DEREK WOKE UP TO THE beeping of Violettes alarm. He rolled out of his bed and over to her side and saw how she was still asleep.

"Vi." He stood at the door way, unamused.

"Violette!" He called her name a few times before she groggily woke up.

"Huh?" She threw her pillow over her face to avoid the bright light that was shining through her window.

"Your alarm woke me up. How did your alarm wake me up and not you?" He emphasised the 'your', still not amused.

She apologised before rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

Violettes gaze turned to the clock next to her and was immediately hit with realisation.

"Derek! I'm late!" She screamed before throwing herself out of bed, Violette quickly pushed him out of her room so she could change and only a few minutes later she came out ready. "Oh god. I'm so late." She told him as she dragged him to the car. "Why are you laughing? Drive!"

"Sorry. Sorry. I'm driving!" He laughed at the way she was acting and drove through the woods. There wasn't enough time for the scenic route, also known as taking the ferry, so he sped through the traffic.

Once they arrived, Violette ran as fast as her small legs could take her to the locker room. Thankfully, the interns were still there. Though, they were all changed and ready for the day.

"You're late." Cristina stated her as if she didn't already know.

"I'm aware." Violette put her scrubs on as quick as she could. After all the chaos, she had forgotten to take her medication.

"You look exhausted." Izzie added.

"I'm aware." Violette sighed whilst tying her hair up into a ponytail.

"You're hot when you're exhausted." Alex muttered into her ear. Before she could say anything, Bailey walked in.

"Come on." She groaned and waved her hand for them to follow her. "Fools on bikes killing themselves. Natural selection is what it is."

"So what's up with the Nazi, she off her meds." Alex whispered to the group causing them all to laugh.

"Never heard of the race?" George asked.

"What race?" Violette stared at George confused.

"Dead baby bike race."

"Dead baby bike race people!" The chief announced and continued to describe what 'dead baby bike race' meant.

"Okay people, rules of trauma." Bailey started explaining to her interns.

"Ooh I'll take him." Violette began walking over to a boy before Alex jogged behind her.

"I'll join you." He winked.

"If you insist."

"You got nice touch. And by the way, you are rocking babe." 'Viper' the patient flirted with Violette once Alex had left. "You ever date patients?"

"I- you know, you really should let me take you for some tests."

"No can do. Gotta go!" Viper got up from the bed and began walking off.

"Okay. Hold on, you do realise you are leaving against medical advice?" She asked in which he nodded in reply. "I need you to sign an AMA form."

"Darlin' I will do anything you want me to."

"Okay... just sign the form."

"All done babe. Hold on." He began leaving the room but went up to her, he put his arm around her waist and kissed her. "That was for good luck babe. Don't worry darlin' you'll see me again!"

"I-" Violette stood a bit shocked.

"Did that guy just kiss you?" Alex walked in after witnessing the whole scene.

"I- I think so."

"So how come a patient gets to kiss you before I do?"

"Are you serious, Alex?" Violette was confused on if Alex was being serious. After all, he's Alex.

He walked into the room and closed the door. Alex closed the blinds and got closer to her. "Dead serious." He whispered before planting a soft kiss on her lips and then leaving her with her thoughts, very much like Viper had not so many minutes ago.

"Alex?" Violette walked into the locker room to see Alex sat on the bench. "Are you okay?"

"Your crazy friend tried to attack me." He told her as he looked up into her eyes that he admired so much.

"What do you mean?!"

"Doesn't matter, come here." He patted his hand down on the seat next to him and she sat down. "Date me, Violette."

"Do you really want to?"

He put a strand of her hair behind her ears and softly smiled. "I really want to."

"I'll date you, Alex Karev." She smiled whilst he cupped her face with his hands and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Viper?" Violette had walked into the ER to see viper sitting on a chair. "Are you okay?" She asked as she looked at how disoriented he seemed.

She saw that Viper was holding his side and all of a sudden he began coughing up blood.

"Oh my god!" She lifted up his shirts and noticed that his stitches had been ripped open and the area around them had swelled up.

"Alex, it's Viper!" Violette exclaimed as she was on top of the gurney holding down on the wound.

Besides being a bit stunned, Alex pushed the gurney. "Somebody get the elevator!"

They had called an OR and were going as fast as they could to meet Bailey there.

"Violette? Okay somebody help her off, go get cleaned up and scrubbed in, you too Alex." Bailey told the two whilst Alex helped Violette of the gurney.

"Are you okay?" He whispered, putting his hand on the small of her back as they walked out. "Hey?" He realised that she wasn't really listening and probably a bit shocked at what had happened.

"Oh. I'm fine, god that was terrifying."

"I know. Come on, let's scrub in." He smiled and they began scrubbing.
