Meant to Be

Chapter 14

Jackson Pov:

Upon entering Grey's room, I could see quite a mess. Clothes scattered on the floor, the bed as if at least a hurricane had passed through it, in addition, in the corner you could see a pot that was probably thrown or fell by itself, because all the soil in it was now on the ground.

I decided to leave everything as it was, there was no time to clean it now. The more important thing at this point was finding our roommate.

So I took two pairs of sweatpants, two shirts, and the same number of sweatshirts and socks. I figured I'd take two hats from April's room and, of course, blankets from the hall closet. Once I had all my belongings, I went downstairs and left the house, then headed towards my car and my friends were standing next to it.

- "Here you have these things,"- I said, handing over one of April's commercials - "And if you find Lexie, let her not sleep in her room today."

- "Why? Did you make such a mess, Avery?" - Karev asked

- "I rather found him there. We just have to clean up a bit first. But don't worry, everything can be put back together. Well, almost everything"- I added, thinking about the pot.

- "There is nothing that cannot be cleaned. We can do it" - answered the redhead with a slight conviction that we will be able to find her.

- "Okay, let's not waste time and get to work,"- Alex replied.

- "Let me know if you've got anything,"- I said, getting into the car.

- "You too" - replied my friend, who was already walking away with the chestnut, to the previously designated area, which they were supposed to search. And I went to the more distant parts of Seattle.

Lexie Pov:

I was standing in front of the hospital entrance. Raindrops were pouring down on me, people passed me on their way out or entering the hospital. I could go in or stand and wait. What to do, I honestly didn't know what I wanted to do. I am not in control to some extent. I don't know why I ran out of the house and screamed and why I didn't want to come back to my room to go to sleep.

In the end, however, I decided to go inside. I was already so cold that I could barely feel the toes that were in the wet shoes.

Once inside, I headed to the resident locker room as soon as possible to find something in my locker that would not be wet and cold. I went to my locker and noticed a T-shirt and tracksuits there. All I have to do is find some shoes and socks. Fortunately, I had sneakers, which I usually use in the hospital. I grabbed all my clothes as quickly as possible and headed for the bathroom where I could take a hot shower.

In the bathroom, I looked in the mirror. My hair was soaking wet, my makeup smudged, and my eyes were swollen from crying. I couldn't look at myself, so I quickly got into the shower and sank into tears again. I don't even know why I'm crying anymore, it's stronger than me. I sat in the shower for several dozen minutes. The water was running down my body and I finally felt all the bad emotions draining off me.

For these few days I haven't felt so calm and free from emotions as I am now. If I could, I would stay here as long as possible. I didn't have to listen to all these advice, sympathize with everyone around me. Even though I am grateful to them for what they are doing, I am already overwhelmed by all that has to do with the last few days.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I realized that the moment of peace and silence was coming to an end and I had to get back to my daily life and my problems.

- "Busy" - I answered tapping - "Give me 5 minutes and I'll leave."

I got out of the shower and put on the underwear and clothes I had prepared before. I took all my things and opened the bathroom door.
