1. Chapter 1

No matter what, we will always stick together

Alicia- 36, mum of 2 girls aged 12 and 15. Senior doctor in the ED. Spends the time she has at home with her daughters who love her to pieces.

Jessica- 15. Jess is currently in year 10 in school, already started to do gcse level work. She's an athlete, specialising in long jump and competes at county level

Jasmine- 12. Jasmine is currently in year 7 (youngest of the school), she's quite shy and doesn't like talking too much especially to Alicia. She's also an athlete specialising in triple jump and also competes at county level.

It was a Monday which meant back to school for the girls and also a training day.

"Girls, time to get up", Alicia shouts up. She gets no response from either girls

"NOW, OR I WILL DRAG YOU OUT MYSELF!" At this point Alicia was starting to get really annoyed.

At last the girls got out of bed but only had 30 minutes until their bus. Alicia couldn't take them as she had a morning shift that morning.

"Right, have you got everything you need, PE kit, cooking ingredients?" Alicia said

"Yes mum," they both replied in sync with no enthusiasm

"Bye mum," they shouted as they walked out the door.

Alicia had about 10 minutes until she had to leave for work. She'd recently been stressed and not eating as much as usual due to long hours and insufficient money.

"Shit." She realised she had to leave in a couple of minutes. She grabbed her scrubs, stethoscope and ran out the door.

Luckily for her there was no big emergencies, so she could have a minute to herself. Which was then interrupted by Bea

"RTC, involving a bus ETA-5 mins, 23 casualties, 5 major.

"Yeah, coming now" Alicia said even though she knew she didn't want to.

Iain and Ruby burst through the doors with the first patient who needed care straight away.

"Jasmine Munroe, 12 years old involved in a major RTC."

Alicia's heart just sunk

"Quiered fractured tib and fib, laceration to the back of head, KO'd at scene for approx 10 minutes. Broken ribs and absent breath sounds to the left.

SATs of 90%, BP, 120/60 and GCS of 10". Thank you Connie replies.
