"Come here" Connor said sitting on the couch with his arms open

"I lost a mom today" I added as I sat in his lap and his arms wrapped around me

"It's never easy, but I bet you did everything you could to save her" Connor said as he played with my hair

"Her baby is fine, I handed her beautiful little girl over to Peds. She doesn't have a mom con! And it's my fault!" I yelled as he pulled me close

"It's not your fault babe" He whispered

I had been dating Connor for almost 3 years now and I was head over heels for him. I had been an OBGYN doctor for 6 years now and I loved my job. I loved helping new moms and helping them get to know their little ones. However this was the part of the job that didn't sit well with me. I had a tendency to blame myself for everything even though none of it was actually my fault. Connor helped me through all that.

"I'm going to bed" I said as I got up and wiped the tears from my face

"Don't shut me out" Connor said as I turned around

"I don't shut you out Connor! I just deal with things on my own!" I yelled before stepping into my bedroom

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, me and Connor are the most stubborn people you will ever meet. Which is why we keep things to ourselves. I don't talk to Connor and Connor doesn't talk to me, that's just how it's always been.

It's a few days later and I'm sat in the break room when Ethan walks in

"Hey!" I said as I took a sip of my coffee

"Are you and Connor still a thing?" Ethan asks

"Yeah, why?" I ask

"Rumour has it he's gonna leave you" Ethan adds as I feel my heart drop

"Who told you that? Will? He's had it out for con since day 1!" I argued

It's a week later and everything has pretty much been the same. However Connor has been acting weird, he left work early today and I assumed that he was just feeling down. I then arrived home

"Baby?" I yelled as I dumped my bags at the door

There was no answer

"Connor?!" I yelled again, checking all the rooms in the house

But he was no where to be seen, until I came across a letter sitting on the counter. I picked it up and started reading

Dear Y/N

I love you with all my heart but I can't do this anymore, I can't be in Chicago! Everything is going wrong from my dad dying to will thinking that this job is a game. I really didn't want to leave like this but I couldn't face you begging me to stay. My love for you will never stop and I hope that I will run into you again.
Yours sincerely
Connor x

I felt the urge to burst into tears but felt myself holding them back. I sat on my couch completely heartbroken. Why did he leave? Did I do something wrong? I pulled out my phone and texted him

Y/N - So you get to say goodbye but yet I don't Con? But I wish you all the best

He never texted me back, I went into work the next morning acting like everything was okay. Slowly hiding my hatred for will. I was sitting upstairs in the gynaecology unit when I seen will appear at the door

"Why the hell did he leave?" Will yelled

"If I knew then I would've told you by now!" I yelled back

"What the hell did you do? Did you mess up the relationship?! I needed him!" Will yelled as he got closer to me

"If you fucking lay a hand on me, I'll make sure your out of a job!" I yelled as he backed up

"If he calls, tell him we need him here" Will explained before walking out

He never called, nor texted. But hey I got on with my life. In fact I even got offered Connors old job. I took it and now Gaffney Chicago Medical Center is number 1 on the best ranked trauma hospitals in the world. I'm one of the best trauma surgeons in the world and everything is going great. Until one day I had finished up with a surgery and overheard a conversation

"Connor!" Will said as he smiled

"Hey will" Connor said

"What are you doing back here?" Will asks

"Thought it was time to come back. Who is this new head of trauma you've got? Apparently they're really good! Ranked the hospital at number 1" Connor explained

"Well Uhm" Will said as I walked over to them

"Your looking at her" I said as I smiled

"No way" Connor said as he looked me up and down

"Connor, it's nice to see you again" I said

"Your doing my job better than I ever did" Connor added as he laughed

"Yeah well, what comes around goes back around" I said as my pager went off and I ran out
