The sounds of shrines echoed loudly throughout the Emergency Room, onlookers in the waiting room wondered what horror had occurred, some whispered softly to their loved ones beside them whilst others looked on for any signs of paramedics running through the ER, in a small town like Rosewood an ER is where the lonely housewife could find real time entertainment. For Dr. Alison DiLaurentis an ER was much more than just a way to have the first scoop of gossip to tell your friends at the country club, to Alison the ER was home. From the age of eight, Alison had practically lived in the ER with her mother, Rosewood Memorial's most loved ER doctor, Dr. Jessica DiLaurentis. Jessica taught Alison everything you need to know about running an ER so it was only fitting that Alison goes on to follow in her now retired mother's footprints at Rosewood Memorial after completing her residency. Alison admittedly wasn't liked by most of her team, many were intimidated by her knowledge that they themselves wished to possess, others saw her as a stuck up rich girl who only got the job because of her mother. But none of that bothered Alison, she wasn't there to make friends, in her mind she had one job and one job only: Dr. Alison DiLaurentis was there to save lives, and that is something she did extremely well.
As the deafening sounds of shrines drew closer Dr. DiLaurentis was armed and ready with her team placed firmly behind her and her main completion and long-time rival Dr. Mona Vanderwaal and team beside her. They had both been paged down due to reports of two GSW victims on their way fast.
"You ready for this DiLaurentis?" Dr. Vanderwaal shouted over the sound of shrines, receiving an annoyed eye roll and sign from Alison.
"More ready than you will ever be Vanderwaal!" Alison shouted back before b-lining over to the now parked ambulance. "What we got?" Alison asked bluntly while moving her gloved hands to replace the paramedic's ones on the right leg of her female patient.
"Twenty-One-year-old female, with two GSW's, one to the upper right thigh and one to upper right shoulder. She was unconscious on the scene, we gave her 20mg of Morphine. Her BP is seventy over fifty-five and falling." The paramedic informed Dr. DiLaurentis while putting pressure on the shoulder wound and wheeling the gurney to 'Trauma Bay 1'
"Thank you, my team can take it from here." Dr. DiLaurentis quickly dismissed the paramedic to make room for her team if they were going to have a chance in hell of stopping her bleeding out before they made it to the OR. "Jenkins, get on the shoulder wound and keep pressure, can I get the thickest gauze you can get your hands on so that we can back these wounds for transport!" Alison demanded while removing her blood soaked hand slightly to inspect her leg wound in more detail.
"Where am I?" Alison heard the woman ask quietly, still sounding semi-unconscious.
"Ma'am you are in Rosewood Memorial, don't worry we are going to take really good care of you," Alison explained slowly when suddenly panic arose in the woman's eyes and she shot up like a gun, almost taking Jenkins with her.
"Cavanaugh!? Where is Toby Cavanaugh?!" She shouted with all her might.
"Ma'am, you need to calm down or you are going to cause more serious damage. Just relax and let me make you better, then we will find this Toby guy you are looking for okay?" Alison asked while swapping places with Jenkins, to examine the shoulder wound.
"Fuck! Any harder blondie?" The woman screamed out in pain as Alison removed what was left her a T-shirt out of the way.
"Can you tell me what your name is?" Alison asked, ignoring the woman's previous comments.
"Emily. Emily Fields." Emily said bluntly while trying to hold in the obvious pain she was currently suffering through.
"Okay Ms. Fields, I'm Doctor DiLaurentis. I need you to relax for me okay." Alison said sharply while putting more pressure on her shoulder wound.
"I swear to fucking God! Any harder and I'll shoot you in the shoulder lady!" Emily shouted loudly forcing other doctors, nurses, and patients to look her way.
"Ms. Fields you need to calm down before you cause your body any more damage!" Alison snapped back, not caring who was staring at her at the minute. All she cared about was getting Emily's bleeding under control so she could move her to the OR.
"Em? Emily! Oh, my god, Spencer called and told me what happened is she okay?" A hysterical blonde quickly ran over to 'Trauma Bay 1'.
"Miss, I'm going to need you to wait in the waiting room for me so that we can do our job okay?" Alison tried to explain to the girl, who seemed to not care about anything she was saying.
"Look, lady, I don't care who the hell you are that is my best friend lying there! I'm not going anywhere!" The blonde shouted, Alison was about to tell one of her interns to call security when the machines attached to Emily started screaming.
"We're losing her! Get her out of here!" Alison shouted while Dr. Smith moved the blonde woman to the side in order to pull the privacy curtain.
"Shock her again!" Was all the blonde heard before security came to escort her to the waiting room.
Spencer quickly paced the waiting room, hoping and praying that the doctors would appear and give her good news about her best friend. She had almost passed out herself when she heard the news of the shooting. She knew that they were closing on the new drug dealer that had been targeting high school students at parties, but she didn't know that this guy was dangerous or that they were going into arrest him today. Luckily Toby wasn't shot, he only managed to sustain a broken arm because Emily pushed him out of harm's way.
"Spence please sit down, you're making me more nervous than I already am!" Hanna shouted at her brunette friend.
"Yeah Spence, why don't we go and get some coffee? I know how caffeine calms you." Their small friend Aria chipped in while placing the magazine she was trying to distract herself with down.
"I don't want coffee and I don't want to calm down! I just want her to be okay!" Spencer spoke loudly before breaking down in tears. Quickly Hanna and Aria jumped to comfort her as she sobbed uncontrollably.
"Emily Fields?" Hanna immediately recognized the voice of the woman who had her escorted out of the ER a few hours ago.
"Is she okay?" Hanna quickly pulled away from the group hug to face the sour faced doctor who was taking care of Emily.
"She's stable and out of surgery. Is there any family here for her?" She asked in a monotone voice.
"I am her family!" Hanna snapped at the woman who didn't seem to react.
"Han chill...her parents are on their way from Texas. We are the closest thing that she has to family in Rosewood." Aria spoke softly while walking over with Spencer to their friend and the blonde doctor.
"Okay...well Ms. Fields suffered two GSW's to the right shoulder and right upper thigh. I repaired the tissue damage to both sights and set her shoulder back in place." Doctor DiLaurentis paused for a second to let them react to the news.
"What's next for her then?" Spencer asked with more tears forming in her eyes out of both relief and worry for her friend.
"She will have to partake in numerous weeks of physical therapy to try and build the muscles back up again, but we won't know more until has woken up," Alison said mindlessly. "Of course there could be other complications from the gunshot wounds that could prolong her physical therapy or in some cases take it off the table completely."
"So there's a possibility that she won't have function in the leg or arm where she got shot?" Hanna asked with tears forming her eyes.
"That is possible yes, but like I said…" Hanna quite rudely interrupted.
"You won't know until she wakes up! How about instead of standing here telling us what you don't know, you do your job and fix my best friend!" Hanna shouted loudly at Alison who still didn't show any reaction.
"Hanna chill! I'm sure she's doing everything she can at the moment! At least we know that Em is alive…" Spencer scolded Hanna, making her walk back to the chairs in a huff. "I'm sorry about her, she get's really snappy when she's worried." Spencer tried to apologize.
"It's not a problem, trust me I've seen and heard worse. I will have a member of my team keep you guys updated and you should be able to see her once she has woken up." With that Alison began to walk away, only to hear Hanna say "Stupid inconsiderate blonde doctor bitch" before being fully out of earshot.
Good? Bad? Let me know if you want more!
