#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 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.

Part 20

Ryan McQuaid: pov Joan just texted me that she is at the hospital, and has smoothie and other stuff to bring up. Since Annie is still sleeping I head downstairs to help Joan carry everything up. I'm carefully carrying the tray with the smoothies in my right hand.

Annie walker: pov as soon as my eyes open I notice Ryan isn't in the room. I wonder where he went, as I'm laying in bed I notice that I have to pee. I know I'm supposed to push the button for help but I'm tired of needing someone's help. I can probably make it to the bathroom by myself, I don't need anyone's help. As I stand up I notice my legs are shaky and unstable, I push the IV pole/stand forward that has all my stuff on it with my left hand and take a few steps forward that is when i realize my legs are giving out and I'm about to hit the floor on instinct I try to grab onto the pole with my right hand also to steady myself better but wind up pulling on my IV very painfully as I fall over knocking the IV pole with the stuff on it over.

Ryan McQuaid: pov On the other side of Annie's door I can hear a loud thump. I quickly push the door open and notice Annie on the floor, her iv pole is knocked over. I put the drinks on the table while Joan hits the nurses button, I tell her to go to the nurses station and ask for her Dr's. I rush over to Annie to make sure she is okay. Let's hope she didn't have an episode and fall over. I see some blood on the floor and her left arm. She must have pulled out her IV as she fell over. She definitely looks startled. I ask her if she is okay. Annie says ot re. Did you have an episode, She says no i ave o ee. Sounds like she has to pee. you know you're not supposed to get out of bed without help

Annie walker: pov on't eed elp.

Ryan McQuaid: pov you definitely do need help, you heard what the Dr said you're not supposed to get up by yourself. I'm afraid to touch her in case she is injured. Nurse Judy and Annie's Dr's run in the room asking if everything is okay.

Joan: pov No, McQuaid was out of the room for a few minutes while Annie slept and she got up and tried to go to the bathroom by herself when she isn't allowed to do it alone.

Nurse Judy: pov I can tell she needs a new IV. Our main priority is making sure she isn't injured and the bleeding from her pulled out IV is stopped. I’m going to keep putting pressure on the spot while Dr Carpenter checks her out.

Dr Carpenter: pov first things first lets fix her nasal oxygen tube then get her on the bed so we have space to work, Dr Rosen can you carefully help me lift Annie on to the bed. We need to make sure none of her other wires got pulled out. I check her heart rate which is a little elevated, I will give her some meds once the new IV is in. I readjust her wires.

Dr Rosen: pov i’m just going to check and make sure Annie didn't make her concussion worse with the fall. Everything looks okay, but I'm going to keep an eye on her closely. She might have a headache later due to the fall agitating her concussion. She has scans tomorrow, but i might move her scan up to tonight

Dr Carpenter: pov her arm should stop bleeding soon, Annie can you tell me if anywhere else hurts. If it's easier you can point with your right hand. Looks like she is pointing to her left upper arm. It definitely looks like it is starting to bruise. It might need to be X-rayed. Nurse Judy let's check and make sure her accidentally pulling out the IV didn't cause any damage to her arm.

Nurse Judy: pov I have Ryan McQuaid put pressure on the spot that is bleeding while I put in a new IV. I’m going to have to use the back of Annie's right hand for the new IV spot. We already used her right arm when she first came in, after a few days we switched to her left arm. I know she is going to hate it. Once the IV is in I tape it good, then i have Dr Rosen help me by holding her right hand flat so I can put the arm board/TLC splint we use on children and adults who pull out their IVs on there hand I then wrap it up and put tape on it so it can't be pulled out, it also makes it hard for your hand to move.

Ryan McQuaid: pov Annie is going to hate where the new IV is placed. Her left arm is still bleeding.

Annie walker: pov I don't like where the new IV is placed and my left arm is killing me plus I'm so upset that I fell.

Nurse Judy: pov Let's take a look at her left arm, that looks awful. It's already turning black and blue with some purple in it. Let's clean the area and see how bad it is, then we can wrap it and put some ice on it. It's pretty swollen already. The ice should help with the swelling.

Dr Rosen: pov since I don't think the fall caused her concussion to worsen I will clear her to have some pain meds because her arm is going to be killing her, they might make her sleepy.
