Growing up the way I did, I used to think that I did something to deserve the crappy childhood, the father leaving, the mother that wasn't really a mother, I was a kid I didn't know any better then to think that it was all my fault. As a teenager I was angry, I would blame my parents. But now I had finally gotten to a point where I was truly happy, which I knew was too good to be true.
~(Derek's POV)~
"Yes. I think they are. Okay you stay here and I'm gonna check out the guy on the ground over there" I explained to her, gesturing over to the man 100m away, my priority was to keep Meredith and the baby safe, but this guy was seriously injured "okay, I'll come and help" she quickly responded, standing up once again "no, Meredith you have to stay here, you need to stay here. Please" I said and she nodded sitting down behind the car wheel.
I ran over, quietly in case he came back or if he shot again. "Hi, I'm a doctor can I take a look at you?" I asked the man with a brown beard, who was injured on the ground with a bullet shot near the collar bone, the man nodded in response "okay... it looks to me like it went through and through. So you're gonna be fine" I talked the man through what I was doing as I turned him over and took off his shirt.
I had now entered the building to get some supplies, Meredith, against my instruction helped the man walk with a piece of his shirt pressed to his shoulder behind me. We tried to walk as quiet as possible towards the elevators.
~(Meredith's POV)~
Me and the injured man followed Derek into the elevator, we all stood in silence until we heard another two gunshots, I shot a worried look at Derek and he comforted it with a protective one.
The elevator bell rang as we got off it, we walked quietly into an exam room, I laid the man onto a bed and then closed the door. I rushed around the room trying to find supplies that would help this guy. Derek continued to press the rag to his wound, I handed him some gauze and alcohol. "You're gonna need another rag too" Derek told me, I looked him confused "why?" he took off the rag and started to open the alcohol "because we don't have access to drugs, so this is gonna hurt a lot. The rag is for his mouth, and I need you too hold it in place" I nodded and the grabbed one, stuffing it into his mouth. "Okay, 3, 2, 1 now" he said and then the man let out a muffled scream, quiet but still loud enough that someone could hear so I stuffed it in more and the scream got quieter.
We sat on the chairs beside the man, whose name was Greg Norris' bedside. "So what are we gonna do, just wait here until someone gets us?" I asked Derek, he let his head rest on the back of the chair, "no, he's still losing blood until we get him properly treated, we need to get him out of here" he answered looking at me and then at Greg. We sat in silence until someone knocked on the door, I looked a Derek so he got up and looked through the little window at the top of the door, "who is it?" I whispered "it's Alex" he whispered back, he knocked again "someone please let me in" Alex said and the Derek let him in, quickly closing the door. Alex was out of the breath, he had probably been running, he looked at me and I tilted my head, wondering what was wrong, "the-the shooter... he's-he's on the floor" he finally let out, Derek ran over to the door and then quickly ducked down.
Derek kept looking through and then immediately ducking it down again, "is he right there?" I whispered, Derek replied with a nod, I took a breath out and then hid in the corner of the room, and Alex was right beside Derek. Once in awhile Derek would look over to me making sure I was all right, it made me feel better, safe. We heard more gunshots, and screaming as the shooter made his way closer to us. My hand subconsciously drifted to the bottom of my stomach, lightly rubbing. I kept checking my phone, hoping that the service would be fulfilled out of the blue, so I could call 911, but there was no luck.
"He's gonna need new bandages soon" Derek said gesturing towards Greg, Alex got up from where all three of us were now sitting against the door "I can change them" he volunteered. Derek rubbed my knee as he spoke "how are you feeling?" he asked, concerned the this wasn't good for the baby "I fine, the baby is fine, we both are. How about you?" I answered, using my hands when I spoke, he shock his head at me "Derek, I'm okay. I should be the least of your worries" I told him. His eyes looked right into mine "you are always gonna be the one thing I always worry about Meredith" Derek confessed, and I started to blush, "I'm gonna throw up" Alex said and we laughed.
~(Alex's POV)~
We had been waiting in this room for over 2 hours, surely we'd be fine to leave right? I took a look through the window "we're good to go right? I mean he's probably gone by now" I hinted to the both of them, "Alex, I don't want to risk it" Derek responded, looking at Meredith. While I did make fun of their relationship, I was also a little jealous that they a true and honest relationship, something that I need had. "So what? We're gonna wait half an hour, an hour, three because if we don't get this guy more help then he's definitely gonna die" I harshly explained to them, "I'm gonna die?" the injured guy asked frantically sitting up, I rolled my eyes, I did not know that he could hear me, "good going Karev" he exclaimed sarcastically, he then went over and spoke to the patient "I'm sorry sir....." was all I heard until I fell asleep.
~2 hours later~
I felt nudging, which turned into pushing and awoken me from sleeping, "have a good nap?" Meredith asked me and then started giggling, I got up to see that there was someone to escort us out of the building, we walked along the catwalk my eyes looking at the back of Derek until I left pain in my left arm and then yelling, the ceiling was all I saw until my eyes closed.
Happiness isn't something that be used up, you can never have too much of it either. But there is a price to happiness... it never lasts.
AN: Hey guys. Oh my god I missed writing so much you guys don't even know. I know it's been awhile and I'm sorry that I'm not as active as I said I would be, which bothers me just as much as it does you guys, so I'm gonna try to work on that.
