Third person POV
A Ford F-150 crashed into Maura's Prius. It was going 45 miles per hour through the intersection. The driver decided to ignore the red light completely and go ahead through the red light. Maura had a green light and was driving just fine. Even with her thoughts flooding through her brain she still managed to drive good. It was bad timing and it was the driver running a red light.
The driver came storming out of his car. He was shaken up and terrified of what he had just done. His body was trembling and his face looked worried and full of fear. He was only twenty one years old. Luckily he wasn't injured at all. He just worried about what he inflicted upon the other driver. He ran over to the drivers side of the vehicle he just crashed into and looked through the part of the car where a window should be.
"Hello?"
There was no reply.
"Please wake up. Please wake up. Please don't die. I'm so sorry."
She was still unresponsive.
He pulled out his phone and dialed 911.
"911, where's your emergency?"
He looked around frantically for a sign. He wasn't very familiar with this part of town. Besides, everything in that moment was a big blur for him. When he did find a sign he couldn't concentrate on it enough to focus on what it said.
"I don't know. Can't you just trace the number?"
"It will take longer to trace, but I'm tracing the call now. What's your emergency, sir?"
"I just got into a car accident and the driver I crashed into isn't responding. I think she may be dead."
"How many are injured in total?"
"One person."
"How many vehicles are involved?"
"T-two."
"Can you give me a description of the two cars?"
"One is a orange Prius. Mine is a white Ford F-150."
"Okay. Are there any harmful hazards? Such as gasoline leaks, chemical spills or any wires down?"
The man got on the ground, his body to the cement at the trunk of the car and looked under the car intensely.
"No, I don't see anything."
"Okay. That's good. You're doing great. Just keep calm and an ambulance is on its way."
"Calm? I'm not calm. Yo-you want me to be calm? I may ha-have just fucking killed someone. I'm not go-going to calm."
"Sir, I understand that, but getting upset will make things worse."
"Fine."
He took a deep breath and attempted to go into a calm state. He looked down at the shattered glass scattered on the cement. Maura's window was no longer there since the car accident. The air bag was now deflated and resting on the unconscious Maura's lap. Blood rushed out of Maura's left hand reposed on her sear. There was a big gash on the side of her face. She must've hit the glass hard enough to knock herself unconscious. Blood fell down her face dripping onto the seat.
"Oh my god. What have I done?"
People started getting out of their cars, making a crowd. The accident is in the middle of the road so it interrupt's traffic.
He started to hear the faint sound of an ambulance coming his way.
"They're here. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Hope everything goes well."
"Thanks."
He ended the call with a simple "click."
The ambulance had now arrived. There are 2 police cars and fire truck along with it. People in their uniforms came running out of each vehicle.
From the Police cars two police officers had the crowd back up, one went to go question witnesses. Then an officer came over to the driver.
"Sh-she's in there," the driver pointed to Maura's damaged car. "Sh-she's not responsive and she's bl-bleeding. She's bleeding a lot. Like a lot a lot. "
"Okay. Don't worry, everything will be okay. Are you injured?"
"N-no. I'm fine."
The police officer looked over to the EMT and pointed over to the car. The EMT ran over to the car with a paramedic and two firefighters accompanying her.
"I need to take your statement, sir. Can you come over to the side?"
"Yes, yes of course."
"Alright, we need to get her out of here! She's losing too much blood!"
One paramedic held her head while the EMT pulled her out of the car seat, then placing her on the backboard.
"Grab her purse! We'll need her ID."
The paramedic grabbed her purse and put it next to her on the backboard. They took her into the ambulance while the firefighters took a look at the two vehicles. They needed to make sure nothing was going to catch on fire.
"There's nothing leaking and no wires coming out. I don't see any hazards."
"Me either. I think other than the damages the cars are okay."
"Em-em- Emily...I'm...sorry. Emily."
"If you can hear me, ma'am, you're going to be okay. We're on our way to the hospital now."
She didn't reply for 2 minutes.
"Pain!"
"Are you in pain?"
"This hurts! Make it stop!"
"Give her 10 mgs of morphine. That should help bring the pain down."
"I'm giving her 10 mgs of morphine now."
Another two minutes passed before she said anything.
"Better...Jane. Where's Jane...?"
"I'll have someone contact Jane when we get there."
Maura drifted back insensible.
About 10 minutes later the two doors opened welcomed by a doctor and 3 nurses in their disposable gowns.
"Maura Isles in her 30's, she has two wounds that we know of, I gave her 10 mgs of morphine for the pain. She's in and out of consciousness. Oh, and she mentioned the names Emily and Jane. She has her phone in her purse."
"Okay. Thanks." The doctor reached forward to help her get out of the ambulance.
"Alright, I want her hooked up to a machine and stats on her immediately!" The doctor barked his orders.
Everyone moved quickly taking orders from the doctor.
"Rizzoli."
"Hello. I'd like to inform you that Maura Isles is in the hospital. She asked for you in the ambulance and you're the only person named Jane on her phone."
"What happened?! Is she okay?!"
"She was hit in a car accident. She's currently unconscious, but she's waking up slowly.
"Okay. I'll be there soon." Jane hung up the phone rushing to get to the hospital.
"Hello."
"Hello. I'd like to inform you that Maura Isles is in the hospital. She mentioned your name in the ambulance and you're the only person named Emily in her phone."
"Oh my god. Is she okay? What happened?"
"She's currently unconscious, but she's waking up slowly. She was hit in a car accident."
