I hear the front door being unlocked as I finish putting on my scrubs, Oli's voice filling the house and Cindy's eagerly greeting Jason. The whole day we stayed out of each other's way. I had the television in my hands and she sat in the basement the whole time doing god knows what down there.

"Tori? Where are you?" Oli calls out.

"I'll be there in a second," I answer as I grab my jacket, wallet and phone. The only thing I replaced was my coat and phone but thank goodness I still had my wallet with me. It'd be such a hassle to replace my driver's license, health card, and all the other cards I need. I tug on my jacket and stuff my things in the pockets as I quickly walk down the hall and stairs to where Oli is waiting for me.

"Tori, I'm home," he exclaims as he jumps into my arms.

"Welcome home," I say chuckling at his enthusiasm.

"We're going to play so many games after I finish my homework because uncle said I have to but then we can play," he says in one breath.

"That sounds like a lot of fun but I have to go to work right now," I tell him in a gentle voice.

"Why? Why do you have to go? I want to play with you," he whines as he holds on to the sides of my jacket. A soft smile tugs at my lips and I gently pry his hands off of me, taking them mine and crouching down to his level even if my leg is crying in pain.

"I have work at the hospital today, I help kids just like I do at school but I promise to play with you tomorrow, deal?" I ask still smiling.

"Okay, deal," he says pouting. I feel hands on my arms as they help me stand I turn to look at Jason who's holding onto me.

"You sure that was a good idea? What if you pulled the stitches," he says in a low voice looking at me in concern. I look back at Oli who's watching us, his eyes owlishly wide.

"It's fine, it was only for a couple of seconds," I say squeezing his hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Cindy questions cutting in and for a moment I forgot she was standing here watching the whole time.

"Tori got hurt in the car," Oli pipes up answering for me. She stays silent for a moment before looking up at me with a glare.

"You were the one in the crash with him? So it was your fault it happened then," she says in anger, stepping up to pull Oli towards her. "He almost died because of you, you poor child. Jason are you really with her still even though she's the one that got our nephew into an accident?" her voice rising in pitch with each word. My voice is stuck in my throat because even though she doesn't know the whole story, she is right that it was my fault. I feel the hand around mine tighten and I look up at Jason.

"An accident is an accident, Cindy. Victoria and Oli were on the receiving end and there is nothing that can prove it was her fault it happened. Those are the facts I got after a separate division investigated it," Jason replies cooly.

"But Jason, what if it happens again," she says disagreeing.

"It won't happen again," he snaps, his eyes frighteningly cold. "Let me walk you to the car," he says to me, the anger in his voice disappearing. Oli pulls himself back from her to give me another hug.

"Bye Tori," he says squeezing me before running upstairs. I slip on my sneakers and both of us walk past Cindy who's clearly annoyed that her attempt to make Jason hate me was ignored. I wonder if another woman was in my position would she be doing the same? Probably.

"We only have one more day with her left, and I feel a headache coming she'll try to keep me company while you're gone," he sighs as he hands me the keys.

"Give her a reminder who you're with," I say turning to face him. I see Cindy standing at the door watching the two of us though Jason can't see since his back is turned to her. My lips curve into a smirk and I place my hand on the back of his neck, tugging on the short hair.

"What are you trying to do sweetheart," he asks wrapping an arm around my waist.

"It sucks we have unwanted company, I've been wanting you to fuck me," the smirk on my lips getting wider, Jason pauses for a second before his lips mirror mine.

"One day sweetheart, only one day," he says leaning close to me.

"You better make the wait worth it," I tease and he chuckles darkly.

"Only for you sweetheart," he says surging forward to connect our lips, a small moan escaping from my mouth when I feel his hands move up my waist, brushing the skin under my shirt. I lift my hand slightly and curl four of my fingers, my middle pointed right at our audience. I let it stay there for a couple of seconds before moving it back to his neck, tightly gripping the back of it as our mouths continue to move before pulling back for air.

"I'll need to take a cold shower now cause of you," he murmurs to me. I glance down to see the bulge in his pants and a snort escapes my lips. I also notice the one person who was watching us disappeared back inside.

