The Reason
Part Three: The Patient
By Jolinar at Carter
Jennifer ran as fast as her legs could carry her, her heart pounding, and a range of thoughts swimming about in her head, making her dizzy.She crossed the infirmary and stopped, infront of the middle bed.It was him.She just stood there, hardly feeling the icy tears that were running down her cheeks. She cried out loud, something she rarely did, in complete disbelief.Carter stood up, smiled slightly, and then left her alone with the patient."Steven, oh god, Steven," She cried as she sat down in Carter's seat, beside the bed. She took his hand, and kissed him on the forehead before sitting back, trying to process everything.They had left him to die.He had been captured.Two years ago.Two years.Tortured.He had escaped.Managed to travel to that planet.Stayed there for months or more, with no hope of getting home.No GDO.Two years.How could he have survived that long? With no real hope of a rescue?'I couldn't have done it,' she told herself. 'I could not have survived that long. I thought he was dead after two weeks of being missing. I accepted it. Tried to move on. While, all along, he was alive. Oh god, Steven.'She wiped her eyes and rested her head on his chest."Oh Steven," she whispered. "I missed you so much, my love. I'm so, so, so, sorry my love."
Sorry it's short...
