Hey guys, I am so sorry for not updating, i've had a whole two weeks of exams and then I needed a bit of time to relax, thank you for being patient. Also thank you so much for the feedback with Meredith and Maggie, some of you wanted more Maggie, some of you wanted less or Amelia, so i will try and even it out. Anyway thank you for the reviews, follows and favourite's, enjoy the chapter.
Walking in to the hospital, I spotted Alex walking in with Jo.
"Hey Mer" Alex said as he noticed me jogging up behind them.
"Hi" Jo said turning her head to see me.
"Hey"I said to them both "Thanks for dropping my car off" I said as we walked through the hospital doors.
"It's alright, why did you need it dropping of anyway?" Alex said turning his head to look at me.
"Oh I um...I went to Joe's" Looking away from him. Do i tell him? I don't know. Of course i should, Alex's is like a brother to me, he's my new person. "I was actually on a date"
"Wait what?" They said in unison, confusing filling their faces. I couldn't help but laugh at them.
"Don't act so surprise that i can get a date" I said through laughter.
"No it just...it caught me off guard" Alex said, smiling.
...
DING!
As the doors part, I saw Nathan's face appear along with Maggie's and Bailey's. Stepping inside quickly, I placed myself next to Bailey.
"Dr Grey" Bailey said as a greeting.
"Bailey" I said in return. As I turned my head slightly to look at Nathan, I found that he was already looking at me. Quickly I turned my head away, smiling to myself.
Beep Beep!
Suddenly all four pagers went off, interrupting the silence in the elevator.
"Multi car pile up" Maggie said quickly. "At least 12 injured"
DING!
As soon as the doors opened, we all rushed out and raced to pit. Upon arriving we were greeted by Hunt, Torres and Kepner and three ambulances. The doors of the second ambulance opened first and Owen, Nathan and I all rushed too it.
Quickly the patient was pulled out of the ambulance, the first thing my eyes were drawn to was the piece of mental shrapnel piecing through their chest. The chest belonged to a 19 year old girl that had been hit directly, along with the chest injury she had sustained a blow to the head causing blood to soak her brown hair.
"Omg!" I turned around to see Wilson standing behind me. After over two years of working here, she's still seems to always be surprised by everything that comes through those doors.
"Let's get her inside, quickly!" Owen shouted, snapping out of my thoughts.
Once inside Trauma Room 2, people began rushing around and began busying themselves. Nathan and Owen busied their self's with her chest injuries, while I focused on her head. Whilst I called for someone to page Neuro, I noticed the girl open her eyes slowly. Frantically her eyes began to search her whereabouts and panic and confusion began to grow in them.
"Hey, hey" I said quickly, grabbing her attention. "You're in the hospital, you were in a car accident" The confusion and left her eyes, but her panic was still evident. "My name's Meredith, can you tell me yours?"
"H-Hol-Holly" She stammered, her voice barely understandable above all the noise.
"Holly?" I said asked, she nodded confirming it. "Okay, well hi Holly"
"We need a CT" Nathan said loudly, making sure I heard.
"Okay Holly, we're going to need to move you now."
As we moved down the corridors of the hospital, Holly suddenly gasped as if remembering something.
"M-my brother?" She asked quickly, her head turning to me. "Is he here? He was in the car" Her eyes began searching mine. "His name's Thomas but he doesn't like being called that, he prefers Tom"
"I can check, but at the moment our priority is you" She nodded.
As I walked in to the scrub room (after a 12 hour surgery to remove the shrapnel in Holly's chest) I was greeted by Nathan's weary smile.
"Hey" He said quietly and moved over so I could clean my hands.
"Hi" I replied. "Surgery went well" I stated.
"Yeah, she should live...any word on her brother?"
I nodded my head slowly "A John Doe came in, Torres and had him...he died before they could get him to an OR." Silence fell in the room.
"So Holly, the surgery went just as planned" I said informing her. Owen,Nathan and I were all stood around her hospital bed.
"Okay...so that means i'm gonna be fine right?" She asked hope filling her voice.
"Well we're going to have to keep you closely monitored" Owen answered, stepping forward. "And wait to see if an infection occurs but other than that, yes you should be fine.
Sighing heavily with relief, a smile formed on Holly's lips. "That's good then, cause for a moment there I thought I was a goner" A slight giggle escaped her lips, then abruptly her smile changed to a straight line, her brows furrowed and her eyes showed deep concern. "Did you find my brother?" Her concerned eyes turned to me "You said you would look for him..." Her eyes were now pleading.
Suddenly I remembered that she didn't know about her brother, someone had to tell her. That someone was me...Slowly I stepped towards her, my face not changing.
"Is..Is he okay? Is Tom okay?" Her voice started to tremble towards the end.
"Holly...A John Doe came in...he was in the car with you. H-He didn't make it-"
"No..NO" She interrupted, her voice shaky.
"I'm so sorry but...Tom is dead" I said wanting to not torture her any longer.
"NO..No no no no no..." She repeated "He can't be, he's Tom. H-he's Tom, he's my big brother...He's not dead" Tears had started flowing down her cheeks and her heart race started to quicken as she struggled to keep her breath even.
"Holly you need to try and keep you're heart race steady" Nathan said cautiously. Owen shot him a look.
"I-I can't breathe, I can't-He's dead!" She said finally accepting what she had just been told.
"I'm very sorry for your loss" Owen cut in, trying to move the conversation to a professional point.
"Can you all just leave please..."Her voice was quiet and full of grief. Slowly we all turned to leave, with me leading and Owen closing the door behind us.
"Okay, what the hell was that look?" Nathan said as soon as the door closed, turning to look at Owen.
"She had just been told her brother died, she wasn't going to be able to keep her heart race steady" He hissed so Holly wouldn't have heard through the wall.
"Well considering we're all doctors here, you know that if she didn't keeping her heart race and breathing steady, it could have pulled the stitching's. Come on Hunt even you know that!" Nathan spat back. "Look I know you don't like me but me saying that was simple logic."
Owen looked at him as if he was crazy "Yeah you're right...I don't like you" Then he stalked off down the corridor.
Okay so I'll be honest with you I don't really like this chapter, let me know what you think. Also please ignore any medical information that isn't correct because i'm not a doctor or anything of the sort so the only knowledge I know is from the show and that's still very little. Also again so sorry for not updating.
