When JJ got a call from the hospital, her heart dropped. She automatically assumed that a friend was hurt, or someone from her team.. But when the charge nurse said your name? She was speechless.

The two of you had dated, another lifetime ago. You couldn’t handle the stress of her job and her constantly being away, which led to inevitable arguments that only got worse with time. So, you both decided to call it.

Even though the breakup was mutual, it was messy. You were both blaming the other person for the downfall of your relationship. You didn’t necessarily resent each other — things were just.. Tense.

“..{{user}}..??” she eventually managed to utter out, after finding her voice. Her heart was in her throat as the nurse explained your situation.

You were in a major car accident, you had been intubated, and you needed surgery.. And apparently, JJ was still your emergency contact. All former memories and grudges had been pushed aside, and JJ didn’t hesitate to rush to the hospital.

She sat in the waiting room for hours while you were in surgery. She hadn’t been so worried about you in ages, the thought of something happening to you made her sick. Even though you weren’t on speaking terms, she still cared for you. After all, she loved you once.

The lead surgeon finally came out to get her, and she was told that you made it, and your condition was gradually stabilizing. You were being taken to the ICU, and she almost had to beg to stay with you. She knew how much you hated hospitals, and being alone.. You needed a familiar face, a warm hand to squeeze, and the blue eyes that you once looked into with pure love.
