IN JAKES ROOM:
Mark was drawing on Jake's face, out-lining where he'll be cutting. Cristina and Genevieve are watching as Jake looked at himself in the mirror.
"You're drawing the medial to the tumor" Cristina said, "It's a guideline for what the bone structure should be." Mark said as he continued to draw.
"You hear that? I'm gonna have bone structure" Jake said making Genevieve smile.
Genevieve turned to look at Jake's parents and Derek, giving him a look to which he gave her one back.
"Jake." Mrs. Burton said, "What do you think am I Dali or more of a Picasso?" Jake asked smiling as mark chuckled and continued drawing on Jake's face.
"Could you stop doing that for a minute please?" Mr. Burton asked and Mark stood up from the chair and Mr. Burton squatted near Jake.
"Jake. I'm sorry. This surgery, the brain surgery is very dangerous" Mr. Burton said and Jake shook his head.
"Oh don't say that. You don't get to change your mind." Jake said and Derek sat down where mark was previously sitting at.
"You know, I know Dr. Sloan has made you some big promises...but the bony tumors inside your skull are bad" Derek said and Genevieve and Cristina looked at each other.
"I don't care!" Jake said raising his voice, "The bleeding will be hard to control. I'm not trying to frighten you. I just want you to understand" Derek said.
"I do understand. I understand this has nothing to do with plastic surgery. So, if I'm going to be under the knife anyway then I-" Jake said but got interrupted by his father.
"The plastic surgery can be done at some-".
"Sorry to interrupt," Genevieve started but Derek cut her off, "No, Dr. Ryder " Derek said and Genevieve scoffed.
"Jake is actually right" Genevieve said and Mark agreed making Derek scoff.
"There's no reason to put him through a second surgery and a second round of anesthesia, it's much safer to just do it all at once" Mark finished Genevieve's point making her nod.
"Honey. We just wanna focus on keeping you alive." Mrs. Burton said, "Come on Mom. I almost died when I was 10, and then again when I was 12, and then again last year. But am still alive, so I say we go for it" Jake said and his parents looked at each other.
"Jake." Mr. Burton said, "Look, I know that you think I'm perfect just the way I am but, that's your job to do that. For once in my life, I'd like to think that someone else thought that. Please?" Jake said and Genevieve almost started crying right there, she looked down for a few seconds and when she looked up Derek and Mark were looking at her.
She nodded as to say she was fine and they looked away.
All the doctors left the room to give the family time to talk.
"Vie, W-" Mark started but got interrupted by Derek, "Gen, come with me" Derek said and Genevieve gave Mark a smile as he scoffed.
"So how are you doing" Genevieve asked and Derek sighed "I'm doing awesome. My wife is here ruining my life and my best friend who screwed her is also here" Derek said and Genevieve chuckled, they walked towards Meredith.
"I have to go somewhere" Genevieve said walking away leaving Derek and Meredith alone.

DURING JAKES SURGERY.
Derek was operating on Jake's brain, Cristina next to him and Genevieve next to Mark on the side waiting to start operating.
"I'm considering moving here" Mark whispered in Genevieve's ear and she looked at him, right when she was about to answer him, Jake's heart monitor started beeping rapidly making her look back at Jake with worried eyes.
"Oh son of a bitch. Alright I need another unit of blood!" Derek said stressed, "Put in the pressure and fusia" Derek said and Genevieve did as told.
"No carotid. We've got V-FIB" Genevieve said and they all started yelling as Jake flat lines.
"Charge to 200" Mark said, "Charging" Cristina said, Mark grabbed the paddles to jolt Jake's heart into starting again, "Clear" Mark said and the paddles buzzed, Jake continued to flat line.
Genevieve and Cristina eyes were locked into the monitor that stayed flat lined.
Genevieve stared at Derek who was scrubbing out, she stayed there looking at Jake's dead body on the table. She thought she was the last one there.
"Vie, it's not your fault" Mark said trying to comfort Genevieve because he knew her too well to know that right now she was blaming herself. And he was right, she was.
Mark pulled Genevieve for a hug and she instantly hugged him back, his perfume filling her nostrils, being in his arms felt right.
"He believed he was the ugliest person to exist, but I thought he was adorable." Genevieve said as her voice broke on the last part and her tears started to wet Marks scrubs.
"It's okay" Mark said kissing Genevieve's head and she calmed down.
"Do you want me to talk to the parents?" Mark asked and Genevieve nodded "Can you?" Genevieve asked looking up at him and he smiled at her, "Of course" Mark said and Genevieve thanked him and continued to hug him, he didn't complain.
__________
Derek and Genevieve were walking towards the elevator, "You need a drink?" Derek asked and Genevieve nodded.
They walked in the elevator and the door was about to close when Addison came in.
"Hey" Addison said looking at Derek and Genevieve, Genevieve ignored her. She was mad about the fact that Addison lied to her face saying that she only slept with Mark once.
"Hey" Derek said avoiding Addison's gaze, "I haven't seen you all day" Addison said turning to Derek.
"I didn't wanna see you today" Derek said and Genevieve sighed, why was she always in between these type of conversations.
"It's not my fault he showed up Derek" Addison said upset and Derek nodded, " I know".
The elevator doors opened and Mark came in, "Fuck me" Genevieve said under her breath as she rubbed her temple.
Mark pressed a button and stood next to Genevieve, who was leaning on the wall of the elevator.
"Don't beat yourself up-" Mark started to say but Derek shook his head and interrupted him, "I'm taking the stairs" Derek said walking out before the doors closed, Mark and Addison held the doors open.
"Oh come on," Mark said and Derek turned around "How can you forgive her but not me?" Mark asked.
"I didn't forgive her, and with you. I have no obligation to try!" Derek said and walked away leaving Genevieve behind, she walked forward to leave but the doors closed on her face making her groan.
"Gen-" Addison started to say but Genevieve cut her off, "Oh, look! Someone's calling me" Genevieve said as she pretended to be on the phone with someone.
When the elevator doors opened she walked out instantly leaving Mark and Addison looking at each other.
"Who do you think called her?" Mark asked as they left the elevator as well, "Probably Alex" Addison said shrugging and Mark gave her a look.
"What's the deal with him and Vie?" Mark asked and Addison chuckled, "They're best friends" Addison said making Mark scoff.
"Best friends my ass. He's in love with her" Mark said and Addison smirked "You're jealous" Addison said and mark shook his head.
"I'm not." Mark said as he walked away from her.
