It had been a long day at the hospital and Bobbie Spencer could feel the effects of her sixteen hour shift as she stood in front of Kelly's. She was exhausted. All she really wanted to do was go home and collapse on her bed. She looked down at her watch realizing that she had promised Carly that she would take Morgan for the night. She sighed as she pulled out her phone to take a rain check. She really wanted to see her grandson, but was so tired she couldn't take it. She hit the speed dial button on her phone and waited for Carly to answer. After three rings she hung up guessing that Carly was more than likely sleeping. She slipped her phone back into her purse and walked down to the docks. Slowly she walked along the waterfront watching the water and feeling the cool air roll off of it. Walking over to a bench she sat down letting out a sigh as her feet screamed.
"Bobbie…you should really re-think your profession." She said to herself laughing. She loved being a nurse and she loved helping people. She sat on the bench consumed in thought when she heard a noise behind her. She turned to see a young girl walking down the dock stairs. Bobbie watched as the girl got closer.
The girl was in bad shape. She was barley clothed, a large purple bruise was present on her lip and she looked out of it. Bobbie slung her purse over her shoulder and stood, looking at the girl. Under the bruise and the deer caught in the headlights look, she was beautiful. Her skin was the color of caramel and she had stunningly blue eyes.
"Are you okay…?" Bobbie asked as she watched the girl struggle to get down the stairs. "Let me help you…" she said walking over to the girl and trying to help.
"No!" the girl yelled. "Please just leave me alone…" she said pulling away as Bobbie tried to help.
"I think that you need a doctor or to go to the hospital, I won't hurt you…" Bobbie said reaching for her again. The girl pulled away again. "I'm fine I just lost my balance earlier and…" the girl said as she almost lost her balance again. She scrambled to regain it.
"My name is Bobbie…I am a nurse at GH please Miss let me help you, you are not well." Bobbie said standing under her to make sure she could keep her balance.
"No hospitals!" The girl screamed as she fell into Bobbie loosing conscious. Bobbie caught her and struggled to hold her up as she pulled out her phone to call an ambulance. There was something familiar about this girl Bobbie thought as she held her in her arm. She had to be in her early 20's if not her teens and that face. She couldn't quite place it but she knew that face. Bobbie heard the sirens as she looked at the girl dazed and lost in thought.
