Trying my best to go on like nothing had just happened, I push myself forward after taking a few deep breaths. Room two was crowded with doctors and nurses, all rushing around grabbing equipment. Putting on protective equipment and talking to each other with rushed words. I jumped right in to it, doing the same, I just needed to pretend like nothing had just happened. But deep inside I could not shake the feeling that things were only going to get worse for me. Taking myself to my numb place I go to when I'm on the rough shift at work, I push past everything and get on with my job. Walking over to the patient that lays on the bed I did not recognize him at first with all the bandages wrapped around him. Then his panicked pain filled eyes looked towards me and I gasped. It was Liam, stepping forward I looked him over.

His eyes looked towards me in panic and I knew right now that was not the best mental state for him. So I placed my hand in his and squeeze lightly "you're in safe hands Liam, just blink for me if you're feeling pain." He blinked twice and I smiled sweetly towards him as I reached for his chart, he had been given an IV of pain medication but it was a little on the low side. Turning my body to look toward the drip I twisted the nozzle a little more allowing the liquid to drip a little harder. Then I looked back over his file, "Emma, Simon said that he needs to go in for surgery" Stacy whispers into my ear and I nod my head. Turning slightly so my body is angled towards her I look into her eyes. "Yes, Go page surgery room four I think they are free" she quickly moves away and towards the main desk.

Liam looks a little less panicked as I turn my attention back towards him, placing his chart back down I take his hand once more. "How bad am I doc?" He grunts towards me and my heart tightens at the sound of his voice, but I keep my smile on my face. "I'm just a nurse Liam, and don't you worry. You will be back on your feet in no time" just as I finish my words the surgery team comes into the room. Forcing me to let his hand drop as I step away. They go to his side and start talking away to him explaining that he is about to go into surgery. They keep it simple for him but I know he's about to go in to fix the damage, he's been showing signs of bleeding internally. Maybe even having a ruptured spleen. He is tough tho I know he will be ok, but I've done all that I can do for him. My part in his recovery is over for now.

So as I step out of room two and watch as they wheel him down into surgery, my heart beats lighter. I know he's in good hands, "where are they taking him." I jump slightly placing my hand over my chest and I turn to look up towards him. A few other guys stand with him as he looks down towards me "surgery, he is in good hands Gunner." I place my hand on his arm trying to show some comfort, "Emma" Stacy calls me a look of terra on her face. "I will be right back why don't you guys head towards the canteen" I step away from him as I walk over towards Stacy. As I near close to her I can hear a couple arguing in the stall behind her. "Just let her clean it up" a female voice say and I hear a grumble from a man as a reply. I know the voice instantly and I panic just a little as I shove the curtain open. My eyes go straight to her as I quickly look at her from head to toe. "Emma, thank god, maybe you can talk some sense into him."

She stands with her arms crossed her face red with anger and annoyance in her eyes. I walk inside and walk towards her I hug her with force "Jade, you're ok right?" She wraps her arms back around me tapping my back lightly "I'm fine, it's him" she soothes me as I pull away from her to look into her eyes. Her eyes soften as she looks towards me and I sigh with relief. "Emma, please talk some sense into him" "you're talking about me like I'm not even around I told you already babe I'm fine, it's just a scratch." He half spits the words out and for some reason I feel slightly annoyed myself, so I take my eyes away from my best friend and towards him. Squinting them towards him I step forward "well if it's just a scratch you won't mind me looking." I don't even give him time to protest as I slip gloves on my hand and wiggle my fingers like some evil genius.

He hisses as I press the antiseptic to his cut that sits high on his thigh. Inside I get a little satisfaction from him and I don't feel guilt for it one bit "shit what the fuck is that." He curses as I press a little harder "oh stop been a baby it's just a little antiseptic." Smiling inside I hear a deep chuckle coming from behind me and I stop what I'm doing to peek over my shoulder. Gunner stands there leaning against the open stall wall. He looks towards me with excitement in his eyes then he winks at me. "Feels like you're digging around in there" he complained forcing me to look back towards him. "Well if you stop wiggling around like a fish out of water it would go a lot smoother" I complained right back at him. He was not wrong tho I was in fact digging around, he had a small fragment of glass inside his leg. Nothing to worry about but if I did not get it out it stands a chance that it would get infected.

"Got it" I half sing as I hold the tweezers up in the air. "Thank fuck for that" he grits out as I roll my eyes "you're going to need stitches." I tell him, and he pushes himself up off the bed "like fuck I am." He gets halfway up and then a hand comes down on his shoulders pushing him back down "let Emma do her job, Prez." The two men look into each other's eyes having a battle between them "if you don't let me stitch it up, your leg will get infected, you will have to end up having it amputated and then you will be known as legless Giles." I decide to butt in on their silent argument. My words seem to do the job because he sits back down and nods towards me. I collect the things that I need as the two men start talking away to each other.

"How's Lefty" Tank looks towards me for a second before looking back to Gunner. "He's in surgery Prez" I blank their chatter out as I try to focus on doing my job. One stitch at a time, after the eighth stitch I come to the last one and I feel Jade watching me closely. "Will he really lose his leg, I mean you know it's so close to his jewels." She sighs and I cringe as I notice that he is currently sporting a semi at her words. I've never felt so uncomfortable in my life, clearing my throat I rush the last stitch, so I can get away from him. I need to wash my eyes out, I can't even believe I looked at his crotch. Feeling my cheek heating up as I quickly dispose of the used equipment and remove my gloves. Moving to wash my hands I scrub at my fingernails like they are evil. "Emma" Jade calls me and I'm forced to look towards her. "His leg will be fine but it's going to need cleaning daily, and I'm sure his erm, jewels will be fine too." I mumble the last part as I turn my eyes quickly away.

The deep laughter that follows my words has me turning even more red "hear that babe, you will be riding my dick in no time." My jaw drops as I grab a paper towel and quickly exit the cubicle. He really had no shame, and I was not sure if I liked the idea of him and my best friend together. Drying my hands I leaned over towards the main desk, so I could check the time for my lunch break. After all this drama I really needed a break. Turns out I was in luck as it was only a few minutes away. Happiness washed over me as I quickly made my away toward the staff room. There was a little bounce in my step as I stepped inside. It quickly vanished as I looked into the muddy eyes of Simon. Of course, he would be here, all I needed was to grab a little cash from my purse, so I could grab some food. But he had other ideas.

Like a flash of lightning he was on me pushing me up against the lockers. Was not the first time I found myself in this position with him, just before I was a willing participant. Now I found myself pushing at his chest "get off me Simon." I shoved as hard as I could, but he would not budge his lips were at my ear as his hands were greedily groping my chest. I felt sick rise up my throat, "stop fighting me, you know it will feel good." Shaking my head from side to side I refused to give in, so I pushed harder "no." I, half shouted, and then he forced his lips onto mine kissing me roughly. Panic rushed over me and I bit down on his lip desperately trying to get away from him. He cursed as he pulled away from me "fucking whore, got no problem with that biker trash but me." He spits in my face and that's when I see red, my hand comes up and connects with his face. The sound of the slap echoes around the room as I slap him with all the strength I could manage.

His head turns from the side and I feel fear in my gut as he looks towards me "Miss Evens" I hear my name been calls in a shocked manner. My head whips to the left as I look into the eye of my boss. I cringed inside at the shocked look that crosses his face then, the disappointment in his eyes washed over me. I feel instant guilt and I look down towards the ground "my office now, the both of you."
