#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 22

Ryan McQuaid: pov nerve damage how serious is it?

Dr Rosen: pov right now it's too early to tell, it could be temporary or permanent. She will definitely need physical therapy for it.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I grab my phone and call my brother since i’m already in the hallway and let him know the results of Annie's scans and X-ray.

Jeff McQuaid: pov so does that mean you are coming.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I guess Joan convinced me.

Jeff McQuaid: pov hey I meant to ask before but didn't want to intrude, you have not mentioned Annie's family once. Does she not have any or is she no contact with them because if I was in the hospital I would want my family to know.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I actually don't know if she has any, Annie has never mentioned them to me nor has Joan and she would know that info. I can ask her right now actually. I quietly sneak back into Annie's room to talk to Joan, hey can we head into the hallway I don't want to wake her up. I can see Annie through the door while I talk with Joan.

Joan: pov is everything okay.

Ryan McQuaid: pov her head scan looked good, her arm one showed possible nerve damage and her X-ray looked good.

Joan: pov Nerve damage do they know if it's temporary or permanent.

Ryan McQuaid: pov no, that's not why I want to talk to you. Do you know if Annie has any family, she hasn't mentioned any to me the whole time we have known each other. and my brother said if he was in the hospital he would want them to be called and it got me thinking about if she had a family and if she does why weren't they notified that she was in the ER.

Joan: pov it's complicated, as you know Annie faked her own death to catch a bad man with the help of Calder and eyal and then went dark for a bit. I left it up to Annie if she wanted her sister to know she was alive and Annie kept saying it was safer for her sister not to know. Auggie was the one who notified her of Annie's death.

Ryan McQuaid: pov that's rough. But shouldn't she have a right to know her sister is alive.

Joan: pov yes but that's Annie's choice.

Ryan McQuaid: pov with her health being bad I think she should tell her sister she is alive.

Joan: pov yes, maybe you can convince her. I think her sister should know she is alive.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I head back into Annie's room with Joan before I have to leave. I hear the door slowly open, it's Dr carpenter the nurse must have told him Annie was asleep.

Dr Carpenter: pov Annie is definitely asleep, In a low voice i mention that i just wanted to check on Annie, see how she's doing. Her vitals look much better, tomorrow she has an echocardiogram scheduled.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I brush Annie's hair out of her face with my hand and kiss her on the forehead. I tell Joan to call or text me if anything happens. I make it to the restaurant in good time and find the booth my brother is sitting in.

Jeff McQuaid: pov hey, you made it how's Annie?

Ryan McQuaid: pov Pretty much the same, she was asleep when I left. I didn't want to wake her up.

Jeff McQuaid: pov the waiter asks us if we would like to order something to drink while we look at the menu. Yes, a beer.

Ryan McQuaid: pov soda is fine for me. I don't want to drink anything because I have to go back to the hospital after this to be with Annie.

Jeff McQuaid: pov that makes sense. Our waiter's name is Charles, the menu has a lot of interesting food on it. Ryan has been here before, he is the one who picked out the place. Hey Charles do you happen to have non-alcoholic beer?

Charles the waiter: pov yes I do, would you like that instead of the alcoholic kind.

Jeff McQuaid: pov yes, can I also get one for my brother.

Ryan McQuaid: pov didn't even think of that as an option

Jeff McQuaid: pov now we both can have a beer and not worry.

Ryan McQuaid: pov how's the family been.

Jeff McQuaid: pov great, can you believe it leighanne is having another baby.

Ryan McQuaid: pov when she told me I was so happy for her, I talked with her on the phone recently. I wish I could spend more time with you guys but with work and Annie's health it's hard to find time.

Jeff McQuaid: pov Remember that time we went camping as kids and a bee climbed into your sleeping bag.

Ryan McQuaid: pov yep and I killed it with my bare hands and leighanne fell into the lake trying to stand up in the canoe because a bug was crawling up her leg.

Jeff McQuaid: pov I miss camping, we should definitely get together and go camping again.

Ryan McQuaid: pov i’v been wanting to go, I know Annie would love It but with her health that might not be a good idea.

Jeff McQuaid: pov wouldn't hurt to ask her Dr's about it. Leighanne’s been talking about taking the kids camping for a while, but now that she is pregnant it would have to be after the baby is born and it's it's little older. Have you ever thought about having kids?

Ryan McQuaid: pov Kelly wanted kids and I didn't then she got cancer and that was off the table, I haven't thought about it since then.

Jeff McQuaid: pov have you talked with Annie about it to see if she wants kids.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I haven't brought it up because I don't know if she can have any.

Jeff McQuaid: pov sorry I didn't think about that. Just for peace of mind, is there any way to find out if you or Annie can or can't have kids, because there are probably some good obgyn doctors nearby. I just don't want you to miss out on having kids if it's an option. you can probably ask leighanne for a good recommendation.

