CHAPTER ONE-RAMPAGE

A/N Disclaimer. I Don't own Holby City or the characters otherwise Colette and Guy would be together and so would Zosia and Arthur.

Colette sat in her and Guy's office at five thirty at night with her head buried in her paper work. All day she had managed to avoid Guy but now half an hour before her shift was due to end there was no way she'd be able to avoid him with the amount of paper work that had to be done for the morning. Due his tendency to stay until seven or seven thirty every night unless he had something on which he didn't and that meant she was going to have to see him tonight.

Walking into the office he went over to Colette kissing her on top of the head like he always did when he sees her for the first time every day. Immediately he noticed something was up when she never gave him any sort of notice what so ever. Frowning he sat at his desk and try to do paper work but he couldn't so he pretended to do the paper work as he watched her. That's when he noticed what everyone had been gossiping about all day, the black eye and the large rather deep cut on the corner of her eye. Standing up he walked back over to her and hooked his finger under her chin lifting her head up and making her look at him.

"Col, what happened?'' Questioned Guy
"Nothing I forgot the cupboard door was open and walked into it. That's all, don't worry about it."
"Bullshit. I know when you lie Colette and you are lying right now. Did he hit you again?"
"Please….Guy don't."
"Did he hit you again Colette?"
"Yeah….. Please Guy leave it alone."
"I sure as hell not leaving it alone. You're staying with me tonight like it or not you are!"

Guy pulled her into a hug and she clung to him tightly as he healed her tightly a bit like he used to hold Zosia when she was upset as a kid or teenager. At the beginning of the month she had come to him saying her boyfriend had hit her but she promised him it was a onetime thing and ignored his plea to get rid of him, blaming the alcohol. Now as he healed her he wondered just how many time this so called guy had hit her in some place where he would not be able to see the marks on her. Guy was fuming with Max for hitting her and if this was more than the second time he had hit her then he was going to be fuming and so angry at Collette for not coming to him sooner.

Had he really been that wrapped up with work and his daughter, his grown daughter who was acting like a spoilt two year old toddler to notice the change in her best friend. Guy had never meant to neglect his best friend but sometimes it was hard to please everyone and maybe just maybe that while trying to stay on the good and happy side of Zosia he had forgot to pay attention to Colette. This was something he was going to have to fix and do a lot of grovelling to her for and maybe just maybe buy her a very big bouquet of her flowers and a big box of her chocolates. That is exactly what he was going to do when he got back to his desk before he attended to the large amount of paper work.

Now the flowers and chocolate were ordered they were both sitting doing paper work once again and at the same time looked up at each other and smiled. Getting up they went out the office and walked down to the neuro-surgical ward. When they got there Zosia, Arthur and Dominic where trying to stop a man walking down the corridor to the CEO's office. Guy seen Colette go paler that a ghost and stiff straight away unconsciously moved closer to him but just as quickly she shook it off and walked over to the junior doctors who were currently arguing with him.

"Leave Max, I don't want to talk to you and I have nothing to say to you." Spoke Colette
"Please Colette we need to talk this over. I'm sorry" Said Max but she could tell the sorry was a lie.
"Is this him Col?"

Guy could tell by her silence that he was the man who had hurt his Colette and he saw red and he could also tell by her reaction to him he'd hit her more than twice. Just when though did she become more that his best friend who he needed to his Colette? Ignoring the man's pleas to talk to her he walked to Max pulling back his arm and punching then went to grab him by the collar but Colette was right there before he had a chance to grab Max and pulling him off of him.

"Dad what the hell?" Asked Zosia shocked at the CEO hitting someone in front of everyone.
"Leave Max…. I don't want to talk to you or see you again. I'm getting most my things tonight so don't be there. Guy office now!"

Ignoring the stairs they were getting off of every one they went to the office and Zosia followed. When they got into the office Colette slammed the door closed behind them and started shouting at Guy about how stupid and inappropriate that was and Zosia stood there demanding an explanation as to what the exactly was going on.

Finally once she had calmed down Colette explained to Zosia about her eye, how she got it and who Max was. For the first time since before her mama death she found herself with sympathy and sort of liking her again. Guy apologised for going on cave man on her and smacking Max and making a seen in front of all the neuro staff and patients which she accepted but not before calling him and idiot.

Once Zosia had left to go get back on with her work for the last hour of her shift Colette sat down in her chair pulling her knees up to her chest. An incredibly hard thing to do on a chair with wheels and that spun around. Colette knew she needed to tell him the truth about just how long he had been hitting her. So she looked up at him blinking back tears and told him everything that happened for the first time he'd hit her until this morning and how she got Arthur to stitch it and not say a word to any one or she's hurt him.

"Why didn't you tell me Col?"
"I didn't know how to and you were so wrapped up in Zosia and work that I didn't want to burden you with my problems."
"Colette Sherward, you will never burden me never ever."
"I know and I'm Sorry for lying to you about it."

Almost two hours later the two of them walked into Guy's house with her weekend bag slung over his shoulder and her suit cases in his other. Quickly he went up the stairs and put them in the spare room before he joined her in the living room where she was on her mobile ordering take out for them both knowing neither of them had eaten since they both grabbed quick lunches like they do every lunch time only this time it wasn't together. Smiling he sat down on the couch and turned the television on after she hung up. There was no good television shows on so they settled on a movie pausing it until their food arrived so that getting it from the delivery person wouldn't disturb them.

While they waited for the Food to arrive Colette went up the stairs and run herself a bath hoping that the water and the steam would take away the pain from the bruises on her ribs and her hip. Laying in the large bath tub she lay her head back against the edge dozing into a light sleep. After about half an hour she out the bath draining the water. She dried off and stood In front of the large floor length mirror staring at herself naked covered in bruises, eye, ribs, hip and her lower back. Lost in a world of her own Colette was startled when there was knock at the bathroom door.

"Col you alright in there?" Spoke Guy through the door.
"Yeah Guy I'm fine"
"Alright, well dinner has arrived, didn't want you eating cold food."
"Okay I'm coming"

Sighing she made sure that she was dry properly because there was nothing worse than been damp and sticky from a bath or shower. She quickly pulled on a pair of shorts and a spaghetti strapped vest top and oversized hoddie on before going down the stairs grabbing two bottles of water out of the fridge and two plates as well as cutlery knowing guy would have just attempted the chopsticks and eat out the containers. Colette joined Guy in the living room watching the movie Annie simply because he knew no matter how much she denied it, it was one of her favourite films and they ate there food in a comfortable silence.

By the end of the movie Colette had fallen fast asleep with her head on a pillow on the arm of the chair and her legs over Guy's. Gently he moved her legs off of him and picked her up bridal style. Quietly he carried her up the stairs not noticing that she had woken up. Guy lay her down on her bed and pulled the covers over her and kissed her on the head when he seen she was awake and smiled kissing her forehead.

"Thank you for today Guy and for letting me stay here"
"Always and you can stay here as long as you want Col."
"I know. Good night Guy"
"Good night Colette."

Smiling he headed to his own bedroom and went to bed.
