#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 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.

Part 19

Jeff McQuaid: pov I'm on my lunch break eating and wanted to know if you wanted to hang out later today it's the last day of my business trip but I might be able to extend the trip a few days if you want.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I would love to hang out later. It's been hard with Annie in the hospital. I don't want to leave her side because she needs so much help at the moment. That's up to you if you want to extend the trip.

Jeff McQuaid: pov how about dinner tonight that way we can catch up.

Ryan McQuaid: pov that sounds good I will have to see how Annie feels first, it shouldn't be too hard to get someone to visit with her while I'm gone I can probably ask Joan she would probably love to have a girls night with Annie. After hanging up with my brother, I call Joan on the phone. Hey, are you free tonight. My brother wants to hang out.

Joan: pov and you don't want to leave Annie alone, I understand and yes I'm free Arthur can spend time with Mack.

Ryan McQuaid: pov Auggie is here right now because I had a dentist appointment.

Joan: pov Arthur mentioned something about it this morning as he was leaving the house.

Ryan McQuaid: pov Annie could use some girl time, she got her hair washed this morning since her stitches are out and a sponge bath.

Joan: pov can you ask the Dr's if she can have her nails painted and use a face mask.

Ryan McQuaid: pov no problem. I'm back in her room with my food, Annie is asleep. Hey Auggie, I just wanted to let you know Joan is coming by later to hang out with Annie and have some girl time. My brother wants to hang out with me and I don't want to leave her alone.

Auggie: pov you could have asked me I would have stayed.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I know Auggie but there might be other days when I need you. Plus you have been here most of the morning and I didn't want you to think you had to stay longer. Why don't you take Tasha out to dinner while you are here.

Auggie: pov after chatting with Ryan for a bit I decide to head out early since Annie is asleep.

Ryan McQuaid: pov I get up from my chair and grab my laptop that's in my bag so i can catch up on some emails. Once I'm done with that I turn the TV on and make sure the volume is low, while channel changing I land on some survival show that looks interesting. I would love to take Annie camping in a tent or cabin but with her health it's a big risk and I'm not sure if I want to take that risk because if something happens to her It might take a while for help to get to her.

Joan: pov McQuaid said he talked with Annie's Dr and it's fine for me to paint her nails and put a face mask on. As I'm leaving my office I stop by Calder's to let him know I'm leaving a little bit early to visit Annie, McQuaid has plans with his brother tonight.

Calder: pov can you let annie know me and everyone in the cia are trying to figure out who orchestrated this and why she was targeted.

Joan: pov will do.

Calder: pov do they know when she will be released from the hospital.

Joan: pov no idea, she is still on oxygen but doing better her speech is still slurred. She might need speech therapy on top of physical therapy if it doesn't improve.

Calder: pov by the way Eric Barber has been asking how Annie is if you have a few minutes can you update him.

Joan: pov no problem, I can do it right now if he is in his cubicle.

Calder: pov yes he is.

Joan: pov great i will stop by on my way out.

Eric Barber: pov hey Joan, everything okay.

Joan: pov yeah Calder said you were asking about Annie so I came to update you on my way out.

Eric Barber: pov thanks.

Joan: pov she is doing better her concussion is improving she is still on oxygen though, her speech is still slurred and hard to understand at the moment the weird eye thing that happened most likely was a side effect of the medication they gave her the tests ruled out seizures and strokes which is awesome. She will need physical therapy and possibly speech therapy when she gets released and before you ask I have no idea when that will be.

Eric Barber: pov I'm glad she is doing a little better, she really scared me I thought she wasn't going to make it.
