Unexpected Love (Editing)

Chapter 109

Hey you guys! Before I start this chapter I just want to thank you guys for all of the well wishes you left in the last chapter! Thankfully the storm didn't do much damage in my city and my family and I are all doing well.

"Hi. You've reached Dr. Shepherd. Please leave a message and I will return your call" Derek's voicemail says before beeping for me to leave a message

"Hey. I was just calling, because the White House called and talked to Meredith and they said you never made it to D.C. yet. Your flight probably just got delayed or something, but you should probably call them when you get a chance and call me, so that I know you're safe" I sigh before hanging up. I hear a door opening and I notice a bunch of residents running through the hallway towards the E.R.

"What is going on" I frown

"There was a plane crash" one of the residents says, before they continue down the hallway. Hearing those words made me feel like my heart stopped for a second as I thought about my own experience in a plane crash, but I quickly refocused my thoughts and followed the residents to the E.R.

"You can handle this" I try to assure myself as I walk into the crowded E.R., but I couldn't control my train of thought as I heard the screams and cries of the patients being worked on. It made me feel like I was back out there stranded in the woods again. Memories that I wish I could forget began to rush through my mind. I got flashbacks of when I first gained consciousness out there and Derek's screams as I worked on his hand, and Mark groaning in pain as I worked on him. Looking over at a woman with crush injuries made me think of when I saw Lexie's dead body crushed under the plane.

"Garcia, I need you over here" Owen says as he brings in another patient

"O...okay" I nod following behind him to an E.R. room. I still couldn't completely gather my thoughts, but I had a job to do, so I had to keep it together and keep moving. Even though on the outside I'm sure I looked fine, on the inside I wasn't. My mind just kept racing. I continued to think about how cold it was when we were stranded out there and how much pain I was in, and how I kept having to do CPR on Mark through the night and hoping that he wouldn't die out there. I was just completely overwhelmed by my thoughts at this point. I was so relieved when I finally finished helping Owen with our patient, so I could get out of the room and go somewhere quiet, away from everyone else and pull myself together. I rushed to the nearest on call room and closed the door behind me before sitting down and laying my head in my hands as I tried to calm down. All I wanted right now was to talk Derek. Derek is the only person I really talk to whenever I have flashbacks from the crash. I guess since he was by my side from the moment I woke up out there, he's just been my go to person to talk to about it. At first when we woke up after the crash, we didn't know if everyone else was dead or alive. It was just us. All that we had for those first couple of moments was each other. I hated how I felt right. A million horrible memories were running through my head, my heart was racing, and I felt like my head was spinning. I just felt so overwhelmed. It was like I was trapped in my own thoughts. I didn't even realize that memories from the plane crash could still affect me like this. Most of the time I was able to deal with them better then I was dealing right now. I heard the door to the room open, making me look up and I see Jackson standing there.

"Hey" he says closing the door behind him before he walks over to me

"There was a plane crash" I sigh shakily as my tears I didn't even know I was holding back began to fall

"Come here" he says pulling me into a hug. "You're okay, sweetheart. You're safe" he assures me

"It feels like I'm back out there. Like I'm stuck out there again and I can't get out" I sniffle
