The Slexie Love Story

After math...

I wake up the next morning with a terrible headache. I felt dead inside but I started work at 10:00 am so I HAD to wake up. I got dressed and went downstairs to see Meredith in the living room with Alex. I walk passed them and say nothing. I wanted to get to the hospital early to avoid Mark during rounds. I grab an apple and head out. I got in my car and drove to the hospital. I see somebody in my parking spot, so I park in the street and walk toward the car in my spot, there's somebody inside the car so I go to the drivers seat to knock on the window. I know and then I see it was Mark's car.
"Just on time." He says very snarky.
"What?" I say, I was so confused at that point.
"Well you came early to avoid me right?", he says. He knew he was right. And I knew he was right.
I say, "You're in my spot, move."
"We need to talk." He says.
"There's nothing left to say", I walk into the hospital not even caring about the parking space anymore. I go to the resident lounge and get dressed into some scrubs. But of course Mark is there. I'm a doctor so I don't really mind changing in front of other doctors. As long as the bra and underwear stay ON. I take off my shirt and pants, and change into the scrubs. I could tell Mark had seen a lot of girl naked, I took my clothes off and he did not react at all.
"Bet this is normal to you right? Having girls change in front of you like it's no big deal?" I say, as soon as I said it, I realized how snarky I sounded. I felt like I was slut shaming him. Which was exactly what I was going for.
He laughs and says, "most of the girls that get naked in front of me, want to. But we do need to talk. I didn't tell you because I assumed you knew. I didn't mean to ruin ur friendships."

"Yea well you almost did. Luckily they acted like nothing happened. But I'm not jeopardizing that again so just stay away from me." I told him.
"Oh come on, stop pretending you don't like me. Admit it, you want to go out with me. But you're just scared of what your friends will say."

"Fine, yes I want to go on an actual date with you, I want to be able to be seen in public, I want to be able to talk to my friends about you. But you're off limits. You hurt Derek, and he's my brother."

"Then don't tell them. Cmon, I like you and you like me. What's the harm?" He says.

"The harm is that you don't like me for me. You think that I'm hot and fierce but you don't like ME. I like to eat in the middle of the night rather than dinner, I sleep with socks on, I have to brush the top teeth first or else it will bug me all day. I'm not a girl you like, I'm just another girl that you can sleep with and then dump." I said.

I finish putting my things in my cubby and get my pager. "Look, it's not that I don't like you, it's that I can't trust you." I say as I walk out. I'm on Derek's service, he just paged me 911. I quickly run to the ER to see incoming traumas dropping like dominos. I see all the other residents were paged too, there had been a car a pile up. Everybody was on deck.

"Hey, where do you need a me?", I ask Derek, there was no hi or hello or even any kindness from his tone. "What does it look like? People are dying Lexie, go!" He said, guess he's still mad. What made it even worse was Mark came in at the same time. "Oh look it's your boyfriend." He says sarcastically. "Gee thanks" Mark replies. "He's not my boyfriend! He's not even my friend!" I yell as Derek walks away. "Incoming Trauma!", yells a nearby nurse. I put on a trauma gown and run outside to see the ambulance unloading. One of the paramedics then say, "Henry Lopez, arrested once in the field. Had a heart attack while out for a jog." We get him set up in a bed, he wakes up and asked what happened. I was assigned his case so I was in charge, I told him what happened and ordered a CT.
