Hanna sat devistated on the bench outside the ER. The occasional tear falling from her eyes as she stared blankly at the ground. Mrs Minnick walked out after having a conversation with the hospital staff and sat next to her. They sat there as they waited for Eliza's father.

"I need you to take care of yourself okay?" Mrs Minnick finally said as Mr Minnick came out of the doors.

Hanna nodded as she turned to look up at Mrs Minnick.

"I can't lose you too," she told Hanna as her voice cracked, "you have people? Because you know that our house is always open."

"I know," she croaked her voice soar from tears, "I'll have people, don't worry about me okay. Take time to grieve don't rush it."

"I know kiddo," she said putting her arm around Hanna before getting up to leave, "take care."

"I will."

Numbly, Hanna changed into her normal clothes. Jackson who had been looking for her since the team got back from the accident.

"Hey there you are," he said innocently as she came through the door of the attendings lounge, "can I ask you something? It's about Eliza, cause I know I said I'd try but-"

"Stop, just stop Jack we're not gonna talk about it because there is nothing to talk about," Hanna snapped furiously pulling on her jacket.

"You're not even gonna hear what I have to say?" He argued frowning, "this is a relationship, we need to talk."

"You don't need to worry about Eliza anymore okay!" She shouted at him, turning to face him properly.

"What happened? Did you guys have a fight?" He asked looking worried.

"No, she died today, she was in the accident," Hanna told him, welling up with tears again, "she died in my arms."

"Hanna," he almost whispered before grabbing her and holding her tight.

She sobbed silently into his chest as they stood there in the quiet.