"As much as I wouldn't mind helping, I have work to get to but maybe another time," I chuckle as I give him a peck before opening the driver's seat.

"I'll get you back sweetheart," he smirks. "Text me when you get to work and when you're coming home later. I want to make sure you're safe."

"I will, see you later and good luck with the bitch," I tell him as I close the door. I start the engine, backing out of the driveway into the street, waving to Jason as I drive away. I turn on the radio, listening to the news in the city as I drive to the hospital. Traffic is light so I reach before four o'clock, the time I should be starting.

I park the car in the employee's section before getting out, texting Jason as I walk to the entrance. I stop to greet the security guards, both asking if I'm doing well enough to be back at work. I've rested enough and I know nurses are always needed here so I can't have too much rest.

"Victoria, I heard you were coming back today!" a voice shouts excitedly at me.

"Hey Helen and yeah. I'm getting checked first before going to the pediatric ward. It's healing nicely," I reply as she comes closer to me.

"I'm so glad to hear you're doing okay. I was so shocked to see you were being wheeled in that day, my heart almost stopped," she says hugging me quickly. "It's good to see you're back on your feet."

"It's great to be back but I have to get going to meet Dr. Skyes," I tell her.

"Yes, get going, I'll swing by later to see you," she says patting my arm. I wave goodbye to her before making my way deeper inside the hospital to where the doctor's offices are located. I stop in front of Dr. Skyes door, knocking it before opening it when a voice tells me to enter.

"Victoria, how are you today? I didn't realize you were coming back," Dr. Skyes greets when he sees me.

"I didn't want to continue to sit around," I tell him.

"Let's see how that scar is healing so you can get on your way. We'll go to one of the rooms that's currently free," he says standing up. I follow him out and he stops by a bin grabbing a hospital gown for me. "Just take off the pants and put this on," he says handing it to me as we stop outside a room. I go inside and quickly strip out of my pants, putting it on top of my shirt and sitting down on the bed. I tell him to come in once I finished changing.

"I think it's healing pretty well," I say holding the gown up to the scar.

"Yes, it looks like it's healing well," he says snapping gloves onto his hands. There's still some swelling but that's to be expected since it's not fully recovered. Does it hurt when I do this?" he asks pressing down on it.

"Just a bit," I answer when pain goes through me from the pressure.

"Have you taken any medication? Can you lie on your stomach for me, I want to see the back as well," he asks.

"No, even if it does hurt at times it wasn't enough I needed to take something for it," I answer as he checks the other scar behind me since the metal made a clean exit in my thigh.

"I see. The stitches are starting to fade and I don't see anything concerning at this time," he says straightening.

"So I'm good to go then?" I ask sitting back up.

"You're good to go but if you start to see any discoloration or you feel your leg is heavy every time you lift it come back here immediately," he instructs as he takes off the gloves and goes to wash his hands.

"I will," I tell him. "Thanks so much Dr. Skyes."

"You're welcome, have a good day," he says stepping back out. Alright time to get to work. I take off the gown putting back on my pants and I walk out, stopping to toss the gown I was wearing into a bin before making my way to the other side of the hospital.

A couple of kids see me and are excited to see me when I enter the ward and I know I've really missed this. It always breaks my heart to see them here but I always try to put a smile on their faces when I'm here. Not to mention this is also a welcome distraction from all the crazy that's currently in my life.

"Hey, I'm home," I call out as I unlock the door. I ended up finishing later than expected, past midnight since there was an influx of patients tonight. I messaged Jason to let him know that I was on my way home but I haven't heard from him so I don't know, maybe he fell asleep? He did look a little haggard when he came home in the afternoon, must have been a busy day for him.

I turn off all the lights downstairs before quietly making my way upstairs, no need to wake everyone else up. I stop by Oli's room to see him in a deep sleep, and smile when I see his plushie in a tight grip in his hands as he dreams whatever kids dream about. I step back out and continue to make my way down the hall.

"Jason, hey, I'm home. You already fell asleep?" I ask as I flick on the bedroom lights. I stop in my tracks at the sight in front of me. Cindy nonchalantly sits up, clutching the sheet on the bed to her chest and there's no doubt in my mind she's naked under that.

