———————–Rachel———————

Within 15 minutes of Alice calling I heard the sirens of the fire truck. We explained what had happened and I could tell that they found it all highly amusing. They did however get Andy down as soon as they could, as they seemed to sense her growing discomfort and distress. The thing was in all the excitement we seemed to have forgotten that we were under a time pressure here. I was holding Andy’s hand as a medic tended to her sore legs. She had cuts on her calves from the initial slip and on her shins from when she had flipped and jammed her legs along with severe bruising of her knees.

Just as they had finished dressing the wounds and advising us that apart from some soreness and stiffness in her knees Andy had been lucky, I heard them coming. As they came through the house into the yard led by Kit Andy flipped off the side of the trolley she was sat on and attempted to hide before they saw her. Unfortunately her legs were a little uncooperative due to the previous lack of blood flow and stumbled. As she tried to right herself she fell backwards hitting the back of her head on the corner of the trolley on the way down.

I knelt down to help her up before I realised she had managed to knock herself clean out. As I stood aside for the paramedic I turned to be confronted with some very angry looking friends and considered that maybe she was better off.

I couldn’t help but laugh as I saw her fall it was all so comical. Then I realised that she had hurt herself and that a very scary looking group of women were about to lay into Rachel. As Andy was lifted back onto a stretcher by medics I quickly planted myself between her Rachel and Alice and the rest of the girls.

“Kit, I know you are pissed off right now but I think that it is not the time to let rip, the most important thing is that we get Andy to the hospital to be checked out and make sure she is going to be ok for the upcoming festivities.”
