sweet - as -honey: Thank you for the review. I really enjoyed writing it.
Is-there-somewhere-x: Thank you for the review. I'm glad you liked the addition of Taylor, I liked the Cal and Taylor pairing in the show. I think it was because I like Sarah - Janye Dunn as an actress.
Chapter rated T for sexual scenes, nothing too graphic, but I think a warning may be needed.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 217.
Flashback
A man nursing a whisky was sat at a bar, he once had a family, but now he was alone, because his ex -wife had moved on with another man, and had recently had his baby. Sean was seething, nobody took away his family and got away with it. He wanted revenge.
He looked around and saw her. A blonde woman, that he knew or rather his ex - wife knew. Linda Andrews. He got up, left his drink and followed her down a corridor. He grabbed her, she tried to scream but he clamped a hand roughly over her mouth.
The woman tried to get away from her attacker, but in her haste, he had ripped her top, she kicked out at him, anything to let him to release her.
He flung her to the ground as he walked away, leaving her distraught at what had just happened.
End of flashback.
Linda was sat in the staff room on her break when the memory suddenly come to her, she had no idea how it had and was just wondering how to make it stop when her friend and colleague Staff Nurse Jessica Harrison walked in.
"Are you OK?" Jessica asked, noticing her friends silence.
"Sean attacked me. " Linda said, wondering how Jessica would react as her and Sean had been married, they had two kids together.
Jessica was shocked that her ex - husband would do that. She knew that he had a temper but she didn't know that he would go that far. She remembered when he attacked her, but Adam had came to her rescue. She put her arms around Linda and hugged her tight. Tess walked in to the staff room, looked over at the two women and left them again.
"I don't want to go to the police. " Said Linda as she thought that they wouldn't believe her.
"OK" Jessica said.
Jessica stood up, walked over to the counter and got Linda's mug out of the cupboard, each nurse had their own mug and were responsible for washing their own mugs. She filled the mug and put it on the table, Linda struggled to pick it up as her arm was in a sling. It had happened when she was out with a few friends, she had got up on the table as a dare and after a few shots, she had lost her balance and fell, landing on her arm. Her friends had called an ambulance and she had been admitted in to Holby Hospital with a sprained wrist. It wasn't serious but a nurse had put it in a sling, just to keep it safe.
She left the hospital and headed back to her flat, sitting around most days, until she heard from a friend that the ED were looking for another nurse. She filled in the application form, and was called in for an interview, Tess and Charlie were interviewing her. She didn't hear from them for a while, so she assumed she hadn't got the job, but she got a call, telling her that she had been successful, she was to start on the Monday.
On, the Monday, Tess showed her around and gave her a set of scrubs, she was to start off on easy tasks: such as making the beds in cubicles, cleaning out bedpans.
When Jessica realised that Linda was working with her, she was excited to have her friend back by her side.
The two were sat in the staff room, on a break.
And that's how she got talking to Jessica about her ordeal.
Jessica felt guilty, even though it wasn't her fault. She hugged Linda again.
The police had informed Linda that Sean had been arrested and wasn't allowed to go near her, she felt relieved as it meant he couldn't do what he did to her, to another woman.
After their shift, Jessica invited Linda back to her house and let her stay in Harry's old room.
The cot had been replaced by a double bed, the baby blue curtains that hung were now replaced by white curtains, but Harry hadn't been forgotten as there were pictures of him in frames on the landing, hanging on the wall.
"Thanks for doing this Jess" Linda said gratefully as the two sat in the living room, drinking their drinks.
"It's fine. "
Linda had an appointment tomorrow in the morning to check her wrist, but then she was back to work, when it was done. She had been doing what she was asked. She had been resting her wrist.
When the next morning come around, Linda was up early, in her uniform, while Jessica had gone to the shops to buy some bread and milk. She put the groceries in the fridge and went upstairs to put on her scrubs, putting her hair up in a bun.
Linda left the house first as she was on an early shift and Jessica caught up with her on another break. They stood outside and while Linda smoked her cigarette, Jessica enjoyed the sun, it was nice to see the friends reunited .
Hope that wasn't too confusing.
Next chapter: Rita is desperate to get Iain back, after her lies about Mark have been exposed. But Iain wants to move on, who will he choose to move on with? Prompted by LindaAndrewsfan.
I decided to add a few extra detail's in to this as it just seemed a bit plain to me when I had wrote the scenes that I needed too.
