Never give up
It was just another beautiful day or she thought. Walking along the side of the road, she hadn't noticed a man following her. She was caught up in the beauty of the woods that by the time she noticed, it was too late. He had tackled her to the ground and started beating her. She scratched and bit him, but he was too strong. He reeked of alcohol and ripped open her blouse. If not for the beam from the headlight of the car he might have raped her. The guy took off and the next thing she knew a man was talking to her. There were no words that came out of her. Everything went black.
Wade/Lavon:
They were driving back from mobile when they noticed something on the road. At first they disregarded as a dead animal, but as they got closer, they realized it was person, a woman to be exact. Lavon immediately jumped out of the car and checked for signs of life. She was breathing. He noticed that her blouse was torn and she was bloodied up a bit. She needed help and fast.
"Wade, we need to get her to Brick. It's not looking good."
"Put her on in. It's not looking good."
"Who in the world would want to hurt her?"
"I don't know. Hopefully when she wakes up she can tell us the reason why she was out in this neck of the woods."
"Wade, normally I don't condone you driving fast but in this case I'll make an exception."
Lavon turns around to look at the young woman and whispers to her "hang in there. We are going to get you help."
…
Brick/Lemon:
"Daddy, you are going to be at George and I's pre-nuptial dinner right?"
"Lemon, you know that I have to work. I'm still waiting on the new doctor to come to town. She said she would be arriving today."
"Come one daddy. There is nothing that important going on in BlueBell that needs your immediate attention. It's not like someone is going to be walking through those doors with a serious injury."
"Lemonade…I take my job seriously. I will try and make it, but there is no guarantee."
"Daddy…I need you there. George's family will be there and you know how his mom feels about me. I need backup."
"Sweetheart, you are going to have to learn to deal with George's family. They are going to be your in-laws soon. Now go and get ready. I know how long it takes for you to get ready."
"Fine daddy. I'll be expecting you tonight. It's at Fancies at 7 p.m."
"Lemon…"
"I won't take no for an answer."
Lemon leaves her daddy's practice and continues down the street. That's when she notices Wade's car peeling in fast. She was about to give him a piece of her mind when she noticed Lavon was with her. This was going to be interesting. Lavon never tolerates this type of behavior.
…
Wade/Lavon/Lemon/Brick:
Wade notices Lemon coming out of her dad's office. This was a good thing in his mind. That meant her dad was still there. The bad part, Lemon would want to know what was going on. He couldn't explain something that he and Lavon didn't know. Knowing Lemon as he does, she would be relentless with questions despite him telling them they had no clue who this woman was and how she got injured.
"Lavon, watch out. Trouble is headed our way."
"I don't have time for this Wade. Deal with this."
"Wade and Lavon, what's going on here? I'm surprised the mayor here let you drive like a speed demon here."
"Lemon is your father in?"
"Yes he is. In fact he'll be leaving as soon as the new doctor arrives."
"Doctor?"
"Yes. Daddy said it was a female doctor."
"Did he mention her name by any chance?"
"I didn't ask. Why?"
Just then Lavon interrupted their talk. He cradled the young woman in his arms and walked up to the steps. Wade opened up the door for him. Brick was coming out of the backroom when he noticed the young woman.
"Lavon, put here down here. What happened?"
"I have no idea. Wade and I were driving back from Mobile when we found her on the side of the road."
Lemon then walks in and notices the young woman injured. "Who is that and what happened to her?"
"We have no idea Lemon. We found her like this."
"Where?"
Wade replied "On the side of the road."
"That was stupid of her. Who walks on the side of the road in high heels and a pair of shorts?"
Brick then turns to Lemon "Out. I have a job to do."
"Daddy"
"Lemonade…out now. I need to fix this young woman now and your attitude stinks."
Lemon leaves but not before looking back at the young woman lying on the table. Great she thought, now daddy won't be at Fancies tonight.
"Brick, is there anything we can do? Lavon asked"
"By any chance did you find anything along her?"
"We didn't look. I just picked her up and put her in Wade's car and rushed over here."
"Okay. I have a feeling I know who this young woman is."
Wade then chimes in "You do? Who is she?"
"She is the doctor that I've been waiting on. Her name is Dr. Zoe Hart and she's from New York."
