Everyone sat in the waiting room, waiting for Melanie to wake up. They successfully removed the tumor but depending on her status she might have to start chemo.

Melanie's Pov:

I woke up with a groan and looked around to see an empty room. I sighed, remembering the previous night and grabbed the crutches that would help me roam around the hospital. I switched into sweatpants and a hoodie then crutches out the door, letting occasional tears slip down my face.

I walked into the waiting room and everyone sat up, my dad ran up and hugged me followed by Mark, Meredith, Bailey then everyone else. We stayed like that for a minute before everyone separated to start working again. The only person who wasn't here was George.

———- 

I sat next to Christina in the hallway,  we just sat there staring at the wall. "George is dead." She says blankly and I gasp before getting up as crutching off to the er. I saw Alex and Mark speaking to one another, seeming upset. Mark spotted me looking around with tear stained cheeks before calling me over.

I hobbled over as fast as I could and crashed into a hug. "He's dead." I coughed up and he stroked my hair until I stopped crying.

"He's really dead."
