Author's Note:
The first part of the story the chapters are quite lengthy.  I admit I struggled at first with the breakdown.  They get more manageable and more consistent as the story unfolds.
Thank you so much for starting to read!

I have since redone the first part of the story, breaking the chapters up especially in the beginning, which is why some have a much smaller amount of reads...thank you!

It's never a dull moment working at a busy Los Angeles ER/Urgent Care. Always someone coming in and out every day, all day and all night. It's a good thing the doors are actually revolving because they are constantly in motion. Sitting at the Admissions desk Julie was constantly amazed at how many people were seen and treated each day at this crazy place she called a day job. Even though she was trained for both being a nurse's assistant and working the admissions and billing, she found herself being scheduled in admissions most often. She loved her job and her coworkers, but she couldn't wait to finish school and be an actual RN working side by side with the doctors saving patient's lives and helping them in their time of need.

Julie grabbed the handful of clipboards with admissions papers attached to them so she could start the rounds going in and talking to the patients who were brought in either by ambulance or who were taken back to rooms immediately. Had to get the proper paperwork, insurance information and billing information quickly. As Julie rounded the corner to the first room she ran into her best friend and roommate Amanda who of course was the best RN the hospital could have. She is smart, sweet, beautiful and all around amazing inside and out and always puts a smile on everyone's face. She's also very hard to miss with her gorgeous purple hair. People always wondered how the two of them could be best friends as they seemed polar opposites on the outside, but on the inside they were more alike than anyone even imagined.

"Hey Panda," Julie said. Panda was Julie's nickname for her bestie. There weren't very many times she referred to her as Amanda anymore. "Ready for this crazy night? Been here 10 minutes and already running to 5 different rooms for admissions. Must be a full moon and you know what that means."

"Hey JJ," said Amanda. JJ was Amanda's nickname for Julie, her initials. It wasn't very hard to come up with. "Thrilled we may need to go out for drinks in the morning."

"Yeah, sure just what I wanna do at 7 am when our shifts over." Julie laughed. "I don't know why I just haven't become famous yet."

"Someday JJ, Someday." Amanda said as she walked the opposite direction to her first patient.

Julie went through the first four admissions and triage with ease; and when walking to the last one on this round, she kept getting a feeling she recognized the name on the paperwork. She slowly mulled it over when it hit her. She called to the nurse sitting at the nurse's station. "Hey Jane, could you make sure Amanda comes and helps me with the admissions and triage with this patient? Consider it a huge favor. I will owe you!"

Jane nodded. "Of course JJ, will do."

They didn't ask for favors much of each other, but when asked, most everyone tried to honor each as easily as possible.

Julie walked up and knocked gently on the door. "Excuse me, I apologize for bothering you, I'm Julie, from admissions. May I come in to get your paperwork started?"

A big gentleman stood up from a chair next to the bed of the patient. "Yes, of course, Niall, are you ok with that?"

Niall, Niall Horan, One/Fifth of the Mega successful boy band One Direction was lying in the hospital bed in front of her. Julie could hardly believe it. If Julie could hardly believe it, wait until Amanda saw what Julie was seeing. Wow! Julie shook her head and smiled slightly at herself, "get yourself together and be professional," she told herself.

Niall nodded. "Sure I think I can handle some paperwork."

Julie managed to smile, and even though she was nervous, she forced herself to be as normal as possible. "Thank you." She said as she walked across the room towards Niall. "This part will be mostly painless, I promise. I just need some basic information, and if I could make a copy of your insurance card please."

Niall nodded and handed Julie his insurance card. "Ok, painless sounds good."

Julie smiled at him and asked the basic questions required on every admissions form she'd ever taken, but for some reason getting all these personal answers from Niall Horan seemed unreal. "Ok, I'm going to run and make a copy of the insurance card, print a pretty bracelet for you to wear while you're a guest with us here and I will be back for a few autographs, and we should be done." Even though she generally uses the word autographs when she got the patients' signatures, as soon as she said it, she wasn't sure if she should have said it to Niall.. It was too late though, and she didn't want to make it seem like she had lost her confidence, so she just left the room rolling her eyes to herself.

On her way back to Niall's room Julie asked Jane if Amanda would be able to come soon, because she wanted to see her reaction to having Niall as a patient. She learned that Niall should be Amanda's next stop and was overjoyed. Amanda loved One Direction, and Niall happened to be at the top of the members' list for Amanda. Julie was excited to be able to see her friend meet one of her favorite singers.

"Ok Niall," Julie said as she walked back into the room, "I need your right wrist please. I need to outfit you with this gorgeous white plastic bracelet you may not remove the entire time you are in our building."

