Ok, my first attempt in writing a whole cast fanfic. Ok, not really a fanfic, more like a
script… but, hi, who cares?! :) Well. This story is somewhere in the 5th season, I
don't know exactly when… ;-)
Note: even though it's the 5th season, Anna never left, but there was this stupid thing
with Max.
Note: I don't have anything to do with medical jargon, so I may make lots of mistakes in
that area!
Anyway, any feedback, good or bad, can send to: sharlot12@hotmail.com

Doug: Carter and Anna? Why?
Carol: both of them came to me, in different times, well, telling how they feel about each
other… I told both of them that that's obvious that the other one likes them
too… and than I told them to ask each other out, but they are both too shy…
Doug: and that's what you've been thinking about all morning?
Carol: kind of, well, The truth is that I thought about how to get those two
together…
Doug: we can lock them together some place…

coma, and I never got to say goodbye…

Carol: I am. My world is great, and I'm engaged to the man I'm in love with. Acutely,
have been for the last 9 years or so.
Emily: sounds romantic… wait, is that the guy that you broke-up before you tried
to kill yourself?
Carol: yes, he is. But anyway, We need to talk about you right now. I believe
they also gonna ask you if you remember what he look like.
Emily: I remember he had short and black here, light-blue eyes, and he was pretty
tall…

Sweet Surrender - Sarah McLachlan
You take me in,
No questions asked,
You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me.
Are you an angel?
Am I already that gone?
I only hope that I won't disappoint you...
When I'm down here on my knees.
Sweet Surrender is all that I have to give.
Sweet Surrender is all that I have to give.
Oh, and I don't understand,
How by the touch of your hand,
How I would be the one to fall.
I miss the little things; I miss the simple things....
Oh I miss everything, everything about you.
So it doesn't mean much,
It doesn't mean anything at all.
The life I've left behind me is a cold room.
Sweet Surrender is all that I have to give.
Sweet Surrender is all that I have to give
