Introduction
Once a med-student interning at Vancouver General Hospital, a hospital well-known for its research department, a young doctor comes across an old patient of his from a few years ago. She's a young teenager, now only seventeen, and has been in and out of the hospital since the age of three due to her immune system not working well enough to continuously keep her healthy.
She's been asked by the head of the research department to take part in a study, an experimental medication that requires she return to the hospital for an examination at least once daily. During this study, she's been assigned to a new doctor, recently graduated at twenty-four years old; the intern she had met years ago while he was still just a high school student. She'd had a crush on him then, even when he became an intern, and it hits her full-force as she tries to hide this and retain the professional doctor-patient relationship they're supposed to have. Unfortunately, she can't help but yearn for more than just this.
The doctor has a lingering attachment for the girl he saved years ago when he'd been late to an early morning soccer game during his high school years. He's been shocked when he had become her intern and, years later, was shocked again when he was told he was to be her new doctor. She is his first real patient without another, older and more experienced, doctor watching his every move behind him. Perhaps, even, his first real love?

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors

She understood that Doctor Doyle was old and all but did he really have to retire? The teen had grown fond of him in the years she had known him and he'd been someone she could always confide in but, now, even that seemed to be leaving her.
Addy shook out her long blonde curls and pushed them over her shoulders to cascade down her back, her curled bangs falling into her eyes slightly as she did so. She blew out a breath of air in frustration, tapping her foot on the ground as she shifted on the hard plastic chair. She was waiting for someone to call her and she hoped it would be soon, after all.. They were running 15 minutes late as it was and Addison wasn't exactly too bothered by this as she pulled her Blackberry Bold from her jacket pocket and checked for messages.
" Addison King?" A nearby voice asked, practically in front of her, and the teen looked up as she replaced her cellphone into her pocket. Addy gave a nod, " Yes, that's me." The nurse, as it turned out, beckoned for the younger girl to follow and lead her to her usual hospital room. Her parents were closely linked to the hospital and had arranged for this one room to pretty much be Addison's whenever she came by. This is where she usually had her check ups done.
" The doctor will be with you shortly, he's just finishing with another patient." The nurse said as she slid the door open and then left Addison to her own devices, quite literally too.
The blonde heaved a sigh as she stepped into the room and sat on the comfortable white chair, taking off her shoes before curling her feet under herself and pulling out her phone to play a game while she waited. She hoped it wouldn't be much longer.

It was that intern, that guy who'd helped her out when she was younger and had been really sick. She realized she still hadn't responded to him and did so, " Yeah, that's me." She smiled at the man, hating that she'd ever had a crush on this guy and that he had to be good-looking. It just wasn't fair. " But I don't exactly recall your name?" Her eyes were apologetic as she waited a few moments to hear his response, if her had one, before deciding to answer his question on why she was currently in the room in front of him today.
" I'm part of the new study they started up a few weeks ago," Addy started, taking her time with her explanation, " The medication they made is designed to help the immune system to identify pathogens and destroy them before they harm the body, which wasn't happening before like that time you helped me. So, in short, we hope for the medication to make my immune system more like yours or any other person." She spoke in a plural as though more than one person were with her other than herself but, other than herself, she meant her parents and her little sister who hadn't come on this visit.
" Is that what you were looking for?" Addison asked lightly, pushing her phone into her pocket before clasping her hands together on her lap.

Shaking her head caused her curls to bounce against her back, " No," she replied as her lips turned up into a smile to show that she was, in fact, amused. " I don't need to look at the file, it's all in here." Addy released on hand to tap her temple lightly with her finger before bringing it back to her lap.

She was glad she'd worn a halter top, mainly for the sun but also if he was drawing blood. She hated pulling up her sleeves or taking off a heavy sweater but, of course, never complained about it. Addy pulled her arms out of her black jacket and stuffed it behind her on the chair, " You'd think I knew it was coming or something," she added in a slightly louder tone.
" So, let's get this done and over with." She was happy that taking blood was only a once or twice a week occurrence... Addison hated needles with a passion not that anyone knew that.

" So do I," she responded, keeping her tone light as she kept an eye on her breathing. One part about being sick and constantly in and out of hospitals; it absolutely sucked to hate needles especially since you tended to get quite a few. Pale eyes pointedly avoided looking at the needle as she studied Nathanael's face.
She could tell he was taller than her, it'd be odd if her wasn't, and looked pretty healthy. As befitted a doctor. He had grey eyes that tended to smile when his lips did, showing he was a relatively good natured man. Addison ignored the slight pinch as the needle went in and exhaled the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding, keeping her eyes calm and her body relaxed. She'd learned long ago that it hurt more when you were tense.
" So," the blonde began, honestly curious now. " you became a doctor. Was that before or after you helped me?" This was partly a joke, " Do you like it?" Yup, this was definitely Addison trying to keep her attention off the needle. Classic. She felt like hitting herself in the forehead, that's how stupid she felt.

" Yeah," the blonde answered, " Seven years, that's a long time.." Her aqua eyes were thoughtful as she considered what to tell the doctor, pulling her arm back toward her petite body. " But you haven't missed much. Hospital visits, boy drama, graduation.." She listed them off easily, shrugging as she did so. " Honestly, that's nothing," Addison smiled at Nathanael before adding, " Anyway, enough about me. You're a doctor now, eh, Nate. How do you like it?" Her words were smooth, no hesitation this time as she slipped into using the nickname he had said she could.

She stood slowly, stretching her long legs as she felt for her cellphone in her pocket. Her over-size white bag, which acted as a school bag for her, sat leaning against the chair leg on the floor. Her meds were inside.. Addison had to take two pills twice daily of one type and another at lunch time. Every. Single. Day.
It truly was a hassle but she figured it was worth it. And, even though Nate was her doctor, she always felt weird taking pills in front of people. She'd most likely walk into the bathroom after eating or, even better in her eyes, just wait until she got home to take that particular little blue capsule. After all, it didn't seem to hurt her.
While she'd had these thoughts racing through her mind, Addy had had a smile don her lips and had bent to pick up the bag to swing it over her shoulder. " Do you want me to wait outside?" After she'd entered this new program she noticed they worked differently than the hospital itself did, as odd as that sounded.
