Unexpected Love (Editing)

Chapter 39

Liliana's pov

"This is getting ridiculous." April says as I walk into the locker room with my gift basket full of pastries. For the last month all of the residents have been interviewing with different hospitals for a fellowship position, I wasn't stressed at all because every hospital I've interviewed with has loved me so far and even been sending me gifts to try to convince me to join there program.

"Cleveland Clinic. Since when does Cleveland Clinic bribe residents to come work with them?" Jackson asks while reading over the card they sent also.

"Oh, they don't, unless you're extraordinary like me." I smile before Alex walks by grabbing a cookie out of the gift basket. "Hey." I say slapping him on the arm.

"Cookies stale." He says.

"Aw, Alex is it hard for you? Having to beg for interviews while some us, meaning me, just sit back and get wooed." I say slapping Jackson on the hand as he helps himself to my food.

"No one is begging." Alex frowns.

"Oh, maybe you should. Maybe that way you'd actually get an interview." April says making me laugh

"I love mean Kepner." Cristina smiles.

"I got an interview." Alex says.

"Oh really, where?"

"At places." Alex says.

"Uh-huh." April replies.

"Whatever. Look this sucks we got boards in a couple of weeks and now they want us to go on freaking job interviews. There's only so much crap a guy can have thrown at him before he snaps." Alex complains.

"There's a trauma coming in on the roof. Kepner, Karev come with me." Hunt says.

"I gotta leave for my northwestern interview in an hour, I told you yesterday." April says.

"Um Avery." Hunt says calling on Jackson.

"Sloan's got me all day, sorry." Jackson apologizes.

"I'm free." I volunteer.

"Great, thank you." Owen says signaling for me to follow him before running to the roof with him and Alex where the air ambulance with the patient is waiting.

"Female hiker found at the bottom of a ravine. Positive L.O.C with obvious head and abdominal trauma, hypothermia, frostbite, you name it." The EMT tells us as we push the gurney into the elevator.

"Airway looks clear." Alex says.

"Weakened pulse." Owen says shining a light in her eyes to check her pupils as she begins to wake up.

"I'm Dr. Garcia, you're in the hospital. Can you tell us your name?" I ask before she starts hyperventilating. "Okay, okay try to calm down for me."

"Let's go, let's go, out of the way." Owen says as we push the gurney out of the elevator and take the patient to CT.

"Okay, I'm going to be right on the other side of that glass, you just try to stay calm." I say beginning to walk away before the patient grabs my arm stopping me and I notice what looks like rope burns and old scars.

"You weren't hiking out there, were you?" I ask and she shakes her head no.

"What's the hold up, Garcia?" Owen asks from the other side of the glass.

"I'm staying in, get me an apron." I say.

"Okay, here you go." A nurse says getting me the apron.

"Okay, I'm gonna stay with you. I'm not leaving, I'll be right here the whole time" I reassure the patient before we run the CT scans. After getting the scans we see old fractures that weren't treated along with the new injuries and take her to the OR.
