Author's note: This piece is really short I know, but it is one that is close to my heart as the situation between Addison and Savvy is very similar to a current situation between a friend and me. This is basically my prayer for her. Grey's Anatomy wise, it is based on the events in episode 2.08 – Let it Be.

Addison hadn't been inside a church since she was a child and it seemed to be sacrilegious to go only when she wanted something, so she settled for the land behind the trailer. After all, she decided, what better place to connect with God than in the, often despised, great outdoors. She considered kneeling, she knew that it was probably the correct way to do this, but it felt awkward, unnatural, so instead she just sat in the damp grass, arms around her pajama clad knees. The breath she drew now was shaky.
"Are you there God? It's me, Addison," she said, quoting her favorite Judy Bloom book. "I know I don't really pray that much, or, well, at all really, but… It's Savvy – Savannah I mean, my best friend. Well she's here in Seattle because she found out she has the gene for breast and ovarian cancer which means she has an eighty-five percent chance of getting cancer so she wants me to remove, well I suppose you already know all this don't you…
"She's a good person. One of the few decent human beings left and she doesn't deserve this. Please look out for her during surgery and keep her here on earth please, she isn't done here yet. Weiss needs here, Derek needs her, I need her. I know I've been a really crappy friend lately but I want to do better and I need her here to prove I'm worthy of her friendship. I just don't think I know how to exist in a world where Savvy doesn't. She's my family.
"Please God, keep her safe… Thank you."
Addison sat there for a moment longer as the tears that had been threatening to fall all day finally dropped.
