Hey x sorry I haven't been able to write any stories recently... I've been pretty busy with school (and holidays) anyway... Excuse the rubbishness of this story, I know it's not very good. Please R&R, I'm not a very confident writer and I love reading nice reviews!

I woke from my dreamless sleep in a state of relaxation and calm, gazing at the gorgeous man lying next to me. I reached out to stroke his face when he stirred a little, his eyes opened to meet mine and a tired smile made its way on to his features.

"Morning lazy... About time"

Tom groaned and turned on to his back, stretching.

"I bet you've only just woken up! What time is it?"

I glanced over at the small alarm clock. I'd forgotten to set the alarm.

"Oh my god. Tom it's quarter to nine. Shift started 15 minutes ago. Get up you lazy muppet!"

I laughed and shoved him out the bed in a frantic attempt to get him up. My clothes from yesterday were scattered on the floor with Tom's, so I quickly slipped those on, not bothering to shower.

"We can take the car. We don't have time to cycle."

I grabbed two apples for us and ran outside to Tom's silver BMW. He sped off quickly once I was seated.

"Damn... That must have been the record for getting ready... 2 minutes! You think I should let Zoe know we're going to be late?"

"No it's fine. Zoe will find out anyway, there's no point taking her anger down the phone."

I flicked the switch for the radio as we weaved through the traffic.

"Local Traffic problems on HolbyFM. Major road traffic incident on Sedwick road. Causing horrific traffic, receiving hospital is Holby City ED for any relatives involved. Number of casualties unknown. We'll update you if we hear anymore."

I flashed a horrified glance at Tom. Boy were we in for it now. Zoe would kill us, late for the shift especially with this going on! Tom raced towards the ED as fast as he could go.

"TOM, SAM! Finally! We need your help desperately! Have you heard about the RTC? I was hoping you two would be willing to go?"

"Sorry Zoe. Yeah I'm up for it... Tom?" I asked Tom looking up at him, casually curling my hands in my pockets and waiting for an answer.

"Umm yeah ok."

"Thanks guys. Get into the paramedic gear in the staff room. The heli is over there waiting for when you're ready. Be as quick as you can please!"

I nodded at Zoe and went to get changed with Tom, running. He looked quite pale and was covered in a light sheen of sweat.

"Are you ok Tom?..."

"Yeah... Just don't like heights that's all. I'll be fine once we're up there."

We got into the whirring helicopter which was waiting in the car park.

"Are you both ready in the back?"

The driver and his co pilot asked us as I flung my pack into the heli.

"Yeah! Lets go!"

Gradually we rose from the ground and dived forward in the direction of the motorway. The driver was obviously a skilled one and had been trained specially for emergency incidents.

We soared over the city, the people becoming little black dots below us. I was excited, loving the adrenaline rush, but I could hear Tom groaning through the headphones. I glanced at him. He was a pale shade of green and looked like he was going to faint. His eyes were trained at the roof determined not to look down and he was shaking slightly. I took his quivering hands into mine and made him look me in the eye.

"Tom! You're going to be absolutely fine. The pilot knows what he's doing, and I can see the RTC now, we're nearly there. Tom look at me. We're going to be fine."

He opened his eyes slowly to find me smiling at him. He smiled back and squeezed his eyes shut again as we approached the accident.

Suddenly, there was a stutter and a gurgle from behind me... and everything on the ground seemed to be getting bigger. The engine had cut out. I clutched Tom's hand and squeezed my eyes shut as the helicopter threw us around and twisted through the air, falling down and down...
