Chapter 1

--Bring Me To Life--

Izzie grabbed her jacket and her purse and shut her locker.

"Hey Izz, you comin?" Meredith asked.

Izzie turned around and shook her head. "No, I'm really tired. I think I'll just head home."

Meredith gave her a pouty face and stuck out her bottom lip. "Ah come on Izz, we really want you to come." She said, motioning towards Cristina who was standing on the other side of the room. She leaned in closer and whispered "After what happened yesterday at the church, she could really use her friends."

Izzie sighed. "I'm sorry Mer, but not tonight."

Meredith stood back and shrugged. "Alright, but you don't know what you're missing."

Izzie laughed slightly. "Yeah, I know." She said, and headed out of the hospital. She walked outside and got into her car. She set her bag on the passenger seat and pulled out of the parking lot.

She was stopped at a red light, and was nodding her head to the song on the radio. She heard a honk behind her and glanced up and saw that the light had changed. It seemed like she had just put her foot on the gas pedal, when she heard sirens. She turned her head quickly to the right and barely got a glimpse of the car, before it hit her.

ooOooOooOoo

"What have we got?" Dr. Bailey said to the paramedic who had just walked in the ER doors.

"A young female, received serious head trauma in a collision." The man stated, pushing the stretcher towards Dr. Bailey.

Bailey looked down at the woman laying, unconscious on the stretcher. "Izzie" she whispered. She stared down at one of her interns in momentary shock. After a moment she snapped out of it.

"Somebody page Dr. Shepherd, now!" she yelled out to whoever would listen.

ooOooOooOoo

"Dr. Bailey, what happened?" Derek said when he finally got into OR 2.

"From what I heard, she was on her way home when someone hit her." Bailey said, in a shaky tone.

Derek looked at her strangely. "Miranda, maybe you should stay out here." He said carefully.

"Dr. Shepherd I am perfectly capable of being in that operating room. Now stop talking and get in there and save her life!" she demanded.

Derek finished washing his hands and went into the OR without any more objections to Bailey.

ooOooOooOoo

Derek pulled the last shard of glass out of the side of her head and dropped it into the pan. He looked up at the heart monitor and frowned.

"I need someone to page Dr. Hahn; I think she may have some severe injuries to the chest."

He then began to open her skull.

ooOooOooOoo

Derek was nearly done stitching her up, when Dr. Hahn walked in.

"You had me paged Dr. Shepherd." She said, walking over to him and looking down at Izzie.

Derek glanced up at her. "Yes. My patient seems to have some suffered some pretty severe damage to the chest." He paused and looked back up at the heart monitor. "And her heart rate isn't as high as I would like it." He added before continuing with the stitches.

Dr. Hahn nodded and began examining Izzie's chest. She could clearly see the bruising and figured Izzie's rib cage was broken.

After a few moments of examining her, she looked up at Derek and sighed.

"Well there's nothing I can really do right now since she's already been under for so long." She paused briefly "So tomorrow I'll take a better look, and I'll need someone from Orthopaedics, I think her ribcage may be broken."

Derek nodded slightly before Dr. Hahn left.

ooOooOooOoo

Meredith looked up and saw Derek walking towards her. She jumped up and hurried over to him. She stopped in front of him and he just stared at her.

"Well?" she said.

Derek just stared ay her, wanting nothing more than to grab her and hug her. He wanted to tell her that her friend was perfectly fine and that everything was going to be alright. But he couldn't. It would be a lie.

"Derek she's alright isn't she?" Meredith asked, getting more frightened by the minute.

Derek sighed and tried to lead Meredith to sit down, but she slapped his arm away.

"Just tell me." she said, her eyes beginning to water.

Derek sighed. "She's alive, but-"

"But what?" Meredith practically yelled.

Derek looked at her sadly. "She's in a coma. "He paused, looking at the expression on her face. "And there's a 75 chance she may never wake up."
