Chapter 5:

The cafeteria was almost empty. Mark and Callie were seated at a table far away from the entrance, wanting to get as much privacy as possible. Both tried not to think about what could be happening in Hunt's OR at that second and what consequences the result of the boy's surgery could have. Callie was much more calm, her main goal was to distract Mark who was a nervous wreck. But before she could start with distracting him he got up and left the cafeteria hoping to find Hunt. Owen Hunt was a great surgeon he had saved so many soldier's lives in Iraq, he just had to save this boy and Mark just had to believe in that.

He had went through almost every hallway in the hospital and still he hadn't found Hunt.

Just as he was about to give up he heard some screaming, "Sloan!" and turned to see that it was the man he was looking for.

"Hunt, there you are I've searched for you for almost half an hour..." Mark said when he turned around.

"Well so have I, I met Dr Torres when I scrubbed out and she told me you would be in the cafeteria waiting for me to end the surgery. She said you promised the kid's girlfriend to find out how he and her friend are? But you weren't anymore in the cafeteria when I wanted to tell you." Owen explained.

"And how is he?" he asked the other surgeon hoping what he had to tell him wasn't the worst.

"Well, he's alive..."

Was that good or bad? Actually when the patient was still alive it was good, but in this case it sounded just the opposite...

"So I can tell Alyssa her boyfriend will live?" he asked unsure.

"You can tell her that he's still alive... but in a coma..."

"What? He's in a coma? How can I tell her that? Is there any chance he's going to wake up?" That was definitely not what he wanted to tell Alyssa.

"It doesn't look good... he had internal bleeding and we could save only one kidney... his heart stopped beating several times and it's kind of a miracle that now he's stable..."

"Oh my god... okay... ehhr... I guess I should go tell Alyssa what had happened..." he felt numb, how could he tell her something like this? He slowly turned around and walked away thinking about Alyssa and if he should tell her immediately what had happened. Actually it would be unfair to not tell her what had happened to her boyfriend but thinking about it,it wasn't his decision to make, he wasn't her father, he wasn't even her doctor...

Entering Alyssa's room, he looked right into the hopeful eyes of the girl, he couldn't tell her the whole truth, he just couldn't. Telling her that her boyfriend is in coma and that it's not likely that he will ever wake up again, that would mean breaking her heart and right now she had to get better and there it would be not very helpful to know the shocking truth.

"Hey, did you sleep a little bit?" he asked smiling.

"No... I couldn't... did you find my friends?" she sounded sad.

"Yes, they were with you in the car when the accident happened... Julie is fine, she has just a broken arm... but your boyfriend... he's still in surgery..." he explained.

"Jake? What does that mean, is he... is he... I mean will he die?" she started to panic.

"No, no... I don't think so... we'll have to wait until the surgery is over... but don't worry." he took her hand to calm her down.

She nodded and looked at the smiling face of the doctor standing by her bed.

"Can I ask you something?" Mark finally asked.

"Yes..."

"You said your parents wouldn't care..." he looked away, again, as if she was ashamed."... what makes you think that?"

"They never did, I was raised by a nanny and saw my parents every now and then... They didn't want the other people to know about me... When someone came to visit them I had to spend some time outside the house... with my nanny, I didn't have any other friends..." Mark could tell that remembering all this made her incredibly sad.

"They hid you from other people?" that was inhuman, to let a child grow up without any social contacts beside a nanny and without the love of parents.

"Yes... and as soon as I was old enough to go to school they sent me to France to a boarding school..." she told him.

"So they did not have to worry about other people finding out they've got a daughter..." Mark ended her sentence. That didn't sound like Addison, Addison would never let a child grow up like that.

She knew what it was like to grow up being loved only by a nanny and not by her parents. That was something she would never do to another human being, at least not on purpose.

"How can parents do that to their child?" he asked more to himself than to the girl.

"My parents already had two kids and I was told that I was unwanted... so no one should know about me, because of my family's reputation..." Alyssa answered his question.

"You've got siblings? Why didn't you tell us before? We could call them, they certainly care about you, don't they?" he suggested.

"No... well I actually don't know... they don't know about me either..." apparently she was sad but you could see the slight hope in her eyes, hope that there maybe was someone who would care about her.

"But how could your parents hide you from your siblings?" he was shocked how parents could be able to do something like that to their own kid.

"They didn't live at home anymore... they were already grown up... I was alone at home..." it hurt her to talk about all this stuff. Mark didn't know what to say, this girl had had more bad experiences than anyone at her age should have had. Suddenly there was this other thought on his mind what if this girl was really related to Addison but not in the way he'd thought until now, maybe Alyssa was Addison's sister.

Maybe Addison was one of Alyssa's siblings who didn't know about her. That would mean Addison hadn't lied to him and it would mean she hadn't had the baby of someone else. That was exactly what he needed to make himself feel better. But now that that was out of his mind he realized his pity of Alyssa. He wished the he could do something to change the life she's live, to find a way to show her that there has to be someone out that, aside from himself that had concern for her. Just because everything was slowly piecing together, didn't mean that the puzzle was solve. He had a long ways to go before he was at peace.

Please tell me what you think... no matter if it's positive or negative, I apprechiate every kind of criticism!!
