A/N: So I told a little white lie. This isn't the last chapter. There's one more. But this one is kind of short.
Wait
She's a little worried.
They're leaving for the airport in three hours.
He hasn't called.
The suitcases are packed.
She's said goodbye to everyone.
Except George and Izzie, of course.
But he hasn't called.
…
He's in the on call room.
Fast asleep.
He doesn't want to go home.
It's too lonely.
So he busies himself with work.
That way, he doesn't have to think about anything.
More specifically, he doesn't have to think about Meredith.
He doesn't know what he's going to do.
…
There's two more hours.
The phone rang once.
She practically jumped over the bed to get to it.
It was a telemarketer.
Asking for "Isabella Stefan".
She hung up.
And went back to waiting.
…
He wakes up.
Walks around the hospital.
Trying to find something to do.
Finally, Bailey tells him to just go home.
He would ignore her.
But Bailey's scary when she's annoyed.
So he goes out to his car.
…
There's only one hour.
She's beginning to panic.
What if he doesn't call?
What if he really doesn't care?
The thought terrifies her.
She loves him.
It's the first time she's admitted it in a long time.
She loves him.
…
He stops at the store on the way home.
He's out of instant dinners.
He used to catch fish.
Fry them.
Now, he eats Ramen Noodles almost every night.
He just doesn't want to bother anymore.
…
She was supposed to leave five minutes ago.
Izzie's calling.
The car's loaded.
Adrienne's in her car seat.
But she's stalling.
She's not ready to give up yet.
…
He's driving home.
His mind is wandering.
She hasn't called him.
He wonders why.
…
She can't stall anymore.
She gets in the passenger's side.
He didn't call.
She can't believe it.
He didn't call.
A/N: I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can. Review, please.
