Wake up Patrick

A/N: That's me on the bottom right.

It's been another week. Patrick's gone through two surgeries, but he's still not awake yet. I don't understand. Patrick's mom is still here though, she looks so broken and sad. Shonda's here too, and some of the strongest people such as Justin and Kevin are starting to give up on hope. Today's the last day, if Patrick doesn't wake up today, he's dead. They're going to pull the plug on him. I keep telling myself that he will wake up, but I'm not so sure anymore.

I am trying to wake up, I really am, but my eyes just won't open. It feels like they're superglued together. Anyway, all my kids Tallulah, Sullivan and Darby, plus the cast of Scandal and Grey's cast talked to me, wanting me to wake up. They started crying and that breaks my heart, I heard Ellen crying too, which hurts me even more. I am going to fight, fight for my family and my best friend Ellen Pompeo. Everyone is here, I want you to wake up. I feel better, I mean I know that I have like a million broken limbs, but I feel stronger. But today they're going to pull the plug. I'm going to be dead.

This is not okay. Patrick is going to die, their going to pull the plug on him. Everyone is here, all of us Scandal and Grey's cast, Shonda, and Patrick's mom. My world is falling apart, on me. Sullivan, Tallulah and Darby are broken as well as everyone else. Stella is just silent,  she doesn't say anything, she's scared. But I understand, but I understand, I'm broken too.
Suddenly Stella says something. "Mommy, Is Patrick going to be okay?" She asked me, tears threating to fall down her face. "I really don't know Stella" I say sadly. "Is he going to live?" She asked me sadly. "Stella, mommy doesn't know. I love Paddy, he's my best friend, and mommy is very worried about him." I say. Sullivan suddenly comes up to me. "El, I know that you and my dad are very close, I know that you and my dad and best friends. He will be okay, I know that. If he dies Grey's Anatomy will be over and I won't have a father anymore." He cries. "Come here buddy. it's okay Patrick won't die. He'll stay for your brother and sister. You'll have a dad." I say crying myself. He jumped into my arms and hugged me tightly. Sullivan lets go off me and runs off to Patrick's mom.

I hurt. I hurt so much. I fought so much, and I won. My vision is blurry, but I can see. I look around the room to realize that I am in a hospital. The white walls don't even look happy. I hear the beeping noise and and realize that that's my heart monitor. What happened to me? Why am I in the hospital? Where's Ellen? Where's my kids? God, I am so confused. I try talking. "Ellen?" I say, but it's barely audible. "Ellen?" I asked again. it's really raspy and weak, but it came out louder, but still quiet.

All of a sudden, I heard it, I instantly detected it as Patrick's voice. He's alive. I went towards Jillian and her kids. "Hey Sully, he's alive, your daddy's alive." I say. He jumped into my arms. "Thank you Ellen." The doctor approaches us and tells us that Patrick's awake. "Let family go in first." The doctor says and walks away to check on other patients. I let his family go in first, including his mother.

People start walking into my room. My vision is blurry, but I can tell that the tall woman is Jillian. The shorter one on the left is my mom. The shortest one in the center is Tallulah. Then there's two shorter boys, Sullivan and Darby. Tallulah talks first. "Daddy, I love you so much. I was scared, scared that I was going to lose you."  She says. "I'm... sorry Tal.." I say weakly. "Sweetie, it's okay, you're okay. Mommy's here, I really thought that you were going to die." My mother says. "M..mom...I love. ..love...love you." I say half conscious. "St...sta. ..stay...he...here." I say weakly. "We will sweetie. Stay awake for us . I love you so much." My mother says. I try desperately to stay awake, but something was holding me back. "I love you all so much!" I say and slip into unconsciousness. "Mommy, what's happening with daddy?" Darby asked. "Sweetie, I don't know, but he'll be okay and he'll wake up. We have to stay here. Daddy asked us to." I heard Jillian say.

Five minutes later. . .

I wake up with blurry vision as I looked around the room. "Hello?" I called out.  "Hello? Long time no see." Jillian says. "Daddy, what happened? Why did you fall unconscious?" Tallulah asked. "I...I...I don't know...What happened? why am I in the hospital?" I asked completely confused. "Patrick, you don't remember?" Jillian asked me. "You were in a car accident. It was terrible. The whole car crashed into a giant truck and you fell through the windshield, you were covered in blood. Eric and Ellen were the first ones that got to you." Jillian says. Darby and Sullivan looked shocked. "let Ellen come in next." Jillian says. "Goodbye my sweet son." My mother says and walks away with the kids and Jillian.

Ellen walks in next. She's crying. "El...Ellen?" I called out. "Paddy, it's okay, it's just me Ellen." She says and kissed my hand. "El...Ellen...I...I love you" I say weakly. "Paddy, I know that you love me, I love you too." She says crying. "I...love...love you El..." The doctor suddenly walks in, inturupting our conversation. "Patrick, I'm really sorry, but we're going to have to cut off your leg. It has an infection in it, and its holding on by a string. We're going to have to do another surgery." He says not even caring about how I need my leg. To race, to act, to walk, to do everything. I stay silent, I scream inside, tears spilling down my face. This is not fair.
