Chapter 3
He was fed up. Everyone was fed up. They had been sitting in the waiting area for hours. Litterly hours. 9 hours. Not that he was counting.
The doctors wouldn’t tell them shit because they weren’t his emergency contact. Not like that’s stopped the doctors before. Not getting information was killing him as well as everyone else.
9 hours. It had been 9 hours and whoever the fuck Severide’s emergency contact was still hadn’t shown up. Matt had always assumed it was Shay but apparently not. Either way Shay wasn’t fucking here. Shouldn’t she be here for her Best friend?
9 fucking hours and he didn’t even know is Kelly was dead or alive.
He was beyond frustrated. And confused. Hella confused when not even 2 minutes later Shay walked in, with a male.
He looked to be in his mid to late 20’s. He had muscle on him but he looked as though he hadn’t been eating. Something he wouldn’t have noticed if he hadn’t seen the signs plenty of times before. He also had a sling on his left arm.
Matt watched as Shay and the newcomer when up to the reception desk.
The newcomer started speaking nervously, with Shay holding his hand, “I, umm, my names-uh Evan Severide. I’m uh, the emergency contact of K-Kelly Severide.”
Evan Severide? Kelly was married? Or was he a cousin or something. Maybe a half brother? Matt knew Kelly had many
Half-Siblings but as far as he knew Kelly didn’t have any full siblings. And none of his half-siblings took Bennys last name either. So that was confusing.
The doctor looked up at Evan, and nodded, “a doctor will be right out, there’s the waiting room.”
Matt locked eyes with Shay as they walked over to the waiting room, where all of the House was sitting.
There was a silent message in her eyes.
Not Now.
He nodded in acknowledgement.
“Evan Severide?” A doctor called out.
Evan put his hand up.
“Is there anyone else you would like to here this information?”
Evan turned towards Shay, “Is this 51?”
Shay just nodded.
“Anything you tell me can be told to this room.” He paused. “Wait. Where’s Boden?”
At that Boden walked into the room. “Right here.”
“Is that it?” The doctor asked.
Evan nodded.
“Okay. So Lieutenant Severide has minimal damage to his spine. It could’ve gone a lot worse in retrospect. The only problems that occurred during is fall is he worsened a previous injury. According to his existing medical records a few months ago he came in for an x-ray showing he fractured his C5. During his fall the fracture worsened meaning we had to operate immediately. We do not know if he has any paralysis, and we will not find out till he wakes up.
Now for the Hard part. Mr Severide are you sure you want all these people to know.”
“You talking about the scars or the pills?” Evan said with worry.
“Both.” The doctor replied.
“The pills were for the pain. The scars are from a very long time ago.” He said.
The doctor looked uncertain before nodding and walking away.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the room before Herrman spoke up.
“Okay I appreciate you letting us in on what happened to Severide. But who the hell are you?”
That’s the question they all wanted to know.
Evan sighed uncomfortably.
