Summary: Nothing prepared them for today; they had a visitor, a pharmacist. A crossbow, three staff caught in the crossfire, but who will survive? You decide.
Chapter 4
The team had gotten me safely to Resus and started hooking me up to all the machines around me. The beeping from the heart monitor was the only thing reassuring me that I was still alive. I hated feeling so weak and vulnerable rather than the hard and rather rude Lily Chao.
"Lily is there anyone you want me to call for you?" spoke Louise.
"Erm..." I thought hard for a few seconds before replying, "Mum and my sister Daisy."
"Right, I'll get onto that straight away." Louise spoke while scribbling down her request and exiting Resus rather hastily.
The team were soon interrupted by the fast scanner entering, some of the team moved out of the way so that the fast scanner team could set up. The whole of the ED staff were stood by the door waiting for it to finish however, they could hear lily's soft whimpers. Ethan looked at Connie before walking towards her.
"I can't leave her, she's my friend, I mean girlfriend." Ethan told her.
Ethan gripped hold of Lily's hand while she mimed a 'thank you' to Ethan. The Lady who was in charge of the scan then made sure they put a jacket over Ethan to protect him from radiation.
After the scan was complete it took ten minutes for the results to come through. Zoe, who had come down to finish her shift as Max was in recovery approached me with the Ipad and showed me the scan, Zoe had been a friend since the incident with my Dad.
"Right, as you can see from the scan, the arrow has hit your spinal cord but until it has been removed, which we can do in five minutes we will put a collar on you and send you for a CT scan on your back to get a picture on the true damage." Zoe explained.
Louise popped her head around the door, "Lily, Daisy has just got here, do you want me to send her in?"
"Yes please Louise." I replied.
And with that my older sister Daisy was allowed in to see me. She rushed to my side and started talking.
"I thought you were dead, when the receptionist on the phone said you had been shot, well I didn't know what to expect." Daisy spoke.
"Ha ha, you know me I'm always strong." I replied
"And stubborn, Mum said she can't come, but I think Dad has something to do with that. Has he still not forgiven you?" she asked me.
The team all looked at me, some with shock and others wanting to know.
"Right, I'll tell you guys so that you all know. It started one year ago when Daisy walked in on Dad attacking me." I started.
"It wasn't pretty, he had pinned her to the bed and she had red eyes, like she'd been crying." Daisy continued so I could catch my breath and then I spoke again;
"A day later, Daisy told me to go to the police after she had realised I...I...I was r-r-aped by my own father, He did get arrested and was sent down for nine months. And I forgave him." I finished quickly to avoid awkward questions.
Hope you enjoyed this slightly longer chapters, please review and will update tomorrow after I get back from the dentist :( (I hate the dentist, do you guys?)
