Shane POV

The paramedics arrived and loaded Mitchie, Nate, and Jason into ambulances, Jason rode with Nate and I hopped a ride with Mitchie. The paramedics were working on Mitchie, hooking her up to oxygen, giving her pain medication, and trying to stop the bleeding were the three big things happening at the moment. Another paramedic was tending to my back, making sure nothing major was wrong with it. Although the paramedic said it would be best if I got an x-ray or MRI just to be sure nothing is seriously wrong, but he said it should be fine. I wondered how Nate and Jason were doing.

We arrived at the hospital twenty minutes later. Nate and Mitchie were both rushed into the emergency room doors while Jason and I exited slower. Jason was walking but I was in a wheelchair because it hurt my back to walk right now. Our paramedics led us to the doors of the hospital.

I turned to Jason, "What did they say about your arm?"

"He said that my shoulder is definitely dislocated and popped it back into place before we left for the hospital. He told me that I would need x-rays for my arm to see what the damage is and maybe an MRI. I have to wait though. What about you? Why are you in the chair? How's your back?"

"Badly bruised, very painful, really hurts to move, especially walk, that is why I am in the chair. He told me he wants me to get an MRI and x-ray to make sure nothing major is wrong. I am sure they will probably take Nate for PET, MRI, and a CT scan with as hard as he was hit."

"Yeah, I wonder how Nate and Mitchie are doing anyway. Speaking of Mitchie, I should probably tell the nurse to let the doctor know that he will be coming to either you or me with information on Mitchie, it should already be in Nate's file."
"Excuse me," I asked the paramedic leading Jason and I into the building,"do you think it would be possible for you to find a room that my three friends and I could share? We would all feel better if we were close to each other."

"I will see what I can do. What are the names of your other two friends so I can put in the request?" he asked me.

"Mitchie Torres and Nate Black." I told him.

"I will see what I can do."

"Thank you."

A nurse walked up to us and took both Jason and I to get our vitals checked, again. As we were led through the doors into the back I saw the paramedic walk up to the desk and talk to the nurse that was sitting there.

"Excuse me Ma'am," Jason tried to get the nurse's attention.

"Oh none of this Ma'am business, call me Emily." she chastised.

"Alright, well I am Jason and this is Shane." Jason smiled at her.

"Now, what can I do for you?" She asked and smiled at us.

"My sister was brought in with us. The person who was listed as her medical contact is no longer her contact. If possible can you let the doctor know that either myself or Shane is to be informed of Mitchie's condition please?" Jason asked her.

"Of course. All you have to do is fill out some paperwork and I will file it in her file, and your sister will sign it when she is able." Emily informed Jason with a smile as she took our blood pressure, pulse, and temperature. "Alright, follow me."

We followed Emily to a room. When we entered the room, I saw four beds in the room and smiled. The paramedic had been able to do something. I didn't know if Mitchie and Nate would actually be able to join us in the room for a while, it all depended on what their conditions were. Emily helped me onto the bed.

"Someone will come to collect you for your x-rays and MRIs soon. Just sit tight for a little bit. I will be back to check on you soon." she turned to leave. "Oh one more thing," she turned back to us, "I will be your nurse for the entirety of your stay, that includes Nate and Mitchie as well. Don't be afraid to talk to me or ask me any question at all. If you need to talk and just want someone to listen, don't be afraid to ask, I am willing to listen, I know there are somethings that you can't talk to your friends or siblings about but you really need to talk to someone, just need someone to listen, I can do that, don't hesitate to ask. If you need anything while I am not on duty, here's my number, don't hesitate to call or text me. I will pick up." She handed us a piece of paper, smiled, and left the room.

"She seems really nice, I am glad she is our nurse." I said to Jason. When he didn't respond I looked over at him. He was staring at the door, nodding his head. "Dude, you okay?"

Jason looked at me, "She's beautiful, I wonder if she likes birds."

"Why don't you ask her?" I could tell Jason was taken with Emily. "Ask her what she likes, talk to her get to know her. She didn't seem to know that we were Connect 3 or if she did she didn't care. She treated us like normal people, like Mitchie and Caitlyn. Speaking of Caitlyn, we should probably let her know what happened to Nate. She will be pissed we didn't tell her sooner." Jason nodded and sat down.

Emily came back about twenty minutes later.

"Have they still not come to take you back?"

"No." Jason told her. She smiled.

"That's weird, I will go see what the hold up is, I will be right back." She turned to leave.

"Wait!" I called out. She turned around.

"Yes?"

"Can we borrow your phone to inform Nate's girlfriend what is happening? She is also Mitchie's best friend."

"Of course, here you go." She handed me her phone and left. I dialed Cailyn's number.

Caitlyn ; Shane

"Hello?"

"Caitlyn, it's Shane. Jason, Mitchie, and I are in the hospital. Mitchie didn't look too good when they brought her in."

"What about Nate is he okay? What happened?"

"Nate ...has a pretty nasty head wound. It was bleeding pretty badly when they brought him in. I will explain what happened when you get here. Jason and I are still waiting to be examined. Just get here as quick as you can."

"I will be there in an hour." She hung up just as Emily walked back into the room.

"Here's your phone back. How much longer do we have to wait?"

"They are backed up so it will be a little bit longer, sorry. If there is anything I can get you just let me know." She smiled and left.

Now we wait.
