You Revive Me

Mariah had been on duty for the past 32 hours. She had little to no sleep and God knows when was the last time she ate because even she does not remember eating anything except a chocolate protein bar during her round break.

Being a doctor is already exhausting but being a resident is worst of all. The only thing that’s been keeping her alive is her colleague and best friend Blaire and maybe some coffee too that she has been devouring for the past 3 hours. It’s not like she doesn’t love her job. She loves it. It’s what she has been wanting to do her whole life.

She always thought of herself as a side character. Not having a fair skin or a perfect body, just a brunette with pitch black eyes and a bunny smile. Sometimes she would have to wear glasses to look a little mature as her baby face was of no help. She may not be the main character we see in movies but she’s kind. Yes, she’s kind and humble. She always envied those girls in the movies that had everyone head over heels for them but she knew that if she had to be likeable she needs to be kind.

She never had someone who loved her truly. Her parents were busy always busy fighting and her sister never cared for her. She was bullied by others for being fat when she was young. She tried to loose weight and achieved but the trauma was still there and even after everything she had gone through, she never complained nor did she blame or was rude to anyone. She’s a great doctor who worked her ass off to get where she is right now but at this moment, she’s just a human with no sleep and just wants to go home. After an hour, she is allowed to leave.

“I cannot wait to go home ,have a shower and then go straight to bed,” Mariah speaks with excitement in her voice.

“Don’t forget to eat before going to bed. You’ve been chugging down that coffee for too long.”, Blaire says with concern.

“Yes I will make sure of that! Now off I go and off you go too. Now it’s your time to chug that coffee down your throat”, Mariah says with a grin on her face.

She knows that Blaire in on night shift today and will be handling everything alone. Blaire laughs and says her goodbye.

“Hope you have a good night Buddie!”

It is currently 2 am and there is no one to be seen on the streets. It’s dark so she decides to take a taxi instead of walking home as she usually does. She sits in the taxi as soon as the taxi arrives and decides to stop by the convenience store near her apartment so she could restock her refrigerator that has been empty for days now.

She arrives at the store, buys some vegetables, snacks and drinks. After paying for all those things when she walks outside the store, she is just confused as she cannot find the taxi anywhere.

“ Where did he go? Maybe there was an emergency so he just left but he should’ve at least taken the fare before leaving ”, Mariah thinks to herself.

She decides to walk as she’s just 5 minutes away from home. She’s thinking about his day today on the way and how she was glad to witness a triplets delivery today. She had delivered twins before but never in her life had she seen triplets.

As she’s thinking, she hears a man groan by the side of the road. She thinks that he’s drunk. But when she takes a closer look, she sees a man bleeding. A lot. And when you see a person bleeding that much, its not a good sign at all. She rushes towards him. She sees a young man with a handsome face. He’s tall and has brown hair with light brown eyes. Brown is not a rare color but there was something in his eyes that made him different. Any girl would fall for him instantly but right now he’s bleeding as hell and now is not the time to worship his beauty. Mariah as a doctor had to make sure he’s okay.

“Sir! Excuse me Sir! Can you hear me? ”Mariah asks to make sure he’s conscious but he has lost a lot of blood and is too injured to speak.
