A Kind Girl In A Cruel World (Grey's Anatomy AU)

Chapter Twenty

-George-
After we had our pizza, Lara and I went back to our yurt to try and get some sleep.
"Are you tired?"
I looked at her, and she was laying next to me.
"Not really. Are you?"
"No." I sighed.
"Want to go cruise around town?"
"Why don't we just stay here til tomorrow?"
I kissed Lara, and she pulled me down on top of her.
"Do you remember the last time you were in this position?"
She bit her lip and looked into my eyes.
"It's been awhile." I laughed.
I put my hands in between her thighs, and she gasped.
I started kissing her neck, and she moaned softly.
"Make love to me, George." she whispered.
I picked her up and pushed her against the wall.

Lara and I woke up the next morning, and this cute little smile spread over her face.
"Good morning, beautiful." I whispered against the back of her neck.
"Good morning. I can't believe I fell asleep."
"Yeah, you fell asleep while I was making love to you."
"Did I? I'm so sorry."
"It's alright. Maybe we can try it again."
"Not right now. It's already eleven. We have to be at the event center before noon if we want to take that tour."
"Oh, that's right!" I exclaimed.
Lara got up, and she was trying to keep covered with the blanket.
"You are so beautiful." I sighed.
"No, I'm really not."
She looked at the floor, and her cheeks turned red.
"Yes, you are. Why don't you believe that?"
I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"I never told anyone this, but I was in a long emotionally and physically abusive relationship. He completely broke me and ruined my self esteem and... just about everything else."
"Oh, Lara... did you tell anyone?"
"I tried to tell my mom. I thought she would understand, because she's been through the same thing, but she didn't believe me."
"Why?"
"Everyone believed that Eric was perfect. He acted so nice in front of everyone, but when we got home..."
"That explains all the scars on your body." I pointed out.
"Yeah. He'd get pretty violent sometimes."
"How'd they figure it out?" I asked.
"He gave me a black eye the night before we went to a work party, and Dr. Shepherd talked to me about it. I told him the truth, and he told me he'd take care of it. I was so relieved to get it off my chest, especially after keeping all my emotions bottled up for so long. I had a breakdown in the restroom after that." Lara sighed heavily.
"It's okay, Lara. I'd never do that to you."
I kissed her shoulder, and she smiled softly.
"I know. What did I do to deserve an amazing person like you?"
She ran her fingers through my hair.
"I ask myself that same question everyday."
I took one of her hands and kissed it a few times.
"I love you."
Tears started running down her cheeks, and I wiped them away.
"I love you too. Nothing will ever change that."
"Are you sure?"
"One-hundred percent." I assured her.
After Lara and I had our little talk, we got dressed and got ready to go on our tour of Ireland.

"Oh, it's such a beautiful day." Lara sighed and breathed in the dewy morning air.
"Yeah. I think I could live here."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Why don't we move here?" I suggested.
"Are you crazy, George? We can't just move to another country. What about our friends and family, and my dogs? What about our jobs?"
"We can bring your dogs here. And our family and friends can come see us."
"That's... no, we can't do that."
"Okay, but if you didn't have anything keeping you in Seattle, I know you'd move here in a heartbeat."
"You're right, I would. If I wanted to start my life over, this is probably where I would go." Lara agreed.
Once we got to the event center, the tour bus was already there, so we gave them our tickets and hopped on.
