Everyone stepped out and I just sat on the steps watching as the paramedics rushed over to the scene. One of the officers came over to me and asked if I was okay. I'm fine, no scratches or wounds of any kind. I was left untouched but Kelly and Prayer... Tears rolled down my face.
My breathing hitched as I struggled to speak. "C-can you check on my friends?" He looked at me with furrowed brows as if I was crazy or said something wrong. I couldn't understand why until he called a paramedic over who then proceeded to open a first-aid kit. I'm hurt? I thought.
It was then that I felt a warm trickle down the side of my face. The EMT pulled out a gauze and whatever else but I stood up and walked away. The officer stopped me. "Hey look let the EMT help you and I will go check on your friends. Why don't you come with us to the truck?
Tell me about your friends along the way. I'll personally check on them myself. " I thought about it for a moment and honestly was starting to feel weak so I did what he said. "Both of my best friends were thrown by the bear. One is short, maybe 5,3 she has gray eyes, dark blue hair and she's wearing a jean outfit with pink-ish boots.
My other best friend, Kelly, has brown eyes, and black hair, she's wearing a red top, brown cargo pants, red and white shoes, and a white hoodie" I said it kinda fast and he had me repeat it before walking away. The EMTs began to wipe my face and ear and that's when I realized what I felt before was blood.
When did I get hurt? "I got a pulse!" someone yelled out "Ok, get him in the truck!" "I got a pulse here too!" another yelled "Alright get him in the truck." What about the others?" one of them asked. Two of the trucks pulled off. "I got a pulse!" another shouted. "Alright get her in."
"There's no pulse here." another yelled. "I got a young adult female who's not breathing." My heart nearly stopped when I heard this. Who's not breathing? "prepare the AED"- (Automated External Defibrillator). "Try to bring her back."
"Ready!"
"Clear!"...
"No response!" one of the female Paramedics yelled.
"Ready!"
"Clear!"...
"Still nothing!" she yelled again.
"Ready!"
"Clear!"...
