AN: Okay, I actually wrote this with the first chapter, but I waited to see if anyone would tell me it was crap before I continued with the story. And since no one did here is the second chapter. Sorry it's pretty short. More to come when I right it.Don't know if that will be soon. Probably though.

Disclaimer: I still don't own anything related to ER. If I did, well I never would have dropped a helicopter on anyone.

Chapter 2 – Ready for Life

She couldn't open her eyes and she couldn't make a sound, but she felt like screaming. She didn't know where she was, or how she had gotten there. She was trying to remember…

"Slow down."
She didn't respond. She didn't have a lot to say to him anyways.
"Come on. Talk to me, Baby."
"Don't call me that. And don't criticize my driving."
"You're like 15 miles over the speed limit." Again, she didn't say anything she just kept on driving
"Fine just stop. I'm not staying in the car with you driving like this."
He had no idea where they were, but he didn't want to be in that kind of danger any longer than he had to be. He knew he had pissed her off, but he didn't care. He didn't care about her anyways. She was, quite frankly, just a rebound. She pulled over, he got out, and she drove away without a word. Had he not gotten on the El at the stop he happened to be standing next to he would have heard the scrape of metal on metal as a city taxi collided head on with a jeep.

But she didn't remember any of that. She remembered "Ready for Love" playing on the radio, but that was it. And she remembered a familiar voice asking her to "stay with me." She was extremely tired. She just wished she could open her eyes. It was beginning to worry her that she couldn't see or speak. What if her eyes were open and she didn't know it? What if she could never see again?

She heard someone move beside her. She wanted to reach out, to grab them, to say "Hey I'm in here", but she couldn't. She wanted to cry. She hated this, She hated being alone. She was ready to wake up and go back to her life. While she was bathing in her self pity, she heard a door open.

"How is she?" She heard a voice say. It was a voice she had heard before but she couldn't place it.
"No change." 'Damn it,' she thought, 'Where do I know that voice from?' She heard one of the people start to leave.
"Susan," said the voice, "I'm sure she'll be fine."

'SUSAN! No there is no way.' But she knew that was who it was. She was surprised that she hadn't picked up on the voice right away, but then again it had been 5 years. Then it hit her, she was at County.

To be continued…
