Getting back to "Normal" | Rhekker

Chapter 69- My hand was the one you reached for

"Ava"

Connor stoped fighting her and dropped the sheers from his hand hand his, face blank with shock.
"Ava-" he wanted to say more but his voice broke.
When Will heard Connor say Ava's name he immediately looked to her face recognising her instantly, even with her hair being darker.
"Connor you're can't be here" Will moved to the other side of the bed and put a hand on his shoulder. He didn't understand how Ava wound up in his treatment bay but there was time to figure that out later.
"No" Connor shrugged him off, wanting to be closer to Ava.
"Connor, your too close to this!" He pushed his chest getting him out of the room. Ava squirmed on the bed, straining her weak neck try get a better look at him. The curtain suddenly screeched shut, blocking Connors view of her.

Ava

Ava was right there, is right there, behind that curtain.

Connor leaned his head back against the wall next to the door, he couldn't see or here Ava but knowing she was close was enough.

"Hi Ava, do you know here you are" Will asked calmly, lifting her mask slightly.
"Hos-Pi-tal " Ava wheezed before Will replaced her mask.
"No" Ava pulled her mask back off. "You- you need to- call- Jay"
"Jay? Jay my brother" Will looked down to her confused.
Ava nodded against her pillow and coughed.
"Okey, I'll get someone to call him"

"Can you squeeze my fingers he placed two of his fingers in each hand" Will focused to treating Ava , ignoring her strange request,
Ava closed her eyes and tried with all her might to squeeze as hard as she could.
"Good, do you have any pain anywhere?" He asked and Ava shook her head timidly.
Will check her pupils, back of her head, and heart.
"Okey, is like to do a full check up but before that I want get you change into a hospital gown, you can't stay in wet clothes"
Ava nodded, feeling dizzy from the sudden quality of air.

Will got a hospital gown and helped her sit up. He had one hand on her back and one on her sid, Ava winced as she reached an upright position.
"That's not good" Will muttered as he laid her back down.
"I'm going to do a chest x-ray and ultrasound" he announced, laying her back down. Will did the scan and projected onto the board. Ava craned her neck to see the black and white imagine.
Will quickly tallied the break, "3,4,5 broken ribs, that'll do it, thankfully their all on the same side. I'm sure you know but there's not much I can do for that" Will moved to help her sit up, leaning on her good side.
Will held to robe out, his eyes trained on the ceiling as Ava took of her soggy clothes. From the light snips he presumed she'd made use of the left behind shears. Ava's suddenly slipped are arms through the gown holes and will moved around the bed to tie the dress behind her back.

"Lay back down for me" he helped her back.
Will check her lungs, eyes, legs, arms.
"Dose this hurt?" Will flexed her wrist and Ava winced in pain.
"Okey so your wrist is sprained, I'll split it for you"
"I hadn't noticed that" Ava told him, she'd clocked all her other injuries but put the pain in her wrist down to sleeping strange.
"You want blue or green?" He smiled, holding up the two options.
"Blue" Ava smiled weakly.
Will sat her up and put her wrist in a quick split, holding onto her arm longer then need.
"I'll get you something for the pain"
"I'm glad to see your back Ava, even if I don't know where you went"
"Call Jay" she breathed, nursing her broken ribs.
Will nodded, still trying to make out what had happened.
"I'll do that for you now, a nurse will be down to insert an IV once someone's free"
Will sat up from his stool but Ava caught his wrist, "Thank you"
Will nodded shortly, rushing off to call his brother to the scene.

"Hey, yeah you got to get over here. Ava's just been brought in with a load of other women, she's asking for you she's not in good shape. Get down here now"
