Please don't flame

This made no sense, none at all. After the week was up, without still seeing Natalie, Steven had decided he needed to see her. So he had gone to her house, he was standing at the door and all he could hear we the soft sobs and Nat played the piano, Fur Elise, the song played in Patch Adams just before the guy committed murder. As he knocked on the door he heard a thud, and a silent, last sob.

"Nat" he called softly, "Nat, its me, Steven. Nat?" was she ignoring him? Or was she just passed out from drinking.

As he was about to walk down her apartment steps, he heard the softest of noises that changed his mind, "Stev…" Was that her, not enough time to think, so he came up to the door, to make sure he hadn't imagined it, but he heard nothing, so he left. Never to return again.

"Steven" Eva inquired

"Yup" said Steven carelessly

"It's the last shift on the line," she replied, noticing how Steven had now begun to listen intently, "Nat never came in."

As she said the last word Steven ran from the room, breathing out and saying, "Nat…"

As he broke down Natalie's door he guessed he hadn't imagined her saying his name or the thump as she stopped playing the piano the night before.

"Nat" he said more to himself then anyone else as he bend down over her lifeless body, now drained of blood and life. Then he noticed the pool of blood around her and he grabbed his phone, checking her vital signs.

"This is Doctor Steven Connor from the NIH" he said to the under trained, and understaffed people on the other line, "I have a female, with very little blood and almost no pulse, I request for immediate help." He then rattled off Natalie's address without thinking.

"Nat" he whispered, "What have you done?"

"It looked like she tried to hack her wrists off" commented Frank, not realising that Eva was in the room with him.

"Thanks for your sympathy Frank." She said walking out to go and ask the nurses when she would get her blood transplant.

She had seen Steven once in the last 4 hours, when he had arrived in the ambulance with Natalie, it had hurt him the most, and everyone knew he had deeper feelings for Nat than show cared to admit, but no one had thought he would admit this way.

She had seen his face, she knew that his feelings ran beneath the blood, and he was deeply concerned for Nat, but she didn't know what he would do if she didn't wake up.
