Addicted To You- Jackson Avery

Chapter 10

Season 6, Episode 14- Valentines Day Massacre

Annabella's POV

I was walking with Bailey, Ari and Callie. Bailey said something about Valentines day being bad.

"Wow, Scrooge," I say.

"Scrooge is Christmas, that's a holiday," Bailey replies coldly:

Then Ben Warren comes over and asks Bailey out who turns him down.

We get in the elevator and we make the realisation that Bailey likes him.

"You have to say yes!" I say.

Me, Callie and Ari were basically laughing and giggling the whole time making Bailey annoyed.

Me and Ari leave.

This was literally a Valentines Day Massacre. I kinda felt bad that so many people who all just wanted to eat dinner with their significant other on Valentines day had this happen to them.

Jackson's POV

Sloan and Lexie had an argument and he basically said she wasn't fun or badass.

"Damn," I say as she walks past.

"Shut up!" She snaps.

I tried to laugh as she walks off.

The drama in this hospital might be the beat thing ever, it never gets boring.

If this was a tv show, I would watch it all day every day.

Annabella's POV

"Wow, trauma room Barbie," Jackson say to Lexie she just glares at him.

"So Yang's with Hunt, Grey's with Shepherd, Torres is with Robbins and you were with Sloan until he dumped you. It's a wonder you guys get any work done," Jackson says to Lexie.

"Like you can talk," I say looking at him.

"He didn't dump me, he forgot about me. He decided that we were going to start a family and didn't ask me. He forgot I was even there. He just left me lying in dirty dishwater," Lexie says.

"What?" I say referring to the last part of her sentence.

"Nothing," Lexie replies.

"I'm pretty," Jackson says.

"What?" I ask wondering how this has anything to do with our conversation.

"In my family. I'm the pretty one. You know, um, my eyes and...my smile and my body," he explains.

"You see me without a shirt on, it's kind of ridiculous," he says.

"What?" Lexie says staring at him.

"Not like that..it's just...i meant..never mind," he says.

"But my family is smart, driven, crazy overachievers. And they look smart. They don't look like me," he says also referring to skin colour which Lexie didn't understand.

"I still don't understand how this has anything to do with what we were talking about," I say.

"Which has its perks except that my family treated me like I'm pretty. They expect nothing of me. Ever. They never pushed me, never thought to. So I had to push myself, hard. I didn't even tell them I was taking the MCATs till I aced them. My point is that you can't just change your hair. You wanna be unforgettable, not mousy? You can't just change your hair, you have to actually change. Just saying," he finished.

"We saved the arm, we saved it. We're ready," I say as we walk in.

"It's gonna have to be an amputation," Owen says.

"What?" me and Lexie say at the same time.

They say what the could do and I try and argue with them.

"They...they can't just leave it behind. We could attach it to a healthy zone," Lexie says looking at Jackson for back-up.

"Don't tell me, mouse," he says.

"I'm just saying they could..." she starts before Jackson pushes her towards Owen and Mark making us both understand.

Lexie tells them. I add a few things along the way to help but she did most of it.

"Ok, that? Not mousy," Jackson says with a slight smile.

"You could be a little more encouraging than that," I say.

"I could but I don't want to. Too much encouragement makes me feel sick," he says.

I laugh at that and say, "Of course it does."

***

I got home to see Arizona, Mark and Callie.

"Hey, woah, r u ok?" I ask seeing Mark's face.

"I was gonna adopt Sloan's baby, but I'm not anymore and she left," Mark said looking up with glassy eyes.

I go over to him and give him a hug.

Mark ended up going back to his apartment after about 5 minutes.

"Bella, we wanted to talk to you about something," Callie starts.

"We want you to move out," Arizona starts.

"You're still my best friend, I just..." Callie starts.

"Cals, chill. I get it. You want your own space, I'm your best friend, doesn't mean you want to live with me 24/7. You wanna be able to go to my house after you have an argument with each other and vent. I get it," I say.

"Omg, I thought it was gonna be awkward and you were gonna hate us! Thank god!" Arizona says.

"So, you're not mad?" Callie asks.

"I'm not mad," I say.

I pack my things and leave them there for the night. I would pick them up tomorrow. I start walking out the door.

"Heading to Avery's?" Callie asks.

"Yeah and I'll pick up my stuff tomorrow," I say before walking out and driving to Jackson's.

***

I knock on the door only for Charles to answer.

"Jacks, your not-girlfriend is here!" he yells letting me in.

Jackson walks out of the bathroom with a towel on wrapped just below his waist.

"What? Oh," he says.

"Hey," I smirk.

"I guess I'll just wear headphones then!" Charles yells.

Jackson pulls me into the bathroom and lets his towel drop.

I grab his face and start kissing him. He turns on the shower and takes off my top.

From then, things escalated. And we did move into his room after a while and dried.
