Disclamer

I do not own Chicago Med, nor any of the Chicago franchise. I am just a fan wanting to write a little fanfic. If you want me to continue the story please let me know.

Chapter 1: Match day

Match day, the day I find out where I am spending the next 4 years of my life! As I approach the desk to collect the envelope which sealed inside is my career path my heart races, head spins, and the nausea, that's just the icing on the cake!

"Name?" the administrator asks in a dull monotone.

"Olivia Halstead" I reply, and just in case you were wondering, yes, I have 2 brothers in Chicago who have neglected to call or write in 4 years. It is only slightly better than the torment I get from Dad because at 14 I accepted a scholarship to Harvard Medical School in Boston. None of that matters now though, I hold in my hot little hands my fate. I will be practicing Emergency medicine, after my last lot of rounds I fell in love with the challenge that I was presented with each day, the adrenaline rush you get when the ambulances role in, the response from patients when you can help them with their issue and get on with their day, I just applied for 1 hospital in each of my preferred states with progressive Emergency Departments.

"Halstead!" who said that? I look around for the person who called my name. "Halstead!" Where are they? "Halstead" I jump as Cassie whispers in my ear.

"Geez, Cass, don't do that to me! You know I don't like it"

"Sorry" she says with a sarcastic pouty face, "I wanted to catch you so we could open our matches together"

"You're so sweat…" I reply blushing and before I could say anything else she embraces me in a passionate kiss. "I love you, you know that yeah? And no matter how far apart we are we will make this work!"

"Of course I do silly! Come on let's find somewhere private to open these." She grabs my hand and practically drags me back to our dorm room as I completely zone out getting caught up in my own anxieties. In all honesty, as much as I hate my family for not staying in contact I want to go back to Chicago! I miss it, I miss the wind in my hair, the cold winters (mind you we get those here too), I… I miss my family. I know Will's probably not there, last I heard he was in New York doing Plastic Surgery and who knows, maybe Jay's in Afghanistan…

"OLIV!"

"What?!" I snap

"I've called your name 3 times, what's up? Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I am just lost in thought, you know what this means yeah?"

"Yes, yes I do now let's kill the suspense already and open up our matches!"

"You go first, I'm too nervous"

Cassie opens her letter and lets out a little squeal "Chicago Med, Emergency Psychology!" before I can react she is jumping on the bed like a kid who has just discovered they are bouncy. "My first preference!" she looks at me and says, "your turn" and with that I cannot wait any longer, I have to open my letter and face up to the reality that I am probably not going to be in Chicago because, fate has this funny way of slapping me in the face when I finally decide I am happy!

Dear Miss Halstead,

It is with great pleasure that we inform you that as of July you will be conducting your residency in Emergency Medicine at Chicago Med in Chicago, Illinois. We are looking forward to meeting you in June for your induction and would like to congratulate you on graduating from Medical School.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Sharron Goodwin

I stare in disbelief, I'm speechless, since when did the universe decide that I should be happy, truly happy? Did my hard work really pay off, am I really going home?

"Well?" Cassie asks "the suspense is killing me!" I hand her the letter too speechless to say anything, I am still in a state of shock when she plants yet another kiss on me and starts planning our move to Chicago.

I cannot believe it, I'm going home!
