Just Like Fire

The Pain I'm Holding

Without them even noticing it, they were back to work. When they got to the station that day everyone from B shift kept looking at Andy, which was bothering her, a lot. She hated no knowing if they were looking at her because of her dad's death, or because of her marriage. But it was pissing her of. At some point a guy made a comment about her getting privileges for doing something with the chief that no one else had the opportunity to do, and then she realized; her friends were alright with her relationship, but that didn't mean the whole station was. What Brandon, the guy, didn't expected was for their captain to hear what he said to her best friend, she immediately sculpted him in front of everyone, and asked him to go to her office.

Everyone went their ways after that. Andy decided that she needed a workout, going towards the gym. So far, she had burnt her toasts, broke her phone while leaving home, and she had to hear an asshole at work. Great.

She was at her 30th burpee when she heard a cough at the door. And she knew immediately who that was.

"Are you alright?" – Her husband, and chief, was leaning against the door frame, in his uniform.

"You already heard? God, news travel fast."

"Maya told me; she went to ask advice on how to deal with it..."

"I'm fine... it's just one of these days where I should've stayed in bed, in fetal position all day, pretending to be dead."

"Woa, that's dramatic. But do you want to? Go home?"

"I'm going to pretend you didn't ask that!"

He just walked in and took the opportunity of her pause to drink water to hug her from behind, giving her a kiss in the neck.

"Robert, we are at work."

"You're having a hard day, I don't care" – The man said turning her around and kissing her properly.

"Oh, dear professionalism." – from all the people in the world that could've walked in, it had to be Victoria, the person who would make fun of Andy all day.

Sullivan's phone started to rang, so he apologized and left. Not without his with looking dirty on him for leaving her alone with her crazy friend.

"Don't, Vic, please" – Andrea said before she could even start talking.

"You're very sweet, I like it"

Andy smiled, and then it happened. They heard a loud noise in the station, followed by Gipson and Warren screaming for help. Both women left the gym, running towards the station stairs.

Andy just couldn't believe in what she was seeing. Her husband, the man she loved, was at the bottom of the stair, inconscient. Warren and Gipson were already taking care of him, while Maya and Dean were grabbing materials.

"What happened?" – Vic said running down the stairs.

"He was walking down the stairs and he fell, it was weird, almost like he stopped felling his legs." – Gipson said, looking confused. Very confused.

Warren looked towards Andy, who was just in shock, no reaction at all. She just stayed there.

"Travis is already taking the aid car out of the garage, here" – Dean said, while he and their captain brought a gurney, and gave a small container to Jack. Andy recognized it immediately, and that took her out of her trance.

"NO! He can't take fentanyl..." – She said while running towards her family.

"Is he allergic? They have ways to contour that at the hospital."