Niall laughed and put out his wrist. At least this admissions girl had a good sense of humor and so far didn't seem to recognize him, or if she did, didn't seem phased by it. It was a nice change. She did mention autographs, but he was unsure if she actually meant autographs or something else. He watched as she gently put the bracelet on his wrist. "You were right, pretty painless so far."

"Yes, but I butter you up for the ones that get to have all the fun. That I can't promise will be painless." Julie joked. "I'm just kidding of course; we have the best staff around, and our best nurse should be here shortly. I just need you to sign a few places on these forms and I will be out of your hair." As she flipped through the forms, she noticed some extra papers stuck in between the forms that did not normally belong there with the simple "Sign Here" on them and nothing else. "Oh for crying out loud," she mumbled to herself as she tried to pull them out nonchalantly, while glancing over her shoulder at a couple of other staff members peering into the room.

Niall looked up. "Is there a problem?"

"Oh, no, sorry" Julie stammered. Then she just laughed. "Ok well apparently some additional forms need to be signed tonight. But only by those patients named Niall Horan. I'm so sorry." Julie handed him the clipboard with the proper paperwork. "Please just sign the 3 forms we filled out earlier."

Niall laughed again. "So you do know who I am."

Julie nodded. "Of course, but I apologize; my friends tried to be a little sneaky."

Niall handed the signed paperwork and clipboard back. "Oh it's not a problem really. Thanks for trying to head them off. I can sign them if you'd like."

"No, that's not necessary. You are a guest here, and you deserve your privacy." Julie thought for a moment. "However, if you want, you could help me get back at them." She raised her eyebrows at him.

Niall nodded slowly as Julie explained her plan, and then he burst out laughing. "Of course." He took the papers from Julie and proceeded to write on them.

As he handed the papers back to Julie, Amanda walked in to the room. "Hello, I'm Amanda and I will....." her words trailed off as she looked up and realized who was there in front of her. "Holy crap! It's Niall Horan! OMG! In the bed right in front of me! Holy shit! Wow!" She screamed in her head.

Julie smiled and walked over to Amanda, "Remember that awesome nurse I was telling you about? This is her, Amanda. She's the best one we got." Julie elbowed Amanda gently in her ribs to get her out of her silence. "He's all yours Amanda. Niall, you call for me if she gets out of hand. I got your back. I will see you again at discharge. Thank you for your time. It was a pleasure meeting you." Julie gave Amanda another quick nudge before she walked out the door. "If you need help, remember I am an assistant too." She whispered and tried not to giggle on her way out.

"Nice meeting you too Julie. Thank you." Niall said as Julie walked away. "Hi Amanda, I'm Niall, nice to meet you."

Amanda, still stunned, shook her head. "Get it together Amanda!" she said to herself. "Hi Niall," she said as she stepped forward, "let's get started." She started the routine check up to make sure his vitals were normal and to get the reason for his visit. Even though she was very nervous inside, she was super proud of herself as to how she remained calm and professional. She felt like she was going to burst. How could Julie request her to come in for this patient and not give her a warning! Damn her! But then again at least she did ask for her to come in. Niall should have gone to a different nurse so guess it's a good thing. What a night!

Julie stood outside the room for a moment watching Amanda in her element with Niall. "She's sure good at what she does," Julie thought to herself. "Hope someday I can be that great and that passionate about something." Sure Julie was good at many things, especially when it came to her jobs, but she just couldn't find that love that Amanda had for it or that she knew Niall had to have for what he did. She sighed as she turned away knowing if she didn't get moving she would fall far behind very quickly. Amanda's words came back to her at that time, "Someday JJ, Someday." Yeah someday, maybe, but what? As she turned, she handed the three pieces of paper to her sneaky friends and tried not to laugh; but as soon as she saw their reactions, she couldn't help it. "Sorry but you guys deserve it. Good luck convincing people that's Niall's autograph." Julie said laughing as she walked away leaving them staring at the giant X's scrolled across the pieces of paper they thought they could get away with slipping onto the clipboard. Try to trick her, they get what they deserve.

Crazy night did not even begin to describe the rest of the shift. Julie sat down in her chair and looked at the clock. Her twelve hour shift was just about over, and she couldn't even remember if she had gone to the bathroom or ate anything; and she'd no time to talk to Amanda about her interaction with Niall. "Ugh, what a freaking night," she thought, and she rubbed the back of her neck. As if they knew she'd finally gotten two seconds to sit down to rest, she heard herself paged over the loud speaker for a discharge. "I swear they have cameras sitting around watching, and every time I sit down, they then come up with something for me to do," Julie said to no one in particular. It took her a minute, but then she realized the discharge was for Niall. Great end of a 12-hour shift. She probably looked as lousy as she felt, and now she had to go charm Niall through this discharge. Sometimes life wasn't exactly fair.
