warnings: mentions of physical abuse

"Um, excuse me?" I make my way to the front desk in the emergency department, "I received a call, that I was needed?"

The woman looks to my chest, and I look as well to see what she was looking at. The first four buttons of my blouse were still undone. Since I left ransoms house in a hurry.

The middle part of my bra was shown along with the curves of my breasts.

I clear my throat, casually finishing up buttoning my blouse.

"What's your name?" The lady finally asks me.

"Y/n Y/l/n."

"Yes, please come with me."

On our way to the room, the lady told another nurse, "Patient's emergency contact in 76b is here."

I still very confused as to who put me down as an emergency contact.

I make sure I am fully dressed before going into the room, everything seems to be in order, my blouse is buttoned, heels are on and my hair is normally styled.

I had to comb it down from how hard ransom has tugging on it.

"Right in here, Ms.Y/l/n."

The lady opens the door and I am shocked to see who was admitted into the ED, with a cast around his arm, his regular I haven't slept in days becuase I've been at gigs look plastered all over his face.

Some large cuts and forming blue and black blobs also forming on his handsome face.

"Colin!" I step over to him. Putting my bag into an empty chair.

As much as he did me wrong, I still cared about the boy.

"Hey, there she is," he breathes, "my hero." He gives me that adorable cocky smirk.

"What happened?!" I sit in the empty space on his bed.

"I'm fine now that you're here, sweetheart."

I take a big breath, shaking my head at him, "why didn't you tell me you put me as an emergency contact?"

"Cause you'd have me take you off, and I don't trust anyone else as you can see, babe. My friends are mindless meatballs and my mom and sister live miles from here."

"Colin, don't call me babe." I shake my head at him, still. "And second, what the hell happened to you?"

"Bunch of guys got drunk at the gig, and as I was loading the van with our stuff, I saw the same guys huddling around this girl in an alley. So I jumped in..." he doesn't look me in the eyes as if he was embarrassed.

"...obviously I lost, hence the broken radius." He lifts his arm that is wrapped in a cast.

"Hey," I take his good hand in mine, "you did the best you could. And those other guys probably got it much worse, huh?" I smile at him.

He laughs softly, "yeah."

We laugh a bit, "is the girl okay?"

"Oh yeah, she ran as soon as they started kicking me so."

"Oh Colin, you're such a good guy." I squeeze his hand.

He smiles at me, but it quickly turns into a frown, "am I?"

I know this doesn't have to do with anything that t happened to him tonight but with what happened when he got caught cheating on me with Minka.

I gulp, thinking about my answer.
