#piperperabo

Aún buscando recuperarse de la reciente muerte de su madre, Mary Bedford (Mischa Barton), inicialmente apodada “Mouse” (Ratón) y luego “Brave” (Valiente), ingresa a un colegio privado de exclusividad femenina. Ella es la narradora de la historia, más las verdaderas protagonistas son sus compañeras de cuarto: Pauline "Paulie" Oster (Piper Perabo) y  Victoria "Tori" Moller (Jessica Paré). 

Mary, que no tardará en descubrir a Paulie metiéndose en la cama de Tori y disfrutando de una sesión apasionada, también será testigo de la repentina afición de Paulie con un águila herida y de cómo la relación entre sus compañeras alcanza un rumbo dramático cuando son halladas “con las manos en la masa” por Allison, la hermana de Tori (Emily VanCamp, en su debut cinematográfico). El temor a que tal suceso revele a sus padres religiosos la homosexualidad de Moller lleva a la joven a buscar en Jake (Luke Kirby), alumno de otro colegio, al novio ideal para matar todas las habladurías. Y a Paulie, incapaz de aceptar que su chica no la ama, a abrazar la desesperación y la locura.

La guionista Judith Thompson y la directora Léa Pool adaptaron la novela “The Wives of Bath”, de Susan Swan y la convirtieron en un relato doloroso sobre la magnitud de la pasión adolescente y la intensa aflicción del amor que debe mantenerse escondido por un supuesto bien mayor.

Part 24

Joan: pov the nurse is helping Annie in the bathroom once she is done I help her get back to bed.

Nurse Judy: pov I need to check your vitals and your arm to make sure there is no infection, you said she is itchy. Her face is definitely a little splotchy.

Joan: pov I got you your favorite smoothie Annie, why don't I hold it for you while you drink it that way the nurse can look at your arm.

Annie walker: pov I on't eel od y mach s ering e.

Nurse Judy: pov sounds like she said her stomach is bothering her.

Joan: pov you don't have to eat it if you don't want to. Sounds like she said I do want to eat it. Nurse Judy mentions Annie's vitals are good, but her oxygen levels are a little low. She is unwrapping her arm. I notice it's splotchy and so is her other arm. I ask the nurse if it's normal. She says it's probably from the antibiotic

Nurse Judy: pov I need to check your chest to see if it has a rash on it too.

Joan: pov Hey slow down you can't drink it all at once with your stomach upset, all of a sudden Annie throws up everywhere it hits the bed and her pajamas.

Nurse Judy: pov she needs to be cleaned up but first I would like to call her Doctor's see what they want to do because it looks like the antibiotics gave her a rash and upset stomach.

Dr Carpenter: pov what seems to be the problem.

Nurse Judy: pov Annie threw up everywhere and she has some type of rash. She might need some benadryl and nausea meds. Plus her oxygen levels are a little low.

Dr Carpenter: pov let's have a look, definitely looks like a rash it could be from the antibiotics. Nurse Judy let's push some benadryl and nausea meds and see how she does. Let's up her oxygen and switch her to the mask, Annie is definitely having some trouble breathing. The vomiting probably brought some stuff up which is making it harder for her to breathe and causing swelling. As a precaution can you take her temperature. I will be back later to check on her and see how she is doing.

Nurse Judy: pov Let's get you cleaned up Annie, someone else will change the sheets. If we can get her to sit in the chair then we can get her hospital gown off safely. Thankfully it was only the gown and bed that got hit with the barf.

Joan: pov I can tell Annie feels miserable, I grab the new pajamas I got her so we have something to change her into that's not a hospital gown. I know she hates them. I remind her not to scratch her skin even though it's itchy. Nurse Judy mentions the benadryl will make Annie sleepy. I'm trying to decide if I should text or call Ryan. He said to call if anything happened to Annie, I just don't want to ruin his time with his brother.

Ryan McQuaid: pov my phone is ringing its Joan, must be important. I mouth to my brother Joan so he knows who it is calling. Hey Joan, what's going on, is everything okay with Annie.

Joan: pov Annie has a rash on her body and threw up, plus she is having some trouble breathing. Dr Carpenter gave her nausea meds and benadryl. I could tell she was just so miserable.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I can leave early if she needs me i’m almost done eating.

Joan: pov that’s okay you don't have too. She is asleep now, hopefully she will feel better soon.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I let Jeff know what is going on with Annie.

Jeff McQuaid: pov it's okay if you have to leave early. Annie will probably still be miserable when she wakes up and if you can comfort her and make her feel a little better then that's a reason to leave, at least finish your dinner first.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I will. When the waiter comes back around asking if we want dessert I ask for it to go and pay the bill. I make sure to order Joan and Annie a dessert with mine.

Joan: pov Ryan just texted me letting me know he is back at the hospital. I had all these fun things to do with Annie but couldn't do, because she didn't feel good.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I quietly open the door to Annie's room and enter, Joan texted me saying she was still sleeping. Hope you don't mind I got you a dessert.

Joan: pov wow thank you so much. After updating him on Annie's condition, I ask him if he had a good time with his brother.

Ryan McQuaid: pov Yeah it was nice hanging out with him. We got to talking and he brought up the fact that my sister is pregnant with her 3rd and if It made me think about having kids. With Kelly I didn't want kids then and she did then she got cancer and couldn't have any. Cancer took that choice from her being a mom. I definitely don't want a repeat of that, I still don't know if I want kids or if Annie does let alone If she can have any.

