Susan and Elizabeth walked down the corridor of the ER. Things were actually getting quiet for the first time in a while so they decided to celebrate with a coffee in the lounge. As Elizabeth was pouring the coffee into her mug, she suddenly felt extremely dizzy, so much so that she had to grab onto the counter to keep from falling.

"Elizabeth," Susan asked worriedly, " You okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine it's just that….Oh god!" Elizabeth cried and dropped to the ground.

"I need help in here!" Susan screamed as she knelt down to take Elizabeth's pulse.

In a flash Abby and Kerry were in the lounge.

"Oh God," said Abby worriedly "What happened?"

"I don't know! She was fine! She was getting coffee and then all of a sudden I saw her drop, I don't know what's wrong!" Susan said between sobs.

"I'll go get a gurney" Kerry said and was out the door.

"Elizabeth! Oh God, Susan she's not breathing! !" cried Abby as Susan watched her in horror.

Just as Susan was about to leave the room, Elizabeth opened her eyes.

"Elizabeth?" asked Abby anxiously.

"Susan? Abby?," exclaimed Elizabeth and winced in pain.

"Where Elizabeth, where does it hurt?"

Elizabeth pointed to her head and then once again her eyes shut.

"Oh God, Dr. Corday?" yelled Susan.

"Its okay, I'm here," said Elizabeth faintly.

Elizabeth then tried to sit up. Feeling successful she then held onto the couch and stood up. She didn't feel the least bit dizzy. With Susan and Abby on either side of her, she started to walk and taking only three steps, she fell into Susan's arms. Elizabeth started to tear as Susan led her onto the couch.

"I don't know what's wrong," Elizabeth said as her eyes filled up with tears.

"We'll find out, don't worry" Susan said, rubbing Elizabeth's back.

" Thank you Susan," Elizabeth said and buried her head into her shoulder

Meanwhile, Abby grabbed herself a coffee and sat on the other side of Elizabeth and took over the back rubbing job. "Its okay, Elizabeth, it's ok." Abby kept repeating while sipping his coffee and rubbing her back.

A few hours passed and some tests were done on Dr. Corday to find out what she had.

"Dr. Corday," the Dr. said in a solemn voice "You have cancer."

Elizabeth couldn't say anything. She just sat there, with Susan by her side, rubbing her arm, telling her it would be okay. But it wasn't okay. "Mark died from this" she thought "If mark died, I will die."
