Broken hearts, Always get fixed.

Chapter 55: This is a goodbye.

"So you're gonna call me every night before you go bed?"

"Yes."

"And you'll promise to make time for me?"

"Yes."

"Stop saying yes."

"Try not to make any sudden movements." he moved his eyes back and forth trying to be funny. He could tell she was being serious by the look on her face.

"This isn't funny, You're leaving me for six weeks by myself, here. alone."

Guilt over took her body. He was leaving her alone, and after all that happened, it felt almost illegal to leave her fragile and alone. She felt his body tense and squeezed him tighter.

"It will be ok, we'll be ok, right?"

"Right," Back away from her but grabbed her forarms. and right then, in that exact moment, he felt everything that was bottled up inside him all release. the love, the hate, the fear, the disgust, everything has vanished and the world has gone blurry.

"I'll be back before you know it."

"Yeah.. except I will know it because i'll be here alo-,"

"alone.. I know.. I can send Jessica over?"

"Jessica... she has the kids." she sighed.

"Giacomo?"

"Giacomo? The guy you accused me of sleeping with." she chuckled softly to herself. His mind raced to night that happened, it all happened so fast. one moment they were happy, the next he accused her and she was running out the door.

"I shouldn't have-,"

"No it's ok. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"No?" He smiled lightly.

"Yeah."

"Stay here... don't move... wait for me."

she smiled and saw him walk off to his gate number which was now boarding.

---

"Do you think she is ever going to leave?" Camilla asked the group standing outside the airport.

"She will have to soon... poor girl.." Shonda said while turning around.

"Oh here she comes!" Jesse said trying to act nonchalantly.

Ellen's heart ached to be in his embrace, for 6 weeks, she couldn't be in his embrace. She started walking out the large glass airport doors, before she fully got out she turned around to face his gate and just watched board. "Nothing is going to happen, they can't just crash. and he knows better than to sit on the back of the plane." she thought to herself. She picked her head up and walked over to Shonda, Camilla and Jesse, when she reached them Jesse was the first to hug her trying to say soothing things. Next was Camilla, then Shonda.

Shonda has always been a type of mother to Ellen. They built this amazing character together, they grew and grew and Shonda watched her grow into the person she was now. If you were to ask anyone on set who were the closest pair, everyone would say Shonda and Ellen or Debbie and Ellen.

"He'll be back before you know it Ells."

"Yeah.." she sighed and sat down in the car. she failed to even notice the paparazzi that were standing outside going crazy with photos and videos of the moment.

4 weeks in:

Patrick has been racing non-stop, he has barely had time to call her at night because when she gets off, he is racing and when she is asleep he is just going to sleep. He was walking down the road of Rome and decided to take a picture, he took a picture of the road ahead and put the caption as simple as can be 'rome.' .

---

Ellen was awoken from a buzz on her phone, not wanting to get up but wanting to see who could be bothering her so early, she turned over and reached for her phone seeing a notification pop up.

Instagram: Patrick Dempsey posted for the first time in awhile. check it out!

she was fast to click on it and see a road ahead but no picture of her, sadly. she thought to herself briefly before going into contacts and calling his number via facetime.

"Hey!" He said into the phone.

"Hi."

"You seem-... what's the word. non-excited?"

"You've been gone 4 weeks... I miss you." she said truthfully slamming her backwards into a bunch of pillows. He felt some type of pain strike his heart, guilt maybe.

"I know.. but i'll be home be-,"

"Before you know it.." she sighed rolling over onto her side.

"Ell.."

"I'm sorry I just.. nevermind."

"Nevermind?"

"yeah."

"okay.."

"How is filming going?" he asked trying to start a new conversation.

"The same, long hours, scenes with Meredith and Hayes now that she is awake and off that vent, and very tired." she finished.

"Wait- scenes with Meredith and Hayes?" He raised his brows.

"Yes."

"Love scenes?"

"Patrick Galen!"

"What!? My wife is hot, and only mine."

"Both of which are true facts." she smiled a little.

"Hey Ell," she looked back up to camera "I- nevermind." He sighed. he wanted to tell her he'd be home tomorrow but he also wanted to keep it a surprise.

"oh i see, i'm getting a taste of my own medicine."

"Indeed you are." He lied.

"Ugh!!"

"What's wrong love?"

"I just wished you were here so I could snuggle up to your chest and you could hold me so tight that the world faded and it was just us.."

"Yeah... me too." he sat down on the edge of the sidewalk and ran a hand through his pepper and salt waves.

"Two more weeks..."

"Two more weeks." he repeated feeling somewhat guilty again.

'Mr. Dempsey, they're ready for you.' she heard a man's voice in the back.

"I'm sorry love, but I have to go.."

"It's ok, call me later?"

"I will." With that, he smiled at her then hung up the phone putting it in his back pocket.

He followed his bodyguard to the building where they were shooting this commercial for doctors. They stopped for some fans, of course, the continued their way to the elevator stepping on. He dreaded to tell Ellen someone he knew she hated most would be there. but how could he after he left the way he did.

They got the floor and pushed open the large doors leading to a room with about 50 other people.

"Well if it isn't Kate Walsh."

"Patrick Dempsey is it?" she laughed hugging him.

"It is indeed, Is she here?" He asked looking around. And right then, he saw her walking towards them.

He took a deep breath then put on a fake smile, "Jillian." He said through gritted teeth.

A/N: Oop- what's gonna happen with Jillian and Patrick? @meredithsderek1 and @Potatolovrrrrr no need to kill me, I didn't make anything happen, yet at least.

Also I just want to clarify this. Yes I know Ellen and Patrick will never be together, and yes I know they're extremely happy in their marriages (As far as we know) with that being said, me writing a dempeo book has nothing to do with me 'hating' jillian, I never said I hated her. Don't put words in my mouth, you know who you are.

anyway, love y'all. and love how active I have been, this is my third update today, like what!? Anyway, bye now.
