I've Loved and I've Lost

Chapter 4

Danica's POV

George, Cristina, and I all walk into Joe's Bar. I take of my coat and quickly run behind the counter. "Give it up for the champ!" Everyone cheers. "Heard my guy Alex finally got what's coming to him,"

"George knocked him down with one punch," Cristina states. "You shoulda seen it,"

"I don't wanna talk about it!" George exclaims. I hand him a beer. 

"Calm down," I pat his hand before bringing drinks to other people in the bar. I walk over to a table of three men, clearly having been here for a while. I place down their drinks. "Three shots of tequila, and three beers. Is there anything else I can get you?" I ask, putting the tray under my arm.  

One of the men smirks at me, his eyes raking up and down my body. I turn around to walk away and feel a hand make contact with my ass. I freeze before grabbing the tray and with a swift motion, I spin and smack him right across the face with it before walking back behind the bar. The man gets up from the floor. "Joe did you see what that bitch did!?" Joe looks over at him.

"I didn't see anything," Joe lies. He leans closer to me. "Nice hit," 

"Thank you," I pour myself a shot of tequila, shooting it back. I'm not a lightweight so I don't worry too much. I lean over the counter in front of George, Cristina, and Meredith. 

"Let's play a game of whose life sucks most," Meredith states. "I'll win, I'll always win,"

"Well, you don't wanna play with me," Cristina states.

"Me either," I add.

"Oh I do, I'll even go first. Derek's married," George spits out his beer, some of it splashing onto me. 

"Jesus George!" I grab a paper towel and wipe my neck and the tops of my breasts. George walks off, going to the bathroom to wash his face. 

"No you don't win," Cristina states.

"You really don't,"

"Did you both not hear me. I said Derek's married. Like pigheaded, adulterous, liar married," 

"Look Meredith. I had to see my ex fiancee, who cheated on me for six months without me knowing until a week after he proposed because his five month pregnant side chick showed up at my door. Little did he know that I was pregnant too. I gave the baby up for adoption and that stupid psych patient got in my head by telling me I'd see her again soon. I win," 

"I'm pregnant," Cristina states. "I either win or come in close second to Dani," I look up to see Joe clutch his forehead. 

"Joe?" He then falls to the floor, the glasses he was carrying crashing beside him. 

"Ok, maybe Joe wins," Cristina, Meredith, and I all rush to Joe. He tries to sit up. 

"Joe lay down, the ambulance is on it's way,"

"You called the gurney patrol?" Joe asks.

"Sit back and relax," Meredith instructs. "We have to take you to the hospital to run some tests," 

"Tests? No I don't need tests, I'm fine," Joe protests.

"Dude, you collapsed on the floor. This is your bar, you know how filthy the floor is," Cristina states. George comes running out of the bathroom.

"What happened?"

"He collapsed," I explain and Meredith and Cristina continue looking for other injuries. I stand up and down another shot. 

"You're sleeping with someone?" Meredith asks Cristina. 

"What? Who?" George asks.

"Why is that such a shock? Even George managed to get some action," Cristina states.
