I am soooo soo sorry y'all for the wait! I hope this chapter was worth it! enjoy :)

"April! April!" Meredith ran as fast as she could down the hallway, and April turned around.

"Hey Meredith! What's going on?" She said in her perkiest voice.

"Where is Ellis?" Meredith said sternly.

"With Harriet...at the party..." April was confused why Meredith was asking because her and Jackson were the ones who convinced her to let Harriet go.

"Yeah, I know that. But apparently she is not there! SO WHERE IS SHE?"

"I-I don't know then. I-I dropped them off and left..." April's voice started shaking.

"Give me the address." Meredith gritted her teeth

She quickly grabbed a prescription pad from her pocket and scribbled it down and handed it to Meredith.

"IF SHE ISN'T THERE I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" She screamed and turned around and starting running in the opposite direction, when her phone vibrated. She angrily grabbed it out of her pocket. It was a text from Zola.

Zola: We found Ellis...we will see you at the hospital…

Meredith sighed with relief, turned back around, and walked toward April, who was still standing there in shock.

"They found Ellis. They are on there way here now. And don't you DARE ever take my daughter again without permission from me first!" Meredith barked and started walking away and April followed.

"I'm so sorry she's gonna be fine right? They found her so she is going to be okay! You're not super mad at me right I mean technically this wasn't my fault I really hope Ellis is alright she was just at a party? What harm can a party do? I mean besides like rape and drugs and I'm-I'm sure Ellis knows better not drink at parties and take drinks from people she doesn't know she's a smart girl I mean she is the youngest person to be accepted into that doctor's program and-

"AH APRIL JUST SHUT UP!" Meredith screamed as she found her way into an on call room and slammed the door in April's face.

"So we'll talk later?" April asked.

The crowd standed there watching as Bailey emerged from the water with Ellis cradled in his arms.

"She's so cold and her face is...blue!" Bailey said panic-stricken. "She's unconscious, and I'm not sure if she's breathing!"

He laid her gently down on the concertate next to the pool. Bailey grabbed her wrist and felt for a pulse. "She has weak pulse…" He muttered. When everyone was continued to stand there and stare Bailey yelled. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! CALL 911! SOMEBODY CALL 911! He then began to perform CPR on his little sister. Something he never thought he would have to do.

"You look like hell." Alex laughed halfheartedly at Meredith.

"Thanks I know." He managed to get a small smile out of Meredith.

"Hey, I'm just glad they found Ellis!"

"Me too! She is so grounded though…wait should I ground her? Or... should we have a talk? Or... what should I do?"

"Are you stupid!? Do you want your daughter to run away again!?"

"NO! Why would you even ask me a question like that!?"

"Because that's what she will do if you ground her!"

"Oh...hm I mean... I still have some time to think of a punishment…"

"Don't punish her she has already been through enough today…"

"Maybe you're right…" Meredith sighed as her pager went off.

ER 911

"Alex, I gotta go I'm being paged to the ER, 911, plus my children should be here any minute."

"Okay call me later, and let me know how Ellis is doing."

"I will!" She hung up the facetime and put her phone in her lab coat pocket rushed toward the ER.

A stretcher came in with two paramedics on each side.

"What do we got?" April Kepner asked the paramedics.

"Jane Doe, looks about 15, hypothermic, drowning." One of them replied.

"Not Jane Doe! That's my sister Ellis Shepherd!" Bailey countered as he and Zola jumped out of the ambulance and ran in through the hospitals sliding doors, and headed to trauma room 3.

"WHAT?" April shouted. "Wh-what happened? Where's Harriet?" she turned her head quickly to see if her she was here.

"Harriet's fine she's still at the party, and I think Ellis drowned…" Bailey said.

"Drowned!? But she can swim! Right?" April panicked.

"Yeah she can, so I'm not exactly sure how she drowned...unless…
Zola gulped. "It was on purpose…"

"NO!" Bailey yelled. "She wouldn't do that!"

"Are you sure about that?" Zola questioned her brother.

"Yes! I mean no...maybe?" Bailey shrugged his shoulders.

Meredith entered the ER she saw Zola and Bailey exiting trauma room 3.

"Hey guys!" She smiled and breathed heavily from running. "Where's Ellis?"

Zola and Bailey exchanged a glance. "Sh-she's-" Bailey started.

"In the bathroom!" Zola finished his sentence.

"Okay! Well I'm going to check and see if they need me in the trauma room." She pointed to the room Ellis was in.

"No!" The two backed up against the door. "Y-you don't wanna go in there…" Bailey's voice was shaking.

"Why not?" Meredith gave her son a stern look and put her hands on her hips.

"I-It was so gross...like this girl had 5 bones sticking out of her body...it's definitely a job for ortho not general so…"

"So? That doesn't bother me. I'm a surgeon! Now let me get through the door! If I'm not needed we can all head home once Ellis comes back!" The pair did not move.

"Move!" Meredith stood her ground.

"No it's not a good idea…" Zola backed up her brother.

"Oh my gosh you two! I'm used to all this stuff! I've been doing it for years!" Meredith laughed half-hearty. Zola and Bailey didn't budge.

"MOVE!" Meredith didn't have time for their games. When they continued to stand their Meredith pushed her way around her children into the room. Nothing, not even her years of experience of being a surgeon would prepare her for this next moment.

There are no open wounds or bones sticking out...so why would Zola and Bailey not want me in here? Oh, aw, she's just a teenager with pink hair, she reminds me of me…

Meredith stepped closer to the girl.

She looks so familiar,maybe I had her as a patient before…?

She couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she stepped a little bit closer.

"OH GOD!" Meredith screamed and looked up toward heaven. She covered her mouth with her hand and tears began to fall down her cheeks. The other doctors hadn't noticed that Meredith had entered the room until she screamed.

"Oh Meredith…" April said.

"Please tell me that's not who I think it is…please tell me…"

"Meredith, you really shouldn't be in here…" Owen stated the obvious.

"TELL ME THAT'S NOT ELLIS! PLEASE!" Her tears began to fall faster. "IS THAT MY DAUGHTER?"

Owen and April turned toward Meredith and nodded slightly and returned back to Ellis.

"We need to start a central line...her 20 gauge IV blew!" April instructed an intern.

Meredith stood their staring at her daughter's blue lifeless face, while the doctors worked on keeping her alive.

"She almost drowned didn't she…?" Surprisingly, Meredith voice was quiet and calm.

"Yes." Owen nodded.

Meredith continued to stare in shock at her daughter. How could have this happened? Ellis can swim...

She lost her train of thought when Ellis flatlined.

"NO! NO! ELLIS!" She ran up to the side of the bed and grabbed Ellis' hand."YOU DON'T GET TO DIE ON ME!" Meredith tried to fight her tears but failed miserably.

"Alright somebody get her out of here!" Owen shouted and two nurses escorted Meredith out of the trauma room.
