AVAS POV

'Has it ever hurt like this before,' Sylvie asked.

'Yeah, but every time they doped me up pretty quick to shut me up.' I said

'What's this scar from'. She asked.

'Got shot,' I threw up again.

'Ok I think the bullet might be pushing on something in there, I'm going to have to take you to the hospital so they can get a better look.'

'No.'

'Ava it's better for you. They can fix the problem.'

'No. Jays going to be mad'.

'No he won't, he is going to be happy that you will get better.' I nodded. 'Can you walk?' I tried getting up but it hurt too much. I screamed and cried harder. 'Ok I'm going to pick you up.' He lifted me up and I cried even harder if it was possible. 'It's ok we're almost there.' It felt like someone was stabbing me over and other and I was getting really dizzy. He put me down on what I assumed was the stretcher. 'I'm gonna come with you and call Jay ok'.

I was strapped down to the stretcher so I wouldn't fall off but I was about to be sick again so I tried waving my hands around a bit, too scared to open my mouth. He got the message and moved a tray under my nose which I emptied whatever was left in my stomach. Whoever was driving turned on the sirens and I assumed the lights and started driving. Matt pulled out his phone and called Jay's number. I heard it ring and go to voicemail. He tried it again, Voicemail. 'I'll call Mouse, he can get through to him.' he changed to mouse contact. Thankgod he answered.

'We're here', I was pulled out and didn't get to hear the rest of the conversation.

Sylvie and her partner pushed me into a room, followed by a pretty doctor. They gave her a quick run down before taking the stretcher and leaving.

'Hello. I'm Dr Manning, but you may call me natalie. What's your name?'

'Ava. I'm not really in the mood for small talk.'

'Ok. i'm going to take a quick look, do an ultrasound and then we can fix the problem. Have you ever had an ultrasound before?'

'No', it sounded bad.

'Nothing to be afraid of. It doesn't hurt, the gel is just a little cold. Most people say it tickles a little. Basically it will let me see what's going on in there.'

'O..okay'

It was cold and it did tickle.

'Alright so the bullet is poking into your spleen and that is what is causing your pain. We are going to do a surgery to remove it. I promise you won't feel a thing. Do you know if someone is here to stay with you until we are ready?'

'I think Matt is somewhere out there.'

"Casey?'

'I...don't know. He's a firefighter'.

'Yep i know him. I'll go bring him up.' And with that she left me alone. Holy shit I was scared.

About 5 mins later Matt came in and sat next to me and held my hand and talked to me. He was actually a huge comfort and when I went in he told me he would be waiting for me when I got out with Jay.

There was a mask placed on my face and I was told to count backwards from 10.

I got to 7 before everything went black.
