Disclaimer: This story is pure fiction and written solely for entertainment purposes.
You had taken the case of a teenage boy brought in with a severe laceration on his leg and a possible concussion after a bike accident.
Standard procedure.
But his girlfriend, a girl no older than eighteen with eyes sharp with insecurity, made it anything but standard.
Every time you leaned in to check the boy's pupils, she stepped into your personal space. Every time you gently asked him to rate his pain on a scale of one to ten, she crossed her arms and glared.
"Is there a reason you're standing so close to him?" she finally snapped.
You paused. "I’m examining your boyfriend's injuries, miss."
"Yeah, well, you're smiling at him. You've been flirting with him since we got into this room. Do your fucking job and keep your hands to yourself."
"I am doing my job," you said, keeping your voice tightly controlled, though a pulse was beginning to throb in your temple. "I need you to step back so I can work."
"Don't tell me what to do!"
The commotion drew attention. Before you could escalate or de-escalate, Robby walked into the room. He took in the girl’s furious face, your rigid posture, and the boy looking desperately uncomfortable on the gurney.
"Everything alright in here?" Robby asked smoothly.
"Your doctor here is trying to hit on my boyfriend!" the girl shrieked, pointing an accusing finger at you.
"I'm not-"
"Doctor, why don't you step out and take five? I'll finish up here." Robby interrupted you, giving you a subtle nod.
You swallowed hard, your jaw clenched so tight it ached. "Fine."
You stripped off your gloves, tossed them into the bin, and walked out. You needed air. Real, cold, outside air.
You pushed through the double doors leading to the ambulance bay. The fresh air hit your face, but it did little to quell the heat rushing through your veins. "Fucking bitch making me angry," You murmured and leaned against the wall, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths.
You heard the doors swing open, followed by aggressive footsteps.
"Hey! Flirt!"
You opened your eyes just in time to see the girlfriend marching toward you, her face twisted in rage.
"I wasn't done talking to you-"
"Get away from me," you warned. "Go back inside."
"Make me, you bitch-"
Before you could react, her hand flew out.
Her fist connected hard with the side of your jaw.
Your head jerked sideways. Pain exploded across your face. Something inside you; weeks of brutal shifts, sleep deprivation, and the sheer audacity of being struck, just broke.
"You fucking crazy bitch!" you screamed.
You lunged. You didn't think at all. Adrenaline slammed through your system. You grabbed a handful of her hair, yanked her down, and landed a solid punch straight to her cheekbone.
She shrieked, clawing at your face, catching her nails along your collar. You dragged her to the pavement, knees slamming into the concrete. Hands pulled, fists flew, and insults were hurled back and forth in a blur of movement and violence.
You were completely blind with rage, operating purely on survival and unadulterated fury.
"Hey! HEY! Break it up!"
Strong hands suddenly seized you under your arms, hauling you backward with force.
"Get off me! I'll fucking kill her!" you spat, thrashing blindly, kicking out at the girl who was being dragged back by Jesse.
"Jesus christ, calm down girl," Jesse yelled, holding the girl who was still screaming profanities, her nose bleeding.
The hands holding you pulled you back against a chest. The scent of familiar cologne broke through the haze of your rage.
"I've got her. Jesse, get that girl inside," a deep voice barked near your ear.
Dr. Frank Langdon.
"Frank, let me go!" you shouted, still squirming, your fists clenched so tight your knuckles were white. "Let me fucking go!"
Frank didn't say a word. He kept a firm grip on you, practically half dragging, half guiding your body away from the ambulance bay.
He shoved open the door to an empty exam room, hauled you inside, and kicked the door shut with his feet.
"Frank-"
In a flash, Frank spun you around, backing you up until your spine hit the wall.
He stepped right into your space, his large hand coming up to wrap firmly around the front of your neck, not choking you, but holding you in place.
"Calm the fuck down, baby," Frank growled, his face inches from yours, his grip firm. "Look at me."
You blinked, your chest heaving, tears of pure adrenaline pricking the corners of your eyes.
"Hey, calm down," he said calmly, commanding you.
"Frank... she fucking hit me-"
"I know, baby," he rasped, his grip on your neck softening into a possessive squeeze, his thumb tracing the rising bruise on your jaw. "I know she did. I saw it. But you're a doctor, and you're completely out of your mind right now."
He leaned down, his breath fanning across your lips.
He didn't pull his hand away until he felt the violent rhythm of your breathing finally settle into something manageable. But the residual rage remained, vibrating right under your skin.
You were practically humming with bad energy, your body rigid, jaw locked, eyes blazing with fury.
Frank let out a heavy breath, his thumb sweeping over your lower lip one last time before he stepped back to lock the exam room door properly.
"Sit," he ordered softly, gesturing toward the stainless-steel exam table.
