Jonny walked back in the direction of the girl, thoughts ran around in his head wondering if he's made the right decision, as well as guilt kicking him in the ribs about leaving a man who needs his help behind. He knew somewhere inside him that he'd made the right decision. He arrived back to where the check-out and till used to be and crouched back down to where Lucy lay. He knelt down and carefully took her arm, he could see the blood had already started to come through his tie and new that if he didn't get proper equipment soon she had the risk of all the blood in her arm running out.
"Lucy, how you feeling sweetheart?" Jonny said softly trying to keep her as calm as possible.
"I've been better thanks..." She smiled slightly and then started to cough quite violently.
"Okay Lucy take deep breathes for me, try to stop the coughing yeah?"
She nodded slightly, still trying to keep her neck as still as possible like he said and took deep breathes, beginning to stop coughing. "Thanks..." She added, now breathing deeply in and out."That's good, keep that up and you should be fine..."
He nodded slightly and started to feel a bit worried about her arm. He took of his brown leather jacket and put it down next to him before taking his cardigan and wrapping it around the arm on top of the tie, tying it tight as possible. He began to hear the faint noise of an ambulance in the distance. He stood up and looked around as the noise began to become much louder.
"I'll be back soon Lucy, everything's going to be okay, I promise." He said as he walked to the part of the shop where he could hear the sirens the most.
Jonny heard many voices circling around outside, rushing and worrying trying to find a way to get in, hoping people are okay and waiting for the fire service to arrive to get in. Jonny ran up against the wall and started to tap against it. "Hello? Can anyone hear me? Hello, hello?" He shouted as he tried to make a gap in the wall.
"Jonny! It's Dixie, are you okay mate?" Dixie, the paramedic Jonny new very well from work said as she went up against the outside of the wall of the shop.
"Dixie! Thank god! I'm fine, don't worry but there's two other people in here with bad injuries. We're trapped, there's no visible exist or way to get out. It's really dark in here!"
"Right okay, we're going to get you out soon, don't worry! The fire service will be here soon and they will get you out asap. What's the damage like in there?"
Jonny hadn't taken his surrounding's into account much before now. He looked around the room from where he was standing, seeing the full extent to the damage which was coursed by this car crash. It was un-believable. Around the room was just a disaster, the fridges which did have edible food products in were now toppled over and squished un able to eat at all costs, rubble from the partly collapsed ceiling coated the broken electric appliances with a layer of dust making it harder to breathe.
"Not good, it's gonna take allot of work to get this place up and running again..." Jonny replied after his long pause.
"What about the roof, from out here it doesn't look very stable..." Said Dixie with a slight sense of worry in her voice.
He looked up at the ceiling, he hadn't looked at it before, there was always too much going on on the floor to take any notice on what was above. Dixie was right, it didn't look stable at all, staring at it it looks like it could fall any second it liked. It was tilted slightly, the lower part of the tilt was towards where the other part of the roof had already collapsed and crumbled.
Jonny swallowed and turned back close to the wall. "It doesn't look good either; it could collapse any minute I think. I have my patients in two different parts of the shops but where they are I'm pretty sure the ceiling has already collapsed so there safe as they can be at this moment in time."
"Okay, thanks... What's the status of the patients? It's so we have an idea on what to bring into the site..." Said Dixie trying to get all the facts.
"We have a male and female patient both early mid twenties. The lady was working at the shop and has a bad arterial bleed in her left arm, I've tied my tie and jacket around it, putting pressure on the wound trying t stem it, she's straight and her neck is in a stable position and the last time I checked she was conscious even though she was knocked unconscious. The male patient was the driver of the car, he hurt both his legs and I think was knocked unconscious from the impact of the wall and crash. I did stabilise his neck and in the car but when I went looking for other people in the shop he decided to pull himself out of the car and made matters worse. When I got back to him I laid him straight but he is in a great deal of pain, both of them are." Replied Jonny taking a big breathe at the end of his speech.
"Right thanks Jonny, do you know their names?"
"Yeah, the lady is called um Lucy Ward and the man is called Dan, didn't catch his last name. She is towards the back right of the shop and Dan is near the car." Said Jonny reciting the information in his mind.
"Yeah, I've got that." Out of the sounds of rushing people outside a sound of a fire engine came to their ears. "I think the calvarias arrived!" Dixie said as she smirked slightly in relief so as Jonny. "You'll be out of their soon Jonny don't worry." She said calmly sounding like she was telling the truth.
"Thank god." Jonny replied grateful for their arrival.
Dixie walked off talking to the fire engine telling them about how many people were inside the building as Jonny slumped himself up against a fallen over shelve and rubbed his eyes before breathing out heavily. H couldn't believe hat had just happened to him, the past 2 hours might have been the worst moments of his life. He was a nurse so he came up to life and death situations nearly every day but now he was up close an personal with the action was in 1 word quite overwhelming. Anything could happen at this moment in time, he had two people and himself trapped in a unsafe building. He wasn't aware of his situation at this point in time, he was just thinking about what would happen if he didn't make it, how would people react? What would people do? Would life be the same and would they forget? His head was so tangled up that he was ignoring his surroundings and the sounds which was going on.
Dixie was shouting but he wasn't paying attention. He heard a big bang and looked up, he finally heard Dixie shouting 'Jonny move, the roof is going to fall!' but it was too late. A few seconds after looking up at the ceiling it collapsed, leaving Jonny unconscious under the rubble and dirt.
