If I Stay Page #2

No. Exactly.

She's not doing it

to get anything.

Shes just doing it

out of pure...

We made that.

The next day, Dad

came home with a present.

A cello of my very own.

Isn't it amazing how fife

is one thing and then,

in an instant,

ii becomes something else?

Like here I am, Mia.

The girl who thinks

about the cello and Adam

and whether a letter

is waiting for me at home.

And just like that...

Get some cribbing

in there. Support those columns.

We need a full

spinal immobilization.

Hello?

Our resources

are good right now.

Excuse me!

Sir, excuse me?

Hello?

Mom.

Teddy!

Dad!

We have foreshortening

in this left leg.

EMT 22 Yeah.

Do you wanna get

a tube in her now?

Just grab

the Ambu bag for now.

No!

Wake up!

Wake up.

Wake up.

Go, one, two, three.

Let's move. Her

Glasgow Coma's at a seven.

Tell Portland lo have

a trauma team ready.

Glasgow Coma? Why do

you need a trauma team?

One female, late teens, critical,

en route lo Portland now.

One 8-year-old male,

conscious.

MIA; Mom! Dad!

Teddy!

Let's go, Demetri.

Hang in there, baby.

We'll be in Portland soon.

You okay?

No.

You wanna hit up

my closet?

Your closefs terrifying.

I don't even wanna go.

Come on,

he's just a guy, Mia.

Yeah, but he's the first guy I've

ever gone on a maybe-date with

and I don't know whether

to wear date clothes or

casual clothes or...

Just wear, you know,

something you feel good in.

And if this Adam dude doesn't

see how amazing you are,

then he's a total.

Shithead.

Yeah.

Oh, I think

I'm gonna puke.

Better before than during.

You must be Adam.

Uh, yeah. I am, yeah.

Nice threads.

Come on in.

I'm the old man, Denny.

I know. You were in

Nasty Bruises, right?

Oh, wow, you're

impressing me already.

Well, I have your CDs.

You're the one.

They make great coasters,

right? Come on.

Adam's here!

Is that Mia?

Yeah. That's our

little rock and roll.

She was Nasty Bruises'

original groupie.

Oh, no. Is he telling

you old war stories'?

Hey.

We should probably go.

'Kay.

'Kay, you kids be

careful out there.

I hear it gets pretty wild

at the symphony.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Bye.

Your parents seem

pretty cool.

So they tell me.

Seriously,

I respect any musician

who just leaves it all

on the stage like that.

She was awesome.

Thought you were a little

bored there in the beginning.

No. That snoring was

the lady next to me.

I loved every minute of it.

All right, Hall,

so what's your story?

How did parents like yours

end up having a kid like you'?

Well, I was certainly bred

to be a rocker. Mmm-hmm.

But I have this theory

that I was switched at birth.

Okay. That explains it.

No, but seriously.

I don't know, I've always

kind of felt like

this Martian in my family.

I don't look like

either of my parents.

My mom's this tough chick

and my dads all outgoing

and Iwent and chose

Beethoven and the cello.

When I was eight,

I saw this old video

of the Ramones playing

I Wanna Be Sedated.

And it felt like

my head exploded.

And I was like, "I have to

learn to play the guitar."

So, my uncle hooked me up

with this old Fender.

Yeah, that thing

saved my life.

You didn't really get those tickets

from a family friend, did you'?

That was two weeks

of pizza delivery tips.

Why?

Why me?

Because I like

to watch you play.

You go to another place.

And you're beautiful.

You get this crease in

your forehead right there.

Why do I have this feeling you're

about to mess up my entire life?

A little mess

never hurt anybody.

A week later, Adam

invited me to see his band play.

Liz, Mia. Mia, Liz.

Ah, I got to change the tube

on this amp. I'll see ya in there.

0K3'! -

One, two, three, four!

Whoo!

I wasn't Iookin' for something

To sink my teeth into

I didn't know what I wanted

I never do

I want what you have

I want what you have now

Give it to me

Do you make it look so good

'cause you know what's up?

Do you know exactly

what to do?

I want what you have

I want you have now

Give it to me

I want what you have

I want you have now

Give it to me

Thank you and good night.

So, what other bands

are you into?

Um...

Classical mostly.

Right on.

I love classic rock.

Mia!

Hey. Are you okay?

Kinda miscommunicating

with people.

The usual.

Yo, Adam. After-party

Yeah. Yeah,

You in?

I have my curfew.

Curfew?

Yo, Adam,

Come on.

We're cool, right?

You and me?

We're cool.

Hey, you finally got

to meet Liz.

Yeah.

You two have

a lot in common.

You ever, like,

Actually, I'm glad

you brought that up.

We do have

a lot in common.

For instance,

we're both

into girls.

She's with Astrid.

Oh, wow!

Go, Astrid.

And now we've got

that out of the way.

I'm bummed you can't

stay out with us tonight.

Yeah, I know.

Mia, just go. Have fun.

Mom? DENNY:
Kat! Get

away from the window.

Dad?

Sorry.

Like, your mom and dad are

cool with you staying out'

but you don't want to,

or...

Um...

Look, I think I'm coming

down with something.

Right.

Yeah, well, just give me a

shout when you get over it.

I'll see you around.

Hey, Adam.

Mom' get back inside.

We always do these

stragglers' dinners on Sunday.

You should

come by some time.

Thanks.

Maybe I'll check it out.

You know, that was wrong

on so many levels.

What? She shouldn't be scared

10 hang out with those guys.

They're us.

Exactly.

Okay, bring her out.

Behind.

No palpable

deformities at this time.

Go, go, go.

What do

we got here?

Collapsed lung,

broken ribs.

Looks like three.

Abrasions

to the legs, face.

Brain contusions,

full extent unknown.

And an internal bleed.

Rest of the family's

on the way in.

Ultrasound, X-ray, 12-chem,

type and cross-match.

Let's get the R down here, please.

On my count.

One, two, three.

Hey, excuse me, I need

to check on my family.

It's Kathleen Hall, Dennis

Hall and Theodore Hall?

Good to go.

Hello?

Hey' I was trying

to look at that.

Ruptured spleen,

we need to move'

We're taking Mia

Hall into operating room one.

DOCTOR 22 All right,

let's get her in there.

We got to remove the spleen,

drain the lung

and figure out

what's causing the bleed.

If she wants to live,

she better start fighting.

Start fighting? How am I

supposed to start fighting?

Someone just talk to

me, please! Just help me.

Okay,

let's go, folks.

Her sutures.

Arterial line set.

Okay,

let's get it cleaned up.

Your cut-down tray's

almost prepped.

Let's go, let's go.

Thank you.

NURSE 12 GCS still looks high.

Am I gonna die?

Is that what this is?

Here's the secret, baby.

You control

this whole thing.

If you live, if you die,

it's all up to you.

So, whatever fight you got in

you, you got to pull it out now.

Call the blood bank.

I need two units of O neg.