Part 21

Annie walker: pov y rm eels unny.

Ryan McQuaid: pov what type of funny?

Annie walker: pov ike t's ingling.

Dr Rosen: pov annie can you move your fingers for me, good girl. I don't like how they are moving. She probably injured a nerve. I think I'm going to call down and see if the scan room is open as a precaution, she has one scheduled for tomorrow anyway. I will be back in a few minutes.

Ryan McQuaid: pov Looks like the scan room is open, Joan says she will stay here in the room, she wants to call Arthur anyway to keep him updated. An orderly is here to move Annie's gurney to the scan room, I follow beside the gurney/bed holding her hand.

Joan: pov I pick up the phone and call Arthur to let him know what happened. Hey Arthur.

Arthur: pov are you calling because you miss Mack already.

Joan: pov no, Annie fell and pulled her IV out.

Arthur: pov is she okay.

Joan: pov not sure she is getting scans as a precaution right now, she said her arm felt funny might be some minor nerve damage. Ryan came out to the parking lot to help me carry some stuff up while Annie was still asleep and she woke up and tried to go to the bathroom by herself.

Arthur: pov why didn't she ask the nurses for help she is not allowed up on her own.

Joan: pov I don't know you know Annie she is stubborn, after being shot by Lena and having major surgery she went after her before she was 100 percent. I realized then she wasn't asking me if she could go after Lena, Annie was telling me she was going after her. Which was very dangerous on her part.

Arthur: pov i figured she wasn't 100 percent when you told me she went after Lena. I can't believe she was that reckless.

Joan: pov Maybe if Annie hadn't rushed her recovery she wouldn't be in this spot.

Arthur: pov that probably didn't help but Lena shooting her caused all of this.

Joan: pov I know you're right, it's wrong to suggest Annie did anything to cause this Lena did. I'm glad she is dead.

Arthur: pov i’m going to have to let you go Mack just pooped his diaper and I think it's up his back.

Joan: pov you better take care of that. I will update you when I have more info.

Ryan McQuaid: pov while I wait outside the scan room I call my brother to let him know what is going on. Hey Jeff just wanted to let you know I might be running a little late. Annie fell getting up to go to the bathroom while I was out of the room for a second helping Joan carry a few things up to the room. I thought Annie was sleeping

Jeff McQuaid: pov is she okay.

Ryan McQuaid: pov she pulled her IV out during the fall. At the moment she is getting some scans done to make sure everything is okay.

Jeff McQuaid: pov if you can't make it, it's okay we can reschedule for tomorrow or I can stop by the hospital and bring some food.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I will update you in a bit if I can make it or not. After a bit Dr Rosen reappears with Annie, he says an orthopedic Dr is meeting us in the X-ray room, he called and it's available right now. Annie can barely keep her eyes open. i can tell she is fighting to stay awake, sweetheart it's okay to sleep if you need to. She finally gave in to the pain meds and fell asleep.

Dr Joshua: pov I'm waiting for Dr Rosen in the x-ray room. He has a patient that needs her arm X-rayed. He explains everything to me including her medical history and cardiac history.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I'm allowed in the room with Annie since she is asleep Dr Joshua is x-raying her arm differently. It should only take a few minutes, then we can head back to her room.

Dr Joshua: pov I'm not seeing anything on the x-ray only a big bruise, the area should be iced. The orderly is taking Annie back to her room.

Joan: pov After a bit the door to Annie's room opens, it's an orderly pushing her gurney/Bed back into place.

Ryan McQuaid: pov hey Joan, annie is all finished with her scans they even managed to take an x-ray of her arm. Dr Rosen should have the neurological/arm scan results soon, the orthopedic Dr looked at Annie's x-ray and didn't see any broken bones. Which is good news.

Joan: pov I think we should drink our smoothies. Annies should be okay till she wakes up.

Ryan McQuaid: pov It's so hard seeing her like this. I have to call my brother in a bit and update him after Dr Rosen speaks to us. Nurse Judy left the room after checking Annie's vitals to get some ice packs for her.

Nurse Judy: pov I got 2 ice packs for Annie if we wrap them they should be fine, the first one is for her arm and the other for her upper arm. All of Annie's monitors are on her left side except her IV which is now on her right side. 10 minutes is enough time for the ice packs after that they can be removed.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I will set a timer then that way I will know when to take the ice packs off. Any update on the case.

Joan: pov not much, still haven't figured out why the guy targeted her or why he was killed and who killed him. The timer is going off which means it's time to remove the ice packs. I can't believe Annie slept through that. I know you are worried about Annie but you should really hang out with your brother.
