Saving Andy

Sam's POV

BANG

I heard the gunshot right after I yelled for Andy to get down. I run over to her to make sure she's okay only to find a pool of blood under her.

"Andy stay with me keep your eyes open!" I yell while taking off my jacket to put on her wound. She's almost unconscious and losing a lot of blood.

"This is 1501, shots fired! Officer down! I repeat officer down! We're at the Square, behind a monument! I need a bus!!" I yelled through the radio.

"We're on our way Sam!" I heard Oliver yell through the radio. I didn't reply because I was too busy trying to pry Andy's vest off of her.

After about 10 minutes the ambulance arrived. They load her in the ambulance and I hop in before it leaves. I can't leave her, I said to myself, not now not ever.

..............................................................................

By the time we reach the hospital, Andy's unconscious. The doctors meet us at the door and they rush her into surgery.

I sit down on a chair outside the surgery room door. Now there isn't anything left to do but play the waiting game and pray that she'll come through. She has to come through, I say to myself, I don't think I can live without her. About 45 minutes later, half the station walks through the door. including Sergeant Best, Detective Jerry and Callaghan, and the rest of the rookies.

"How is she?" asks Luke.

"I don't know. She's been in surgery almost 2 hours now, its too early to tell." I tell him.

"Did anyone take your statement?" He asks.

"No, not yet. I'm not leaving until I make sure she's okay." I say.

"Sam please tell me she's okay!" Says Traci as she runs up to me with tear in her eyes.

" I don't know anything yet, but she lost a lot of blood." I tell her.

....................................................................

It's another four hours before the doctor comes out asking for Andy's family.

"We're still trying to locate her dad, is she okay?" I ask.

"Who are you to her?" Asks the doctor.

"I'm her partner I came in with her. Please tell me she's okay."

"Well the bullet made extensive damage. It went through her right lung, causing it to collapse and nicked her heart muscle. We repaired the lung and the muscle but she lost a lot of blood. Next 24 hours are critical."

"Can I see her? I know ICU is for family only but please I need to see her. I'm her partner." I tell him.

"Okay but not for long, she needs to rest. I'll take you to her room."

.......................................................................

I walk in to Andy's room and what I see scares me a little. She's almost as pale as the

crisp white sheets surrounding her. Her forehead is beaded with sweat and she has multiple IV's in her arms. I look to my right and find her heart monitor, it's beeping telling me that her heartbeat is steady.

I sit on the chair beside her, hold her hand, and feel tears in my eyes. I was supposed to protect her. I was supposed to make sure be both got to the stations locker rooms after shift safely. This was all my fault.

As if she knew what I was thinking she started to squeeze my hand.

"Andy?" I ask. No reply.

"Andy!"

She so quiet it comes out like a whisper.

"Sam...."

"I love you"

Then her heart monitor starts going crazy and the doctors and nurses arrive with a crash cart. The last thing I see is Andy's heart monitor with a straight line going across and an ear shattering beep.

Sorry it wasn't very long. Summer vacation started today so hopefully I'll be able to post some more chapters soon.
