Jerrie Thirlwards - One shots

Fight Me

Jade was not happy. She was still not sure exactly what had happened. All she remembered was seeing a car driving the wrong way and pain. She groggily opened her eyes and stretched as much as the hospital bed and IVs would allow. Her entire body was pulsing with pain, especially her chest when she tried to breathe. Once she finally regained some of her breath, she looked around the disturbingly clean room, taking note of the TV across the room and the monitor next to her, as well as a table with her personal belongings. She also realized that she was propped up by what could only be described as a mountain of pillows. Just as she was reaching for her phone, she heard someone enter the room.

Jade didn't know what she expected to see when she looked up, but an incredibly attractive female nurse was not definitely it. Her hair was dirty blonde, and her pale skin was covered in freckles. She held a clipboard, most likely with the information about the people on her rotation. Jade squeaked, knowing that she was most likely covered in bruises and her hair was undoubtedly a mess. The nurse looked up at the noise, and Jade had to stop herself from gasping. The nurse had the bluest eyes she had ever seen.

Her smile was crooked and incredibly charming as she approached her. "Ms. Thirlwall, it's good to see you're awake. I'm one of your nurses, Perrie Edwards. What's the last thing you remember?" She asked, taking her stethoscope from around her neck. Take a deep breath, please," she pressed the stethoscope to her chest and Jade desperately hoped that her heart wasn't beating too loudly. Calm down, she told herself. You've never gotten so worked up over some woman you've just met. Just answer her question.

"I remember seeing some idiot driving the wrong way down the street, and that's about it," she recalled, as Perrie moved her stethoscope away from Jade's chest, and went to take her blood pressure. "After that, it's all just a blur of pain."

"That's understandable. You were hit by the wrong way driver, who was drunk. You sustained more damage from the airbag than you did from the accident itself. However, the airbag did cause your ribs to puncture your left lung. You were lucky, it could have been a lot worse. You will be here for a while, while you recover," Perrie explained as she continued taking her vitals and writing everything down.

Once she was finished with her vitals and checking the bandages, Jade asked, "Would you mind passing me my belongings? I should call my parents."

She smiled and nodded in understanding, and brought the table over. "That would be a good idea. We let them know when you got here, but from what I understand, they are out of the country."

"Yes, they're in the US, for a convention. They'll be worried. How long have I been here?" Jade asked as she grabbed her phone from her bag.

"I didn't tell you?" Perrie asked, cheeks turning red when she realized her slip. Jade shook her head, and pressed her lips together in amusement. "Ah, uh, about a day and a half. We had to put you under for surgery. Sorry, I thought I told you," she murmured, looking down and lifting her hand to scratch her neck.

Jade smiled. Perrie was quite cute when she was embarrassed. "It's quite alright," she said as she looked at her phone. Thankfully, she'd finished her case before this. She didn't even want to think about the headache that she would have if she had fallen behind then. As she went to call her mam, she saw Perrie go to leave the room. "Thank you," she called out, hoping that this wouldn't be the last she saw of her, and that next time she looked a little better.

"Don't worry about it," she said, still a faint trace of red on her cheeks. "It's my job."
