The Race That changed Their Lives

The Race

Patrick's Pov

I was a race today. One of the biggest races in my life. It's not Le Mans, but it's big, so big. I'm so excited. All of the Grey's and Scandal cast are coming, it's going to be amazing. I want to win this for Ellen, Oh, and my mom is coming too, I have to pick her up in two hours at the famous L.A airport. I roll out of bed and make breakfast for us. Then I shake Ellen awake. "Wake up Ellen, we have to get up and pick my mom up at the airport." I say slightly annoyed that she's going getting up. "Okay, Okay I'm up." She says. "Let's eat breakfast, which by the way, I made for us, and then we have to pick my mom up at the airport." I say. "Thanks for breakfast, Patrick, you know, you didn't have to do this." She says. We finished breakfast and after an hour and a half we drove to the airport and pick up my mom.  We drive back, but the paparazzi was following us, they were right on our tails. I turn a corner and I don't see them anymore. "That was a close call, they were right on our tails. Let's go home, my race is at 3 :00 today, which is in an hour. I have to get ready. I drive across a dirt path, which leads to the race track. My mother and Ellen get out of the car and go meet the rest of the Grey's and Scandal cast in the audience. I get my racing gear on, find my race car and wait for the signal to go. Even though I can't see Ellen, I know she is watching, as forthe rest of the cast. Finally, a woman who looks to be about late twentys, she has the racing flag in her hand. She waves it as the signal to go. I drive my car at top speed and land in first place. The track is a little slippy, but I can do it. A car barrels on the side of my car and hits the side of my car. And all of a sudden, the controls fail and I saw a giant truck barreling towards me. A second later, I feel a giant force hit my car and I fly through the windshield, my car was toast. It was completely destroyed.

Ellen's Pov

I can't believe what just happened, the car crashed into his and he flew through the windshield. Tears ran down my face, I felt like this was all a blur. Patrick's mom was not that far off from mine. Completely sad and worried about her little boy, and I was too. I go to the exit and reach the stairs to the race track. Patrick's mom follows me closely behind, completely not caring about the rules. It seems like an eternity until I came to the car wreak, my attention only on him. I run faster than I've ever ran before, finally got to the scene. My heart broke at the sight of how much pain he's in. He's half conscious, trying desperately to keep his eyes open. He looks around, his beautiful blue eyes landing on me. "E-El" He says weakly. "Yeah, it's me Ellen, but Patrick listen, you have to stay awake. Don't close your eyes, we're all here for you. Justin, Jessica, Sandra, Katherine, T.R, everyone. So stay awake. I'll be by your side the entire time, I promise." I say. "El, I don't feet any pain. I'm dying, just stay with me." He says. Worry immediately crept inside my body. "No Paddy, you are not dying. You don't get to die ." By now, everyone is standing around the destroyed car looking at me.

My mother runs towards me, and gasped at the sight. She kneels beside Ellen and takes my hand. "Patrick, stay awake. The ambulance is coming. I love you so much, please don't die." She says. I nod. I see Kerry and Eric running towards me, I'm very close to both of them. "Are you okay Patrick?" Eric asked. Ellen glares at him. "Can you not see that he's on the ground half conscious? And he probably has some other injuries as well." She says. "El, it's okay, He's our freind." I say and take his hand. "Ellen, can you please do me a favor?" I ask. "Sure, anything." She says. "Can you please call Jillian and tell her what happened?" I asked. She nodded and runs off. "Eric, I can't feel any pain." I say. His face looked downright worried. "What do you mean?" He asked. "I don't feel any pain at all. The pain is gone." I say.

Ellen's Pov

I ran back and dial Jillian's number. She picked up after three rings.

Jillian : Hello? Who is this?

Ellen : Hi Jillian, it's Ellen. There's been an accident. Come to L.A medical care hospital immediately.

Jillian : What's going on Ellen, you're scaring me.

Ellen: Patrick was in a car accident at racing today, he's mom is here too.

Jillian : Wait, is he okay?

Ellen : Well, we don't know, but he seems okay at the moment.

Jillian : I'm coming. I'll grab the next flight to L.A and I'll be there in four hours. Oh, and say hi to Patrick's mom for me. Goodbye Ellen, see you later.

Ellen : Bye Jillian.

I hung up on Jillian and ran back to Patrick.

Eric's Pov

I was sitting beside Patrick talking to him, when all of a sudden, I had an idea. I decided to talk to him, to keep him conscious. "Hey Pat, do you remember the season one party? It was so much fun."

Flashback -

Patrick arives with me and Ellen. "Hello Patrick, Ellen and Eric! Welcome to the season one party. Katherine, T.R and Kate are here already." Shonda says. I nod and look to my left and see a giant cake, it said 'congratulations on season one'  I pour myself and Patrick a beer. Ellen poured herself some white wine and five minutes later, Isaiah Washington walked in looking pissed, about what happened  earlier in season one. The fight. He knocked Patrick unconscious, and threw glass at him. Patrick ended up unconscious and bleeding. Isaiah got fired, that's why he's pissed. Five minutes later, it was time to cut the cake. It was the best cake in my life, it tasted so good. Isaiah looked like he wanted to finish me off, kill me. But if Shonda was here, it wouldn't happen. "I tried to avoid him and talk about Tallulah, Sullivan and Darby. How high school is going for Tallulah, how Sullivan wants to be an actor and how Darby is very passionate about soccer. That's what happened the whole time at the party. It was actually very fun.

I talk to Patrick about the season one party, but when I look back at him, his eyes are closed, oh no, this isn't good, he's going to die. I pulled myself together. "HE'S UNCONSCIOUS." I scream louder than ever before. Patrick's one of my best friends, and he needs me now, more than ever.
