KirstyPOV

"Shut the hell up, bitch! You know what happens to women who cheat on their husbands!" He said, slapping me over the face. I felt my lip split, and I wiped the blood from my bloody jaw, and looked at Warren in disgust.

"Why?" I asked him, but he just punched me in my stomach, so that I doubled over. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, got up and walked over to Warren, my bloody scrubs swaying each step I took.

"Why would you do this to someone who helped save hundreds of lives?" I said, not meaning to big myself up.

"What? Oh, you helped did you?" he asked, the sarcasm ringing through his voice. He turned and started walking away, but I held onto his arm.

"Let go of me, slut. Let go, now." He roared. But I didn't obey. I've known that if I follow him around, obeying to his every command, he won't stop. But, if I stand up to him…

"Let go, I said!" Warren exclaimed, loud enough for a Doctor to come rushing in.

"Is everything alright, Mrs. Clements?" She asked, her voice faltering.

"Yes, I was just having a little chat with my dear husband." I sneered. That was mean!

"Please, Mrs. Clements, I suggest that you go back into your bed, actually, we're going to move you over to cubicles, now that we have fixed all your minor cuts. Oh, Tess," the young doctor said, just as Tess was wheeling in Adam.

"You can take Mrs. Clements for her x-ray now."

Tess looked delighted to see me; she got Adam comfortable, and then helped me into my wheelchair. "Thanks Tess." I told her.

She was smiling, and said, "You deserve it, Kirsty. You were a real heroine back at Holby."

She took me into a large white room, which had another 'room' inside of it. "Just stay there and when we tell you to, take a deep breath, because we're checking your ribs first. Then we'll do your arm."

She walked out of the room, shutting the door."Okay, Kirsty, can you take a big deep breath?" she asked, her voice was muffled slightly by the glass.

There was a flash, and it was over. Quick and painless, like removing a sticky plaster.

"Okay, now we're going to x-ray your arm, so Nurse Karter will help you." Tess said again.

Nurse Karter wheeled me over to the bench which stood in the corner of the room. "Can you please put your arm on here?" she asked, she looked younger than me, and probably was, but she was polite and gentle. Unlike my swine of a husb... That was mean!

I placed my arm onto the table, gently so I wouldn't hurt myself, but I did that enough already. She stretched out my arm, which made me wince a little, but I took the pain, like I did when Warren was beating me.

She stayed in the room, however. But it was only to keep my arm straight. "OK, we're all done here, I think." Nurse Karter said to me and Tess.

"Do you reckon I can get her plastered up now, or will we have to wait until the x-rays come back?" Tess asked Miss Carter.

"They're done now, we'll have a look and see what damage you've done Kirsty!" she laughed.

Tess wheeled me through to the small room where we had a look at the x-rays. "There is one clear break there, so we will have to pop that back into place, and Tess will get you plastered up."

Miss Karter took me into the plaster room, and asked me if I wanted gas and air. I said 'no', and explained again that I'd dealt with worse. There was a sharp pain, but then it felt almost normal. Tess started to bandage round my arm, and then she applied the plaster.

"I can see why I hated this job when I was younger!" she laughed.

"What colour would you like?" Red, purple, blue, green?" She said, making me feel like a seven year old.

"Purple please." I said. I'd always liked that colour, and I'm sure Adam had noticed. Anyway, let's focus on the future.

A/N. I keep asking questions, but I never answer them! Sorry! In the next chapter, there should be some hidden answers.
