Chapter Ten
"Rachel, keep pressure on the wound," Mouth said, holding her hand with one hand.
"Wh--why are yo---you slow-ing do---wn," Rachel coughed out.
"We lost him a little while back, look, we're close to Luke's, just hang in there," Mouth said, never letting go of Rachel's hand.
----------------------------------
"Look, Mouth will be here soon, we have to get something ready for those to girls to lay on," Haley said.
"I know, but I mean what are we going to do, none of us are doctors," Lucas said.
"Do you not know what I went to college for?" Haley asked.
"Actually, no," Lucas said, lying down two blankets and two sheets apiece, along with two pillows.
"I went to be a nurse, although I went for pediatric nurse. I do know how to take care of adults to," Haley said.
"Really," Lucas said, a little shocked.
"Yeah, I am hoping the bullets aren't in to far, because if they are then they'll have to have surgery," Haley said.
The mention of surgery, and they're best friend, made the girls have tears in they're eyes.
------------------------------------------
"Alright we're only a couple of miles away, I gotta call Luke to let him know," Mouth said, taking his hand from Rachel's to grab his cell.
"Hey, Luke, look we're like a couple of miles away," Mouth said.
"Alright, we got some blankets laid out on the floor, and apparently Haley is a sort of nurse. So she is going to do what she can for the girls," Lucas said.
"Alright, good," Mouth said.
----------------------------------------
"Okay guys, they're almost here, we gotta ready ourselves for them," Lucas said.
Chase had a hold of Brooke, who was crying pretty hard. Nathan held Haley's hand as she got her nurse bag out. Peyton sat on the couch in-between Karen and Rebecca. They got pulled together, when they heard a honk out front.
Nathan and Lucas walked to the window, and saw Mouth getting out of the car.
"Okay, we gotta help Mouth, you girls stay here," Lucas said.
--------------------------------------
"Hey, how are they," Lucas asked, as he ran out the door.
"Shelly has been unconscious for a while, Rachel just lost consciousness," Mouth said.
"Okay, Mouth you carry Shelly, me and Nate will get Rach," Lucas said.
"Okay, please be careful," Mouth said.
"We will," Nathan said, patting Mouth on the shoulder.
----------------------------------
The guys grabbed the girls, and carried them toward the door, with Shelly's neighbor and daughter following.
They got to the door, to have it opened by Peyton. They got inside, and laid them down on the blankets.
-----------------------------------
"Okay Mouth, what are they're conditions," Haley asked, who was already check for a pulse.
"Shelly's been unconscious for a while, and was shot in the stomach area. Rachel just lost consciousness, and was shot in the back near her shoulder," Mouth said.
"Okay, good," Haley said.
"Hun, do you need any help?" Nathan asked.
"No, not yet," Haley said, checking Shelly's pulse.
"Okay here's the situation. Rachel has a pretty strong pulse, right now. She hasn't lost nearly as much blood as Shelly. Shelly I'm really worried about, she has a very weak pulse. She has lost a lot of blood, and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get it to stop," Haley said.
"Okay," Mouth said, with a frighten look on his face.
"If we don't get her to a hospital soon, she won't make it," Haley said, matter-of-factly.
