There's something about nearly dying that makes you realize what you could lose in life. I also guess this is my way of saying I survived. We had new interns and thankfully my sister was one of them. I also had a nickname 'Pandora', because I was apart cold on everyone. They'd be the same. Cristina had left for Minnesota, thankfully Jackson stayed at Seattle Grace Mercy West with me. "So, it's your last day of Physio. I know it's not ideal." Jackson said to me as he pushed me around the hospital. I hadn't shared much about the survival since I'd been back.

"It's not but at least I'll be able to get out of this stupid chair." I said to him, since being back I hated a few things.

"I know it's not been your favorite thing you've been stuck in one place. Reminding you of things that didn't need to happen." He said to me and I said to him.

"Can you take me to Mark's room. It doesn't feel right if I get to have a celebration and I'm about to lose a good friend." I said to him with tears welling in my eyes. 5pm today, that's when this was going to happen. When the plug would be pulled on Mark.

"Of course, just page me when your down in there and I will take you to your appointment." He said to me and I nodded and took his hand. Kissing it. I saw Derek and Callie leaving. I then wheeled myself in. Letting Jackson walk away.

"Hey, it's me. I just want to say, open your eyes! Open your freaking eyes! You know I've been waiting so long for you to open them. I know you had that one day when you woke up and I need you to do it again. Permanently. You know, I'm finishing up my Physio today. I will no longer be in this chair. I'll be free to walk around." I said to him. I sat in silence. I didn't know what else to say. "I just want to say that I loved you forever. Yes, I moved on with Jackson but I feel like I never got over you. That's why I used to avoid you. But you have that effect on people, even Lexie thought so. All I know is if you want to leave. At least you'll be with Lexie, the love of your life. Now I better wheel away, I know your husband wants to talk to you. Also, when you go. Please look after my dad and my brother and Jackson and I's baby. Now I love you." I said to him and I paged Kennedy instead.

"Y/n, are you all okay?" She asked me and she saw me with Mark.

"It's 5:00 in a few hours and I don't even know what to say or do." I said to her and she started to wheel me away to my Physio. Once I got there I was hoping that soon this would all be over. Ken stayed with me.

"Come on, sis, you've got this." She said and I managed to walk and then I stopped using the barrier.

"Good, very good. Now, let's try the stairs." My physiotherapist said to me and we walked over to the steps. I managed to climb them a few minutes before I couldn't anymore.

"That's fine, not everyone climbs stairs anymore. Their overrated." Kennedy said to me and I walked over to her. I started to cry. I should be able to share this achievement with everyone but knowing that not everyone would be there was killing me. I sent Kennedy to watch the appy performance for her class and I went to the pit to help out. Finally working again.

"Y/n, it's almost 5, we gotta go." He said to me. He then took me, Callie and Derek to Mark's room so we could say our final goodbyes. "After I stop his medication, I'm gonna extubate him." Webber said to us and I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

"We don't need the talk." I said to him with a nod. I took Callie's arm. Resting my head on her shoulder.

"Ok, we're all doctors here. You don't need to say this." Callie said to him and I'm glad someone else was wanting the same thing as me.

"I'm not saying it because you need to know the procedure. I say it because even if you think you're prepared for what's about to happen...you're not. Your brain can't fully absorb what we're about to do. But by saying this...I'm giving you a little time to catch up. So...after I stop his medications...I'm gonna extubate him." Webber said and I nodded. I already felt like the tears were coming. "As indicated in his living will, Dr. Sloan asked that, if life-sustaining procedures would only prolong the moment of death, that these procedures be discontinued. Dr. Sloan asked that if he was unable to make his own medical decisions, that his directive be honored by his chosen proxy. His final request...was that only comfort care be given to him in his final moments. Once support is removed, he may only hold on for a few minutes...or the process could take hours. I'm turning the ventilator off." Webber said before the ventilator went off and the tubes started to get removed. My heart was breaking even more watching this. "We've sedated him with morphine...so he's not feeling any of this. Thanks." Webber said. Callie and I started to cry. I wiped my tears and looked down at him. "I'll give you some privacy." Webber said and he left the room. Derek, Callie and I sat down. As I sat there I remembered Mark and I's time together. From the first I love you to the time he held me in the hallway.

"Mark, he was a good boyfriend. I'll never forget anything he did for me." I said to them both. It was hard to say things.

"He really loved you when you were together. It kind of took a piece of him when you broke up." Derek said to me. It was nice to know that.

"And I was just the last person before he'd meet who he was meant to end up with. And he was mine as well." I said to him and we all started to share memories of Mark. At one part we watched the monitor. His heart rate was dropping. This was the end of it. I took his hand. Then he was gone. Then he had left us. And damn it, I was angry. I was angry that I didn't have more time with him. More time with my friend. I broke down instantly crying as I listened to the monitor flatline. When I got home I went straight into Jackson and I's room. Locking it instantly. I threw things around and broke a couple of things as well. Before collapsing and crying.

"Mum, it's Caleb. Open the door. Please open the door." Caleb said to me through the door and then I heard another set of footsteps get closer.

"Hey, bud. Just give her some space. She lost her friend tonight. She just needs some time. Baby, I'm here when you need me okay. I'm here." He said and that's when I looked at the picture book I had. With all the photos I'd taken over the years. Looking at the ones of Mark. Reliving those days together. Not knowing when it would be our last.
