Thanks for all of the kind-reviews so far-guys. :D. I love reading-them. :D.
Adam's POV.
I raced to Kirsty's as quickly as I could, how could she even think of going back-there, back to HIM? After what she had showed me this morning? I didn't get her, one-minute, she was afraid, and kisses-me, and the next-minute she's pushing-me away, and telling-me that she has to go back-to-him. I wish she could make her mind-up already, but whatever that decision was, I wasn't going to let Warren continue to treat-her in this way. I treated victims of Domestic-Abuse almost Daily, I knew how they turned-out when they refused to take any-form of help. They were weak and self-conscious, and had no-pride in themselves. No human should have to go through that.
But Kirsty was different, Kirsty held-out a strong-attitude at work, it didn't take-much to crack-her, but she had convinced herself that everything was going to be okay, that Warren was going to change. But from what I've seen as a Doctor, people like that never-change...
I pulled-up outside Kirsty's house, ready to carry-her to my car if I had to, Nita wouldn't be home from school-yet. Everything was going smoothly, and to plan, but that was just when my luck ran-out. My phone started ringing persistantly. 'Nick Jordan Calling.'
"Ahh Not-Now Nick." I muttered to myself as I hoped for dear-life that he would stop-calling. Eventually, I just hung-up, I could deal with him later, Kirsty came-first, she was mroe-important.
He rang-again. I stared at the screen for a couple of seconds, then flicked my sight to Kirsty's front-door. What was going on in there? I couldn't hang-up again? Nick would get suspicious.
I pressed the green-phone button and I answered in a harsh-tone.
"If Zoe's dobbed-me in I swear I'll..." I began angrily, but Nick interupted-me. Typical Nick.
"Adam, where are you? You can't just go-off-shift like-that." Nick ranted at me. This wasn't the time for this. Kirsty could be dying in there, and I'm on the phone to my power-headed BOSS!
"I didn't just go-off-shift Nick, there's been an emergency!" I shouted down the phone.
"Well what sort of emergency would that be Adam? Did Jessica come-back or something?" Nick asked-me. That was out-of-line and he obviously didn't believe-me.
"Leave-Me alone Nick, we'll deal with this later." I told-him firmly before I put the phone-down on him. Maybe when Kirsty was led in Resus he'd believe-me?
Kirsty's POV.
I stared at the Wedding-Ring which Warren was holding between his fingers. I feared for what was coming-next, knowing all too well what was.
"Where'd you find-that?" I asked Warren vulnerably, still stood at a safe-distance, on the opposite side of the room to him.
"Not where I should've found-it...on ya finger!" He taunted as he slowly rose to his feet then approached-me.
"I'm S-sorry, it must've f-fallen-off when I was d-doing the washing-up or s-something?" I stuttered as I felt the tears of fear forming in the back-of-my-eyes.
"Yeah you will be Sorry, wanted to be Single at work did we? Who is he? What's 'is name eh Kirsty?" He questioned as he got-up in my face, practically spitting-out every-word.
If I had the guts to do-it, I would've said 'Adam' straight to his face. But I didn't want to get Adam hurt, and besides, things were a bit complicated between Myself and Adam at the moment. I wasn't really full-on cheating on Warren...was I? Yes I had kissed Adam, and yes, I loved-him more than anything in the world...even Warren! But I wouldn't call the relationship between Me and Adam an affair. We hadn't had sex, and he meant more to me than just someone to kiss every now and again. He was more of a close-friend to me at the moment. But that didn't mean that I didn't want-more from-him...
Whilst all these thoughts ran-through my-head, what I had failed to realise was that there had been a long and terrifying-pause, between Warren's awkward-question, and my awaited-answer.
"There's No-One...Warren..." I said calmly, but fearfully to him.
"WHY ARE YOU LIEING?" He yelled into my face as he threw my Wedding-Ring to the other-side fo the room. So much for finding that again...
"I'm Not. Lieing. Warren." I told him firmly as he grabbed me by the throat then dragged me to the floor. I couldn't fight-back against Warren, he was too strong, too powerful. Instead I just closed-my-eyes, and hoped for the best. I hoped that it would all be over-soon as Warren's foot continuously met with my stomach with force. With bruised-ribs, and a possible fractured-rib already caused my him, this was more painful than any-one-human could possibly imagine.
Adam's POV.
I eventually managed to get-out of the car and pelted-it up the steps towards Kirsty's front-door, missing a step each-time, so I reached the top more-quickly. I could hear Kirsty screaming. At least she was still conscious...I just hoped that I wasn't too late. I banged on the door loudly, letting Warren know that they were no-longer-alone.
"KIRSTY!" I shouted from just outside their front-door as I continued to knock-it loudly.
"OW Warren-stop." I could hear muffled-yells from Kirsty, followed-by threats from Warren.
"You know what happens when you lie to me. And the more you tell-me to stop, the more I think that you're LYING TO ME. So I'll carry-on." I heard Warren taunt.
That was it. I couldn't allow this to go-on for any-longer, it was obvious that Kirsty was in no-position to let-me-in at the moment, and Warren quite obviously wasn't going to stop beating his wife just to let ME in.
