Chapter 30

"Don't worry about it. I'm used to those types of people." Seth spoke out to calm the girls.

"I just wish that drunk people could learn not to fight especially in bars where there is glass around." A nurse huffed. Seth could only chuckle to himself.

"Dr. Rice. You have a patent." Another nurse popped her head in.

"I'll be right there." He turned to the nurses and spoke out. "Ladies, work calls."

"Oh don't, just go." The girls giggled as they watch Seth leave. Once he was out of ear shot, one of the girls spoke up.

"Dr. Rice is such a nice person."

"I agree." The nurse with blonde hair replied.

"I can't believe what he's going through, and he can still smile." "Did you notice, he's still wearing the ring on his left hand?" "Yeah I did." The burnet answered.

"I really hope everything works out." Both women looked at the direction Seth left earlier.

Seth walked into one of the rooms that help a patient. He took in a deep breath and walked into the room.

"So how are you doing today?" Seth questioned the older gentleman.

"What do you mean?" The old man yelled out. "Can't you see this cut on my arm?" Seth looked down and saw a small scratch. A little bit of blood was coming out of the wound. "Sir, you came to the ER over that tiny cut?" Seth questioned.

"What do you mean small? This cut was gushing out blood that I thought I would die." The old man yelled out.

"Do you feel like you're going to die now?" Seth questioned.

"Of course I do. What kind of question is that? Now are you going to fix or do I have to call one of you cute nurses to come and take care of it." The man started to drool from his mouth. Seth sighed. He walked over to a table and pulled out a band aid. He placed it on the man's injury. "There. You are all done." Seth smiled at the man.

"What! I don't get any more time with those nurses?" The old man smirked. Seth sighed.

"If you are coming to this ER every time you get a cut will be bad for not only you, but us as well." "But I was injured." The old man yelled out. Seth turned away from the man and headed out the room saying,

"You only came to ogle the nurses. You don't have to call a doctor to take care of you if that is the case." Seth closed the door behind him. He took in a sigh. That old man had been coming here almost every day for something.

"I'm sorry Doctor." Seth looked over to see a nurse standing next to him. "I didn't know what to do. He said he wanted a nurse to take care of him, and I know that man has a reputation of being a pervert."

Seth only smiled at the nurse.

"Don't worry about it. It has been taken care of." The nurse nodded. "Oh yeah. And there has been a fight at a club. There had been some guys brought in. Their hands need to be cleaned up, and some may even need stitches. So the real night starts. Seth thought to himself. "So what room am I going to?" Seth asked. The nurse looked over her board.

"Um. It's room 5."

"Okay. I will head there."

Heading to Room 5, Seth stopped in front of the door. He hated dealing with the drunks, especially when they are violent. He took in a few breaths in and let it out. Reaching for the handle he walked in. "Oh baby, you will be okay." A woman spoke as she rubbed the gentleman's back.

"I wish I could've beat that jackass's face in a bit more. Fucking bastard." The man hissed.

"Oh, doc. Can you look at his hand?" The man turned around and looked at Seth. Seth placed his clipboard on the small counter before walking over to the small stool. He sat down scooting himself over to the man.

"So what happened?" Seth questioned as he examined the man's hand.

"Are you serious?" Seth looked up at the man. "Oh my God! It is you." Seth was confused. He looked at the man sitting in front of him a bit longer. Sudden realization hit him. Seth looked back down at the hand covered in blood.

"It's been a while. Didn't even recognize you." How could he. Leon looked completely different than he did during school. His blonde hair was cut in the undercut style and spiked up. He had more piercing than he did before. Seth saw he had his eyebrow pierced and even more in his ears. The tank top the man wore showed off his muscular arms. He also caught the site of some tattoos that were on his right arm. He wore several neckless around his neck that hung low. The pants he wore looked pretty baggy and had several tears in them. Seth never understood that fashion.

"I could tell it was you from first glance." Leon replied as he laughed. "You haven't changed in the least. Your hair was the same from before and you still wear glasses I see."

"Oh baby, do you know this man?" The girl questions as she hung on Leon's arm. She was baby faced with blonde hair that was tied up in pigtails. Her hair was shirt so it didn't pass a couple inches out of the ponytails. She wore baggy clothes as well. Her top would fall down and you could see her undershirt and some of her bra as well.

"Yeah. He was a classmate of mine." Leon answered.

"Oh wow. So you know such a smart man." Leon looked at the woman almost in a glaring manner and replied.

"Are you saying I'm not smart?" She giggles as she held onto Leon's arm.

"I didn't say that."

"I don't think you would need too many stitches." Seth listened to the two speak as he was cleaning Leon's hand off from the blood. He got cut pretty deep, but it wasn't as bad as what he thought it was. "So you're saying I need stitches." Leon questioned Seth.

"Only a few." Seth replied. "Let me go get some anesthesia so we can get you sewn up so you can go." He slid his stool over to the counter. He grabbed the clipboard that had Leon's information on it. "Did you hear that? We can go after you get all sewn up." She rubbed her breasts against Leon's arm. Seth ignored the affection that the other man was getting.

"I will be back in a moment." Seth spoke as he left the room.
