The inside of Tess's office wasn't very comforting at that present moment for Charlie and Selena. Selena stood staring at a random poster on the wall, her eyes weren't looking, they just needed something to focus on. Charlie was stood frozen to the spot. He couldn't believe what Tess had just told them.

"No…no..It can't be.." Selena mumbled, the others nodded. "But..how..wha.. We have to go, come on!" grabbing Charlie by the wrist they ran through cubicles and out into Reception. "Come on!" before they burst through the doors to the car park. Spying Josh and Luke, Selena jumped into the ambulance as followed by Charlie. He didn't know what he was going to do, his mind was a jumbled mess.

-----------------------------------------

Selena just wanted to get there and help her best friend, but the journey felt like a lifetime. Charlie was getting more and more anxious. Both of them had been sitting either biting their nails or staring into space. When finally the ambulance pulled gently to a halt, Selena began to shake violently, Charlie reached over and took her hand in his, trying to reassure her. She smiled a forced smile before the back doors swung open to reveal the scene. The pair stepped out, took a sharp intake of breath, and let their eyes come to terms with the sight in front of them.

A red Renault had collided with a taxi head on. Shattered glass, paper and other debris was scattered everywhere. Two other ambulance crews were there; the paramedics surveying their surroundings, checking that it was safe to enter; the police had cordoned of the area with yellow tape and a fire crew had just arrived. The two drivers were sitting on the pavement, one in tears the other holding a bloody nose, they couldn't believe what had happened either. Charlie and Selena's eyes both searched the area, both looking for the same thing. An eerie blue smoke clouded from underneath the taxis bonnet., Selena froze as it led her eyes to the bonnet of the other car. The familiar grey coat of her friend registered first, then the horror sunk in. "Maggie!" she screamed, attempting to run over, before being stopped by a police official, it wasn't safe. "Maggie, no…" she whispered, glancing through he tears, Selena focused on the scene.

On the bonnet of the other car lay a slumped outline of Maggie. Glass lay around her, of which, a small pool of blood had turned deadly red. Her briefcase was near her, the contents strewn everywhere. Selena was numb. 'How did it happen? Why? What happened?' thoughts raced through her mind, mixed emotions being dragged alone for the ride. Anger towards the drivers, panic and worry for her best friend, all mixed in with a large amount of adrenaline.

Charlie couldn't move, couldn't feel, couldn't cry. As if today hadn't been stressful enough already. He was aware of everything around him, Selena sobbing quietly beside him, the paramedics running back and fro, curious bystanders watching form windows and the pavement; the fire crew waiting on permission to access the area. Most of all, he could she his best friend lying on the bonnet of a car of a complete stranger. A car and stranger he had called and trusted. A feeling of immense guilt swamped his body. Although, before he could dwell on it, he felt Selena rush past him, under the yellow tape and straight over to Maggie. Followed by Luke and Woody. Returning to his senses, he followed suit, below the tape and through the cars. He needed to help, he needed to save, he needed to say so much.

Selena had got over the initial shock, just, and was now on auto pilot. Maggie was a mess, blood was seeping from under her coat, her arms and face were scratched to bits, but she was beginning to awake slightly. Taking pulse checks and injecting her friend with analgesia, Selena had decided that this was definitely the hardest thing she had ever had to do. Gasping as Maggie's eyes fluttered, she quickly smiled, so not to alarm her.

"Sel-" Maggie's voice was very quiet, almost a whisper and very weak. She smiled.

"Shhhh, petal. Everything's ok." Selena ushered, smiling back. Maggie tried to move slightly, before wincing at the pain. "Hey, try not to move, Kay? You'll soon get you to Holby."

"Wha- wha-." the smile began to disappear form Maggie's face, she drifting from consciousness again.

"Stay with us petal, stay with us." Selena barely whispered as she stood back to let Luke and Woody in. They carefully lifted Maggie up onto a stretcher thing, before taking her into their ambulance. Selena sobbed softly as she walked over to Charlie, who had been instructed to treat the two driver much to his annoyance. He was quizzing them as to what had happened as she approached, watching the ambulance pull away.