"Oh, Victoria, you're home already? I was supposed to be gone before you got here," Cindy says with a nasty grin. It only gets wider when I don't say anything, obviously enjoying the turmoil going on in my head. But no, something isn't right here. Instead of stomping out of the room like Cindy is expecting me to, I walk up to where Jason is still snoring away and roughly shake him awake.

"Hey sweetheart, you just got home?" he questions, his voice thick with sleep still.

"Mind explaining to me what the fuck is going on?" I ask sharply.

"What do you mean?" he says blinking at me in confusion.

"I didn't realize you needed a bedwarmer Jason," I say looking at Cindy who's still clutching the sheet to her chest. He turns to look beside him and immediately sits up, jumping off the bed away from Cindy.

"Cindy, what the fuck is going on? I don't have time for bullshit so you better start explaining now," he snarls and this is the same level of anger he had when Oli and I were in the crash.

"Jason, how could you forget what we were doing earlier. You fucked me so hard," she says with a pout. "You told me you were going to leave her."

"Cindy, do you think I'm playing some fucking game with you? That I'd fuck a sewer rat like you?" he growls out. "You think I'm going to take this bullshit?"

"Jason, why would you say that to me?" she says, crocodile tears streaming down her face. I scoff at the act she's putting up.

"You know I hate your guts Cindy yet you try this? You're very lucky you're a woman otherwise I'd knock your ass out," he snarls. "Fuck this. I don't know why I even let you stay here." He angrily walks out of the room, and I watch him disappear down the hall, and I follow him as he goes down the stairs before making a turn to go towards, the basement? Is he doing what I think he's doing?

I wait a couple of seconds and soon hear footsteps walking back on the main floor and from my vantage point, I watch him carry Cindy's things, open the door before throwing it outside. He leaves the door open before climbing back up the stairs, walking past me back to his room.

"Get out," he tells her.

"Jason," she whines pitifully.

"Get the fuck out Cindy, I mean it," he snaps. The fake act she had going on drops as she scowls at him.

"I can't believe you'd pick her over me," she says as she gets off the bed taking the sheet with her. She has her bra on, obvious from the strap sitting on her shoulder but I don't think she brought her underwear here.

"Shut the fuck up and keep walking, you can take that with you," he tells her. She passes by him and he follows behind her while I follow behind him as she goes down the stairs. She sees the door open and all her things littered on the ground.

"Jason, why are all my things outside?" she asks looking at him in shock.

"I told you to get the fuck out," he says crossing his arms, glaring coldly at her.

"But I'm naked under this," she splutters.

"You should have fucking thought of that before thinking you could get naked in my bed while my girlfriend was gone," he answers crisply. "The door is that way Cindy, we'll never be seeing each other again." I have no ounce of sympathy for her.

She takes one last look at Jason, hoping he'll change his mind but when she sees he's not changing his stance she knows its a lost cause. She picks up her shoes and walks outside and he goes to the door, slamming it in her face the sound echoing around us. It's silent for a moment and I hear him take in a deep breath before sighing as he turns to face me.

"Victoria," he says walking up to me.

"I know, I know you didn't do anything. Of course I knew it was only her," I say placing my hands on his cheek. "I only feel bad that you were even sleeping beside her."

"Thank you for trusting me," he tells me as he kisses me softly.

"I'm going to take a quick shower so do me a favour. Please change the sheets on the bed, if I lie there I'll just end up taking another shower again," I tell him. "And I think tonight I'll sleep down here, I'm too annoyed to stay up there."

"I'll bring a spare blanket and we can camp here together tonight, how does that sound?" he asks holding on to me.

"I'd like that very much," I say to him as I lean in to kiss him again. I'll be honest seeing him like that, fuck, he was so sexy, but, I'll keep that little bit of information to myself.

A/N Jason, who adores Jason?? I bet none of you were expecting him to do that. I was writing the first half and the second simultaneously, I couldn't just focus on one.

The chapter ended up a little longer so I'll leave it at this but don't forget to leave your thoughts of the chapter in the comments!