Joan: pov sorry you had to go through that with Kelly.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I wanted your opinion on the whole children thing, my brother thinks me and Annie for peace of mind should see if we can or can't have children.

Joan: pov I don't know, finding out you can't have children is awful thankfully me and Arthur didn't have any of those problems a friend of mine had fertility issues with multiple miscarriages, after years of trying she has a healthy baby now. Your best bet is to talk with Annie about this, if you want I can give you the number of my ovgyn.

Ryan McQuaid: pov not right now, you don't have to stay now that I'm here unless you want to. How's Mack doing?

Part 23

Jeff McQuaid: pov that also sounds like a good idea. Hey I was thinking of learning how to scuba dive, any recommendations or advice. I know you are certified from your military days.

Ryan McQuaid: pov make sure you find a legit place to learn and to practice with flippers and goggles in your spare time.

Jeff McQuaid: pov any plans on teaching Annie how to scuba dive or does she already know how to.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I have no idea if she knows how but even if she didn't I don't think she would be able to. You can't have certain pre-existing conditions when scuba diving; it's not safe.

Jeff McQuaid: pov had no idea about that. if you don't mind me asking how did you and Annie meet.

Ryan McQuaid: pov she was working on something and our paths crossed as soon as i met her i wanted to know more about her she was very secretive at the time.

Jeff McQuaid: pov is that when you found out she had health issues.

Ryan McQuaid: pov no, are paths crossed again while she was on a work trip. I was on a boat and noticed her on shore fall to the ground. I quickly called a Dr I know in the area who met me at my safe house. He was confused about what he was treating her for at first but then Annie woke up and told him she has Myocarditis, he gave her some meds since she didn't have any due to an earlier encounter me and her had with a police officer.

Jeff McQuaid: pov wow that must have been scary to witness after everything that happened to your first wife.

Ryan McQuaid: pov it was, but it also made me want to make sure she was safe. After that we became closer.

Jeff McQuaid: pov I can see you really love her.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I do.

Jeff McQuaid: pov do you ever wonder if you're repeating history by dating Annie because she has health issues and so did Kelly.

Ryan McQuaid: pov you do have a point, I never noticed it before. Me and Kelly had our life planned out, then she got sick. With Annie I thought she was cute and wanted to get to know her, then she revealed she had medical issues and I just wanted to learn everything I could about it to make sure Annie was okay, her condition is dangerous if left untreated it can cause damage.

Jeff McQuaid: pov the way I see it Kelly lost her battle with cancer and I think with Annie having a medical condition you are trying to make up for Kelly's death by making sure Annie is well taken care of health wise.

Ryan McQuaid: pov you might be right in a way.

Jeff McQuaid: pov By the way what did the Dr say, will this cause any long term issues.

Ryan McQuaid: pov besides the valve damage from her Myocarditis which will need fixing at some point, they think Annie will need a little physical therapy since she was off her feet for a bit and possibly speech therapy. I order the steak and lobster while Jeff orders the ribs with fries.

Jeff McQuaid: pov she has valve damage?

Ryan McQuaid: pov Yeah, they are keeping an eye on it making sure it doesn't get worse.

Jeff McQuaid: pov what happens if it gets worse.

Ryan McQuaid: pov they most likely would replace it instead of repair it.

Jeff McQuaid: pov is there a difference between how they would go in to fix a valve or replace it.

Ryan McQuaid: pov i’v looked it up, it's pretty much the same surgery just instead of fixing the valve it would be replaced, there is a risk that with the valve being replaced the body might regret the new valve.

Jeff McQuaid: pov that does not sound fun at all.

Ryan McQuaid: pov it's not, that would mean more complications and possibly more surgeries.

Jeff McQuaid: pov with her possibly needing surgery that must be scary especially for her.

Ryan McQuaid: pov definitely, plus she doesn't want to have another surgery.

Jeff McQuaid: pov wait, she's had surgery before?

Ryan McQuaid: pov yes.

Jeff McQuaid: pov where did she have surgery before?

Ryan McQuaid: pov on her heart, she had severe chest trauma from a shooting her and her then boyfriend who died were making dinner when a woman snuck in and shot them. Annie had 2 bullets in her chest and her boyfriend died. The lady snuck out the back door so it would look like Annie shot Simon. At the hospital after the emergency surgery, the woman who shot them snuck in as a Dr and tried to kill Annie by putting a pillow over her mouth. They had to use the paddles on her.

Jeff McQuaid: pov that's insane did they ever catch the woman.

Ryan McQuaid: pov she's dead didn't want to surrender.

Jeff McQuaid: pov I guess she deserves it but definitely an easy way out. Doesn't have to sit in jail after she caused all of this, Annie must have flashbacks or ptsd from it.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I have no idea she has never mentioned it to me and neither has Joan.

Jeff McQuaid: pov after a few minutes our food arrives and it looks amazing

Joan: pov looks like Annie is up now, hey how are you feeling. Her cheeks look a little splotchy.

Annie walker: pov y rm urts, t’s ill umb nd m chy, ere yan.

Joan: pov he left to hang out with his brother, Ryan didn't want to bother you since you were asleep. I think she said her arm hurts, it's still numb and she is itchy. I have to hit the nurses button in case she has to pee. Do you have to pee?

Annie walker: pov es.

Nurse Judy: pov you hit the button for me.

Joan: pov yes Annie's arm hurts and she said she is itchy plus she has to pee.
