My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 60
Kyle and I quickly rushed to Central Union Hospital. With each passing second, I was getting more anxious. I was hoping and praying the information I had for Dr. Marsh would change the outcome of Emma’s condition. I had the nurse at the front desk page him and I waited impatiently in the waiting room. I was getting irritated that he was taking so long. Deep down I knew I was being selfish since Emma was not his only patient, but at the time I did not care.Kyle was trying to stop me from pacing back and forth but the look on my face made him back down. When Dr. Marsh finally arrived, my anxiety fizzled out and I felt better. “Miss Greene, I heard you were looking for me. What can I do for you?” Dr. Marsh asked pleasantly. “Can we go somewhere more private. I do not need anyone to overhear what I am about to say.” He nodded and suggested his office.Kyle and I followed Dr. Marsh back to his office. His office did not seem like a doctor’s office but rather a teacher’s. The walls were fi

I was at a loss for what to do now. I was not expecting Ruby’s secret husband to be in charge of the university as well. I was a tad bit pissed off at Kenny at that moment for either not finding this information out or for neglecting to relay it to me.On one hand I could kill two birds with one stone here. Revealing Ruby’s true identity to Tanner both as her husband and as her educator. On the other hand, it was possible that he may already know who she really was. It was definitely a gamble either way. I was a hundred percent in a pickle.He watched me as I stared at him without saying a word. Tanner than cleared his throat before saying, “Uh hum. I am guessing my age comes to a shock to you and it may be throwing you off a bit. Most deans are more seasoned than I am. My great grand father founded this school many years ago. It has been a family tradition ever since to take over as dean when our father before us would retire. As such my father retired last semester so here, we are.”

I rushed back to Central Union Hospital as fast and as safely as I could. Once I arrived, I parked my car and hurried into the main doors. Kyle was waiting for me anxiously. He cared about Emma just as much as I did so he was eager to hear what Dr. Marsh had to say. “I waited for you before getting the information from the doc. I thought we should hear it together. Are you ready to head to his office he is waiting for us there.” Kyle said to me lightly. I took a deep breath and nodded. We made our way past reception and the waiting room. I felt like every step was like walking through quicksand. No matter how fast I walked I felt like I was getting nowhere. After what felt like an eternity, we finally made it to is office door. I twisted the knob and walked in. I was shocked to see April, Emma’s mother waiting along with the doctor. “It is about time you showed up. Natasha, you know I am a busy woman, and the doc here would not tell me why he called me here until you arrived!” April

I was so pissed with myself for not looking into the couple before now. Sure, I was busy with other things, but that was no excuse for letting my guard down. I should have made sure they were who they said they were from the very start! Kyle and I parted ways with April for the time being. He was going to drop me off at the house and then he was going to try to locate the couple who actually adopted Emma’s daughter.I was restless sitting at home. I decided to head back to the hospital. With everything that had been going on I completely forgot to tell Shane what we found out about Emma’s condition. He deserved to know more than any of us did. Once back at central union I first went to check on Emma. Nothing had changed as of yet, but I was hoping now that the doctor knew it was in fact not an aneurysm, they would find a way to cure her, and she would awaken. Dr. Marsh had placed a security guard outside her room who would be there constantly to stop anyone from coming in. That was fo

The nurse instructed me to grab the two towels hanging on the towel rack. She then had me put one under Shane’s head. “Okay I am going to remove the scalpel, once I do you need to use the remaining towel and put pressure on the wound immediately!”I frantically shook my head. “Are you crazy? You can not take that out he will bleed to death!” The nurse rolled her eyes at me. “Do not worry I know what I am doing okay get ready.”I wanted to slap myself. In my panic I forgot she was a trained professional. The nurse counted down to one then pulled out the scalpel. Blood started squirting out of Shane’s neck. I quickly pushed the towel on top of the wound making sure not to cut off his airway. I was trying not to pass out from the sight of the blood.To my horror the nurse said, “Do not stop applying pressure. I need to go get Dr. Marsh. If he wakes up at all do not let him get up. And try to make sure he does not talk either!” Just like that she flew out of the room. I was completely fre

When I woke, I was in a hospital bed and in a daze. It took me a few beats to remember what happened. I looked around the room and saw tony standing there staring out the window.“Tony?” He swiftly turned and came over to me. He grabbed my hand entangling his fingers with mine. He gave me a fuzzy feeling deep in the pit of my stomach. “Oh, thank God you are okay Tash. I am so sorry I was not quick enough to stop that man from hitting you. I subdued him and called Kyle. He sent someone posing as a cop to get him. He took him to the shed behind the cabin.”Tash? No one had ever called me that. I actually really liked the way it sounded on his lips. I squeezed his hand and said, “This is not your fault Tony. You kept me safe from a further assault from him. Where is Dr. Marsh? And did he tell you how Shane is doing?”Tony explained to me that the doctor went home for the evening, but he will be back first thing in the morning to discharge me. He said Shane was okay and he also already le

