Dr. Conner Rhodes and Dr. Ava Bekker
Chicago Med
Ava sat in her car at Chicago Med willing herself to get out and go inside to work. She had gotten there early so she had about 10 minute to do nothing. She ran her hands over face wincing some. She shook her head as memories from last night came flooding back.
Ava was planning on a sinner with the guy she was seeing, however he had other ideas. Once inside he looked her up and down and Ava knew that look. He had that look once before when they had sex. Shaking her head she told him to leave and she wasn't going to see him anymore.
Getting out of the car her mind kept going. He pushed her up against the wall before the beating started. The more she fought, told him no and stop the worse it got. He finally left and Ava waiting before getting up and changing. This morning the bruises were all over her back.
In the locker room she changed slowly, thankful her clothes covered everything. When she came out Conner was sitting and waiting for her. She put her clothes up before sitting not to him, holding the tears back.
Conner put his arms around f her as the tears fell. She jumped when his arms hit her bruises. Pulling away, she wiped the tears that stained her face. He was watching her, watching as she carefully washed her face, fixed her shirt and made sure she was covered. Then she walked out.
A few days later a patient had gotten out of control and got Ava in the eye. Sitting in the break room with ice on her eye she looked at Conner "no one's fault. I'll be fine." She took the ice off "black?' sighing Conner nodded "I've had worse, this is nothing."The look he was giving her, she knew he was about to find out.
Conner turned his finger in a circle telling her to turn around. Slowly Ava turned, jumping slightly as Conner un tucked and pulled up her shirt "who?" he asked, she shook her head as he pushed her shirt up higher "Ave, who did this?" he got up and went to get something to help with the bruises and pain "I'm not going to go after him, I should but I won't" she told him of just that night as he put the medicine on her back. When he finished he held her tightly, enough for her to feel safe. Then Conner whispered "you're coming home with me."
