twenty-nine

Allison's life flashed before her eyes, the happy memories only, her first day as a intern, the day she passed her intern exam, conversations with Derek, the lunch break with her friends, and Jackson Avery, memory she shared with Jackson.

The distance screams of Arizona jolted Allison to open her eyes only for her to stare at the blue sky. Allison could feel the sun shine down on them. Using one hand to bring herself up, her eyes widened as she saw a piece of glass sticking out of her side.

Her eyes wandered before she saw a piece of clothing next to her, she grabbed it and wrapped it around her hand, before taking out the glass, her blood oozing out as she groaned at the pain before wrapping it with a shirt.

Allison looked around her surroundings, she saw pieces of clothing scattered everywhere, pieces of the plane, trees, dirt, blood. She saw Cristina helping Meredith up, as Arizona was laying down, a piece of the plane on top of her leg.

"W-Where's Derek and Lexie?" She heard Meredith ask.

"I don't...I don't know. I lost a shoe." Cristina stuttered. Allison glanced down to her feet and stared at Cristina's black sock.

Allison stood up making her way towards Meredith and Cristina. "What happened?"

"The plane crashed. That's what happened." Cristina yelled, looking over at the scattered pieces of the plane. "We were in a plane and it crashed. Plane crash."

"Where is Derek!" Meredith yelled as it echoed through the forest before facing her friend, "Cristina, where is Derek?"

"He was sucked out the side, when we hit the trees, and then the back of the plane came off. It came—it came off." Cristina yelled, freaking out.

"Lexie was in the back of the plane." Allison said as she felt dizzy.

"I-I looked to the back, and all I could see was freakin' sky." Cristina looked up.

Allison brought her hand behind her head as she felt liquid. Blood. It was the only explanation.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know!" Cristina yelled, "I only have one shoe!"

"Nobody cares about that!" Allison yelled at her, "We were in a freaking plane crash! And—and I'm bleeding!"

Arizona yells echoed until Cristina told her to shut up, causing her screams to quiet down. The tapping of sounds from the far distance caused everyone to look around.

"Do you hear—Do you hear that sound?" Meredith asked as she heard something, "Where is that sound coming from?"

"There." Arizona's pointed to the direction she heard the sound come from. "It's coming from over there."

Mark, stumbled every now and then, Allison saw this as she helped him walk as she put an arm around his waist, as he, Allison, Meredith and Cristina walked towards the noise.

"Derek!" Meredith shouted, trying to figure out if he is alive or not, "Lexie! Derek! Lexie!"

Once they came across a piece of a plane, they stopped as they saw a bloody hand clanging a seatbelt to the metal.

"Lexie."

Mark went to the floor to look at Lexie, while Cristina, Meredith and Allison were crouched down behind him.

"Lexie. Lexie." Mark whispered, placing a hand on her neck to check her pulse.

"I knew you'd show up." Lexie smiled, blood on her teeth.

"How is she?" Meredith asked.

"She's awake and responsive." Mark nodded, looking back at Lexie, "How you doing in there?"

"I'm—I'm great." Lexie looked at her surroundings.

"Yeah? Good girl. We're gonna get you outta here, okay?" Mark softly smiled as he got up.

"Okay."

The four of them backed away a little as Mark turned to face them, "She's tachycardia and short of breath."

"We have to find Derek." Meredith sighed.

"Okay," Cristina nodded, "You know what? We've got Lexie. So you two go. Go find him. Go." She told Meredith and Allison seeing as they weren't moving, "Go. Go try and find him."

Allison nodded as her hand linked with Meredith's as they walked to try and find Derek.

April scoffed as she walked inside the resident's lounge, "Ugh. Can someone please mercy kill me so I don't have to go to this thing?"

"You'll do me and I'll do you." Alex agreed, putting on his lab coat.

"Better leave me a bullet." Jackson told them, "Hell if I'm going alone."

"Yang, Grey and Carter skipped town at the perfect time." Alex nodded, seeing as the three other residents went to Boise.

"Oh, no." April shook her head, "They will be back in time for dinner. Because I had to pick up their stupid dry cleaning and—and dig through their stupid closets for their stupid heels, all the while babysitting Mer's stupid kid." April hanged the dresses in each of their cubbies. Jackson glanced up at April, "She's not stupid. She's actually adorable."

"Hey, you decide on Tulane yet?" Alex looked up from placing his pager on his lab coat.

"No." Jackson said, waiting to hear from Allison, "I'm still weighting in my options. Lot of factors involved."

"At least you have options." April said, "Hey, want to hear mine? When I go back to Moline, do I work at the Tastee Freeze or milk cows on the farm?"

"Tastee Freeze." Alex responded as he walked away, "No-brainer."

Jackson sighed before walking up to April, "You're still a doctor."

Looking up at him, April scoffed, "Just go to Tulane already, or confess your feelings to Allison before she leaves as well."

"Cristina." Meredith called out, as they approached her, "We can't find him." Meredith shook her head, both girls had a sadden face thinking of the worse.
