Love In the O.R •Jackson Avery•

Chapter 4*

Sorry for the choppy chapter. Enjoy!

Samantha's POV

A lot has happened in the last month since the shooting. I found out Alex got shot and was literally on the brink of death in an elevator. Soon after Alex got out of the hospital for his bullet wound, which by the way he did not get taken out yet, he found out about me paying Izzie's medical bills that she left for him when she up and left. Oh! I also moved into Meredith's house, seeing as I have been in the hospital since I've been here and never had time to look for an apartment. But it just seems fitting seeing as both Alex and Jackson live with her. Speaking of Jackson, we finally made it official...and Christina and Owen recently got engaged. I'm pretty sure the wedding is this week.

Last but not least, my casts finally came off so I am officially cleared for work...well if the shrink clears me.

I'm standing with Jackson and Lexie in my new scrubs as we wait for Derek to arrive.

The doors open and in walks Derek with April by his side, Meredith and Christina trailing behind them. Everyone begins to clap, glad that Derek is back and okay. Derek moves to stand on the stairs getting ready to make his speech.

"Ah yes, thank you. It's good to be back. First of all, I'd like to thank Dr. Webber for stepping in and being chief, so thank you," We all clap before Derek continues. "I'm grateful for all of you, for all of your support during my recovery, thank you. It's just so great to be back...be back as chief. I'm grateful for..." Derek stops talking as he studies the X-ray in his hands. "I'm sorry...that's a lie. That's what people say. But the truth is...I hate being chief," He states, my eyes widening in shock as murmurs start to travel among the staff. "Did you know about this?" I question Lexie and Jackson as Derek continues to talk but I don't pay him any attention. "No," Lexie breathes as a smile starts to form on her face before we both burst into a fit of giggles, feeling eyes on us.

"Shh," Jackson chuckles moving his hand to cover my mouth. I dart my tongue out, licking Jackson's hand causing him to quickly remove his hand. He quirks an eyebrow at me, a cheeky smirk forming on his face.

I childishly stick my tongue out at him, raising my eyebrows as a challenge.

"I'd put that tongue back in your mouth unless you plan on using it for something useful," Jackson whispers in my ear, his hot minty breath fanning across the side of my face causing me to shiver lustfully. I put my tongue back in my mouth, my eyes widening in shock at his words just before Derek spoke his last.

"I quit."

"So you're a new resident, yes?" The shrink asks me as I sit in the chair in a big empty conference room. "Yes. I was originally a patient here because of a car accident, but I'm all better now," I fake a smile as my foot taps impatiently on the ground, just wanting to get out of there. "I'd like to talk about the incident if that's okay with you," I nod wordlessly, waiting for him to ask his next question. "Talk to me. What were you feeling?" He asks flashbacks running through my head. "Um...I was scared. I mean one of my friends had a miscarriage and we were held at gunpoint while trying to save her husband's life. I mean I couldn't do anything, I still had my casts on...and the man that I possibly love was held at gunpoint while he and Christina tried saving Derek's life," I rant feeling my heart thumping in my chest as the recent event plays in my head.

"Plus finding out my brother was shot and bleeding out in an elevator isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows."
