Kiss of Death

Kelly's POV

We were rushing Taylor into med. Dawson and Brett managed to find a pulse. Once we reached the hospital we were greeted by Maggie.

"What we got?"

"36 year old female. Name is Dr. Taylor Adams. Found unresponsive in a bath tub. Had to intubate on scene." There was a brief pause in the ER when they realized who they had.

"Alright take her to bay 2! Let's move people." We wheeled taylor into bay 2. "On the count of 3 we transfer her. 1...2...3" We listed the back board Taylor was on and transferred her to the hospital bed. Taylor was still unresponsive.
I stood their watching them cut her clothes off trying to figure out what was wrong and why she still wasn't responsive. "Is there anything I need to know Kelly?"

"Umm... Shes been depressed... She's been taking painkillers... Maggie is she going to be
okay?"

"I don't know right now Kelly. But you need to go to the waiting room so we can figure this out." I reluctantly leave the ER and go sit in the waiting room. I pull out my phone and call Ashley.

"Kelly. How is she?"

"It doesn't look good Ashley." I paused for a second. "We had to break her door down. When we found her she was in the bathtub unresponsive fully clothed. I don't know how long she was there. We got a pulse and got her to med. They are working on her now."

"I'm on my way." I heard the phone disconnect. Now all there was to do was wait.
Ashley came into the ER about 30 minutes after we got off the phone. I waved her over and she took a seat next to me. "Anything new?"

"No ones told us anything."

"Let me see what I can do." Ashley got up and walked over to the nurses and started chatting them up. But before she could finish talking Dr. Will Halstead came out to the waiting room.

I jumped up and walked over to him. "Dr. Halstead can you give me any update on Taylor Adams."

"Are you family?" What were we? friends?

"She has no one. We are the only ones she has left." Will nodded understanding what Kelly was saying.

"We believe she may of tried to commit suicide."

"What?"

"She had taken a handful of different pills not just painkillers. And since you found her in the bathtub fully clothed that tells me it was planned in someway. We had to pump her stomach. She is resting now."

"Is she going to make it?"

"Physically yes. Mentally we don't know yet. We won't till she wakes up."

"Can I see her?"

"Room 205. Kelly don't push her. We don't know where he head is at right now." I nodded and then made my way to her room. Ashley following close behind me.

We reach her door. I stop for a second and the. I slide it open. She no longer had the tube in her mouth because they got her breathing on her own. She had an IV going delivering meds and fluids. She also appeared to be hooked up to a heart monitor.

We both walk over and take a seat next to her bed. The steady beep of her monitor going. I couldn't help but to feel responsible for her laying in this hospital bed.

"I should of know."

I turn my head to look at Ashley. "No Ashley this isn't your fault. It's mine. She needed me after Victoria died but I was to angry at her for keeping her away from me."

"I'm her scrub nurse Kelly. I lived with her. I saw her every day. I should of seen that she was spiraling out. I knew she was taking painkillers but I thought she had it under control."

I place a hand on Ashley's back and move hand across it. "Shes going to be okay. Thankfully you asked me to go check on her because if you didn't she wouldn't be here at all."

We sat in silence waiting for Taylor to wake up. Praying she would wake up. I sent Ashley home after about 3 hours of waiting. With the promise I would call her the second she woke up. I had laid my head back to try and sleep the best I could in the chair that was next to her bed.

I must of dozed off before the next thing I remember is hearing someone crying. I sat up and saw that it was Taylor and she was awake.
"Tay?"

"I'm not suppose to be here." She started sobbing. "The pain was suppose to be over!" She curled into a ball turning away from me crying.

"Taylor it's all going to be okay."

"Kelly just leave!" I thought about it for a moment. Leaving her is what got us where we are now. She needs me more than ever now .
"Taylor I'm not going anywhere. I am staying right here with you."

"Why? You hate me remember?"

"Taylor I don't hate you. I was just hurting." I go and lay on her bed next to her. "Come here." She rolled over and curled into me and just started crying even more. I held her tight trying to comfort her. "Let it all out Taylor."
We laid there for quite a while and she just cried and I held her. She ended up crying herself to sleep. I dug out my phone and shot quick text off to Ashley letting her know she woke up but went back to sleep.

After I hit send on my phone and put it down. I finally was able to relax and fell asleep holding Taylor. Just trying to be happy that she was okay.
