Ambulance Officer P.O.V

"Hi I'm Amber, someone call for an ambulance?" I call out as my partner and long time friend Matt steps out next to me. He's holding the stretcher and I look around at the range of pub and bars nearby. But the sigh that I'm about to express is halted by a man dressed in all black supporting a tattooed woman, he holds up his arm and then stands. Matt rushes to assist him so he doesn't drop the woman who appears to be severely intoxicated. "Geez Matt, she's out. I'll get the oxygen machine." He nods and settles the woman on her side in the recovery position. By the time I get back a few minutes later, he has her breathing on her own, but I still stick the nasal oxygen tube on her. She's definatly going to have a massive headache tomorrow. Hopefully she doesn't get alcohol poisoning. We start and IV line to get fluids into her and within twenty minutes she's starting to respond to noises and her heartbeat returns to normal after soaring for a few minutes. We load her into the back of the ambulance. I climb into drive and Matt and I look at each other and we both say, ' Nashville General...'

Karlie's P.O.V

The night has been exactly what I expected it to be, slow. I've had enough time to eat my night time snack of a protein bar and a shake that I made at home and brought with me, it's full of fruits and a little protein powder and will keep me charged until I finish at 6.00am. It's currently 2.57am and I'm counting down the time until I can go home and hang out with Riley once I've slept. That all changes at 3.02am when an ambulance rolls into the bay, "bus is here," the charge nurse Barbara calls out as Dr Jones comes forward and calls out, "Kloss, with me." I nod and snap on some gloves as the patient is rolled in. She smells awful and I know instantly that it's something regarding alcohol. I sigh but suck it up and listen as Amber and Matt do handoff to us and we roll her into treatment four.

Dr Jones, tells me to monitor her vitals and that he will order the relevant tests and until they are done I am told to sit and monitor her. I nod and he rushes off to deal with another patient who just came in. I decide to give her a bit of a wipe down, she has drawings all down her arm. They are bright and colourful and full of creativity but it makes finding veins hard so I want to make things easier on the doctors. But as I start to wipe her arms, the markings stay there so I rub harder. Then a raspy voice startles me, "I thought that too about some of them the day after," I look down at the patient and she's smiling slightly and looking at me through hooded eyes. "Don't worry, I'm fine. You can let me go now." I let her arm go and it drops, she winces and I wince as a result of her wincing, I already know that I'm weird. "Sorry, I'll just go and grab the doctor and he can talk to you." I state backing out of the room. I call over Barbara who informs me Dr Jones is currently busy and that I'll have to go back and chat to the patient and try to get her name and details out of her. I nod and hurry back.  "So I guess we're stuck together for a little longer, hope you don't mind." I state sitting back down and looking at the patient. She huffs her shoulders as if she doesn't care so I settle down. Then she says, "aren't you curious to know who I am?" I look at her and raise my eyebrows.
"What do you mean?" she points towards the door where the name of the patient isn't filled in. I nod and say, "well yeah I mean we need to know your name and such but I wasn't going to pressure you." She only smiles and says,
"Well I can't have your beautiful self looking at me all night and not knowing me. I'm Taylor, Taylor Swift." She/Taylor states holding out her hand which I shake and say, "Karlie. I don't think I'm allowed to tell you my last name but yeah, Karlie is my name." Taylor settles back and says my name quietly, I still catch it and it sounds adorable from her lips. 'Wait what did I just say?'

Taylor's P.O.V

Being stuck in this hospital isn't so bad when I have a cute nurse with me. She's so adorable and cute and her name is Karlie. I start thinking about my career and how I've got to find a new job. She is constantly watching me and from the clock that I can see in my room I see that it's nearly 5.25am. She keeps looking at my tattoos, it makes me smile. I love them and she has already told me she thinks that they are cool so I start to think of witty pickup lines. Without warning a tune hits my head and so I start to sing it outloud. "I've got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name..." Karlie instantly looks up at me and I says, "What I would, I'd write your name on my skin, no hesitation." This only makes Karlie blush and start talking about work and getting the doctor in soon.

I feel heaps better and I can't wait to be out of the hospital but at the same time, I'll miss chatting with Karlie. I'm serious about getting her name tattooed on me, she's changed my life. Impacted me in some way, shape and form. So of course like all of my other tattoos I will get her name put somewhere, maybe on my forearm so I can look at it all the time. I know that it's too soon to talk love, but something draws me to her and if it's not love, I don't know what it could be but I'd be down to experiment.
