Meredith And Nathan: fight for your L(ife)ove

One

Don't pick up the phone.

Don't pick up the phone if you don't wanna hear what the other has to say, or if you are not ready. Literally and metaphorically. Just don't...
-Mer? This is April. He has a massive brain bleed so we are gonna have to take him to the OR right away.
-Should we go?
-You should yeah, you might need to sign some papers, you know, stating... facts.
-Crap... - I whispered-ok we are going now.
-Amelia! We have to go now! They are taking him to the OR
-But who's the neuro on call?
-They called Koracick, he is operating on him.
-Ok, let's move- she said.
I won't lie, I knew she was nervous, but all I could do was to stay calm. For her, and for me.
Owen would be fine, or at least that's what we wanted to believe...
By the time we arrived at the hospital, April had left the OR, she saw us and told us that the massive bleeding was being suctioned successfully. But we would have to wait and see. At this point 24 hours had passed since the incident. This was starting to get out of our hands, creepier and creepier.
This was too scary, I needed to run, run as fast as I could. I headed to a supply closet and hid in the shadows of the shelving.
Nathan was around and saw me running, practically panicking and hiding in the closet.
-Hey, shhh don't worry, everything will be alright. He will get out of this, we will overcome this together, as a family. Ok?
-Ok, but I just keep thinking, what if Amelia is left all on her own with Leo? How is she gonna raise him? I don't want her to go through the same thing I had to go through with Ellis. I was alone, I felt lonely. But then Amelia and Maggie gave me all of their support. But I have always been tough, she is weak.
-But so are you though. You let everything affect you although you don't show it on your face. You always smile and say you are fine. But you are not. Because under that hardcore, you are weak. But it's not a bad thing. At some point you gotta release. Release all that pressure. Got it?
-Thank you Nathan. I love you
-I love you more.
