Collapse

Alex

He walks over, and shakes her shoulder.

"Meredith!"

She says nothing.

Blood drips from cuts on her hand.

Her back is to him.

He turns her around, so he's face to face with her.

He's shocked by what he sees.

Tears are running down her face.

She shows no emotion, but the tears keep on falling.

"Meredith."

His voice is softer now.

She still does not reply.

"Meredith?"

Meredith

She hears him.

Calling her name.

She doesn't reply.

She can't.

Usually, it's a blissful release.

When the numbness comes, she welcomes it.

But this time, it's different.

It's painful, and terrifying.

The edges of her vision are blackening.

The floor is on a slant.

She's falling.

George

He watches Alex catch her.

He hears Cristina mutter a string of words that would make a sailor cringe.

He can't seem to make himself do anything.

Meredith is broken.

He doesn't quite know what to do.

Cristina

She swears to herself.

And immediately takes charge.

In a sick way, she's relieved.

Because those cuts on Meredith's hand; those cuts can be stitched up.

Those are things she can fix.

Derek

When he sees Alex carrying her, his heart almost stops.

She looks so pale. So lifeless.

He drops the file he was holding, and runs to catch up.

"What happened?"

If looks could kill, he'd be six feet under.

He's never been this intimidated by an intern.

"She collapsed."

He notices the blood, then.

It's dripping onto the floor.

Slowly, like a broken faucet.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

He puts an arm on the wall to steady himself.

Alex walks on, without him.

George and Cristina are nowhere to be seen.

Finding Bailey, probably.

She'll take charge.

Bailey always knows what to do.

It occurs to him that someone should call her boyfriend.

Finn.

He may not like the man, but he respects him.

And the guy deserves to know that his girlfriend collapsed at work.

He sighs, and walks off in search of the nearest phone.


Review. I'm begging you.
