Drowning on Dry Landby Nehebka

Chapter 2

Derek returned from the scene with an injured man. He was doing CPR on the pacient, when the ER's door in front of him opened, reveling Addison inside.

"Take over compressions" said to a doctor and went into Addison's ER.

"What happened?" asked not believing what he was seeing.

"She was there Derek… in the accident... I found her below piles of rubble", replied Mark.

"How's she doing?" asked Derek again still in shock.

"Well, we won't know until we get her up to the OR", answered Bailey.

"I wanna go in there" said Derek.

"No Derek" asked Bailey.

"There's a risk of brain damage. I need to go in there", said desperetely.

"Derek, you can't. Not for Addison, not for anybody. You're in no shape", said impassively Bailey. She turned around and saw Mark who was as nervous as Derek. "Ok, both of you get out"

"But-", tried to protest Mark.

"No buts" interrupted Bailey. "We need to save her life. You can't do this. Now go! Go!" yelled. "Page Burke, I'll meet him in the OR" said Bailey to a nurse.

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

The surgery lasted two hours. Derek was sitting in the hall. Mark paced the hospital corridor in short strides waiting for news. Some how, the friends who had separated because of Addison, had been joined again because of her.

"If you keep walking like this you're going to make a hole" said Derek.

"Sorry" said Mark as he stopped. "I'm worried".

"Yeah me too"

"What if-", he began to say

"Mark, don't even think about it" Derek interrupted him.

Burked walked through the doorway to where Derek and Mark were. When erek saw him, he stood up.

Mark stepped closer to Burke. "Tell me" said Mark anxiously.

"She's stable" answered Burke.

Mark sighed of relief.

"What about her brain function?" asked Derek

"We don't know yet. We'll have to wait until she wakes up".

Meredith came up walking fast and hugged Derek relieved. "Derek, are you okay? I heard about the accident and I was worried"

"I-I'm ok. Addison was there and-" mumbled.

"What?!" asked as she turned around to them expecting someone to give her more information.

"She's ok now", reported Burke.

Meredith sighed. "Come Derek, let's go home". Derek hesitated.

Mark nodded. "Don't worry, I'll stay with Addison. If there are news, I'll call you", said Mark.

Derek nodded and left with Meredith.

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

After a couple of hours Mark was beginning to feel tired. He could feel his eyelids drooping but he did all he could to fight sleep. He glanced out the door quickly and saw Bailey standing against the doorframe.

"You shouldn't be in here. Go home, you need to rest" said Bailey concerned

"I'm not leaving until she's awake"

"You need to sleep and-" said Bailey. Before she could finish the sentece Mark cut her off.

"I would go through hell if it meant she'd be okay" said as he carefully brushed her hair out of her eyes "There is nothing I wouldn't do to get her to wake up".

"She'll pull through" Bailey said quietly putting her hand on his back.

He nodded not able to say anything and looked at Miranda. She nodded too and left.

Now alone again, Mark gazed at Addison's face. As he watched her, her eyelids began to twitch and opened.

"Hey" said Mark sweetly. "How are you?" he said as he stood at Addison's side and touched her face.

Addison looked around the room. "Confused" said.

"Do you know where you are?"

"Hospital? H-How did I get here?" asked confused. "I-I'm not supposed to be here". She tried to sit up on the bed.

"This wasn't in your plan today I get that". He couldn't help laughing a little at that. "But you need to lie back" Mark guided her gently back down. "It's been a miracle that you survived from that accident".

"What accident?" she asked.

"You were on the ferry. Do you not remember?"

She shook her head.

"What about your name"

"My name? Yes of course, my name is… is… I should know my own name", croacked. "What's wrong with me?" asked alarmed.

He'd never heard her sound so lost. He got into the bed next to her and held her in his arms as she cried. "I-I should know who I am" she sobbed.

He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "Sssh, sssh. Everything's going to be okay, I promise" whispered Mark.
