Chapter Text
Never in a million years did you think that today was going to be the very day that you feared what was going to happen soon, happened, that today was going to be the very last day you heard your best friend Cole, mutter his last I Love You’s to you. Never.
“No, please no. Cole, don’t leave me please.” you whispered, crying as you cradled him close to you. Looking you up you saw the horrors of what was becoming, you saw many people rushing to save others, taking them away after piling them in their trucks.
Looking back down, you cried a bit more as you closed Cole’s eyes, muttering an I love you, and kissed his forehead, after letting him go, you quickly wiped your eyes, and rushed to help others, to help save the others.
Y/N kept running from people to people, checking if they were alive, ordering for them to be taken away if they had a chance of survival, yelling for them to duck down when more shots rang.
A loud child’s cry caugh your attention, you turned and noticed a small boy desperatley cluthching a woman’s hand, your heart dropped to the foor. You noticed a man loading his gun again, and not thinking you ran to where the kid was and just snatched him away from where he was and held him close to you, cradling his face to your chest.
You scrambled to hide you and the small kid behind a slide that was metal and hoped that the shooting will stop soon. The kid cried even harder and noticed that he was bleeding from his side and arm. “You’re okay, I’ll take care of you.” you whispered to him.
The little boy just tighen his hold and once the shooting stopped your made a mad dash to your car, hoping and praying that the man would stop. Seconds later, another round of shots rang in the air, and you let out a yelp of pain when you felt a bullet graze your right leg, making you yell out of pain.
Still that didn’t stop you, you finally reached your car, and quickly opened the passegner side, and buckled in the kid, just as you were about to get in the driver’s side, you noticed two teen couple crawling. “Stay right here, I’ll be right back.” you told the little boy.
He let out a small whimper but nodded, you rushed back and pulled the two teens. “I’m Dr. L/N. I need you guys to come with me, I can help you.” you said softly. The two teens just cried and nodded and you helped guide them to you car. After getting them in the backseats, you grabbed stepped on the gas and quickly reversed back and took off once you could.
“What about my mommy?” The little boy cried. You swallowed back the lump that grew in your throat.
You turned to him for a second. “I promise I’ll call my friends to help your mommy, okay?”
The little boy just nodded, and began to cry. Looking at rear mirror, you noticed two teens in the back, huddling even closer, shivering, and crying. You looked back at road, and pressed the gas even harder.

Ethan tried his best to remain calm, and concentrated, helping his patients. He heard that it was the park where Y/N was at meeting Cole. Letting a grunt he stopped compressions and ordered everyone to stop.
“Time of death 14:58.” Ethan said, and then moved to help others. Maggie noticed his stotic expression and her stomach dropped a bit, when she remebered that Y/N was going to be at the park today.
“Ethan.” Maggie called him softly. Ethan turned to her and shook his head.
“Not right now Maggs.” Ethan replied. Maggie replied, and moved to help the next patient.
Ethan rushed in and grabbed the guaze that was being held to the man’s throat. He lifted up, the second he did, blood squirted everywhere. Everything seemed to blur by him, as he rushed out and started to yell out orders, to form some sort of an assembly line.
He went outside to diagonse patietns, help order what rooms to go to, when a familar car sped in. His heart leaped to his throat and he rushed to help.
Y/N had finally reached the hopsital and stopped the car when the little boy started to seize, opening the door, you rushed to the other side. “I need help over here!” you yelled. Opening the passenger door, you held on to the kids head, suddenly he stopped and you quickly checked for a pulse.
“Don’t quit on me now, little one.” you muttered, ignoring that someone was currently the two other teen, as you began to do chest compressions. “C'mon little man.”
Ethan looked up as he watched you treat the little kid, he turned to Doris and an other nurse. “Take them.” he ordered and then moved to where you stood, he checked for a pulse and found none. “Babe. He’s gone.” he muttered softly.
You let out a small sob and checked your watch. “Time of death… 17:43.” Ethan just pulled you for a hug, and watched as the other nurse grabbed the little boy and took him away, he let out a small sigh, when he noticed that you were bleeding.
“You’re hurt.” Ethan said worriedly.
You pulled away and wiped your eyes. “It’s a graze, I just need to stop the bleeding, maybe even stitches and change, so I can help.” you whispered.
“Cole?” Ethan asked, you just looked at him with the most broken eyes and he nodded. “Let me patch you up and then you go to help the others.” he said you nodded, and allowed him to carry you back. He grabbed your keys and turned to the young valet and heanded him the keys. “Park this car in the doctror’s section.”
Ethan didn’t wait for a reply he just took you to an empty gourney bed and checked and closed your wound and send you off, after handing you many latex gloves. Y/N let out a small sigh and took off her jacket and joined her boyfriend in helping the others.
Finally, after many hours of running from patient to patient, the hospital began to wind down with patients, and you shuffled towards the nurse’s station, in hopes to find Ethan. You found him leaning by there, with a small far away look, you saw Goodwin praise him, and April moving closer to comfort him.
You continued to make your way over, ignoring April’s glare, Ethan just pulled you into his arms, as you finally broke down and just sobbed, Ethan held you tighter, ignoring that your clothes were soaked in so much blood.
“This was such a close call, I almsot lost you.” Ethan muttered.
You just nodded and pulled away from him, and looked up into his eyes. “Let’s go home.” you whispered. Ethan just nodded and the both of you began to leave, him holding up as you both left. April was about to call for them to stop, but Sharon stopped her.
“Let them.” Sharon told her. April nodded and left to help the others.
