Liliana's pov

"You tired?" Jackson asks as he helps me into bed.

"Yes, I forgot how much energy it takes to walk." I say making Jackson laugh.

"Well, you've been stuck in a hospital bed almost 24/7, so everything's probably going to be a little tiring for a little while." He says as he gets into bed with me.

"I know." I sigh.

"The important thing is you're alive and back home where you belong." He reminds me.

"You're right, I'm just sick of always being tired and sore." I say. The worst thing about being shot in the abdomen is that since your abdomen is used for pretty much everything, any time I moved even a little bit it hurt like hell.

"You're going to be back to normal before you know it." Jackson says kissing me on the forehead.

"I know." I yawn.

"You're sleepy. Get some rest sweetheart." He says wrapping me into his arms.

"Okay." I say before drifting asleep a short while later.

"Gosh I wish we knew who he was so we could call his family. This guy just got hit by a bus and he has no one" I say talking to Owen, Callie, and Derek.

"I know I would hate to be alone in his condition." Derek sighs,. We had just finished doing surgery on our John Doe who had been hit by bus and he was still in critical condition

"Hey did you talk to Bailey. She said George already left to go tell his mom he's joining the army." Callie says giving Owen the evil eye since he was the one who brought the idea up to George in the first place.

"She told me. I just needed to finish up this surgery. I'm about to drive to his moms now and try to talk some sense into him." I say.

"O'malley is an adult he can make his own decisions." Owen says.

"George is not meant to be in the army. I respect you and everyone else who are brave enough to go fight for this country, but George is my best friend, my person. He's the one I can wake up at 3 in the morning for the stupidest problems, but he'll still stay up with me to listen and comfort me, he's the one who keeps me positive when the world is falling down, he is the best person I know and I just can't lose him I can't let him go over there and risk his life so even though he is an adult and he can make decisions for himself I am going to drive to his moms house and beg and plead if I have to keep my best friend safe, to keep him in Seattle with me." I say. The thought of George being in harms way made feel sick and I was going to do everything that I could to keep him here and safe. I just hoped I would be able to change his mind. I was about to walk away until I heard Meredith's voice from down the hall.

"It's George. It's George. It's George. John Doe is George." She said. Shock ran through my body hearing those words. We all took off to his room, where his monitors were going off.

"He needs to go back into surgery now." Owen says, before we rush him to the OR. I grab his hand and go with them as they push his hospital bed down the hallway.

"We have you O'malley, we have you. We'll fix this just stay with us." Owen said.

"You're going to be fine George, Okay? We're here, we're all here for you." I say as we enter the OR doors and get ready to operate.

"O'malley, it's Shepherd. You're not going anywhere" Derek says entering the OR.

"BP's dropping." I panic looking at the monitor.

"Put him out now." Derek tells the anesthesiologist.

I sit there and hold his hand as Derek begins to operate.

"Garcia, are you sure you want to be in here right now?" Derek asks me

"Yeah, I'm not leaving him." I say. "George you're going to be fine. You're the strongest person I know. You're way stronger than I am which is why you can't die because I'm not strong enough to handle it. You're the closest thing I have to a brother, you're the person who keeps me sane in this crazy world no matter how stressed I am. I love you George so you need to make it." I sigh blinking back tears.

A couple of seconds pass by and we start losing him.

"We're losing him." Owen says making my heart drop.

They rush to try to save him, but I see Derek stop and give me a sympathetic look as his ICP shoots up.

"Why, why are you stopping?" I frown.

"Liliana." Derek sighs.

"No, Derek you're the best. You save people all the time, so save George! Fix him!" I scream.

"I'm so sorry but, there's nothing else we can do." Derek says.

"Does anyway know if he's a donor?" Owen sighs as Callie starts to hyperventilate.

"No, no don't give up on him he's not dead he can't be dead." I scream, I feel like life is playing some type of cruel joke I just saw George earlier today he can't be dead.

Derek tries to hug me to calm me down, but I don't want to be touched. I want George, all I want is George. I run out of the OR hysterical, bumping into Chief and Bailey and not looking back, I just needed to get out of that OR. I walk into the locker room and sit beside George's locker in tears.

"Dammit O'malley." I cry.

"Baby wake up" Jackson says waking me up from my nightmare.

"Where's George?" I ask sitting up.

"Sweetheart you were having a bad dream again. It was a dream." He says says wiping my tears that had fallen. Since the shooting I've been having nightmares almost every night, mostly about my mom, George, or Izzie. I just kept dreaming about them dying again.

"It seemed so real, like he was dying all over again." I sigh.

"It's okay." Jackson says caressing my face. "You just lost Izzie and you went through a major trauma.!George was your best friend it's normal to think of him and wish he was here, especially during times like this."

"Yeah, I just miss him" I sigh laying my head on Jackson's chest.

"I know you do." He says wrapping his arms around me. We lay there in silence until I manage to drift back off to sleep a couple of minutes later finding comfort being wrapped in Jackson's arms.
