Dr. Ross is played by George Clooney!!!


Bittersweet Beginnings -- Chapter 4



Sonny forgot all about his anger when he saw that Carly was okay and she was alive.

"She saved me" she told him when he knelt down next to her "She said she was me so they attacked her not me.

Carly began to cry, Sonny held her "Shh, its gonna be okay."

"No its not" she snapped. "Its my fault she's down here. Her career could be over. It was almost like they knew she was a model they kept hitting her int eh face. She took the beating that meant for me"

Duane ran over to Tunetha "Its okay, I'm here, its all over, shhh, its okay"

He smoothed down her hair "is she okay, Carly I mean?" she asked.

"yea she's gonna be fine"

"thats good" Tunetha said right before she passed out.

"TUNETHA, TUNETHA" Duane shouted

"whats wrong? what happened?" Carly asked frantic.

"I dunno! Baby wake up, please wake up" Duane begged her as he cradle dher in his arms.

"lets get her to the hospital" Sonny said as he helped Carly up.

Hours later at GH

Dr. Ross walked out of Tunetha's room. "Are you with Tunetha Richardson?" he asked the group.

"Yes we are" Kysela answered, Sonny had called her on the way to the hospital.

"Tunetha is in what we like to call a Traumatic Coma. Its the body's way of coping with trauma. When she wakes up she will be completly fine, the only thing she'll suffer with is soreness. The only thing we can do know is wait for to wake up"

"How long could this last?" Sonny asked. Duane was just standing there still in shock.

"A couple of minutes to months, I don't expect it to last months though, just a couple of days"

"Can she hear us?" Carly asked

"Yes and we suggest talking to her. Sometimes that will bring them back quicker. I have to warn you though befoer you go in an see her, the bruises and scratches she recieved have surfaced. Her only major injury is a bruised hip, rib and sprained ankle. She's luck, all of those are minor injuries compared to what could have happened."

"Thank you Dr. Ross" Kysela said.

"If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask either myself or Dr. Carter"

"We won't" Kysela said flashing the handsome doctor a fake smile.

"Can I go see her first" Carly asked. Everyone looked at her unsure. "Please"

"sure" Kysela said. She was more worried about Duane who hadn't said anything but sorry when she first got there.

Carly tried not to let Tunetha's appearance bother her when she walked in the room.

"Tunetha, its me Carly. I know I'm the last person you want to hear from but I just wanted to say thanx. You didn't have to do that. It should be me in this bed not you. You gotta come back quick, otherwise whos gonna take all my sh*t, as you put it." Carly laughed nervously and wiped the tears from her eyes. She sat down in the chiar next to her bed and held her hand. "It's gonna be all right, Tunetha you'll see...you just gotta wake up."

Tunetha wanted despartely to tell Carly that it was okay. And that things happen for a reason, it was God's will that she be in that bed and not Carly but she just couldn't make herself wake up
