Love Is Blind-Ch 1
The day started as normally as every other Friday did for Penelope Garcia, she got up, showered and dressed and drove across town to her job as a clerk at the Virginia Courthouse but little did she know that before the day was over she would be fighting for her life. The day flew by for the very tired clerk as she slowly made her way toward her car.
She gets inside and sighs as she puts the key in the ignition, her plans for the night are to go home and take a hot bath and veg out on the couch and watch movies with her best friends JJ and Emily. She looked down at her watch and saw that she still had a few hours before the girls would be at her place so she put the car in drive and pulled out of the parking garage.
Meanwhile across town heading toward Penelope was Derek Morgan a paramedic that is just getting off duty, he smiles as he passes the sign for the turn off for his street. Just as he gets ready to turn into his street he remembers that he is out of milk and bread and turns around and heads back to the street on the corner.
Penelope sighs as she is sitting at the red light, it feels like she has been sitting there forever but in reality it has been a few minutes, she can't help but smile as the light turns green. She puts her foot on the gas and follows the cars in front of her through the intersection, she is getting ready to turn on to her street when her car is hit from the side causing her to spin several times before flipping over on its top.
Derek Morgan is a few cars back, he calls the accident in and gets his first aid kit and runs toward Penelopes car, when he leans down he sees the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He quickly checks for a pulse, he sighs and said, "come on baby girl, don't give up on me now", he then brushes the glass away from her eyes and checks the huge knot on her forehead.
He smells gas alot of gas so he decides to take the chance on moving her, he gently unbuckles her seatbelt and gently pulls her into his arms as he slides out of the car. When he gets her out of the car several people are waiting to help, he can hear sirens in the distance so he works now on trying to get a response from her.
After several attempts her eyes start to flutter open, Derek smiles down at her and says, "easy there baby girl, you're gonna be ok", Penelope raises her hand to her head and says, "owwwwwww my head, wh wh what happened"?, Derek said, "baby girl take it easy, you were in a car accident are you okay"?, she said, "why is it so dark in here".
Derek got the light out of his bag and ran it in front of her eyes and said, "does the light hurt your eyes"?, she said, "light, what light, I don't see any light". Derek said, "can you tell me what happened"?, he listened as she told him the details that led up to where they were right now.
Penelope gently squeezed Dereks hand and said, "I don't feel so good", Derek slid the oxygen mask over her nose and said, "take it easy baby, help is on the way". Penelope felt really nauseated, the last thing she said before she lost consciousness was "I feel sick, really really sick", Derek leaned down and said, "open those beautiful eyes and look at me sweetness", but got no response.
He worked feverishly along with his buddies to get her out of the car and loaded onto the backboard, once she was safely loaded into the ambulance Derek said, "is it alright if I ride to the ER with her"?, Mark smiled and said, "yeah man it's fine, if she wakes up you can talk to her and try to keep her calm", he nodded his head as he got in the back beside her and put her hand in his.
Mark smiled knowing that the beautiful woman before them had managed to steal his friends heart, he closed the door and raced away from the scene of the accident heading toward the hospital. Derek looked down at her and gently caressed her cheek with his free hand and said, "you just have to be alright baby girl, you just have to".
