My fingers fly across the keyboard, making their own clacking sounds, while I write my report. Elsa looks up at me when I frustratedly push the keyboard away. I hate paperwork so freaking much.
"So... you really think moving in with Booth is a good idea?"-Elsa wonders, drawing my attention to her.
"August seems nice, and I need a place to crash at, at least until I find something I can pay in this God damn district."-I explained. I took a big breath and continued filling out my report in silence. Is it really a good idea? I barely know the guy.-"I can't see anyone else offering me a place to stay at anyway."-I added after a few minutes of thinking, trying to convince myself it's for the best.
I've been working side by side with Elsa for a year now and we both got moved from our hospital ambulance station to Fire Department 49, Ambulance 03 a month ago. Since my old place is an hour from here, I had to find a new one. August Booth is a firefighter, leading Rescue Squad for years. He seems to be a cool guy, who needs a roommate apparently, so I'm staying with him for at least a few months, until I can afford my own place.
"You will regret it."-Ruby appears from nowhere, hopping on my desk in her dirty, uniform which smells like smoke and dust.
"Okay Lucas."-I laugh nervously.-"First, get off my desk Lady!"-I command, and push the brunette off of my desk with one hand.-"Second. What do you know what I don't?"-I ask, and she flashes an evil smile, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Handsome, beautiful blue eyes, cute little dimples, good looking, masculine. Single."-she describes him quickly, and seeing the confusion on my face, she adds.-"He's a lady's man."
"So what?"-I lay back in my chair, and smile at her widely, waiting for the answer.
"You won't sleep a lot Swan. He is taking a different girl out each and every night."-she says, and Elsa and I both chuckle.
"Um...thanks for the help Lucas, I think I'll be fine."-I shrugged and turned back to my desk.
The alarm goes of in the minute I start to type again. Typical. I listen for the speaker for a few second until I hear our call.
"Car accident, N State street Bridge, Ambulance 03, Engine 63, truck 07."-we hear the rough voice in the speaker, and Elsa and I both run towards the garage.
"Have fun blondies."-Ruby yells after us and we both shake our heads. Being a paramedic is no fun.
"How can someone so pretty be so annoying at the same time?"-I ask, doing my seatbelt, when we both got into the car.
"Someone has a crush on Lucas?"-Elsa chuckled but I don't think she meant that question.
"I just said she's annoying. Do you even hear what I say Els?"-I ask, looking at my friend in disbelief.
"Drive Swan."-she commands.-"And she's your type."-she adds.
"She's way out of my type."-I respond, and step on the gas before the rescue squad could leave.
"Come one! Big deer eyes, long dark hair, absolutely amazing body..."-she says in a seductive tone.
"She is pushy, clingy, and I could get her in a minute. She's basically offering herself anytime she talks to me."-I state, concentrating on the road, while Elsa turned on the sirens. Hearing our own siren always makes my heard beat faster. As I said, our job is no fun.
"So your real problem with her is, that she likes you?"-she questioned.
Thankfully the radio interrupts our conversation, so I don't have to answer her question.
"Ambulance 03 where are you?"-we hear Liam's voice.
"Chill Liam, three minutes and we are there. Emma couldn't push the gas pedal deeper in this old rig."-Elsa replies. I smile at her, and I step on it.
"Never underestimate my car."-I reply, petting the wheel gently.
We get to the place of the accident in a few minutes, I park the car and we rush out to the red car with our medical begs, while Booth and his squad get out of the truck too.
I try to open the driver's door but it's stuck.
"My daughter. Magen."-the red haired woman says, on the edge of crying from pain and fear.-"Is she okay?"-she asks, trying to look at her daughter but she can't really move her head.
"I'll check on her ma'am."-I reply, and rush to the other side of the car immediately.
"We will need one more ambulance."-I say holding he radio to my lips, then trying to open the back door as well but of course it's stuck.
"Honey. Magen. Are you hurt?"-I ask and she nods her head.
"Can you tell me where are you hurt sweetheart?"-I ask while the squad force the drivers's door open.
Her tiny shaky hand point at her stomach.
"Is it your chest or your stomach Magen?"-I ask, and August helps the mother out of the car, then Elsa climbs onto the driver's seat and turnes to Magen too.
"My chest."-she whispers as loud as she can.
"Magen, could you turn your head towards me please?"-I ask and she slowly turns her head. There's blood dripping from her hair from the left side of her head.
„Woah. Look at the jugular."-Elsa says, pointing at her neck.
„Beck's triad."-we say in union.
Graham, the captain opens her door, and I take her tiny body into my arms, and carry her right into the ambulance car.
A minute later we are rushing to the closest hospital.
"Time!"-I hear Elsa from the back of the car.
