr Ramsey, I’ll be ready for you to lecture me about my lack of emotional control in half an hour but right now…I just can’t,” Kendall whispered, “Can you just please leave me alone,”

Dr Ramsey nodded, before closing and locking the door to ensure they weren’t disturbed. He walked over and sat down on the floor beside her. She had put her hands once again.

“What happened?” He probed, gentler now.

“What are you doing?” She asked, raising her head a little to look at him sideways, her eyelashes damp and she blinked away fresh tears.

“You’re upset,” He stated, pointedly, handing her a handkerchief from his pocket.

“Why do you care?” She snapped, uncharacteristically to the point that she didn’t even immediately apologise after.

“As there is a high chance that you’ve done something that effects me, as your attending Physician, given how upset you are. So what is it? Have you given a patent the wrong medicine, misdiagnosed them or killed them?” He paused for her to answer, but she didn’t, “ I also care about you…”

“You do?”

“Yes,” He responded without thinking, before quickly scrambling to find something to add, “Like I care for all the interns,”

“Right,” She accepted, wiping her eyes.

“So?”

She sighed once again, “Someone turned off my pager,”

“Oh,” He nodded, he had already heard what had happened from a colleague.

“You heard?” She picked up.

“Your carelessness has been a hot topic today,”

“I didn’t…”

“I know,”  He interrupted you, “I’ve seen you quadruple check your pager on multiple occasions,”

“Didn’t do me any good today though,” She brushed off.

Ethan felt his chest tighten at the sound of her feeling so defeated. Her brightness was dimmed and he could feel it physically. He hadn’t realised how much he had started to depend on her positivity to feel good himself.

“This completion isn’t worth it,” She suddenly said, shaking her head.

“Kendall…”

“Someone could have died because I decided to enter this competition,” She continued, breathing heavily, “And it would have been my fault because I decided to chase a dream over doing what I’m supposed to,”

“How could you possibly reach that conclusion?” He questioned, for the first time baffled by her ability to connect things together over amazed.

“I wouldn't be a target if I had joined this stupid fellowship race,”

“You aren’t a target because you joined, you’re a target because you have an actual shot of winning,”

“But it shouldn't be about winning.” She insisted, strongly, “It should be about doing our jobs to the best of our ability and someone earning it honestly, not cheating, sabotaging and putting patients at risk just to win. It’s not worth it. It defeats the whole purpose of doing this job,”

“You’re a good person, rookie,”

“You think I’m weak, don’t you?”

“No,” He corrected, “I think you’re a little naive to think that any of those other interns wouldn't step on your back to get to the top and if it were anyone else I’d say you need to get your act together and deal with it.”

“Then why aren’t you saying it?”

“Because your naivety or should I say your belief that everyone is good, your refusal to accept your position in the rat race to be the best, makes you who you are. And it’s what makes you the best intern, it what makes your competition. You don’t overthink, scheme or sabotage. You just do what you need to because your desire to help people is stronger than any of there desires to be the best. You’re a good doctor, Kendall…,” He responded, before adding despite his better judgement,

“You’re a good person,”

“So what should I do?”

“What you think is right. And don’t let them get to you again.”

“Ethan...” 

“Dr Ramsey,” He corrected, looking away. 

“Right,” She nodded, quickly, “I’m sorry,” 

“Don’t be, I’m sorry for...everything,” He apologised once again.

“Don’t be, I don’t regret it either,” She finally smiled. 

“The only question now, in my opinion, is are we going to be the hospital that fostered the potential of one of the most capable doctors that’s ever walked through our doors or are we going to be the hospital that missed out on that opportunity.”

With his conclusion, the room remained silent. A couple of board members had begun nodding in consideration of his words but no one spoke as they contemplated everything they had just heard.

“Well, Dr Ramsey, you’ve given us a lot to think about. Since there are now two final candidates we’ll reconvene same time tomorrow,” The head announced as everyone stood up and began filling out the room.

Soon only Ethan and Harper remained in the Board-Room.

“What the hell was that?” She demanded.

“My nomination,” He stated, cooly, “I think I made a pretty good argument,”

“We had an agreement,” She reminded, walking over to him with all the command and authority that made her Director, “I thought we agreed…”

“We never agreed, you told me who to nominate,”

“Because she’s always been at number one,”

“In a number ranking, you designed and manipulated,” He breathed, meeting her eyes.

“I would never…” She began to defend, getting slightly in his face.

“Not directly no,” He agreed, “But you ensured she got every opportunity to get there and stay there. She is a good doctor undoubtedly but she would be in the same position as all the other good doctors we have if she wasn’t your niece,”

“Do you really think they’re going to side with you over me after that long waffling speech of yours?” She questioned, her eyes intently staring into his, looking for a weakness or anything that would give him away.

“I’m hopeful,”

“You should know better than to be hopeful,” She scoffed. 

“You should know better than forgetting to be,”
