Open Heart {Under Revision}

Chapter 45- Triage

"Ask him!" I shouted at Landry, "Say it asshole! Say what you did!"

Landry gritted his teeth which was bloodied and instead just spat on the floor, staying silent. Bryce's face turned into a furious turn and he stepped near me, looking at the bastard on the floor.

"I will break all your remaining teeth..." he trailed off then looked at me, "It was him, isn't it?"

All I could do was just nod. Sienna gasped and yelled, "You tried to kill Charlotte?! Kill our friend?! My best friend?!"

I paced around, looking face to face to my roommates and Bryce, "He snuck off like the rat he is and told to Mrs. Martinez's family that it was me who killed her! Think about it! Why would they directly say my name to Harper! They don't even know me!" I threw up my hands, "And now they are suing the hospital, he was spreading rumors about me, sabotaging my charts and stuff and then..." my voice shook with fury, "HE TRIED TO KILL ME!"

I got down and clutched his collar, "ASSHOLE! DO you know I am the only child in my family! The only CHILD! How could you think to take her away from them?"

What hides behind the lies are truths that failed to get to the light. What lies behind your betrayal may have been honest at first sight. I am confused but I believe everything will come out when the time is right.

Landry looked at Jackie who had a paled face, "Jackie, come on we both know and agreed that its bull shit that Charlotte is number one."

I laughed bitterly. Of all things now, he thought about still ratting the hell about me in front of my friends. But on the other hand...I saw Jackie's face going from pale to red with rage. She moved to my side and kept her hands on her hips.

"Don't you dare to drag me into this. I said I wanted to beat Charlotte fair and square. She is the best competitor I could find and I never wanted to ruin her career."

Sienna was still in disbelief, "How could you Landry?"

Landry spat again to the floor and then glared at everyone, taking everyone's face in, "Are all of you forgetting? Charlotte killed someone!"

Elijah jabbed a finger to Landry's direction, straighting up from his chair, "Did she Landry? I don't think that was what the case and we all know it."

I saw a menance change shifting on Landry's face. It was like he was a complete different person, a person built on the hatred and jealously he had over me. Inside I wanted to kill the way he tried me to but that would not make me feel anything better...God...he tried to murder me...but how?

As if he had sensed the question in my face, he wiped the blood from his sleeve and took a step towards me. Bryce immediately came in front and crossed his arms but the other guy said it anyway, "At first, I thought you were getting preferential treatments but then! You never did what normal doctors should do" he laughed bitterly, "And that's what made you different in the eyes of attendings and senior residents. I thought.." he looked to the floor, "I am not that privileged like you, my parents don't have millions of dollar and high hands of recommendation to get dual degrees, it was always an unfair game! You were already steps ahead of you and Dr. Ramsey? He's like you are the only one here!"

A muscle tickled in my face and I was trying to restrain myself. He continued saying to himself mostly, "But sometimes, when you have favour from your Med School, it could help! I had helped that guy from Yale once and now, thankfully he was in mechanical engineering!"

It was like he was howling alone, trying to keep the final creepiness to it's levels, "That morning in the atrium, Dr. Ramsey spoke my name for the first time and why? Only to insult me because I was just trying to speak my heart out!"
