Beverly Lights

46

Juliet felt like she couldn't breathe as she watched an ambulance and cop cars pull up while she and Olivia applied as much pressure to Spencers chest that they could to try to stop bleeding. The paramedics quickly jumped out with a gurney to tend to Spencer so they could load him up.

Olivia and Juliet were both pulled from their friends side as another ambulance arrived to the scene. A female police officer escorted Juliet and Kyle and to the second rig that pulled up and said, "She needs to get her head checked out." Juliet didn't even notice the trail of blood that was running down her face from a deep cut on her cheek.

"How is Spencer?" Juliet asked as she was sat down. No one replied. "Spencer? How is he?" She asked again. "Looks like they already got him loaded into the ambulance and are heading out." Kyle told her.

"He can't go alone. Liv needs to go with him."

"She is."

"Can you tell me your name?" The paramedic asked Juliet as he shone a small flashlight into her eyes. She winced at the bright light, squinting her eyes and pulling away from it. "Julietta Banks." She snapped at him.

"Where are you?"

"I need to go with Spencer." Juliet replied as she tried to stand to her feet.

"Your friend already left, so I think it's best you sit right there. You have a deep cut on your cheek and some contusions forming on your face. Where are you?"

"Beverly Hills."

"What happened?"

"Someone shot at us?"

"A shooting wouldn't cause these type of injuries. Were you physically attacked by chance?"

"No?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes? Why does any of this even matter right now?"

"I need to know how to treat you, ma'am."

Kyle could tell that Juliet was growing annoyed. She didn't want to answer the questions being asked. she wanted to make sure Spencer was okay. "That's probably from me, sir." He told the paramedic. "It could be from when she and I took cover."

The man shook his head and looked back to Juliet. "I'll throw some butterfly bandages on it for right now. But you'll need to get some stitches at the hospital."

"No, no hospital. Spencer needs me." She told him.

"You may also have a concussion."

"Do I seem confused to you? I'm perfectly coherent. I do not have a concussion. I just need to make sure my best friend is okay."

"Jules, we've told you twice now they have already left?" Kyle said concerned.

"But I-?" She looked up at Kyle then to the paramedic. He looked back at her and said, "Yes ma'am, you do seem confused to me. Michael." He called to the front of the cab, "we have a transport."

"No, it's fine. I don't need to be transported." Juliet claimed trying to stand up. As she did she got dizzy and felt herself start to stumble back down, Kyle and the paramedic had to catch her.
