A Chicago PD Au fanfiction | Hollow

Fifteen

Okay, one more with dr. Rhodes just because the show rocks...

I look at Jennifer while April and I push the bed through the corridor, flashing by workers, other patients and families. I know I have to tell her what's going on but I also know it would stress her up, Voight told me.

"You said you took a hit to the head"

Jennifer looks confused. She almost straighten up, sitting up straight like if she would hear me better when she's higher up.

"Yeah" Jennifer says "But it wasn't that bad" she states.

"A brain damage can cause nerves to shut down, and if that's the case; you won't only be numb in your hand"

I expected her to become beyond scared and anxious, but she lean back and accept it. Though she look quite mad.

We roll her into a room with an X-ray.

-Jennifer-

The X-ray went great, though I don't know the result yet. I think that room is the only one I hasn't been in, I've been in many rooms in this hospital. I've broken my pinky, gotten shot at and past out down the stairs. That's just a couple of them.

I'm back in my room, the white room with no decorations except for a plastic flower. An old TV set hangs from the ceiling. A window giving me a view of the world below was just beneath the screen. In the corner are two chairs, frayed with wear and tear. It was a typical hospital room, sparse and functional.

Dr. Rhodes comes in. He cross his arms over his chest and lean against the wall.

"How you feeling?" He ask

The question I want to ask myself is if I should lie to get out quicker or tell the truth to be nice to him, because he is nice to me. It's not fair to be mean back.

"Better" I reply. For the fact, that's true.

I wait for a moment, to give him space to talk but he doesn't speak. "Any news?" I ask.

"Yeah" He say and walk towards me, he sit down on the chair beside me.

By the look of it all, it doesn't look good. What if I have a brain damage? What if I can't do my job and what will happen then? Will Voight send me back to jail? I shouldn't even think about it because I just get anxous and worried for something that doesn't exist.

"Good news are it's only a few compressed nerves, worse news are that you'll need surgery" He say.

Surgery. I can resist a lot of thing but I really don't like surgery, it can be dangerous and there's something about being there but not being there while someone is cutting you open and then sowing you together.

"When will we do that?" I ask

Dr. Rhodes stand up. "If you're ready, we're ready in an hour" He say.

I nod and Rhodes leave the room, closing the door behind him.
