          ~ “ God DAMNIT- ! ”

     Nothing short of a COMMOTION came barreling through the ER doors, the petite woman showing no sign of stopping as she shoved her way through the bay. Why, may one ask? 

     Given the RAG DOLL of a woman limply hanging in her arms, an iron grip keeping her form snug against the brunette’s side- one could potentially put two and two together. YET it was not enough, another string of curses flying from the female as what could only be assumed as her friend finally COLLAPSED. Pallid with grey lips, life all but gone as her body made its place on the floor, the patrons cleared the way. But the stubborn brunette REFUSED to give up just yet as she kneeled down next to the fallen woman.

     Two fingers shoved over the carotid. Bated breath. No pulse. FUCK.                   – A glance up. The first to come into her line of sight, wavy dark hair, white coat-

     “When you were married to April and she left for the army, is that what did you guys in?” Alex knew it was an insensitive question -- that’s why he’d decided to ask Jackson instead of Kepner. Well, that and the fact that he would relate more to the abandoned in the scenario than the abandoner. He’d been consumed with the idea of Jo leaving for days now and when he’d asked Meredith for advice she’d basically told him to suck it up. Jackson had been through a similar situation though and some insight was what Alex really needed if he was ever going to have some peace of mind about the whole thing. 

**“**  no,  **”**   it’s a simple answer and for a moment she doesn’t elaborate,   she didn’t want to.   **“**  i just couldn’t fall asleep,  it’s fine**—**  i’m fine.  **”**   it’s not fine,  _ she wasn’t fine_,   it’s not a hard lie to see through.   with the way exhaustion had settled into her expression it was clear she hadn’t slept well in quite a few days.   **“**  really**—**   i just need coffee,   or anything caffeinated.  **”**>>>

welcome back old friend

BREAK ABBY’S HEART WITH A SINGLE ASK.

fingers   press   tight  against   the   wound  ,   attempting   to   staunch   the   blood   flow  ,   an   attempt  to   keep   her   alive   until  someone   got   there  to   help.      she just   needed  to   stay   alive.     there’s   urgency   in   her   every  movement   ,   in   the   way   her   eyes  have   blown   wide  and   flit   from  wound   to   face  to   the   area  around   the   area  around   them.      there  was   no   one   ,   and   the   reality  of   the   matter  was   ,   no   one   was   coming.   she   was   going  to   have   to   do   this  on   her   own   ,   but   another   glance  down   at   the   amount   of   blood   seeping  through   her   fingers  tells   abby   that  there’s   not   a   lot   of   time   ,   and   without  her   medical   bag   ,   there’s  little   else   she   can   do.   and   so   she   holds  onto   those   last  shreds   of   hope  ,   adjusting   hold  and   pressing   weight  into   the   injury.     ʺ   ―――      no  ,      no   ,   no      !     ʺ            abby   answers  urgently   ,      each  word   running   into  the   next   ,     ʺ         you’re   gonna  be   okay.      i  promise   ,      you  just   gotta   stay  awake   ,   stay  with   me.      ʺ    she   could   still   save   her   ,   right   ?
