Over, and Over Again

Chapter 3: Survivors

Meredith Grey POV

He shot me in the same freaking leg as the plane pieces were in. I sit up and look at the wound. It didn't go through and through so I need to try and get the bullet out, so I can wrap my leg.

I open my bag and pull out a shirt that I left in there and put in my mouth. I sit up more and take a deep breath then I use my finger to spread the wound and put them in to find the bullet. It hurts like hell and I start to get dizzy. I scream I muffled scream into the shirt as I find the bullet and take it out.

Once it's out, I throw it to the side of me, take the shirt out of my mouth and use that wrap my leg. I take big deep breaths and lay back for a second.

I then push myself to stand up and I limp-hop over to a tree and grab a big stick that I can use as a cane type thing. I start to head head over to the plane when I see a person come around from the other side. I freeze but when I realize it's Penny I lighten up. 

"Meredith!" She exclaims.

"Penny! I'm glad your okay." I say. She has a big gash on her forehead and there's tear streaks down her face of ash, dirt and blood.

"Is your husband okay?" I ask and she stands there with a sad look on your face signaling he's dead.

"What about your son?"

"H-he's not dead, but he's unconscious I was hoping you could help him."

"Yeah of course I can." I say and follow to the other side of the plane.

I see her son, Kyle laying on the ground and her husband, Danny still in his seat but his head in bent backwards and there's a big gash in his neck. I stare at him thinking that was my seat and I should have been sitting there not him. If I was sitting there he wouldn't have died. I would have. Penny sees me looking at Danny and turns to look at me.

"That isn't your fault." She says.

"If I was in that seat he wouldn't have died. Penny I'm so sorry." I say and she comes up and gives me a hug.

"It's okay. It's good your alive because your a surgeon and you can help." We pull away and we head over to her son. I give him a small examination and find out he defiantly has a brain bleed.

"He has a brain bleed and the only way to make sure he lives is... making bur holes in his scull. Which means I have to put holes in your sons scull to relive the pressure or else he will die." I say and Penny gives a shake her head to tell me to do it.

I open my bag and pull out my two first aid kits so I can look for something sharp to use. I find a syringe hoping it will work. I'll have to stick it back in and out to get all the blood out though. I get the syringe all ready then I find a pair of gloves to put on and I start to get his head ready. I make the incision with a scalpel I found and start the surgery.

When I'm at his scull I take the syringe, find where I need to put it and place it above the part that I do. I push in very carefully and I get through the scull without puncturing the brain. The syringe fills up with blood and I pull it out.

I do this about 7 more time each time, fortunately, missing the brain.

"There that should be okay for now. He might wake up but he'll need to keep his head as still as possible and he'll be in a lot of pain." I say and Penny nods her head.

"Do you want me to stitch up that gash on your forehead for you?" I ask her.

"Uh yeah that's would be great thank you."

I clean up around Kyle and start to get a needle and thread out to stitch her up. I have her lean against a rock and  I first clean her forehead. Then I begin fixing her head.

"There you go all done." I say as I finish.

"Thank you so much."

"No problem." I say back. I clean up everything and put in all back in my bag.

"So tell me about yourself." She says as I'm finishing hacking my bag back up.

"Well like I said I work at Seattle Grace Mercy West as  a general surgeon. I have a husband who is a surgeon as well but specializes in neuro which is the brain and then I have my beautiful baby girl." I say and smile at the end.

"Yeah but what else. Like what do you do with your free time? What do you like do? What are your friends and family like?"

"Well I'm either working, eating, sleeping or taking car of Zola. I like to be with my friends, family and co-workers. My best friend her name in Cristina and she gets me so well. We're called the twisted sisters because we're both dark and twisty. She's my person you know." I say.

"Yeah that's how me and Emily were, she's my friend that I was planning attend the funeral of." She says with a sad chuckle and we just sit there for a moment.

"I'm going to go see if I can find anymore survivors." I say and stand up, but once I do I feel a powerful wave of dizziness swoop over my and lean on the side of the plane to prevent me from falling over.

"You okay?" Penny asks.
"Yeah I'm fine its just the uh bloodloss." I say while taking my hand off then plane then I collapse to the ground unconscious.
