First Step

Seeing a few tears and the look in Gunner's eyes Hope new a few things that might happen next and she was ready for it. Sometimes it was hard going through this differnt stuff, the road was never easy but what was important was having someone there who could keep you afloat.

As the table and papers go everywhere Hope doesn't flinch. She wasn't scared of Gunner and she new he wouldn't hurt her. She'd been through this before with many others, and she would go through it again and again, this was more that just a job, this was helping those who needed it.

Seeing Gunner fall to the ground and slam his fists into the tiles on the floor Hope is quickly to Gunner's side waving away some of the other nurses that had apeared.

"I can handle this. Go back about your business."

Wrapping her arm over Gunner's shoulder Hope just gently rubs his arm. Trying to bring what little comfort she could.

"Its ok Gunner, Its going to be ok I promise. There is nothing to be ashamed of ok?"

With her other hand Hope gentily takes Gunner's in her own holding them so no more harm could come to them meeting the cold hard floor. Her heart acked for him, but at the same time she was happy he was letting his emotions out.

The emotions and feeling he was feeling were coming out, and it was what was needed. In order to get better Gunner had to let go first, and this was the first step.
