Chapter Two

The immense headache he felt made him swear that he would never drink again. The weird part was thinking how he must have really over done it because he couldn't even remember drinking let alone getting wasted.

He struggled with the slits of his eyes to slowly allow them to open and see where he was. Unfortunately opening his eye didn't do much good. All he could see through the blurriness was red flashing lights and he paused for a moment, "stars" he whispered.

The EMT attending to him heard his patient speak, which was always a good sign.

"Sir, can you hear me"

Damn, Derek cringed at the loud voice that penetrated his skull.

"Sir, can you tell me your name?"

"Derek" struggled "where, where am I?"

"Sir, you have been involved in an auto accident, can you tell me your full name?"

"Derek, Dr. Derek Shepherd I work at Seattle Grace Hospital"

Derek tried to move his head to look for someone. He knew he should be looking for someone.

"Sir, Dr. Shepherd I need you to stay still. Okay you need to lie still" The EMT noticed that his patient was becoming agitated.

"My wife" Derek yelled, "my wife and my sister in law, where are they? They were in the car with me!"

The EMT looked at the scene and then at his partner. So far they were able to extract a female passenger from the front seat, but they were still trying to get the passenger out from the back.

"Please, tell me about my wife, her sister, are they okay?"

Derek tried to lift himself from the gurney, but the EMT held him down, surprised at Derek's strength.

"Dr. Shepherd, listen to me, you have to listen to me and lie still. You suffered severe trauma and your attempts at movement can make your situation a lot worse."

"Then tell me about my family. You want me to listen to you then for god's sake just tell me how are they?"

The EMT sighed "We were able to remove a female from the front passenger side. She was unconscious, but alive and is already on her way to Seattle Grace. We were able to get to her first"

Derek exhaled with some relief. Meredith was alive and on her way to receive treatment. This was good he reasoned. He made eye contact with the EMT, who was silent and was not volunteering further information.

"My sister in law, she was in the back seat" was all Derek said.

The EMT nodded "The severity of the impact from the collision was received primarily from the rear and were still trying to get her out".

The EMT motioned for his partner to help move Derek into the ambulance. As they lifted him up into the ambulance Derek was able to see a wide view of the accident. Tears filled his eyes as he saw the condition of his vehicle that was now sandwich and severely bent. Fear leaped to his chest knowing that Lexie was still in there.

"Lexie Grey" Derek spoke.

"What?"

"My sister in law, her name is Dr. Lexie Grey; please you have to get her out. Please".

The EMT stopped one of the rescue works rushing back to the crash site.

"Hey" he shouted "The woman in the vehicle her name is Dr. Lexie Grey"

The rescue worker nodded and ran towards the crash site. The EMT jumped into the ambulance and began the urgent ride to Seattle Grace.
