Chapter 4: A shock to the system

"Ridley! Rid! Would you just stop for a minute?...LEXIE!" Mason yelled as he chased after her down the street where she had began to run before coming to a halt.

"No! You do not get to call me that! You don't get to say her name!...was all this a lie?" She asked motioning between them as something suddenly dawn on her.

"What do you do mean?" He said not fully understanding what she was getting at.

"Did you just get closer to me so you could use me to get information about Mark from my dad?" She said feeling sick to her stomach at the thought.

"No,I didn't know who you were when we met remember, plus I would never do that to you. I care for you Rid." he said trying to close the space between them although she took a step back.

"What about after, when realized that Derek Shepard was my dad? Is that when you started to care for me? Is that why you were so keen to start something between us?" She whispered as the tears began to fall like rain.

"No please let's just go back to my place or my car even so I can explain everything." he said leading the way to his car as she followed behind, the least she could do was listen to him.

Ridley couldn't believe this, nothing seemed to add up in her head. It was like this was all one big horrible dream that she couldn't quite escape from and no matter what she did she couldn't wake up from. Thinking ahead she sent a quick text to Matt as they silently drove to Mason's apartment

Ridley: Hey are you busy? I might need you to come and pick me up.

Matt: No I'm just in my room reading, just tell me when and where and I'll be there! Everything okay?

Ridley: I'm not sure yet it's a long story

As soon as they got to his apartment he took her jacket so he could hang it up by the door, he led her to the couch so they could sit and discuss this. He knew she was confused, how could she not be. However he had never told anyone this before, he knew no one would care as much as her or even would understand what it was like being defined by your family or lack of.

"My full name is Mason Everett Sloan Ward, my mum met Mark when she was in New York for work since she's a flight attending and I guess they met in a bar one night and you know" he explained although it was clear that it creeped him out thinking about his mom that way.

" You have his middle and last name? So what happened after that I mean you're English" she said trying to fully understand everything.

"That's where my mum is from, when she got back to Britain she found out she was pregnant and didn't have anyway to tell Mark since he gave her a fake number so I was raised there rather than here." he said hold her hands that were sitting on her knees as she hunched over slightly, she didn't move her hands from his which he took as a good sign.

"So he never knew about you?" She said although she stunned by it all she had to admit that there was a sadness to it all. Ridley was blessed she thought to herself,she grew up with both her mom and a bunch of Uncle's that were like second fathers and Aunt's that were second mom's,but Mason only had his mom.

" I don't know I mean she told me that she sent a letter to him but I don't know if he read or even got it, she didn't even tell me really until I was 7" he told her as if he was trying to shake away a bad memory from his mind.
