After the shooting, and after 6 weeks of advised medical leave, I decided to take a few more weeks off, I had been taking driving lessons before the shooting and I decided to take my driving test, I passed but I hadn't told anyone yet as I only took it this morning.
"I'm home" I yell as I walk through the door, and place my licence and keys on the kitchen side.
" Hey, where were you" meredith say walking  in and opening the fridge.
" your back, what were you doing" leixe say following behind meredith.
"Ahh baby grey your back," Alex says walking in as well.
" yes, I'm back I'm mean I think we all get it, anyone else want to say it" I say rubbing the back of my head.
" Hey I'm going to the store, you need anything," meredith says looking around the room.
"Pass me my keys," I say holding my hand out.
Meredith look at my keys and sees the licence, " you got your drivers licence, when?" She Questions.
"This morning, want me to drive to the store, I need somethings anyway," I say catching my keys and licence as they were thrown at me.
" Ok then let's go, anyone else need anything," meredith say grabbing her coat.
" tampons and advil" lexie and April both say.
" why do you think I'm going," I yell back before I shut the door.
" how is rider," meredith asks as she climbs into the passenger seat.
" He's good, he got onto his football team at his school" I say putting my keys into the ignition.

------------------------------------------------------------

We arrive at the store and walk in," so why did you come with me?" Meredith questions.
" I needed to buy tampons and stuff, riders birthday is coming up so I wanted to buy something for him as well." I say before grabbing a basket for myself.
I leave Meredith to do the food shopping while I wonder about the store to find my things, rider and I have been dating for about 3 months now, he is completely mesemerised by comic books, he is really quite odd, I mean he is the quater back and a bit of a geek.
I wonder around the store now have everything I need but his birthday present, I quickly walk into the book section, as meredith had called me to hurry up, I find a marvle variation comic book covers, I can't lie and say I didn't find it quite cool.

------------------------------------------------------------

" you took forever" meredith says as I get in the drivers seat," what did you get for rider," she continues.
I don't tell her I just pull it out and show her, " a comic cover book, I thought you said he was a football player, you know what tell me about him" she says scratching her head.
" um, well he is 17 in 4 days, he's 6 foot 1......." I say but get cut off.
"Not that kind of stuff, like things he's into" meredith gesture.
"Well he is a massive geek, he loves marvel, and dc and  he is the quarter back of his schools football team" I say my cheeks going red as I think about him," Oh did you pick up the advil" I continue.
" Right here," she say turning the keys from the passenger side.
" thank f,,k for that, they wouldn't let me buy it because I'm underage" I say puting the car in gear.
" language, are you looking forward to going back to work as a resident instead of an intern, I mean you will have to look after your own interns but I'm sure you will be fine" meredith mumbles as I drive us home.
"That was alot of information, but I have 2 more days off, yes I am looking forward to bossing people that are 8 years older than me, I mean this is going to be great" I say as I pull up to the house.

------------------------------------------------------------

" were home," I yell as I throw my keys on the side.
" finally, April is so annoying," lexie says dragging me upstairs.
"Why, what did you do" I say plopping down on my bed.
"I ate the last chocolate bar,"she say plopping down next to me.
" April get your ass in here." I yell making my head hurt.
" what," she say poking her head through the door.
" here," I say throwing her a box of tampons and a chocolate bar.
" thank you," she says hugging me.
  " your welcom now release me from your arm or I will remove them from your body." I say smiling, she backs away closing the door behind her, "don't worry I got you the same but I got you more chocolate" I say curdling into a ball.
" you ok," lexie says looking at what position I am in.
" same as you," I say resting my head on her stomach.she rubs my back and drift off to sleep even though I has only just turned 4 in the afternoon.

Lexies pov

"Hey lexie, lily" April mutters as she walks through the door.
" shut up April," I wisper as I point down to lily asleep on my stomach.
" well do you guys want to watch a film," she wispers as she points to lily tv that we recently mounted on the wall.
" yeh sure,can we wait until she's up though" I wisper and April nods, closing  the door behind.

Lily's pov

I wake up in a cold sweat, dammit another nightmare about the shooting, I go to stand up but lexies arms are around me," your drenched in sweat, you ok" She says rubbing my back.
" Oh I'm fine I'm gonna go have a shower then do you maybe want to do something " I question before grabbing my towel. whilst I'm in the shower I close my eyes, getting flash backs of bleeding out in that supply closet, until I get snapped out of it, by a know on the glass door," I'm in the shower what do you want do you want," I say quite aggressively.
" it's me lexie, I heard you struggling to breathe, you can talk to me you know" she says sounding sincere.
" I know,but I'm fine so I don't need to talk and can you pass me the towel" I pleed from behind the door.her arm could.e through with a towel in hand I grab it and wrap it around me then clambering out of the shower.

------------------------------------------------------------

The entire house thought it would be a good idea to watch some of merediths mothers old surgical tapes. I was falling asleep to a surgery, this has never happened it probably doesn't help that every time I close my eyes  I hear the trigger being pulled and the feeling of bleeding out in the closet.
"I'm gonna go upstairs, night guys," I say swiftly leaving the room.i get to my room and plug my guitar into my large amp which is a better quality, I start to play sweet child of mine by guns and Roses half way through I change it to the theme tune of top gun.
" Lily, can you turn it down a bit" I here Jackson yell from the bottom of the stairs.i deliberately turn up the volume and start to play pumped up kicks.
" seriously, turn it down" he yells again.i walk over to the door and open it, waiting for him to say something else so I start playing again.
"We cant here, so turn it down," this time it was slightly aggressive.
" seriously, f**k off" I yell back before slamming my door. I continue to play for around an hour, until my phone rings I look to see that it is rider, so I immediately pick up.
L: hey what's up,
R: hey do you want to go out for dinner tonight,
L: yeh sure what should I wear.
R: something kinda fancy, I'll see you in a couple of hours, love you.
He hangs up to quickly for me to say it back but now I had to find something kinda fancy. I walk down the stairs into the living room grab lexies hand and drag her along behind." Woah, woah, what going on" she says kinda panicked.
" can you help me find a niceish dress, I'm going out for dinner in 2 hours" I look at her and beginning to stress as I'm not actually sure I own any dresses," do you have any clothes I can borrow" I question, as I pace the room.
"Calm down, I have some dresses although they may be a bit shorter on you, as I hate to say it your taller than me" She reassures me," come on." I follow he up to the loft as that was where her room was, as when she originally moved in with George April moved into her room, and then George, well he died, so lexie moved back fully and now just lives in the loft. We looked for about half an hour before we found a navy blue skater dress.
" how have you been sleeping since the shooting," lexie questions whilst curling my hair. I jerk forward at the question because the reality is that I haven't I sleep for a couple of hours here and there but I'm usually awake trying to go over surgical procedures in my head or quiet frankly having flashbacks.
"Oh I've been sleeping fine, why?" I say trying to stay calm.
" I've noticed that you have been shaking, crying and constantly waking up in a cold sweat, you also have bags under your eyes, I just need to know your ok," Lexie says curling the final section of hair.
" honestly, lexie I'm fine, I'm sleeping fine, I'm fine" I say putting my mascara on.
" what time are you going o.." lexie starts to say before meredith yells up the stairs.
" Lily riders here" meredith yells loud enough for Australia to here her. I walk  down the extremely steep stairs that go into the loft which wasn't to hard as I was wearing my navy blue converes boots." Ok what have you done with lily, this is odd." Jackson says whilst looking at everyone else in the room.
" I'll see you guys later," I wave before closing the door behind me.
