I just had to make another story based on Lithan! WHY DO I GET SO EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO SHOWS AND MOVIES NOW? Literally, I spent a month obsessing over Hunger Games then Joshifer so now I am obsessing over Lithan! Can we have some Lithan love in here? Anyway, to set the scene, this is based around the past few weeks episodes and Lily is still upset with Ethan after he ditched her for a date with Honey. And I think we all noticed those glares and brush offs that Lily has been giving Ethan ;)
Anyway, onto the story.
Lily walked out of Holby City, pulling her cardigan tighter around her body. The weather hadn't been too good lately now that it was Autumn. Sighing she looked up at the sky at the grey clouds forming. It was definitely going to rain tonight.
"Hey, Lily! Wait up."
She groaned inwardly and turned to face Ethan Hardy with a small smile on his face. "What?" She hadn't meant to come across as mean but she had really need to get home quickly if she was going to beat the rain.
"I was wondering if you want a lift?"
"Why don't you go and ask your little girlfriend and leave me alone, okay?"
With that she walked off, not giving a second glance at her 'friend'. She wondered why she had to walk to work today but then she remembered that her moped was not working and rolled her eyes, feeling the first few spits of rain land on her face.
"Damn." she mumbled, walking a bit faster. She also wished she had brought her trainers with her since her heels were now killing her soles. "Sod this." She stopped, taking her shoes off and putting them in her bag. "Not ruining Guess heels for nothing." she muttered.
Fifteen minutes of fast paced walking, Lily was somewhat closer to her flat. Ten more minutes Lily, she thought to herself as she passed the local park. It looked eerily creepy at this time of day. She could physically feel the sky darkening above her and wished that she could walk faster in her bare feet but the stones and rocks beneath her feet made it painful to walk. Maybe the shoes were a better option.
She stopped when she heard something. "H-Hello?" she called out, turning around. There seemed to be nobody there. She rolled her eyes at her slight moment of weakness and turned back around, continuing her way. "Probably a fox or something." she assured herself.
But it wasn't.
"Has anyone seen Dr. Chao?" Connie asked, walking through the ED. It was unlike the young doctor to be late to work or better yet, sick.
"Haven't seen her since yesterday night." Ethan replied, taking his eyes away from his patient's notes.
Connie sighed. "Were you the last to see her?"
"I guess." Ethan shrugged. "She walked home when she rejected my offer to give her a lift."
"Okay. Well, when she does come in, send her to my office please." Receiving a nod, she left to deal with a patient.
Ethan took this as an opportunity to go to the staff room to retrieve his phone. He opened his locker and dug through his bag, finding his phone.
He scrolled through his contacts and reached L, Lily's name the first of the section. He pressed 'call' and waited for her to pick up, drumming his fingers impatiently against his locker door.
"You've reached Lily Chao. Call back later or leave a message and I might get back to you."
He called her again.
"You've reached Lily Chao. Call back later or leave a message and I might get back to you."
He sighed, ending the call.
"You okay there?"
"Uh, yeah. Just calling Lily to see where she is." Ethan replied to Cal.
Cal opened his locker. "Probably running late on that stupid bike of hers."
"Yeah. You're probably right and I should really get back to work unless I want Mrs Beauchamp to eat me."
Cal grinned. "See ya." he called out as he watched his brother leave.
Lily's breath shook as she tried to reach her her buzzing phone. She could see Ethan's smiling face from the corner of her eye as she tried to grab her phone.
She gave up after the second ring. She felt her stomach as blood seeped through her fingers. She could feel her heart rate quicken as she tried not to think about all the times she found herself in a life-threatening situation. She tried not to cry as she called for help.
"Help! H-Help me, please! Anyone there?"
She felt herself slip into unconsciousness as the dark sky grew brighter and brighter until it was dawn.
...
"I really hate these morning jogs, you know." A male told his wife who only giggled back at him.
"We need to be fit!" she replied, jogging backwards to watch her lazy husband struggle to keep his pace. "More like, you need to be fit, honey."
"But I can go to the gym. We don't have to be those couples who do everything together.
"I thought that we were still in the honeymoon-"
She tripped against something.
"Babe... J-Just keep looking at me." Her husband said, walking slowly up to his wife.
"W-Why?" she asked, suddenly feeling scared. She turned and gasped when she saw a female lying on the branches and grass. "Oh my God! We have to help her!"
Her husband quickly knelt beside the injured female and checked her pulse. "She's still breathing." he said, looking around. "Call the ambulance!" he ordered his frightened wife who dug into her pockets to get her phone shakily. "Hello? Can you hear me?"
The woman opened her eyes and weakly pointed to her stomach. "She's been stabbed." His wife stated. "Hi, yeah, she's been stabbed." she told the ambulance line.
"Pressure on the wound." The man mumbled, taking his jacket off to press on the wound. "Can you tell me your name?"
"Li-Lily." Lily gasped out.
"Hello, Lily. That's a very beautiful name. My name is Ron, okay? And that's Freya."
Lily faintly nodded, closing her eyes.
"No, no. Lily, can you keep your eyes open for me?" He smiled when she opened her eyes again. "I know I'm a sight for sore eyes but keep your beautiful eyes open, okay?" He was lucky to receive a slight twitch of smile.
Something beside her buzzed and Ron's wife stood up, grabbing the phone. "Is this your phone?" Freya asked.
"An-answer it, please." Lily whispered.
Freya nodded and pressed the green button, placing the phone on her other ear. "Hello, Lily's phone."
"Who is this?" Ethan asked, fear etched in his voice.
"I-I, my husband and I found Lily stabbed in the park-"
"Is she okay?! Uh, which park is it? I'm on my way-"
"Don't worry, the ambulance is on their way."
"I'm a doctor. Tell Lily, I'll be there."
"I will." Freya whispered, cancelling the call. "Seems like it was your boyfriend, honey."
Lily didn't have the strength to deny her assumption as she felt her eyelids become heavy. "Lily?" Ron called. "Lily, can you hear me?" he shook her but she had already slipped into the darkness.
"Connie!" Ethan called out, jogging towards her. "It's Lily."
"'It's Lily', what? She's sick, late?"
Ethan shook his head, gulping. "She's been stabbed. I have to go with Dixie and Iain to get her."
Connie's eye widen as she sucked in a breath. "Okay. I'll... I will go prepare a room in resus." She tried not to let her voice waver as she watched Ethan dash off before she could finish talking.
"Why's Ethan going crazy?" Robyn joked, walking past her.
Connie stopped her before leaning close. "Lily has been stabbed. We don't know the extent of her injury yet but..."
"Don't worry," Robyn assured her. "I've got it."
All they could do was wait for her.
...
Ethan hopped out of the ambulance and rushed towards Lily. "How long as she been unconscious for?"
Freya thought about it whilst gripping her phone tightly. "I don't know, 15 minutes?"
"13 to be precise," Ron corrected, backing away from Lily as Iain and Dixie joined Ethan.
"Okay, when did you find her?"
"Twenty minutes or so ago. She was awake." Ron said.
Ethan tried his hardest to stay professional as he gripped Lily's cold hand. "Hey, Lily. It's me, Ethan. Can you hear me?" He tried not to cry when she didn't respond or grip his hand back.
"She's losing a lot of blood, Ethan. If we don't move now, she could die." Iain said gently.
Ethan backed off and watched his colleagues tend to Lily. He turned around and faced the couple who stood unsure of what to do.
"Thank you." he mumbled to them before joining Iain in the back of the ambulance.
"I pray to God that she makes it." Freya whispered.