Dr. Marsh came over to me to try and examine the back of my head and I waved him off. “Doc where is nurse Heidi right now?” Surprised by my tone Dr Marsh said, “She should be out doing her rounds why what is it?” Tony understood immediately and swiftly left the room without the doctor even noticing. “She is the only one who has consistently been in both rooms. Yesterday when you mention there was surveillance from Emma’s room, she looked worried. Now I think I understand why. Is nurse Heidi one of Emma’s nurses?” Dr. Marsh’s eyes grew wide. “I had not even realized that. No, she is not she would not have any reason to be in Miss Whites room at all!” Forgetting I was the patient, and he was the doctor he ordered me to go out to reception and have them page nurse Heidi for him. I did as he said. Though the nurse at the reception area thought it strange, she did as I asked. It must have been the crazed look I had in my eyes. I went back to my hospital room and informed Dr. Marsh I was g

I did not even hesitate for one second and I took off like a bull running straight for Emma’s room. I was ecstatic that the closest person to a sister I had was awake and things were going to get better finally. I rounded the corner and went straight into her room. I had not even realized that Tony was right behind me until I laid eyes on Emma, and he said, “I am so sorry Tash. It seems someone lied to us.”The happiness I was feeling shattered into a million pieces. At first all I wanted to do was cry out in agony, but those feelings quickly turned to pure anger. Dr. Marsh walked briskly into the room and over to Emma. As he was checking her monitors, he turned to us with a confused expression on his face. “I do not understand why they told me she woke up when we can clearly see that is not the case.”“Shit. It is a distraction. It had to be nurse Heidi. She needed us here for some reason, but why?” I said in frustration. Understanding colored Tony’s face. “So, she could leave the ho

Three months later“Mother can you stop trying to make today all about you for god sakes it is my wedding day not yours.” I said to my mother for about the fifteenth time in the last five minutes. I was already nervous as all hell about doing this in the first place and as usual my mother was making everything worse. “Emma, I am not trying to make this about me. I was just saying how ignorant it is for my date to cancel last minute. It is just so messed up I deserve better than this.” My mother said with a scornful tone. I just sighed shaking my head knowing I couldn’t stop her from being the selfish creature she is.“Come on Miss White they are ready for you outside.” Natasha said scooting my mother out the door. I gave her a thankful look and went back to trying to calm myself down. Natasha walked over to me and put her hand on the small of my back. “It is going to be okay Emma. I know marriage makes your skin crawl, but you love Shane, and he really loves you. I don’t think I have
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 138
After I jumped on Ruby’s back everything seemed to be moving in slow motion but at the same time it felt like everything was sped up. I know, I know that seems really confusing, but it was like the world around me was one big blur of movement while it seemed to take me a lifetime to knock her to the ground though my guess is it took mere seconds.Three things happened simultaneously. Ruby fell, her gun went off, and I knew someone had been shot because I was now covered in red specks of blood all over my arms and I could feel them on my face as well. The smell of rust and salt invaded my nostril and made me feel queasy. I couldn’t let it get to me however or Ruby might wind up with the upper hand.I struggled to grab her arms and pull them behind her back. For a small chick she was stronger than she looked, not to mention I just had surgery and my incision from the c-section hurt immensely. Finally, someone noticed how much trouble I was having and came over and kicked Ruby square in
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 137
I knew I had to start talking to Ruby to try and distract her so Kyle could sneak up on her and take her out. “I am really glad you find your psychotic ways so amusing. I mean someone has to think you will get out of this unscathed and why not let it be yourself. After all you have been through so much in these past few months. You lost Shane to a better woman, you murdered your own child, lost your second family, destroyed your career, and so much more but hey at least you can stand there with a grin on your face and be completely content!”Ruby’s face turned into a scowl I guess she didn’t like her short comings being thrown in her face. That was good I wanted to piss her off, so all her focus was on me. She didn’t even seem to realize as I was talking that Shane, Tony, and Natasha started slowly moving away from each other and their current position to situate themselves around her so we could cover her in a five point angle. Ruby stood there momentarily at a loss of what to say to
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 136
Emma:“I know what you are going to say Kyle, but we have to go out there. After all we both know she is here for me, and I am afraid of what she will do if I don’t show up.” I said to Kyle trying to convince him how important this decision was. Kyle sighed and turned his head towards me. “I know you are right but that does not mean I have to like it. The only way I will be comfortable with allowing you to go out there is if you stay behind me understood?”I shook my head at Kyle in disbelief. “You know as well as I do that will not work. She will kill you without a second thought to get to me. Look I have a better idea. I know she is going to talk my ear off before she does anything at all. I want you to go back up these stairs to the second floor and make your way to the other staircase. Once there come back down to this level and come in through the other entrance. My cousin’s eyes will be on me, and she will not see you sneaking up on her. What do you think?”Kyle told me that was

