4 years later,

Lexie for the last 4 years avoided family dinners, and buried herself in medical school. She and Lindsey finally were graduating from medical school. Lexie graduated with honors and was able to give speech again. 

Now it was time for their intern year to begin, Bucky and his crew were now 4th year residents and luckily for Lexie she was one of Natasha's interns. Lindsey was one of Bucky's interns. 

Bucky saw Lexie putting away a chart, "Lexie, where have you been?" He said 

"I don't know you...Dr Barnes" she said as she read his hospital badge.

"Lexie.." he whispered as she walked off. 

He went up to James' office and laid down on his dad's office couch. James walked in to see him. 

"Son? What are you doing here?" James said as he laid his patient's chart on his desk. 

"She's never going to forgive me is she?" He said 

"Did you do something to upset Serena?" James said 

"Lexie dad. Lexie just acted like she didn't know me." He said 

"Son, she was 16 and heartbroken. You swooped in like a knight in shining armor and put her heart back together. Then you go and do the very thing by breaking it again." James said 

Bucky looked down. 

"You should of done alot of things differently, being honest that it was nothing more than a summer fling, secondly you should of sent Serena home when you saw that she was visibly upset instead of pushing her to the side. I talked to Lindsey after she got back from LA she told me that Lexie told her that you told her you would talk to her later, thats why she said it wasn't important anymore." James said as he leaned against his desk and crossed his arms. 

Bucky closed his eyes as he remembered that day. 

"So no she may never forgive you and you will just have to accept that. But my question to you is this. Why didn't you tell anyone? You felt comfortable to Serena." James said 

"I was afraid especially of Lindsey, I was scared that everyone wouldn't be accepting. I was honest with Serena because she and I talked about how many sexual partners we had. And I know how it may look to some people, but I was faithful to Lexie during move in week I didnt sleep with Serena until after classes started. She saw that I was upset because Lexie wouldn't talk to me and I was distracted during a study session." He said 

"Get back to work son. Let this all go you are married and have 2 kids. You can't keep dwelling on the past." James said 

Bucky walked out with his head hung low.
