The Good Doctor - Multi-Chapter, Romance, no supernatural elements, Maddox had a bad habit of looking for trouble, but one night in the ER and he finds something even more exciting then that. Can Maddox put his self destructive behavior aside to show the Good Dr. he's more than just a broken doll. “What happened to him?” The doctor’s voice came out soft and breathless, and he wasn’t surprised. “Who did this?” The young boy lying in the hospital bed in front of him was unconscious; thick, dark eyelashes peaked out from under a mop of curly brown hair and rested across pale skin. With a slightly trembling hand the young doctor reached for the chart hanging on the end of the bed. Maddox Rhode, he was older then he looked but still young at 21. A young man instead of a boy. One cracked rib, a black eye and a split lip. His knuckles were split open from where he obviously fought back and he had a nasty scratch on his check from what could have been a ring. He had taken a beating and it made the doctor’s chest ache. The records said he sustained blunt force trauma to the head knocking him out cold. “Got into a fight in an ally. Not sure who started it.” The young nurse overseeing the boy answered, the doctor remembered her name to be Kayla. The doctor let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “But I bet we can tell who finished it.” “You know how people always say, ‘you should see the other guy’?” “Yes?” “Well, Doc, you should see the other guy.” The nurse gestured to a bed a few feet away. After a final glance at the pale young man he made his way to the other bed. This man was older and much larger, surprisingly in much worse shape. His jaw would have to be wired shut and for the smaller kid’s broken rib this man had three of his own. He had a matching black eye and a wound that would need stitches underneath it. “Dr. Green? The little guy, he did this?” Doctor Green looked up and smirked, “I take it this is the first time you’ve seen him come in here?” “Does it happen often?” “Oh yea. Kid gets into a lot of fights, he may be small but he be fierce. Just don’t let him hear you call him kid. He hates it, and really, he’s not as young as he looks.” With a small smile Dr.Green got back to his patient. “Maddox’s in here at least twice a month.”
