Chapter 10 - regret

She grabbed a taxi as quickly as she could and once in the back, called Michael.

'Eddi, I can't talk right now I'm in theatre' he said, breathing heavily.

'Okay, why did you call?' she replied, her heart beating out of her chest.

'It's Luc, I'm operating now but I can't see a thing...suction please' there was a short silence until she heard a nurse shout 'He's gone into VF'.

'Charge to 100' Michael called, a tear rolling down Eddi's cheek.

'Michael, what's going on?' she screamed down the phone.

'Okay, charge to 150...nothing' Eddi burst into tears in the back of the taxi as it pulled up outside Holby. She leapt out.

'Michael, do something' she shouted down the phone as she ran up the stairs but the line had gone dead. She kept running up the familiar stairs but everything was blurred as she ran into AAU. She saw Sacha across the ward and ran straight to him.

'Where is he Sacha?' She shouted.

'He's in theatre now, I'm sure everything will be fine. He's in good hands.' He tried to reassure his friend.

'What theatre is he in?' she asked hurriedly.

'Oh AAU, theatre 2' she ran as quickly as she could along the corridor with Sacha close behind her. She crashed through the doors of the theatre room and stopped dead in front of the glass. Eddi pressed the button.

'Please Michael do something' giving up and collapsing to the floor. Sacha came up behind Eddi and pulled her to her feet.

Michael's mouth opened as she heard the echoing words escape his mouth, 'Time of death...12am' he almost whispered and stepped away from the table in defeat.

Eddi's legs went weak as Sacha struggled to hold her up, dealing with his own shock. Michael took his gloves off frustratedly and threw them across the room.

'Damn you Hemingway' he shouted and stared through the glass straight at Eddi. There was so much sadness in her eyes. Sacha sat her down on a stool in the corner, through the tears she managed to get some words out.

'I wasn't there' she wept. Sacha was holding back the tears himself, he liked Luc and he knew he was a good guy and seeing one of his closest friends so upset just added to it.

'I never told him how much I love him Sacha' a tear escaped his eye as he looked over at Michael who had entered. He looked a wreck.

'You still can' Sacha said tentatively gesturing towards Luc's lifeless body on the table, Eddi just nodded emotionlessly.

Michael called a nurse over, 'could you prepare the body please?' he asked. The nurse just nodded and went off to do so.

'How did it happen Michael' Eddi took a long breath, 'you promised me he would be okay' she burst into tears once again.

Michael just sighed regretfully and said 'I know'. The nurse scurried back in and informed them that the body was ready and waiting in the side room.

'What do I say?' Eddi asked her friends.

Michael told her 'Say what you never had the guts to say but wished you had...just say goodbye' Eddi nodded and walked past both the men on her way to...say goodbye.

Okay, that is the end of that chapter! I hope it wasn't too sad and only one more chapter to go, please R&R because every review means a lot, thanks x
