Hi everyone! (:
So I really did it – this is my very first story and I am quite excited to see how you like it.
I have to say that I am not a native English speaker and even if I did pretty well in school I know there will be mistakes I make grammar- and spelling-wise. Hope you can forgive me these! :P

As you may know, I don't any of the characters used in this story, as Shonda Rhimes was faster in her conception of Grey's Anatomy than I could ever be! Sadly…

Here goes nothing!


You came thoughtfully

Loved me faithfully

You taught me honor

You did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good

You will wait for me, my love

- Sia (My Love)

PROLOGUE

A flat line. Big green-brown eyes were fixed on this line. A fast beating heart in her own chest while another heart seemed to have stopped. She couldn't hear thing but the long beeping sound, she couldn't feel a thing but the strong and fast beat of her own heart.

Suddenly there were hands on her shoulders.

"April…", a voice said close to her right.

"April!", the voice repeated louder and closer to her ear.

She couldn't tear her gaze away from the still body that lay on the bed her eyes were now fixed upon. There were hands everywhere. Someone was ventilating him when the other one stopped the compressions on his chest. But her eyes wouldn't leave his face. Her feet seemed rooted to the ground. She just couldn't move, couldn't leave him alone. If these were the last minutes of his life… No! She could not think this way. It wouldn't be his last moments on earth – he was too young, hadn't seen enough of the world. She would not let him of the hook like this. There were things they had to resolve, clear the air, stuff like that…

In her mind there always was a smile on his handsome face, always some kind of sparkle in his eyes. A light in him she could not nearly describe even if she tried to. To think of him again… To see him again… Overwhelming.

Never in a million years had she thought she would have to see him like this. But who would? No one she knew would ever think of a loved one in a situation like this. Situations like these always came suddenly. As a doctor she saw lots of grieving families, lots of tears on a strangers face who didn't think their child would have to go before them. There was this unfathomable feeling in her chest… Only now she could really understand the people walking the halls of this hospital waiting for news concerning their relative or friend.

"April come on!", that was Lexie pulling on her arm, trying to get her out of the room.

The shocked eyes of the red-haired woman met Lexie's sad ones. She knew about their history. Women talked about things like that, especially best friends. But even as her best friend she couldn't get April to budge.

"DOCTOR KEPNER!", a loud voice boomed suddenly. It was Dr. Hunt. April's eyes now fixated on the red-haired man's who looked at her determinedly.

"Get out of here. NOW!", he emphasised the last word so much she startled.

He was her mentor. Owen Hunt was a good mentor. He was a good man and April looked up to him. He just knew so much about Trauma, how to treat patients the right way and she knew that he would really do everything he was capable of to save his life.

One last time she let her eyes wander to the closed ones of the man reclined on the bed. She took a shaky breath, turned around and fled the room.

Please, please let him be okay!, she begged silently as her feet carried her along the hallways of Seattle Grace Mercy West.


That's it for now (; .

I would love for you to leave a review with what you think about this story!

Love
