    I was sitting in the hallway with Will waiting for Jo or Alex or somebody to take me home. "You know Em I'm really glad you were here" He smiled looking down at his feet. "Me too" I smiled.

"Really I mean it" He emphasized. "So do I" we were on the same page. He moved his hands one on the back of my head one on the back of my neck and pulled me in. That kiss felt like forever.

"I should get going" I smirked. "Goodnight Morgan Shepherd" He chuckled. "Goodnight William Shroyer" I walked away. Which felt hard when my feet felt like lead begging me to stay.

--------

    "Hey Morgan, you ready to go?" Alex asked. "Mhm" I hummed. I still wasn't happy about my sleeping arrangements. It's so embarrassing having to take two bags to school and then into the hospital.

    "Jo should be in the car already, she was supposedly heading there" Alex spoke. "Okay" I replied. I had a feeling he sensed something off.

    "Okay you already know the drill Em, in and out" Alex reminded me as we pulled into the driveway. "Yep" I sighed.

    I used the key under the door mat to get in, yes I know cliche, yes I know if someone tries to break into our house we're cooked, but it's what we had to do.

    I packed a bag as fast as I could trying to get in and out, praying I didn't forget anything. It was eerie for the house to be this quiet.

   "You got everything?" Jo asked. "I hope so" I replied and we drove off. I zoned out the whole way there. Thinking about Will but then also thinking about Jakob.

I've wanted Jakob since I was like what? 9? But he can't commit and called me a whore. Will he's cute but he's rude but he doesn't mean it but then maybe he does? I'm so confused.

-------

"He kissed you??" Taisa questioned. "Yes and he's perfect and cute but there's still Jakob" I reminded her. "Girl please tell me you are not still thinking about that zero, he has serious issues" Taisa laughed. "But I've wanted him forever!" I exclaimed.

"I know but I think Will is a sign" she suggested. "A sign of what?" I wondered. "A sign it's time to move on!" She elaborated. "Maybe you're right"

-------

"Dinner's ready," Jo knocked on my door. "Okay" I followed her out to the kitchen where Alex was putting a wrap on spaghetti and meatballs. One of the few things he can handle making.

I was texting Taisa about Biology from what I missed, waiting for them to come back over. "You know the rules Morgan, phone away" Alex stated. "Sorry" I apologized.

"So how was everyone's day?" Alex asked. "Crazy" I replied. "How so?" Jo questioned raising an eyebrow. "Well first Jakob called me a whore, the Will kissed me" I revealed.

"WILL KISSED YOU?" Jo questioned. "JAKOB CALLED YOU A WHORE?" Alex shouted at the same time. "I'm gonna kick this little pricks ass!"

"Alex I think that would be frowned upon, you're a grown man" Jo laughed. "Yes and I'm fine, he basically just made a comment, no biggie" I brushed it off.

"No biggie?? I'm going to kill him! Does your mother know?!!" Alex was now in predator mode, or something? Idk? "Yes Alex she was there!" I answered, "but so was Will."

Alex sat back down. "Alright then, you know Derek called Mer a whore once or something" he recalled. "What when?" I questioned.

"Back when we were interns, your Aunt Addie had just divorced him and Meredith was choosing between him and the vet, and he called her a whore" Alex explained.

"Mer dated a vet?" I laughed. "Yes she sure did, but this was back before they even liked me. This was back when I was called evil spawn" he joked.

"That whole part off you're life is still so weird to me, I remember when I was an intern and you slept with Leah and Heather at the same time" Jo reminded him. "Well they weren't the only ones" Alex said under his breath. "Alex karev!" Jo scolded. "Oops?" He said.

-------

"I'm going to bed, I just wanted to come in and tell you goodnight" Jo explained. "Okay, don't be too loud" I smirked. "You heard that?" She questioned. "Every time, love you night" I hugged her.
