Ok i hope you like this one...it just randomly came to me in a dream....idk how i remembered it but i did....which is rare. Ok hope you enjoy. Comments are always nice :D
Almost 2 years later. Almost 2 years later I did not expect to be where I stand now. Out side of Seattle Grace Hospital that is. I told myself over and over again that I would never go back. But of course work calls and I have to obey.
Standing outside the front doors of SGH I take a deep breath and step towards the building. Of course not even 5 steps ahead I hear an all too familiar voice.
"Good Morning Dr. Hahn." I turn towards the young doctor in front of me.
"Good Morning Yang."
"I heard you are here for surgery, mind if I scrub in Dr. Hahn?"
"Well Yang I'm sure you've matured over the last few years. So I guess it would be ok. OR 3 at 12"
"Yes Dr. Hahn, Thank you Dr. Hahn." I turn around and start for the door again when I hear Yang start to speak.
"You know she has really missed you, she is not the same without you here. Please don't make this hard for her this time. She really has missed you."
"I know Yang. I know." With that I walk into the front doors of Seattle Grace not knowing what to expect. I take another deep breath I walk into the lobby and spot the Chief.
"Good morning Richard."
"Ah, Dr. Hahn welcome back."
"Thank you Richard. So where is my patient?"
"Right this way." He leads me up to the third floor and into the patient's room. She is a young girl. Only looks like she might be 6-7 years old. One of the interns step forward to speak to me and they are literally shaking in there shoes.
When we are done I step out of the room and head down to the cafeteria to fill out and look over some charts. It is almost 11 meaning I have an hour to kill before surgery.
Around 11:15 a familiar red-head step my way. "Hey you" I lookup and give her a half smile.
"Hey Addison, what are you doing here?"
"What do you mean 'what am I doing here'? What are you doing here? I work here. Is this seat taken?" She motions towards the empty seat across from me.
"Uh, no take it. What do you mean work here? I though you loved LA?"
"I did, but it wasn't Seattle. Plus after you left Callie kind of went into this state of depression and really needed me here. So what are you doing here?" The second sentence hit me like a ton of bricks. Could that really be?
"I have a little girl here that needs heart surgery and her parents asked me to do it. So I am."
"Oh. Ok. So are you going to talk to her?"
"What do you mean? I don't even think she wants to see me?"
"Believe me she will once she knows you're here. You have to talk to her, you owe her that much."
"Wait she doesn't know?" Addison nodded her head. "So you're not going to tell her are you?" Addison waited a minute and sighed.
"That's up to you Erica. I can tell her if you want, or you can keep it a secret. But again this is Seattle Grace news here travels fast."
"Yeah," I gave a disappointed sigh and looked at my watch, "Oh its 11:45 I have surgery in 15minutes. See you later." I got up from my chair and rushed out of the cafeteria.
The surgery was longer than I expected. It was almost half way through it when I got the feeling to look up. Very bad idea, very, very bad idea. When I looked up into the viewing room I ended up locking eyes with her. Callie was sitting in the front row. She looked like she hadn't slept in months and she had lost a lot of weight. Her eyes weren't the same brown as they were when I last saw her. They were so much duller and lost the shine that she had in them. I knew Addison told me she got depressed but I never thought it was this bad. But I had to push her to the back of my head, I was in surgery and I couldn't let Callie distract me. But all through out the rest of the surgery I felt her eyes burning through me.
The surgery was successful. I am now washing up when I hear someone came in. I know who it is the minute I could smell her perfume from across the room.
"I don't think I am ready for this," that was all that was running through my head.
"Erica you're back?" her voice is bearly above a whisper, and its heart breaking to hear.
"Yes Callie I'm back, just for today though. I was called here for this surgery, now it's done so I go home in two days."
"Wait, you're leaving in two day?" She is starting to cry, oh gosh Erica keep your self together! "If I hadn't seen your surgery on the board and hadn't come here to watch, would you have talked to me?" I finally turn and my eyes meet hers. They are showing so much, so much hurt, anger, and confusion. It hurts to know that I'm the reason she is like that. "Would you?"
"Look Callie, I don't know. Would you even want me to speak to you? I mean two year I just show up, I didn't know what life you have now. I didn't know if I would hurt were you are right now in your life. I…" Callie then cut me off and started to speak.
"ERICA I HAVE NO LIFE! When you left you took everything I had with you." Callie was now stepping towards me and was hysterical. "You took everything with you. When you left I had nothing. I had no heart because you took that. I couldn't breathe because you were my air. I was nothing. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. It wasn't till Addie came back that I finally got a little part of me back. Look at me Erica do I look the same to you?!"
I am now crying and I don't really notice it till I start to talk, "Callie I'm so sorry. But I thought that I meant nothing to you. You slept with Mark, twice, after you made love to me! You defended the girl that ruined your marriage over me!"
"I know I made a mistake. Erica I am human, I was scared…"
"You don't think I was scared! I was scared out of my mind! So you do NOT get to use that excuse anymore." Callie was now holding my hand in hers and she was not letting go for her own life.
"Erica please, I'm sorry. I know being scared is not an excuse. I am so sorry. Please just forgive me. I love you, and I know you love me too. Please Erica, please." I can't deal with this, not right now. I snap my hand out of hers and scream a bit which I think made her jump.
"I CAN'T DO THIS! I CAN'T DEAL WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!" I storm out of the room, but it seems I only make it a short distance when I feel my head hit the ground. Everything turns to the blur and all I hear is Callie screaming my name. I can tell there are a bunch of nurses around me but I can only hear Callie's voice. Soon enough I blank out.
