CURRENTLY 5 HOURS AFTER CRASH

CY- "Lexie? Lexie come on wake up!", I shook her as hard as I could, gripping her shoulders. Her face was devoid of colour, she was obviously in a bad way, but my mind was racing, I couldn't think through my years of medical knowledge. Come on Lexie, just open your eyes, let me know you're ok, we need someone else to be alive. I looked up and down Lexie's limp body-… my eyes stopped at her hand, with a massive gash going all around her wrist, the rest of her hand was covered in crimson blood. Fresh. Fresh is good, that means she couldn't have fainted long after whatever she did to her hand.

Lexie moaned, "Lexie? Lexie? Lexie come on, look at me", I reached for her face and cupped her ice-cold cheek. I reached down to her neck, her pulse was dangerously slow.

"Meredith?" Lexie whispered

"No Lexie, its Cristina, you're going to be ok, just help me here"

"What? Cristina, we have to…" she coughed weakly, "we… we have to do rounds?... Dr Yang?", my heart sunk. My medical knowledge was something which I would really rather ignore at the moment. Lexie was clearly displaying signs of early sepsis; her hand must be infected. This next hour is the deciding one. The golden hour. She was either going to hydrate and stay alive long enough to be taken to a hospital for antibiotics, or begin a downward spiral which once started couldn't be stopped...

DS- I was bracing myself on the tough bark of the tree… I didn't anticipate how injured my stomach was, it was pulsating with pain and showed no signs of passing. But I had to get to Cristina, she was shouting back at me something about Lexie. I grunted as I pushed myself up off of the tree and began to make my way climbing over the remnants of the crashed plane towards Cristina.

Lexie wasn't in a good way, her hand was bad, but the infection was worse. She was worryingly cold and shivering within an inch of her life. Cristina was crouched by Lexie's wrist using her only hand to try examining it and see how bad the damage was. It was still bleeding. That wasn't good. We had to get it bandaged, and quick. "Derek, we haven't got anything to stop this bleeding, what do we do?... What do we do?"

"It's ok, um, um…"

I trailed off, it was obvious Cristina was in shock, maybe it was the crash of adrenalin finally subsiding and letting her feel the full extent of her wound. But right now, we had to help Lexie, or she would most definitely loose the hand. "We need bandages. Yeah, yes, ok… um, so Cristina, I-I-I am going to go look for something we can use to stop this bleeding, you stay with her ok", I got up to walk away as she gripped onto my hand.

"Don't go Derek, please- "

"I have to! Do you want Lexie to lose the hand?" She shook her head, "I didn't think so! Now please, just let me go try help her".

I didn't mean to snap. But she needed to hear it, hear what we were both thinking but were too scared to say out loud.

CY- Then he was gone. Just like that, I was left with Lexie who was now shivering and spiking a fever. If it wasn't before, now it was obvious that she had a pretty severe infection. She must have gotten injured longer before we found her than we thought. She just opened her eyes slightly and began saying something inaudible, "Cristina?"

"Yes, yes Lexie- I'm here, Derek has gone to get bandages for your hand, you hear that? You're going to be fine…" She was gritting her teeth in pain now, I had to do something, "Mark will be here soon and you two will… uh… move in? Sorry Lex, I try not to keep up in your turbulent love life- that Mer's job…" As soon as her name escaped my mouth, a lump appeared in my throat. I hadn't thought about losing her. Meredith was my person, if I lost her, I would have no one, she was my rock. We had to find her.

DS- Sweat was dripping down the side of my forehead, my hair was a mess, blood was coming from all sorts of places, but I didn't have time to think about that- Lexie was in a much worse state than I was. A first aid kit would save her life, a fucking first aid kit, something I usually have in my briefcase every day, or anyone would have in their car or their house. But the only time when I have ever properly needed it, I haven't had it. Ironic, huh…

The plane must be scattered across a mile of this forest, there is wreckage as far as I can see. The light tunnelled in from the pine trees above, radiating off the metal, but however warm and welcoming this forest looked, it was getting dark and the light was no longer tunnelling like it was before. It was dwindling, counting down as if on a stop watch before we would be abandoned in the pitch black, all injured. I quickened my pace at the thought of Meredith being here overnight, that's if she was even alive…

I began running.

The thought was unbearable, for Meredith, I had to save Lexie's life, I had to do something. The trees began blurring as I was moving over all the rubble. My breath was laboured, I could hear my heart thump in my ears. My chest was pounding, my eyes were scanning around the forest for any sign of something we could use for bandages, anyt-

Crap. Shit. Ah Shit that hurt. Next thing I knew, I had my face planted into the ground. Agony coursed through my stomach where my injury was aggravated. It made be throw my head back in pain. It felt like someone had hit me with a baseball bat. I collapsed my head back down while I was reeling from the consuming pain, my teeth were gritted to stop myself from screaming. Breathe Derek. Breathe. I attempted to control my sporadic breathing, but my body was fighting back with tears.

I was staring up at the sky when I heard it. It was faint but I heard a voice.

"Come on Meredith! Don't give up on me now! I know, I know, please, just hold on" and then I heard a massive grunt, which would be heard throughout the whole forest. It was painstaking and full of vigour.

But that voice. I would recognise it anywhere.

Mark.
