Protect || Dennis Whitaker - English

A Dennis Whitaker FanFiction.

Grace Eleanor Austen has only one certainty: she will not end up like her mother.

The daughter of an addict and a father who fled before she was born, Grace grew up hearing she was worthless. But she chose a different path. Through gas station shifts and sleepless nights, she made it to her third year of medical school. Now she's starting her first rotation at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital.

She smiles so no one worries. She hides her scars. She's too good, even to people who don't deserve it.

In the chaos of the ER, Grace finds something she never had: a place. Dana, the head nurse who treats her like her daughter. Trinity, who understands her need for walls. Mel and Victoria, who teach her that not everyone leaves. And Dennis Whitaker...

Dennis is kind, sweet, and terribly persistent. He's the first to notice that Grace's smile doesn't reach her eyes - and the first who doesn't run when she tries to push him away. Between twelve-hour shifts and glances that last a second too long, what starts as friendship becomes something Grace never allowed herself to imagine.

But old habits creep back like a shadow. And when the pain of the past threatens to destroy everything she's building, Grace will have to decide: keep fighting alone - or finally let someone help her.
