Bondi And Us *Complete*

*18*

Abby's POV

"Mass rescue!" I shout to Hutz and grab my board, racing into the water and start paddling. 

When I get to the spot where about 7 people are struggling I first take hold onto a young teen, she's having a hard time climbing onto the board with the tides bashing into us, I try grabbing her forearm but I'm taken off guard and flipping off the board by a large tide. Shit! 

I flip the board over and quickly help the girl I was with before, pushing her up onto the board. I look around me for a nearby swimmer and see a man, quickly paddling over to him. I help him onto the board as well. Ignoring the pain in my shoulder... urgently needing medical assistance, I make it a priority to get these two to back to the shoreline. 

I turn the board towards the beach and look behind me for a upcoming wave to ride, it comes over and we make a swift trip on it to the shoreline, Hutz is there waiting for us and helps the two people off the board. I make sure they're cared for and turn back around to see if I'm needed anymore. 

There's one woman that's not being taken in so I paddle the short distance over to her, she's easier to put onto the board, I sit up behind her and look around me for heads under or above the water... nothing. I take the woman back to the shoreline and tip the board over.

"You alright?" I ask her. 

"Sure, thanks a lot.." 

"No problem." I smile. 

"Good job, Abs." Hutz says, after looking over some people. 

The rescues are over for the time being and I take the chance to assess the shoulder situation... just as I thought, dammit... not today. 

"I think I've dislocated the shoulder out there." I mutter to Hutz.

He frowns and walks over to check it out. "Definitely dislocated, go up to the tower and call a ambulance, ye?" 

"You're okay out here?" I ask.

"Sure I am!" He chuckles. "Can't have you doing rescues with a injury, Abby." 

"Thanks, Hutz." I kiss his cheek and walk to the tower, it's not too long for me as we're stationed in front of it by the water. 

I climb the ladder up and into the tower, there Jesse, Azza and Maxi are looking out at the ocean and joking around.

"Abs, hey." Jesse waves.

"Hey guys." 

"Hey.." Maxi kisses my cheek softly and frowns. "You're candling your arm." He nods to my arm.

"I dislocated it while a rescue out there." I wince as I move it slightly. 

"Jesse, call the ambulance." Maxi sits me down on the medical bed in the back and helps me get comfortable. "Do you want me to try to pop it back in?" He asks me. 

"I'd rather wait." I groan, the adrenaline has stopped working on me and it's becoming the most painful thing for me to bare at the moment, me and pain don't mix. 

"Abby, you're in pain.. for god's sake let me take care of it." Maxi says and looks over my arm. 

"Give me the green whistle and I'll be just fine." I say. 

He shakes his head at me and gives it to me, I breathe in a bit of it till I've had enough and put it away, by then two paramedics have entered the tower.

"I could pop in the shoulder." One says. "If you're in for that?" 

"Yeah, I'm in."

With a lot of pain, the paramedic pop's in my shoulder and in relief I calm down while he wraps it up carefully. He wants me to go check it at the medical center so I grab my things with my free hand.

"I'll come pick up you at the medical center after my shift." Maxi says.

"How long's your shift?" 

"I finish in a hour." 

I smile. "I'm going to definitely be done by then, see you later." 

He softly pecks my lips. "See you later." 

I get into the ambulance and start the adventure to the hospital... the luck of a lifeguard, right?
