Disclaimer: I do not own ER, Grey's Anatomy, or any of they're characters. If I did, I sure wouldn't be writing fanfiction.
AN: Okay, here's the deal. It's set in ER's Season 12, right after It's All About Christmas Eve. Gallant never came back from the army so he never married Neela. This is a crossover with ER and Grey's Anatomy.
Starting Over/Becoming An Intern Again
Good luck.
Those were the last words I heard from my colleagues. My friends. These last couple of weeks really got me thinking. Watching Dr. Dubenko first got me into surgery. Then taking that elective had me wanting it more than anything. That's how I wound up here. In a rental car on my way to Seattle Grace Hospital.
I had decided to take an internship there. County just wasn't cutting it anymore. All my friends were there, like Abby and Ray, but since Michael was gone I didn't feel like there was any reason for me to stay. Aside from that, many people had told me that I didn't belong in emergency medicine. I felt a stray tear escape my eyes thinking about what I was leaving behind.
Abby was the last person I spoke to before I left. She said she had something important to tell me. She wrote a letter and told me not to open it until I got on the plane. I still hadn't opened it yet. I knew I would end up crying and I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of a plane full of people.
A second letter I had was information on my new job. I had received it about two weeks before my first day. It stated that my new resident would be Dr. Miranda Bailey. She didn't sound so bad. Since I would be starting late I felt like the new kid on the block. I mean, at county I was an R2. I felt like I might know a little more than the interns at Seattle Grace.
I stopped thinking about everything when I reached the hospital. I hadn't planned enough time to get to my new flat to unpack so everything would have to wait in the car until my first shift ended. I stepped out of the car, both of my important letters in one hand and my stethoscope in the other.
"Here goes nothing," I said out loud to myself as I headed up to the front door.
