You were always the One

*Beep* *beep* "Nina please come down to examination room *Beep* *Beep*
I quickly got off my seat and quickly ran down to the exam room. I showed my pass to the guards and ran to my office to grab my medical bag. Once I grabbed that, I went to the exam room.
"You really couldn't wait till Jim came back from Vacation?" I told Tanner.
"Sorry Nina, I had to put that guy in his place"
"I guess you will never learn" i said while examining his eye.
"Please, you know I'm the fighter"
I rolled my eyes and put on my gloves. I went threw the medical bag and got some alcohol whips.
"Well luckily all you need is some stitches"
"Thank god, but I can't say about the other guy"
"typical glass"
He laughed and stood still while I switched him up.
"Alright you are good to go" I said while placing a bandaid on his stitches.
"What would I do without you" he said while getting up and kissed my cheek.
"Probably cry like a baby" I said while sticking my tongue out at him.
"Shut it" he said while walking out.
I quickly put everything away and then the door flew open.
"Really you couldn't wait either?"
"Sorry the Bitch had it coming?" Derrick Brassard said.
"Who?" I said while grabbing a new pair of gloves.
"Toews"
"Really?!?!? What happened"
"Let's say there was an exchange of words" Nick one of the guards said.
"About what" I said while examining his head and noticing the cut on his head.
"You" he whispered.
I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.
"You're such an idiot"
We stopped talking and I stitched him back up.
"Go back and play. When you're done, we should take you to the hospital and get you examined" I said while cleaning up.
"Thank you"
"No problem, go kick some ass"
"Well do"
"dam you Jim for being sick" I said while walking out.
I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Nina Coronel. I'm twenty six years old and the second hand medical trainer for the New York Rangers. Yup I have the coolest job in the world. I have actually traveled and lived in different states cause of my job. Some teams that I have been with where The Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, The LA kings and now the New York Rangers. I'm know to be the top NHL physician and I truly grateful for that. especially that I'm the only woman in a man's sport.
I'm truly grateful to be back home and working with my favorite team. Even thou I'm not head trainer, I'm totally ok with that. Mainly cause I'm back home with my family. I grew up living out in Long Island and was a Rangers fan since I was little. Everyone thought I was nuts cause I should be an Islander fan. But I was never the follower. As soon as I graduated from NYU Medical school with my doctrine in sports medicine , the Dallas Stars picked me up. The rest was history. I lived most of my twenties in the west coast. When I was the physician for the Blackhawks, I became extremely home sick. Mainly cause Chicago reminded me of New York so much. When the second hand trainer opportunity opened. I quickly took it and flew back home after the season was over.
Now I'm here in Madison Square Garden ever other day cheering my boys and taking care of them.
Every story has a beginning and this is mine.
"Hello?" I said while grabbing my coffee and shutting the car door.
"Good morning beautiful" the husky voice that I haven't heard for a while came threw the line.
"Why hello there Mr.Toews"
"Hello, just wanted to say good luck on your first day at the job"
"Why thank you and good luck on your first day at training camp"
"Please I don't need luck"
"What a coincidence, I don't need luck either"
"Whatever, I miss you"
"I miss you too, Canada"
"Seriously, Nina I really do miss you"
I started to feel my cheeks blush and my fingers quickly ran over to my burn mark on my neck.
"I miss you too Jonathan"
"Come back here to Chicago"
"I told you before that I can't. Listen I have to go, I'm at the rink"
"Ok call me later"
"I will, bye"
"Bye beautiful"
I stopped at the door and quickly took a deep breath. You got this girl, I told myself. The door flew open and it hit my face. My coffee flew out of hands and my bag dropped.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry" I heard someone with accent say. I looked up and all I saw was a short guy with long brown hair.
"Shit" I said while covering my hands.
"Are you ok?"
"Fuck no"
"I didn't see you"
"Clearly"
"Please come in and I will have my doctor look at you"
"It's ok" I said swatting his hands away.
"Please let me help"
"It's ok" I quickly grabbed my bag and walked inside.
Luckily the bathroom was near the door and walked in. I quickly cleaned up the blood and saw a bruise forming on my nose.
"This would happen to me" I said while placing a nose strip.
I walked back out and tried to find the office.
"Can I help you?" Jim asked.
"Yes, I'm Nina Coronel.
"Oh yes our new physician. What happened to your nose?"
"I got hit by a door"
"Oh man, ok well are you ok?"
"Oh yea, I just cleaned my nose and put a nose strip"
"Ok well sit down and I will explain to you what goes around here"
After half and hour Jim explained to me what my role was. Which was basically the second hand doctor. I would be there every game and practice just incase they need assistance. I would also be traveling with the team at away games.
"Alright let's go to the bench and meet the team shall me"
I quickly nodded and followed him to the rink. Coach Alain Vigneault was talking to them about the year to come. Jim took a seat and I sat next to them. The boys were all whispering and I just rolled my eyes. Bunch of girls I said to myself.
"Alright guys we have a new member to our medical staff" Vigneault said while looking at me.
"Nina Coronel will be our new medical trainer and she well be with us for the season"
"Oh she can treat me anytime" one of the boys said and the rest of the team laughed.
"Kreider you just won yourself three suicides"
I laughed a bit and the team was off to cool down. Well everyone except Kreider of course. I got up from bench and was walking to my office. Until I heard someone say my name.
"Nina?"
I quickly turned around and was faced with the same guy who accidentally hit me with door.
"Yes?"
"I just wanted to introduce myself and apologize for earlier"
"Oh hey it's ok don't worry I wasn't paying attention. I'm also sorry for my attitude"
"No I'm truly sorry, my name is Mats Zuccuarello" he said while taking off his glove.
"Nina" I said while shaking his hand.
"See you around"
"See ya" I said with a smile and returning back to my office.