"Okay. I'm coming. I'll be there soon." Emily ended the call taking off her high heels and putting on flip flops. She then grabbed her keys and ran out of the house.
Jane came through the hospital and went to the front desk immediately.
"Hi. How can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Maura Isles."
"Ah. Give me a second." She looked through the charts that were neatly organized to her left.
She went through a few of them before reaching Maura's chart.
"She's in room 147. It's on the second level, down the hall on the right side."
"Thanks."
Jane hurried to the elevator while she waited with another person.
Just then Emily ran in and went straight to the front desk.
"Hi, I'm looking for Maura Isles," she said out of breath.
"She's in room 147. It's on the second level, down the hall on the right side. Good luck, dear!"
Emily ran over to the elevator and waited impatiently for the elevator to come. The doors opened and Emily ran past both Jane and the other person. Jane looked at Emily with a dirty look, but looked past that. She just wanted to get up to Maura. There was complete silence in the elevator, finally the elevator dinged. Jane and Emily were the first ones out, both running in the same direction. Jane out ran Emily, getting to the room sooner. Then Emily followed her in. Maura was conscious and her eyes widened to the sight upon her.
Emily pushed her way by Jane, going over to the side of Maura's bed and taking her hand into her own.
"How are you feeling?" Emily caressed Maura's hand.
Jane watched the way Emily held her hand, stroking it slowly. She wished she was the one by her bedside, holding her hand, being by her side.
"I'm feeling kinda better. The doctor was just here. He told me that he stitched me up and I could go home tomorrow if everything's good. If not then he'll keep me another day. They want to keep me overnight to monitor me."
Jane felt spontaneous and walked over to Maura's left side, sat down on the chair and put her hand on Maura's leg.
Emily glared at the hand placed on Maura's leg.
"What happened?" Emily looked back to Maura's face.
"Uh...I was driving, the light was green and then a car came crashing to my side. That's all I remember."
"Oh my God, Maura. I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?"
"It's not your fault. Actually, can you get me a cup of water?"
"Yes. Of course. Anything." Emily turned around and took the pitcher of water and a cup into her hands, pouring it steadily.
"Here you go."
Maura sat up, taking the cup and began to drink the whole cup.
"Thank you."
"Would you like another one?"
"No thank you. One is enough."
She gave the empty cup to Emily to put on the counter.
"You must be Jane. I've heard soo much about you." There was a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Oh, you have?" She paused for a second. "Wonderful," she said sarcastically. "Too bad I haven't heard much about you."
Emily's face dropped. She looked down and then bit her lip.
"Well, there's a reason why, isn't there? Anyways."
She's beautiful, Jane thought to herself. No wonder why Maura dated her. Or is dating. If she is I probably shouldn't be holding her leg. I don't care. She's my friend and I'm here for her... Emily's beautiful, well dressed, and she seems to care about her a lot.
She's so manly, Emily thought. Not well dressed at all. She's a peasant. I wonder what Maura sees in her. I'm clearly more of a reasonable and suitable choice for her. I thought she wants a woman, not a man. I'm so much better then Jane is.
Maura sat there looking at Jane trying to figure out what she was thinking. Her jaw was clenched and she knew that Jane was thinking hard about something. She lay there, uncomfortable in the silence.
"So, you said that you were going to stay here overnight."
"Yes, I do believe I did," Maura's eyes met Emily's.
"Well...maybe you might want me to stay," she held Maura's hand in hers again.
"I can stay, if you want me to, Maur. I don't mind. I can take tomorrow off."
Maura's eyes lit up, even through what she just went through today. Jane always had that effect on her.
"I'm sure you're probably very busy with your job. I can stay. It's no inconvenience. What do you think, Maura?"
Hives started to become visible.
"Alright, don't pressure her too much. She's starting to break out." Jane tried to lower the amount of pressure Emily was putting on her.
"Jane."
"Come again?" Emily was in complete awe.
"I want Jane to stay," she said as she took a big gulp.
"Why?" Emily's eyebrows lowered as she questioned her decision.
"Emily, we're over. I can't keep holding you down. You need to go be free and start a life with someone who truly loves you and deserves you. I'm not that person. Jane, she is my person. I deserve her. I want to start a life with her. That," she took a few seconds and lowered her voice. "That is why I'm choosing her."
"Oh." Her voice was low. She looked as if she was going to cry again that night. "I'm just going to go. I think that's a good idea. I hope you get better soon, Maura. Bye." She walked out of the door with tears falling down her face.
"Wow. Did that just-?"
"Yes."
"You both are-?"
"Yes."
"I'm your per-?"
"Yes."
Jane bent down and gave Maura a chaste kiss.
"That's all I get?" Maura joked.
Jane bent down again and kissed her more passionately.
"Better?"
"Definitely."
"Well, I have good news and bad news."
"What's the good news?"
"I'm staying here with you."
"And the bad news?"
"I stink and I have no change of clothes."
Maura smiled. "You can always get a hospital gown. I'd like the view very much."
"Oh, I bet you would!"
The tension in the room was replaced by happiness and lots of laughter.
"If you have to stay another night I'll have someone go check on Jo and Bass and get me some clothes."
"You sure? The hospital gow-"
"No. Completely out of the question. I don't want my ass to show all the time."
"Language," she said before smirking."I do."
"Anyways, you'll just have to deal with me."
"Don't I always?" Maura giggled.
"Ha ha. Very funny."
"Oh, this is going to be a long night..."
What did you all think? I quite fancy this chapter, but I want to know what you think. All reviews are extremely appreciated. Next chapter will be the night in the hospital or just the next morning. That's still undecided.
