The bully seems to always win

To my surprise Mi reacted in the complete opposite way then what I thought she would. I would of bet good money to say that there was no way she was going to calm own and I had even made a hazy plan of how I could hump over Mi to the cabinet on the far side of the room where our sedative was kept for extreme emergencies however on this occasion I would of found my self out of pocket.

Mi stopped in seconds coming to a complete stand still her hands by her side, her head looking down to the floor, her screaming compactly silent. It was exactly like someone had found a remote control for her and hit the stand by button.

Crystal took this opportunity and as fast as lightning cleared a path away of sharps and sunk to the Ensure covered ground behind Mi and forcibly made the restraint the to me seemed so unnecessary now that she had stopped. As nurses we where meant to give verbal commands and warnings and the restrain the patient didn’t respond to them, Mi had responded but crystal just didn’t care.

Mi’s crying came back then years and years of silent pain running from her eyes and echoing from her chest as she sat up close to Crystal on the floor. I wanted to knock Crystal’s heavy arms out of the way and take her place behind Mi so I could just hold her tight next to me, not restraining her but just holding her, holding her tight until her pain went away.

“Emmet!” Crystal snapped at me “restrain her legs for me!” I found too much time with Crystal almost toxic to me and I almost snapped back at her to not be such a heartless bitch. Couldn’t she see what she was doing to her, could she just not see it or comprehend the horrors this fifteen year old had endured, how the amount of pressure she held around Mi’s chest would be physically hurting her? Could she not remember that she was once young and scared too?

Sighing at not knowing what else to do I got down to my knees covering my jeans in the pick goo that lied on the floor in a puddle. Very gently I placed my hands over the tops of Mi’s legs roughly where I would have restrained and rubbed them gently with my thumb feeling every bone under the flesh while not helping wondering if I had restrained her like I would the rest of them weather or not I would of broke the bone in half.

I had silenced my alarm as soon as I had gotten into the room but from some reason crystal hadn’t stopped her distress signal from hers and as predicted if not a little late Ava and Zak rolled though tumbled through the door announcing that they had heard the alarm which Crystal now content with her audience stopped.

“Little madam thought she could attack me,” Crystal sneered and Mi’s sobs became harder it was so obviously no the case it was cruel to say it and as on cue I heard Mi sob a little harder, she was not a violent person well not to any one else at least and there was no way I was going to let Crystal get away with saying she was with out Mi knowing I was still fighting her corner.

“Actually I believe Mi was probably trying to harm her self with one of the sharps Crystal, she has no history of violence at all but much with self harm.” I countered roughly but instantly wished I hadn’t as Crystal made her restraint tighter until she was almost choking Mi, she didn’t like people back chatting to her especially a nurse who was higher in a authority to her so she would take it out on the week and Mi was the weakest party in the room.

“On the other hand,” I sighed knowing that Crystal wouldn’t give in until I agreed she could take Mi fully to the floor and sedate her I told Crystal and the others I would put Mi in the ECA until she could control her actions and calm down I also added firmly that I would be the one observing her while she was in there, it was the only way I could get her away from the god awful barley human Crystal but still I hated my self for it.
