Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 19:

I get woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. I run my eyes before answering my phone.

Me- whoever is calling me, you now owe me coffee.
Cristina- damn, who knew baby Shepherd could be so grumpy?
Me- I hate you.
Meredith- I'm here too.
Me- I hate you both. Why are you two calling me? Wait, this is a joint call?
Cristina- yep. You need to know what's happening.
Me- I need coffee first before I can be an actual human being Yang.
Cristina- there's a boy in Mer's bed.

That caused me to shoot out of bed.

Me- okay!! I'm awake now. A BOY?!
Meredith- yes.
Me- what's his name?!
Meredith- um, Steve.
Cristina- where'd you find him?

I start walking around my apartment still in my pjs.

Meredith- Joe's.
Me- wow, go Mer.
Cristina- hmm. Guess where I am.
Meredith- where?
Cristina- Burke's apartment. He went to the hospital. He left me here alone.
Me- you're going through his stuff, aren't you Cris?
Cristina: oh! There's no stuff to go through baby Shepherd. It's a freak show. I mean, you could do surgery in here.

I grab a muffin from the pantry.

Cristina- oh! He arranged his books using the Dewey decimal system. Mer, baby Shepherd, I'm scared.
Meredith- get out. Get out of the house now.
Me- yeah, get out of there Cris.

Then, I hear someone's voice in the background. It sounded like a man so I assume it's Steve that Meredith slept with.

Meredith- uh, I gotta go.

Meredith's line ends, leaving me and Cristina.

Me- I'm gonna get ready then I think I'll drive to Mer's and see George and Izzie before work.

There was a bit of silence.

Me- Cris?
Cristina- Burke made me a key.
Me- a key?
Cristina- to his apartment. He made me a key to his apartment baby Shepherd!
Me- oh my god. Okay, I'll leave you to your dilemma. Have fun. Byeeee!

I hang up on Cristina then take a quick shower and get dressed then I drive to Mer's, texting George on the way. When I get to Meredith's, I go into the kitchen to see Izzie making breakfast for herself and George is sorting laundry.

Delilah: hello friends!
Izzie: hey Delilah! There's coffee if you want some.
Delilah: thanks Izzie.

I kiss George's cheek then pour some coffee into my to go cup.

George: well, another sleepless night in Seattle.
Izzie: yeah, who is it this time? Hairy back guy?
George: you know who I miss? Inappropriate facial hair guy. You know he did his own dishes?
Izzie: oh, tattooed ass guy made coffee.
Delilah: oh, he sounds lovely.

Note the sarcasm.

George: yeah, he was a keeper.

Izzie and I both give George a knowing look. I know George still has feelings for Meredith but he's been respectful and hasn't told her considering everything with my dad.

George: what?

Izzie raises her eyebrows at George.

George: what? Meredith?

I nod my head.

George: I am over her.
Delilah: mhmm.
Izzie: okay.
George: I am.
Izzie: yeah, we can see that.
George: but, is she trying to set some kind of record?
Izzie: at least she has a goal.
