Chapter 112

"Patrick, you and Jake, go wait for the paramedics," Drew said as the sirens grew louder. Patrick nodded and left with Jake close behind him

"Mike, go get a bag ready for her. Mike had been sitting at the foot of the bed, rubbing my leg, but jumped up and disappeared into my closet. I could hear strange voices growing closer as Patrick and Jake led the paramedics upstairs. Drew leaned over, kissing my sweaty forehead before meeting the men who had just entered my room, and began speaking to them quietly, I whimpered when the bed shifted, and josh squeezed my hand,

I turned and watched Drew lead two men over to my bed. They set the bags they had been carrying down, and while one of them began pulling things out, the other moved to the head of the bed.

"Hey there, your boyfriend said you weren't feeling well and in pain? My name is Marcus, and that's Carson he said, nodding toward his partner. I just nodded in understanding, not wanting to talk. Marcus continued talking to me calmly, explaining what he was doing as he took my blood pressure and temperature and started an IV. When Marcus lifted my shirt to touch my stomach, I cried out, and Josh leaned closer to me.

"I know it hurts, baby girl, but they are here to help and are going to make you feel better, Josh murmured in my ear before brushing some damp hair off my face and running his thumb across my cheek, wiping my tears away. While Josh kept me distracted, Marcus talked into his radio, and Carson left and returned with a stretcher.

"Ok, Emmy, I'm going to give you some pain meds that should make you more comfortable, and then you're going to get a ride to the hospital," Marcus explained as he injected something into my IV.

"Ok," I whispered, squeezing Josh's hand, not wanting him to leave my side. It only took a few minutes for the pain meds to kick in, and I began to feel drowsy, Marcus and Carson moved me as gently as they could onto the stretcher. Drew appeared next to my head, reminding me he was coming with me and the others would follow and meet us there before gently kissing my forehead.

I fought to stay awake but quickly lost the battle, and the next thing I knew, I was in a bright room with strangers surrounding me

"Drew, where's Drew?" I asked, and then he was at my side, holding onto my hand without the IV.

"I'm right here, sweet girl; I told you I would stay with you." I gave him a small smile and squeezed his hand as the Doctor explained that my appendix was close to rupturing and that I would be going into surgery in just a few minutes. I nodded, willing to do anything to make the pain go away. Drew kissed me quickly, promising they would all be there when I woke up, and I was whisked away.