I ran at the door, charging-into it with my shoulder to try and break-it-down. After about 3 Attempts, I gave-up, and instead, I punched the glass through the window on the door. I would regret that when the Police-Investigations started...But it was too late to worry-about that now, I reached my hand into the front-door and with a bit of fiddling, I managed to let myself-in. I charegd through the house, trying to find my loved-one and her beast of a husband. I was so grateful that Nita was at school, and so was unable to witness this terrible-scene.
"WARREN!" I shouted like an angry-bear as I searched the house. Ready to tear this monster to shreds.
It didn't take long for me to find-them. Kirsty was led on the floor, crying as she held her stomach-in pain, and Warren was stood-over her, just about ready to move his beatings onto her face. But I wouldn't let that happen. I took a deep-breath-in, then charged at Warren and tackled-him to the ground with all the force that I had left-in. He punched-me in the face, to get me off-of him, making my nose-bleed. But I didn't care,
as long as I could get Kirsty out of here. She was conscious thank-goodness. I crouched-down beside-her, and quickly picked-her-up into my arms, she was in too much pain to walk anywhere, let-alone run-anywhere. I then began to carry her outside. Warren tried to follow, heaving-forwards and grabbing onto my leg, and I struggled to keep my balance with Kirsty in my arms, but I managed-it and heeled Warren in the face, knocking-him-out. But I'd let the ambulance-deal with him. That's if I even bothered to call-one.
Kirsty's POV.
Through the blurred-vision, that had been caused by the floods of tears streaming down my face, I could briefly make-out the image of Adam storming-in, getting Warren-off-of me, then carrying-me outside. Who cared what had happened to Warren during the scuffle? I certainly didn't, now-now anyway. I was fully-conscious, which made it worse for me, as the pain was throbbing from my stoamach. I held onto Adam, tightly wrapping my arms around his neck and shoulders as he carried-me to his car, ignoring the fact that his nose was bleeding pretty-badly, before gently placing me in the front-passenger-seat. I cried as he let go of me.
"Don't Leave-Me." I begged-him, grabbing his arm as he went to shut the door, but stopped as I grabbed-him.
He crouched-down beside-me and ran a hand through my hair. "I'm not going anywhere Kirsty, I'm just gonna get-in the Drivers-Seat, that's all, I promise." He told-me softly, and I nodded as he gave my hand a quick-squeeze then shut the passenger-car-door, before walking-around to the Drivers-Seat, and getting-in beside-me, as he had promised-me that he would.
Adam just drove as I cried in pain. I swear he must've been breaking every driving-related-law as he sped through the streets of Holby, eventually skidding to a holt in the ED Car-Park, almost running-over Henry, but stopping just in-time.
Adam's POV.
I climbed-out of the car, blood-pouring from my nose, from Warren's punch, and Henry staring daggers at me.
"ARE YOU MAD? YOU ALMOST KILLED-ME!" Henry yelled-at-me, as I ran-round to Kirsty's side of the car.
"Well be glad I didn't." I spat at him angrily as I opened the door and picked-Kirsty-up into my arms once-again.
Henry looked-shocked as I carried Kirsty passed-him. "Now just shut-up, and help-me here." I said to him, quietly, but forcefully.
Henry ran to the ED Doors and held-them open for me as I carefully carried Kirsty, a good-few paces behind-him.
Kirsty gripped onto me for dear-life as she cried into my chest whilst I carried-her. "It's okay Kirsty, it's okay, you're gonna be just-fine." I re-assured her softly before I placed a gentle-kiss onto her forehead.
"Thank-You." She whispered to me tearfully as the pain became to much for her and she passed-out in my arms, her head falling against my shoulder.
I walked-into the ED with Kirsty in my arms, blood dripping everywhere from my nose was bleeding and everyone looked-at-me in shock. Nick especially. Man, I bet he was feeling-guilty now for not-believing me earlier.
"Okay, Straight into Resus Please." Nick ordered and I followed his instructions before laying Kirsty on the bed and placing an Oxygen-Mask over-her.
"Alright, can we get the Monitors set-up please, and can we do ABC & D's. Thank-You." I ordered-loudly, quickly wiping-away the blood that was now streaming from my nose as I tenderly-stroked Kirsty's hair away from her face, adjusting her Oxygen-Mask a little so that it was in the right-place. Tears filled my eyes as I watched the one I loved be treated.
I felt Nick's hand land onto my shoulder.
"Adam take a rest please, and get yourself cleaned-up." He told-me gently, it was obvious that I was upset. I just hoped that this trauma wouldn't set rumours-going about Mine and Kirsty's relationship, that was the last-thing I needed...that was the last-thing SHE needed...
I looked-up at Nick tearfully, before turning to face-him. "Don't. Loose. Her. Do you hear me Nick?" I said, in an almost-threatening-tone, her injuries weren't life-threatening, but I was just worried for Kirsty.
I slowly walked-out of Resus with tears in my eyes, and blood pouring from my nose. But I didn't really-care about-that. As-long as Kirsty was okay, that was all that mattered.
Zoe took me on board as I reached-reception and insisted that I went to Cubicles and got myself cleaned-up. She ushered me off with Jay before heading-into Resus herself to take-my-place. At-least I knew that Kirsty was being treated by the best-of-the-best Doctors in this Country, let-alone this ED...
AHHH!