You didn't move for a second, glaring at the floor as if you could set it on fire. Then, you shoved yourself up onto the table.
Your legs swung rhythmically, knees knocking together, knuckles still bright red and raw.
Frank pulled up a rolling stool, wheeling it right near your knees so you were forced to look at him.
"Give me your hands first, baby," he murmured, reaching out.
You thrust your hands forward, refusing to make eye contact. Your knuckles were red from where you’d cracked her across the cheekbone.
Every time he pressed down, your whole body twitched, muscle tension practically radiating off you in waves.
"Seriously, baby, calm down," Frank muttered, eyes flicking up to assess your face. "Still want to go back out there and rip her hair out?"
"She split my lip and bruised my jaw," you spat out. "If Jesse hadn't pulled her off, I would've broken her fucking nose for being a jealous bitch."
"I know you would have, baby," he said, zero judgment in his voice. "I'm almost impressed, if I wasn't so busy trying to keep Robby from firing you on the spot."
"Let him," you snapped, leaning your head back against the wall, teeth grinding. "I don't care."
"Liar," Frank grunted softly. He discarded the gauze and picked up a clean swab, dabbing gently at the cut on your cheekbone.
You winced, a hiss escaping your teeth and tried to flinch away.
Frank’s large hand immediately clamped around your thigh, holding you dead in place. "Ah-ah. Hold still, sweet face."
"It stings," you muttered, glaring at him.
"That's what happens when you roll around on the concrete, baby," he replied, though his touch was gentle as he cleaned the tiny gravel scrapes near your hairline. "You're lucky she didn't catch you in the eye."
"I hit her harder," you grumbled.
Frank chuckled, curing your lip and shaking his head as he unwrapped an ice pack. "Yeah. Yeah, you did. You nearly knocked her teeth out, baby."
He leaned in to wrap around the nape of your neck, gently tilting your head up. He pressed the ice pack against your swollen jaw. You winced again, your body stiffening, but Frank didn't let go. He held the ice there, forcing you to meet his eyes.
"Look at me," he murmured, his thumb stroking the tender skin behind your ear. "This bad energy? Drop it. It's done. I'm handling the paperwork, Robby's probably discharging the kid, and that girl is getting escorted off by security before she can open her mouth again."
"Frank-"
"I mean it, baby," he cut in. "Drop it, and let your boyfriend fix you up. Okay?"
You stared at him, the angry heat in your chest slowly colliding with the warmth radiating from his hands. A sigh finally rattled out of your chest, your shoulders dropping.
"Okay," you whispered, leaning your forehead weakly against him.
Frank rested his chin on top of your head, his hand staying firm on your neck, holding you close while the ice slowly numbed the throbbing pain. "Good girl," he grunted softly, kissing your hair.
Then, the door opened and Robby stepped inside. He took one look at the scene: you perched on the table with an ice pack glued to your face, Frank hovering over you like a protective guard dog.
A smirk spread across his face.
"How's my little fighter doing?" Robby asked, leaning back against the doorframe with his arms crossed.
You shot him a glare through your good eye, though the effect was entirely ruined by the ice pack pressed to your jaw. "I'm fine, Robby."
"Yeah, you look great," Robby chuckled, shaking his head. "Jesse’s out there boasting to the staff that you’ve got a mean left hook. Said you almost took the girl's head clean off."
Frank didn't move an inch away from you. He kept his hand firmly planted on your neck.
"She started it, Robby," Frank grunted defensively. "The girl laid a hand on her first. Out in the bay."
"I know she did, Frank, I saw the security footage on my way over," Robby said, his softening. He looked directly at you, giving you a fatherly look. "For the record? You're off that case. And off the floor for the next two hours until that jaw stops throbbing and you stop looking like you want to punch whoever breathes wrong beside you."
"Robby, I can work-" you started, trying to sit up straighter.
"You're taking them, baby," Frank cut in smoothly, his grip tightening just enough on your neck to keep you rooted to the table. "Don't argue."
Robby stifled a grin, pushing off the doorframe. "Listen to your boyfriend. And your attending. I told security to escort the girl off, and her boyfriend is getting transferred to another hospital. No charges are being filed, but if I see you fighting someone on the ambulance bay again today, I'm assigning you to digital rectal exams for a month."
"Understood," you muttered.
"Good." Robby checked his watch, flashing a quick look between the two of you. "Ice it for twenty more minutes. And, Langdon? Try to keep your bratty girlfriend from starting any more underground fight clubs in my ER."
"HEY!" you screamed in offense.
"She's your resident, you know?"
"My resident. Your brat. Control her."
"No promises," Frank grunted back, smirking.
As the door clicked shut behind Robby, Frank let out a snort, bringing his gaze back down to yours. "You heard him, baby. Mouth shut. No more punches."
