As the ambulance arrived at the hospital April and Meredith were waiting outside. As the ambulance doors opened and they lifted the cart down April shouted.
"oh god"
"April! What, what is it?" replied Meredith.
"Its Levi!" April cried.
"What?! No!" Meredith replied in shock. "How? Where did this happen?" she asked the paramedic.
"Just over the road from Charles Deli. There was an altercation and from what a woman told me, she went in to help and then the gunshot went off." She explained.
"Meredith, what's happened?" Asked Dr Webber as he rushed out.
"It's Levi, she's been shot in the chest!"
"Oh no. Have you paged Maggie?" he asked.
"Yes!" she said while climbing on top of Levi's body and began to resuscitate her.
"Right, is there anything I can help with?" Callie said popping her head into the emergency room.
"Yes, I need blood, lots of it" demanded Meredith.
"Omg! Its Levi!" Callie said in complete shock. "What happened, does Arizona know?" she asked.
"No and she's can't find out right now, we need complete focus." Explained Meredith. "April?"
"Yes?"
"Keep Arizona out of this room!"
"Arizona? I'm confused!" answered April.
"I'll explain later just do it!" shouted Meredith.
"Yes Ma'am" replied April as she kept guard on the door.
"Meredith, Maggie is ready in OR 3!"
"Let's go"
Callie, Webber and April rushed Levi's cart down the halls of Grey Sloan while Meredith, still on top of Levi, begged for her to stay with them and not give up. Levi had lost a lot of blood and hadn't gained consciousness since she arrived at the hospital.
It had been five hours and Maggie stepped out of OR 3 and through her scrub cap to the floor.
"What happened?" asked Meredith.
"I got the bullet out but there was so much blood loss, I don't know if she's going to wake up Mer"
"You did all you could" Meredith replied giving her a hug. "We will just have to pray"
The surgeons all gathered outside Levi's ICU room and just sat in silence, some praying and some sighing in disbelief that this is happening to one of their own. It was always that little bit harder when it was a fellow surgeon. As they all sat in silence, Callie jumped up suddenly.
"Arizona!"
"Woah, what's going on?" Arizona asked looking at everyone. "No, seriously, what the hell?" she began to panic.
Meredith stood up and walked towards her.
"Arizona, its Levi."
"What?! Levi, what's happened?"
"She, urm." Meredith took a breath. "She's been shot. Maggie did al-"
"No!" screamed Arizona as she fell into Meredith's arms.
"We don't know if she will wake up, she lost a lot of blood but all we can do is wait" explained Meredith while trying to console Arizona.
Minutes had past and Arizona was sat beside Levi's bed holding her hand, sobbing, begging her to open her eyes and come back to her.
"I just walked out on her" Arizona said while looking at Callie. "She told me she loved me and I just walked out."
"Arizona this is not your fault" explained Callie.
"I know that but I said nothing Callie. I have all these feelings but instead I said nothing and now I might not get a chance to" cried Arizona.
"tell her now."
"What? Callie, we both know she can't hear me"
"You don't actually know that, maybe she can. I swore I heard you when we had that crash and I'd like to think Mark heard me before he drifted away" explained Callie. "All you can do is hope she hears you"
"Maybe" she said placing her head on Levi's stomach. Arizona began to talk to Levi and Callie slipped out the room quietly.
"it's about to get deep in there so I'd leave them a while" Callie said.
