Kate's POV

God that gorgeous looking man annoys me, there's just something about him that screams total control and I'm sorry but I'm used to being in control, not that I feel like it at the moment.

I brought my study notes and some of Ana's that I found on her desk (and her favourite copy of Tess of the D'Urbervilles) because I thought there might be some waiting around but I had no idea it was going to be like this. I really hope Ana is going to be ok but why won't anyone tell us anything?

"Come on Jose, let's go see if our blood is compatible with Ana's, Grey said that she is going to need more and she has a distinct or different blood type." And I can't help but think it is angel blood type because she has always been the sweetest person I have ever known, she is more a sister to me than just a roommate and I would do anything for her.

I can't stand knowing that it is my fault that she went to do that interview and I shudder to think that I might have been lying in that bed instead of her. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that Ana is ok but she is going to be so upset about missing her finals, there's no way that she is going to be able to take them and I don't know what she is going to do.

If she doesn't graduate, she won't be able to move to Seattle with me – I know, I'll just get dad to keep paying for our unit so that she can stay there, oh this is just terrible, I can't live without Ana in my life, she is more than a sister to me because I love her like a sister and I don't have any rivalry with her, she is just the best friend anyone could ask for, in every way. I can't imagine her alone having to redo the subjects at WSU by herself although Jose will still be there for her.

I wonder how she is going to cope with all the injuries, I know she can look after herself, she has always been so self-sufficient that I forget how much she must need help but never asks. I don't know how long they are going to keep her here and what she is going to have to do – oh I wish I knew what was going on. I hope my blood type is compatible because it would be great if I could help her this way, it'd be all sorts of cool to be blood sisters.

We walk together into the blood unit, "Oh god, Jose, look how big that needle is" I squeal but he just looks at me with those lost eyes – he really hasn't said much since I told him that Ana was in hospital because of the accident and was in a critical condition and I know he is blaming me as well.

Just as I think he is going to say something along those lines he shocks me with "What if Ana isn't beautiful anymore?" At my startled glance he continues "Ana's always been so beautiful but what happens if she is all disfigured, she has always been so beautiful, I couldn't be around her without being repulsed every time I look at her."

"Owww, whadya do that for?" I hear Jose say as though through a red fog and I realise that my hand is stinging and Jose is rubbing his face.

"You can just go – I don't want you here or near Ana if that's what you think" I scream at him.

Here I was thinking he was in love with Ana even though it was never encouraged or reciprocated and would do anything for her and then he goes and says that.

"Go! I don't want to see you anymore, I will find my own way back to Vancouver, I don't need your ride and Ana sure as hell does not need you around if that is your attitude." I barely take a breath and scream "No, I will not listen, just get the fuck out of here" and Jose turns around and simply walks out.

I can't believe it and bury my head in my hands sobbing at the betrayal I feel when someone puts a hand on my shoulder, rubs gently and says "Are you ok? Can I do anything for you? Here are some tissues, would you like a drink? Anything?" and as the sobs shudder to a stop, I look up into the concerned face of a gorgeous blonde haired stranger.

"Elliot's my name" he says as he extends his hand "I'm sorry, I heard the end of that conversation, were you talking about Ana Steele?" and it must have been the shocked look on my face that makes him add "my brother has been calling everyone he knows to come in and be tested to see if they are a blood match. He sounded like she means the world to him even though I've never heard of her and .."

Before he has a chance to say anything else I ask, "Are you Christian Grey's brother?".

"Yep, lucky bastard, isn't he?" he says with a chuckle and I can't help but laugh and be charmed by him. "Kate Kavanagh" I say, holding out my hand.

"But how do you know Miss Steele? And who was that fellow?" He asks and I say that we are roommates and best friends and that Jose was a friend. He says "Ok, so what's the story with Christian and Ana then? He wouldn't tell me anything".

I can't believe how comfortable I feel with him and I just shrug and say, "I don't know. I was supposed to come to Seattle yesterday and interview him for the student paper but I was too sick to do it so I asked Ana to fill in for me. She didn't even know he existed and I didn't get a chance to fill her in on any information about him and then she had the accident on the way home. So I don't know what happened between the two of them at all."

Elliot whistles and says "Well, my bro has it bad, I've never seen him interested in a girl and yet today when he called, I could tell, I could just tell" he says with his voice trailing off and shaking his head as if in disbelief. I really need to hear that interview tape to see if I can work out what is going on.

He then continues with "Well, let's get tested and hopefully we'll both be able to help. Apparently Christian was a match but since we're all adopted, it doesn't mean that I will match as well, it'd be nice though because our mom likes her as well." And at my questioning glance he says "She's a doctor and was here when Ana came in and because of Christian, she is still involved in Ana's care".

Elliot's POV

As I walk into the testing room I go across to fill in the forms and am barely paying attention to the fellow and blonde haired girl sitting there with their backs to me. As I finish writing and turn, I hear the fellow say something quite disturbing and I see the blonde girl react with a scowl and a stinging slap across his face and then screaming at him to leave. Obviously what he said had a huge impact on her and I can't stand that someone as feisty as her is now sitting there sobbing like her heart is going to break.

After calming her down I can see that she is gorgeous, she looks like she needs looking after and since I wouldn't mind spending some time with her I realise that by being there for Christian, I may actually benefit as well.

We have our tests and the nurse says that we'll know within the hour whether we are compatible so I suggest getting a bite to eat while we wait. When Kate says that Christian said that Ana was still in surgery and she couldn't see her until this afternoon, I decide that I will take the rest of the afternoon off, have lunch with Kate and then see if I can come in and see Ana as well. Quite frankly I want to meet the girl… anyone that has captured Christian's heart, whether he knows it or not, is worth meeting.

I can't believe how much I like Kate and we spend the next 2 hours eating and chatting about the fact that she is moving to Seattle after graduation, this fact saddens her again because she explains that because of the accident she thinks that Ana won't graduate – I won't mention that I am thinking Christian could probably do something about that because I don't know if he can but I decide I'll make sure to tell him. I love the fact that she is moving to the Pike Market District, it isn't far from Christian's place and it will give me an excuse to catch up with him more, I realise that I have let that slide lately as we have both become busier.

Then the call comes through about the blood test and we move outside together to hear above the noise and unfortunately neither of us are compatible. At that news Kate crumples a little "She's like a sister to me, I'd do anything for her".

I take her in my arms and turn her to face me and she just leans in and sobs into my chest. Wow, that I didn't expect, but I'll take it, it feels nice comforting her and I say, as I brush the tears off her cheeks, "Let me ring Christian and see if we can go in yet, I'm sure it will be better once you can see her".

Before I have the chance to take my phone out of my pocket, Kate's phone rings and she looks at the caller id and cutely cocks her head and says "Kate Kavanagh speaking" and then breathlessly, "Oh thank you Mr Grey, we'll come straight in" and she hangs up. She grabs hold of my hand and says happily "We can go in" and pulls me towards the lift.

The look on Christian's face when I walk in holding hands with Kate… is priceless!
