Chapter 10
Back Again, Forever
A/N. Thanks for reviewing, I'm changing the past a bit in this one, Mark Greene never died. And Elizabeth never married him and Ella doesn't exist! The lyrics are from the song 'holding out for a hero' (Jennifer Saunders Fairy Godmother version) Also sorry if I haven't got Marks personality right but I didn't watch ER when he was in it =O so I'm taking it from other FanFictions!
Set about 2 weeks after the last chapter.
Susan's POV
# Where have all the good men gone, and where are are all the Gods, wheres the street wise Herculise to fight the rising odds. Isn't there a wight knight upon a fiery steed. Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need. (hit it) I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night, hes gota be strong and hes got to be fast and hes...#
Everyones so happy, Abby and Carter are engaged and getting married in 4 weeks! Gallant and Neela have a child, Luka and Sam are married.
# Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasies somewhere just beyond my reach is someone reaching back for me racing all the thunder and rising with the heat its gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet!#
I start thinking of the past, of Mark, I loved him, he loved me, he didn't tell me until just before he left to go back to Hawaii. I never told him!
# and when the mountains reach the heavens above and when the lightning splits the sea i can swear that theres someone somewhere watching me through the wind and the chill and the rain and the storm and the flood i can feel his approach like a fire in my blood...#
I turn the radio off and the TV on, its the news "and now to our reporter at Hawaii General Hospital" thats where Mark is "I'm here at Hawaii General Hospital after the explosion yesterday morning" Oh my God, Mark! " there have been many fatalities including 50 school children, 70 adults and 4 doctors. The names of the victims haven't been released as the family's are still being told." Oh my god, I hope Marks OK, I sit there just staring at the TV, not paying attention to what the reporters saying, then theres a knock on the door, I slowly get up, sill in shock I go to open the door. All the shock from seeing the news report vanishes as the shock of seeing whos standing there takes over!
"Mark!" I manage to say eventualy, I have so many feeling coming back to me! I never really let go of him, I still love him!
"Hi Susan" I throw my arms round him, I'm relieved that hes not dead. He looks slightly take aback but returns the hug!
"Come in!" I say. He comes in and sits on the sofa "so you heard about the explosion!"
"just found out!" I start to cry
"whats wrong?" he says as I sit down next to him and hug him again
"I thought you were dead! I was so worried that I'd never get to see you again and tell you how I felt about you!" he looks at me inquisitively, I carry on "Mark, when you left you told me that you loved me" hes crying too "and well what I never told was that, well, I loved you too! And well, since you left I've been in a few relationships and, well, I just ended up getting hurt, I just ended up arguing with them..." he puts his finger to my lips to silence me.
" your probably wondering why I came back?" I nod in answer "well, after the explosion I relised how easily I could have died, and never seen you again, I came back because of you, I still love you and I doubt that I will ever stop loving you! I came back to be with you!" I look at him, into those beautiful brown eyes, we lean forward and kiss. When we finally part I ask
"so, where are you staying?"
"at a hotel in central Chicago"
"well, why don't you stay here, its Probably not much nicer and Probably louder but, I'll be here.."
"yeah, sure, just one thing, what do you mean noisier?"
"well, the people above me like to play heavy metal until like 1am and the people next to me are constantly arguing!"
"wow!"
"yeah, do you want anything to drink?"
"no, why don't I go and get my stuff, you can order a pizza or something and I'll be back soon!"
"OK" we both get up and he kisses me quickly then goes.
I order the pizza, it'll be round in 10 minuets
I pick up the phone, and phone Abby
"John Carter speaking, who is it?"
"Hi, John, its Susan, is Abby there?"
"oh hi, yeah, she is, I'll just get her..........Susan?
"yeah, hi, how are you?"
"I'm OK, what about you, have you seen whats happened in Hawaii?"
"yeah, thats kinda why I'm phoning!"
"Oh my God, has something happened to Mark?"
"nope!"
"then why are you phoning about that?"
"well, I was just watching the news and there was a knock at the door, it was Mark!"
"Oh My God! How is he?"
"hes fine!"
"do you know why he came back?"
"well, he said that it was because that, well, he said that he came back for me, and well we kinda kissed and hes just gone to get his things from his hotel so he can stay here!"
"WOW, Susan, thats great, so how far?"
"what tonight? I'm not that much of a slut!"
"Really" Abby Jokes "no sorry, look, I'll leave you to it!"
"OK, I'll see you at work tomorrow!"
"OK, bye!"
,just as I put the phone down Mark gets back.
"that was quick" I say walking over to him and putting my arms round his waist, he doesn't say anything, just kisses me on the top of my head.
The pizza arrives and we sit eating it catching up with each other, as we finish I ask the question
"so....how long are you staying for?" "well, forever I hope!" I kinda guessed that this was the case
"you coming back to County?" Please say yes!
"well, yes, BUT" theres always a 'but' "you'll have to tell me all the gossip!"
"Deal!" we shake on it and he leans forward to kiss me.
"stay" i whisper
"I'm not going anywhere! I just got my stuff from my hotel!" he sounds confused
"no, I mean, stay here, live with me!" he looks surprised
"what...isn't it a bit soon?"
"well, yes but, I love you and I think you love me so well, it just feels right!"
"I do love you, and I know what you mean! I'll stay!"
"really!" i can't believe it! "yes!" we kiss again, I don't want this moment to end, but I have to b at work by 6am!
I pull away,
"I have to be at work by 6!"
"ohhh"
"yeah, I know, but Kerry will kill me if I'm late!"
"what, even if you bring County's best doctor back?"
"yeah, well, you know Kerry, and anyway, its bees so busy this week!"
"OK!" he smiles "do you mind if I go for a walk, I haven't seen Chicago for so long?"
"sure!"
"I'll be back soon!"
he leans over and kisses me goodnight.
