Sorry, it's been a while, I (kind of) lost interest in updating this story. This prompt was written for EmilyLouisexx and the prompt was: Warren has beaten Kirsty and she falls down the stairs, when she wakes she struggles to remember anything. Will Adam confess how he feels and how will Jessica react?

Adam and Jessica did lose Harry, but Jessica never left after his death, so she still works in the department but her and Adam are estranged, and living together with her kids.


The Secret Life Of Casualty

Chapter 31

Kirsty Clements, with her daughter Nita and husband Warren seemed to have the perfect, life, the perfect family. But behind closed doors it was a different story. You see, Warren beat his wife every single day. It wasn't a normal relationship between them. And, their 15 - year - old daughter Nita kept getting caught in the middle of their rows. She had begged her mother to stop being nasty to her dad, she was a daddys girl.

At home Kirsty had purposely left her phone behind to avoid being called by Warren every minute of the day. But Warren was not happy.

In the staff room Kirsty was sitting in the staff room when Adam walked in, took off his stethoscope and he then sat down on the couch next to Kirsty before he stretched, and stood up, treating Kirsty to a bit of his tanned skin. "Coffee?" He asked walking over to the kettle. Kirsty didn't answer as she slipped out of the door and ran through the corridor, ignoring the concerned shouts of "Kirsty!"

Jessica was working with Zoe in RESUS making the beds, ready for patients and her and Zoe decided to go for a coffee.

Kirsty had just stepped in to the house when she heard Warren call her. She sighed, took a breath and walked in to the living room, turning to face her husband as he held her phone. He'd clearly read the innocent message she'd received from Adam that morning. He took a step towards her, forcing Kirsty to cower in to the wall; but she wasn't a victim, no, she was a survivor.

"Well?" Warren spat at her as she quickly tried to walk in to the hallway but Warren , even with Muscular Dystrophy, was to fast for he slammed her in to the wall.

"Warren, stop " Kirsty weakly pleaded as she felt his hands violently punch her. But he continued and she looked at the stairs and slowly got up and walked (slowly ) up the stairs but Warren beat her and sneered

"Are you having an affair?"

Kirsty shook her head, he'd never believe that her and Adam were just friends.

"Liar " He told her, edging dangerously close to her so that Kirsty was forced to take a step back and when she did she lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs, lying in a heap at the bottom.

Her daughter Nita was watching and was horrified. She looked up knowing she had to call an ambulance and held her mothers hand as the ambulance arrived.


"What have we got?" Asked a unamed nurse and Adam looked up.

"This is Kirsty Clemants, 33, BP 60/90 and GSC 5" The paramedics Dixie and Jeff told doctor Adam and nurse Jessica as the stretcher was taken in to RESUS and Adam put on a pair of gloves and started to assess Kirsty's injuries. She had a black eye, a broken wrist, a head injury which would need monitoring.

She'd been moved to cubicles where she was resting and was surprised when the curtain opened and doctor Trueman approached.

"Hey" He said cheekily, sitting down on the side of her bed.

"Hey " Kirsty replied, "Where's Nita?" She added, wondering where her daughter was.

"She's fine, don't worry " He told her, watching her tense shoulders relax.


Meanwhile, friends of Kirsty's, had informed police of a disturbance at the house and had called the police where Warren had struggled with the police as he tried to protest it was an accident, this time it was but it wasn't the first time the police had been called to the Clemants residence.

Back at the hospital Kirsty had just admitted to loving Adam and to his surprise, and, Jessica's heartbreak, she'd heard him admit he loved her too. She walked away slowly and spotted Nita. Taking a deep breath Nita walked over.

"Nurse Harrison? Have you seen mum?" Nita asked

"Sure " Jessica replied, guiding her to cubicles.

Hearing footsteps get closer Adam and Kirsty sprung apart, Adam fearing that the person outside was Jessica, the last thing he wanted to do was upset her, he still had feelings for her but they were no longer romantic feelings, since the death of their 9 month old son Harry, he'd felt their relationship had lost its sparkle.

"Nita " Her mum exclaimed as the curtain opened again. Jessica walked away ready to get on with treating more patients and to keep her mind off Adam and Kirsty. She walked out of the ED, allowing a single tear to slip down her cheek.

Adam held Kirsty's hand as they kissed passionately but gently, but he wasn't going to move her in, just yet as he didn't want to seem disrespectful to her or the kids he'd grown to love.

A few days later Kirsty was discharged but couldn't stand to go back to hers and Warren's house, so she sold it and brought a cheaper house as Warren's solicitor contacted her and told her that Warren was pleading not guilty and that unsettled her.

"It'll be fine " Adam reassured as Kirsty rested her head on his shoulder as they waited for Nita to come home from school so they could tell her about their relationship .
