I Care About You- A Nurses Fanfiction Grace X Ashley

Hurt

"Hey where is home? Hmm?" Grace spoke softly before getting her nurse's light out of her pocket to check the patient's pupils.

"I'm just going to check your pupils…" She told him quietly and low, as she turned on the light as she got ready to bring it up to her patient's eyes carefully.

"AH! AH! Get me out of here!" The patient who is wearing an orange shirt and calls himself Marco Polo, screamed and got up quickly, causing Grace to get pushed towards the tray cart.

The moment just went by fast and all she knew was that she is on the ground now from accidentally being pushed into the cart that was behind her in the same spot that it was when she was previously using it a couple of minutes ago before her patient freaked out,having a seizure like episode that caused him to knock her into the cart.

Sinead heard the sound of the crash and the sound of the patient and quickly ran over to see what happened and if everything was okay. The first thing that she saw was one of her young nurses that she was helping around the hospital and kind of a boss/mentor for, Grace Knight who was currently getting up off the floor and immediately made Sinead feel worried once she had seen that the cart was also knocked over near the area where Grace just had gotten up from. She knows that she should be worried for the patient in need and take care of them first but she goes over to the young nurse that just fell instead while a group of  doctors and nurses wheelbed the patient away into an examination room to figure out what's wrong.

Grace looked at her older irish boss, the look was unrecognizable with a small hint of confusion. Sinead cuts Grace off before she could even say anything, "Grace, are you alright? You're not hurt are you?" She asked motherly and soft as she had nothing but a caring and concerned toned expression written all over her face to which Grace noticed.

"Yes, I'm alright Sinead. Don't worry. It's the patient who actually needs care we need to worry abo-", Grace cuts herself off when she sees Sinead having a strange unreadable look. "What?", Sinead just shook her head in response and told Grace to sit down. 

"Sinead, what are you-"

"Grace, you're bleeding." Sinead told her, the concern and worry now grew. She finally gets Grace to sit down before grabbing some soft napkin tissue dry wipes, gauze, ointment, and anything else that she might need. "Okay Grace,please I need you to lift up the back of your shirt." She instructed with a soft and calming tone that's comforting. Grace just silently did what she was told.

Ashley was talking with one of her patients, the one who she enjoys talking with and actually snuck her in a lottery ticket for her earlier today. She was in the middle of a conversation when she heard a crash that was soon led by seeing a group of some doctors and nurses running past the room fast and urgently. Ashley furrowed her brow and got up from her chair, "I'm sorry Phyllis. I got to go check on this. I'll be right back." She politely excused herself and Phyllis just smiled softly and nodded at her. Ashley smiled back a bit then left to the curtain area where the patient had just been at. She pulls the curtain closed and turned around away from the curtain to see an injured Grace and Sinead standing there cleaning the wound on Grace's back.

Grace hears the curtain being pulled back then closed, she glanced up to see Ashley there. 'Oh great, she's here. Now she can see me at a weak moment.' She prepared herself for whatever Ashley may say or do. She was waiting for it.

Before Ashley could even say or do anything, Wolf walks into the room and tells Sinead that a Dr. Wallace needs her in the conference room. Sinead tells Wolf that she'll be there in a moment before telling Ashley to finish getting Grace all patched up and stay with her. Without a word or argument, Ashley nodded at the order. Wolf then fully noticed Grace hurt and he was about to ask what happened but Sinead was already talking and leading him away from the area, leaving Grace and Ashley alone.

The young Knight sighed and looked at Ashley, who was already by her side, taking care of the wound. "What happened, Grace?" 

"I told Marco that I was going to take his vitals and when I shined the light in his eyes he went berserk, pushing me and knocking me down into the cart nearby in the process." Grace explained, telling Ashley what happened. "It's nothing really though. I'm fine." She added while Ashley took care of the wound, Grace sort of shivered from the touch.

Ashley noticed and looked at the hurt young nurse that was sitting in front her. She doesn't say anything about what she just noticed but still says something at least. "Are you sure you're alright Grace?" She spoke softly. 

Grace nodded, "Yeah I'm okay. Promise." She says. "Thanks Ashley but I should get going." Grace gets up, pulling down her shirt and walks away, leaving before Ashley could say anything.