We all began yelling at detective Morris that he just shot Detective Wilcox. “No, no, no! I did not mean it. Jennifer, please tell me you are ok. Jennifer, please answer me!” Detective Morris screamed out in desperation. I called out and said I was going to crawl over and check on her. He gave me the go ahead and I slowly began crawling over to Jennifer being cautious as to not make the detective trigger happy again.When I made my way over to her I first checked her pulse and looked for where she had been hit. “She is unconscious and has a very thready pulse. You struck her once in the chest and once in the torso. You need to get someone in here now to get her and Emma to the hospital. We also have a third person who is injured. He got struck with shrapnel when the explosion happened out the back door.” I said hoping he would understand how urgent this matter was.“Officer down, I repeat officer down. We need two more ambulances aside for the one for Detective Wilcox we have two civi

Of course, it would be her. Who else is psychotic enough to start a shooting rampage through a fucking hospital. I was positive she knew I was here, and she was looking for me. “Kyle, can you see anyone else out there?” I asked not really wanting to know the answer but knowing I had to. Kyle moved his head as far left as he could while still being able to see out of the small rectangular window. “There are a few people lying on the floor. It does not appear that anyone is hurt. Ruby is out there pointing the gun at people and yelling but I can not hear her through the door. Holy shit! This is so fucked. Miss Emma, I do not want to alarm you, but Shane Tony and Natasha are out there!Natasha:Hello again dear reader. I know I said you would not be hearing from me again, however when I wrote that we thought everything was coming to an end and that I would not have anything to tell you that Emma could not. We were very wrong on that front seeing as while Ruby came into the hospital firin
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 133
Kyle and I took an immediate left and half walked have sprinted down to the elevators. Not surprising they were turned off. It makes sense that they would deactivate them with an active shooter on the premises. It Would be harder for them to get to a different floor. We headed over to the door for the stairs and headed through. Neither of us knew exactually which floor the NICU was on, so we decided to go to the highest level and work our way down. Along the way we stopped so Kyle could smash the glass on the fire ax box that was in each stairwell. He took the ax and led us the rest of the way up the steps. We went through the access door once we reach the top and walked through. We found ourselves in a hallway with doors every six feet or so on each side. I walked up to one of them an read the plaque on the wall. “LAB NUMBER THREE: REASEARCH AND DEVELEPOMENT”. Since the entire hall had these same type of rooms, we decided this was the wrong floor and there were no patients up here, s
My Own Worst Enemy chapter 132
Dr. Marsh and i exchanged looks before he told me to go lock myself in the bathroom. like that was going to fucking happen! There was currently someone inside the hospital shooting at people or something of that nature. There was no way i was going to stay here like a sitting duck. I sat up and slid off the bed. I located a bag in one of the chairs with my cell phone, socks, and shoes. I pulled out and put on the socks and shoes than I tried calling Shane. The phone just went to voicemail. The same thing when I called Natasha than Tony. I figured I would try calling Kyle even though I knew it was a long shot since he just had surgery. I was very surprised when he answered on the second ring in a very hushed voice. “Miss Emma! You are okay! Thank the Gods. I would ask about the babies and your health but right now we got a problem. Did you hear those gun shots and those people yelling?” Kyle asked me in one breath. I rolled my eyes and said, “Of course I heard it. I’m in the surgery w
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 131
My eyes grew wide as the realization of what Dr. Marsh just said to me sunk in. two friends went into surgery and only one made it out alive! I knew one of them had to be Kyle. We did our best to make sure his wound was closed but as far as I knew he was the only one hurt. Who the fuck died! “Dr. Marsh. I only knew of one of my friends who was hurt so let us start with the good news first. Who made it out of surgery?”Dr. Marsh looked at me with pity in his eyes. I did not like the way he was looking at me it made feel uneasy like he was about to tell me my word was over. Which I guess could be possible if the person he told me died was Shane. It could not be him! I hated not knowing what happened and I could not take much more of this. If it was the love of my life, I do not think I would ever be able to bring myself to get out of the hospital bed.“Miss White, I apologize I thought you knew about both your friends. Who would you like to hear about first?” Dr. Marsch asked me sadly.