"Less that two minutes."-I report, and step on the gas pedal.
"Fuck it."-she yell, as I hear the monitors beeping sound fasten up.
"What's going on there Arendelle?"-I yell.
"Step on it Swan."-she yells back, and I do my best to get to the hospital in a minute.
I park the car at emergency, and help Elsa get her out of the car.
"What do we have?"-Dr. Regina Mills asks, rushing to our side concentrating to the action but as soon as she sees me, she has this look on her face which gets me anxious every time I see her.
"It's Beck's triad."-Elsa says, and lets the nurses to take her in.
"And you brought her in like this? Removing some liquid gives you a hard time or what? Man up and do something next time, you are paramedics, not taxi drivers."-she says, directly looking at me.
"Stop yelling at my partner, go in and do something then."-Elsa protests, stepping in front of me.
Regina angrily turns around and runs into the building. Elsa looks at me disgusted by the woman's attitude and I shrug to let her know I have no idea what her problem is.
Usually we just get the papers and leave but this time Elsa and I both felt like we have to wait the news about the little girl so we stayed at the hospital.
We talk to the nurses, and after a bit of time passed I can sense a cold glare on my back so I turn around immediately. Regina Mills walks towards us, locking eyes with me. I take my time and look over her body. She always looks and smells amazing, I have no idea how does she has time for herself after her 12 hour shift at emergency.
"What a surprise. Swan and Arendelle. What are you two still doing here?"-Regina asks in an annoyed tone, placing some papers on the nurse's desk.-"Aren't you supposed to head back to Fire Department right away you finished here?"-she keeps going.
"Shift's over. We waited for the news about Magen."-I say coldly.
"Who's Magen dear?"-Regina sasses, and flashes one of her sparkling smiles.
"Little girl, car crush, Beck's triad?"-I try to remind her sarcastically.
"Oh! Magen who you almost let die in that stupid rig of yours. You seriously think I'd let a little girl die under my supervision?"-she asks. Gosh I hate this woman. Why does she always have to be so humiliating?
"There are times when you can't do shit to save someone Dr Mills."-I say calmly this time.
"Well you may not, Miss Swan, but.."-she continues with her annoying superiority.
"Look, cut the crap and tell us she's fine so we can leave."-I hiss angrily, and Elsa crosses her arms too impatiently and not wanting to take place in Regina's stupid circles.
"She's excellent. Good vitals, her mother is with her, she will be home in a few days."-she states, glaring at me like I just killed her favorite pet when I shut her off.
"Awesome. Wasn't that hard, was it?"-I asked sarcastically, and turned my beck on her looking at the nurses.-"Bye ladies, see you next time."-I say, and I could feel Regina's angry glare on my back again. She truly hates to be disrespected but I could strangle her for being so uptight and bitchy towards us. She hated me from the very beginning I started working at this hospital. She probably has a problem with gay people because she clearly dislikes me for some god damn reason, but I've never seem to find a realistic one, so I gave up trying and went into her stupid games. It became entertaining to annoy her, so I kept playing her way, kept getting better.
"Bye Emma."-the nurses say in union and I chuckle, smiling at Elsa.
Elsa gives a weak smile to Regina.
"It's always a pleasure to work with you."-she says to the brunette, who just rolls her eyes at us.
"Bye Dr Mills."-I yell after her, when she walks away without saying a word. There's just the sound left of her shoes clacking on the stone of the corridor.
"Regina is a special kind..."-I breath out slowly, as we both get into the ambulance car.
"That's for sure. But she's the best surgeon at emergency ward."-Elsa adds.
"Whatever."-I sigh, and start the car.
I have a long night packing into August's place so I have to save energy for more important things than talking about how great Dr Regina Mills slash icequeen is.
Booth drove me to my old apartment and helped me pack into my new room. Our apartment is top floor, full of windows, which just increases the heat of early summer but I don't mind. As long as I don't have to sleep at the Fire House it's fine.
I put the boxes into my room and jump on my bed. August is watching me from the door and smiles.
"I'm tired."-I admit, and he nods understandingly.
"See you in the morning Swan. I'm glad you're here."-he says, and closes the door behind him.
I know that this place is not my dream apartment, but I find it comfortable for now so I'll stick here as long as it's needed.
I opened one of my huge windows, and sat on my bed for a while, listening to the noises of the city. Sirens, cars, people, wind... Most people hate these things. I love it. It comforts me in a way nothing can. Knowing that there are people out there, always made me feel less lonely.
I'm not sure how long will I stay here. I'm unable to stick somewhere for a long time. It's just coded into me. I hate collecting useless stuff and I hate staying in a relationship for too long. That's me. Emma Swan.
