At first I felt something hard and hot, it was metal, I could tell by the sound it made when it hit me, then I felt the hard cold floor hit me on the other side of my body. I couldn’t see, I could hear, but only see blackness, I couldn’t open my eyes. 

I heard a car door and many feet run towards me. 

“Vicky, Vicky, can you hear me” It was Mr. Berrisfud, he was rushing his words and held my neck so my head wasn’t on the floor. 

All I could think to do is moan, I couldn’t think of any logical words.  “Vicky, this is Mr. Berrisfud. Can you open your eyes” I couldn’t understand, I couldn’t think properly. I tried to work out what he said and got it.

I very slowly opened my eyes and there was only light, slowly other things came into view. I saw Mr. Berrisfud. 

“Hi, Vicky, were hurts?” 

I don’t know, I can’t feel anything and in some ways, I am happy about it. 

More and more feet ran towards me.

“Has someone phoned a Ambulance” I couldn’t hear any over voices than Mr. Berisford’s. “Well, get one then” I put my hand up to his face. I felt the pain then, it didn’t stop me. I don’t know what I’m doing, I just want to touch his face. 

I stroked his cheek, felt around to his forehead, and down his nose  to his lips and lowered my hand again.

“Vicky, we are getting a Ambulance okay, they wont be long” 

“Vicky?” I recognised the voice, a new none voice. I Saw another face and it was the same height as Mr. Berisford’s, they must have been leaning down, because they are so much taller than that. It was Pete. “What happened?”

“She was hit by a car” I don’t think Mr. Berrisfud was thinking properly either. He was talking slow and carefully. 

Richie ran behind Pete, “Rich, phone Ryan, tell him to get here” Pete was talking to him. 

I heard the sirens and cried, I was so confused all the sounds and noise was hurting my head. The paramedics came down to me and put a mask on my face, this really scared me. I didn’t understand anything going on. I started shuffling to stop them touching me and more hands held me. They were holding me down, I tried to shout for them to get off, but all that came out was screams. I turned my head stopping them touching my face and saw Ryan looking around a corner, first to the left, then to the right, he saw the crowd and ran towards us. I relaxed just at the sight of him. I looked to the side and noticed Mr. Berrisfud had my hand the whole time. I wanted him to come with me, he was there. 

“Vicky, is she okay, is she going to be okay?” I saw Ryan and he was talking to the Paramedic. They got me on the trolley and put me in the Ambulance, Mr. Berrisfud got in with me. Ryan tried to get in, but the Paramedic held him back. “No, son, you have to wait here” 

“No” I said holding my hand out towards him. 

“Okay, get in” The paramedic let go of Ryan’s arm and allowed him in. 

The ambulance started rocking and then I started to feel the pain, it was everywhere. 

“Vicky we are nearly at the hospital okay, you are going to be alright” All paramedics say that, how does he know, he doesn’t know what I am feeling. 

I felt the Ambulance slow down and eventually stop, they opened the door and it was bright, it hurt my eyes and my head. They wheeled me out and rushed me in the hospital, which means they were worried, have these people never seen ‘holby city’ they always rush in when they thinks something’s wrong.
