Ally Dawson knocks on the door to the practice room to Sonic Boom, the music store that is owned by her father, Lester. They are closing and she needs to get Trish De La Rosa, her best friend, out. There is no response. She remembers that the door is unlocked, and opens the door and calls out,
"Trish! We're about to close…"
She instantly finds Trish lying under the piano bench, passed out, and she is surrounded by three bottles of whiskey. Ally gently yet vigorously agitates the Latina, asking,
"TRISH! TRISH! Can you hear me?"
Trish slowly opens her eyes, which are red and dilated. Ally can very clearly smell the strong scent of alcohol on her friend's breath. The Latina smiles weakly and says,
"I can hear you loud and clear. My head is killing me and you don't have to yell."
Trish's speech is slurred. Ally asks,
"Are you drunk?"
Trish says,
"I… I don't know. My head hurts and I feel like-"
She is interrupted by the need to regurgitate and spills out a lake of technicolor yawn on the floor, then letting out a fit of thick coughs. She is partially being restrained by Ally. Ew, Ally thinks to herself. Ally says,
"You're probably going to have to be hospitalized."
She picks up her best friend, taking her down the stairs. Upon being carried down the music store steps, the Latina says,
"Hey, this is a fun ride."
Lester is about to lock the door when Ally comes down with her inebriated friend. Trish says,
"The ride's over so soon? But it was fun!"
Ally says,
"Dad, I'm going to need you to call 911."
Lester asks,
"What's wrong, Ally? Are you OK?"
Before she can answer, Trish lets out another puddle of vomit and tries to use the Sonic Boom counter to stand up, but faints. Ally says,
"That's why I need you to call 911. Trish is drunk."
She watches as her dad takes out his phone from his pocket and says,
"911? This is Lester Dawson. My daughter's friend is drunk and probably has alcohol poisoning. She's very confused, just threw up, and can barely stand up. Great. Thank you."
The paramedics come in ten minutes and they enter the store, and Ally gently stands her friend up and walks her to the paramedics and the ambulance. She says,
"You guys can take it from here. Please give me updates on her."
The paramedic says,
"Absolutely. Give us your number."
She does just that and watches as the paramedics place Trish on the gurney, placing an oxygen mask on her nose and mouth. Lester asks his daughter,
"Are you OK?"
Ally responds,
"I hope so, Dad. I just hope Trish is OK. I hope the doctors can do whatever they can to help her survive."
Lester says,
"Speaking of doctors, wasn't Trish supposed to go with you to your OB/GYN appointment tomorrow?"
Ally sighs.
"Yeah, but now she can't. I know this is probably a long shot, but maybe Austin will go with me."
In the morning, Austin Moon, Ally's boyfriend, comes into Sonic Boom and says,
"Hey, babe!"
Ally says,
"Hi, Austin."
Austin says,
"You look gorgeous, Ally. Like always."
She says,
"Thanks."
She says,
"Austin, I have a feeling that this is a long shot, but I have a gynecologist appointment today. Would you want to accompany me?"
He says,
"Sure, Ally. I was supposed to hang out with Dez but he's in jail for public nudity."
Ally says,
"Oh, wonderful. Something to give me nightmares. Anyway, Trish was supposed to, but last night, she had way too much to drink and I had to call an ambulance."
Austin pipes in.
"I hope she's OK."
Ally says,
"Me too. Anyway, my appointment's in an hour. Afterward, we can go visit Trish in the hospital and then get some froyo."
Austin says,
"Sounds good."
At the gynecologist appointment, Ally's gynecologist says to her,
"OK, Ms. Dawson, scoot your little tushy down, and then I will be putting this speculum up your, well, lady area, and then this swab will go up there, too."
She says,
"OK."
Ally slightly whimpers in discomfort as the doctor shoves the things up her vagina, but she trusts her gynecologist. Austin says to her,
"Here, babe. You can hold my hand."
She says,
"Thank you, Austin."
He latches onto her hand as the doctor pulls out the speculum and swab and she quietly whimpers once again.
"There you go. You should be getting the results back in about 24 hours. You can now put your clothes back on."
The doctor exits and Austin helps her up off the stirrup. He asks her,
"Are you OK?"
She says,
"I guess. I don't like things shoved up my lady parts."
He says,
"I imagine. I've had a couple of anal exams and they are not comfortable."
She changes back into her clothes and the two walk down the street to the hospital to see Trish. Ally was told that Trish's room was on the fourth floor and she sees a doctor and asks him,
"Excuse me? We're looking for Patricia De La Rosa. We're her friends."
The doctor says,
"She's right this way."
She knocks on the door that the doctor was pointing at and the couple enters. Trish's IV is slightly beeping and she is wearing a white hospital gown with blue polka dots and has a nasal cannula up her nostrils. Ally walks over to her bed, gently stroking Trish's hand and whispering,
"Hi."
The Latina slowly opens her eyes and says in a tired voice,
"Hi, Ally."
Ally asks her best friend,
"Are you OK?"
Trish says,
"Yeah. My head hurts, and I've vomited a few times in the last couple of hours, but I'm a lot better than I was last night."
Ally embraces her.
"I'm glad you're OK. Last night was scary to me. I thought I might lose my best friend."
Trish says,
"I'm always here for you, Ally."
Trish says,
"How was your pap smear? I'm sorry I couldn't go."
Austin says,
"I ended up going with her. She had to have weird stuff shoved up her lady area."
Ally shudders.
"It was very uncomfortable."
