Anything Can Happen/ Merlex

Drama Filled Life

Alex's pov

It's been a few days since I woke up from a coma. Mer has been very vague with me. I wake up most nights with nightmares about my father beating me. I always wake up with tears dried on my face. It's been a very difficult recovery. I still go to all my therapy sections. I'm still in the hospital, I haven't been released yet. Bailey required me to take a stupid psychic classes. She thinks I have sucidal thoughts. I was just super depressed when Mer left me. I wasn't thinking. I knew I shouldn't of tried cutting myself. Nobody else knows this but I have been depressed since Mer's assault. I'm so fucking overjoyed that Nathan fucking Riggs is in prison for rest of his miserable life. He ruined every bit of my happiness I had left over from my fucked up childhood.

  Mer walks into my hospital room with a huge smile as she carries Liam on her hip. Liam giggles and yells out. "Daddy"! Liam exclaimed as he's ready to jump out of Mer's arms. "Liam" I chuckle as he nearly falls out her arms. Mer has this huge smirk on her face as she watched me and Liam have father and son bonding. I missed this so much. Having time with my little man. Arizona taps on the door to get my attention. I signal her over. Mer and Liam leave the room.

  Arizona sits in the chair next to my bed. Her face was calm, but I could tell she was upset. "Alex... why did you do that to yourself"? She said as her voice was barley hearable as she points at the large bandage on my forearm. I felt so ashamed of my behavior. I didn't mean to cause all this, I don't know. Well this shit. I looked down at my arm and faded flashbacks replayed in my head. The knife edging closer to my skin as it sinked in. Arizona noticed I was a little zoned out and tapped my shoulder.

"Zona, I'm s-o-r-r-y... I didn't mean to cause all this". I whispered as I start to take off the bandage on my arm.  Arizona pulled my other hand back, put her hands on mine. She squeezed mine hand gently as she pulled me into a comforting hug. I let the tears I have been holding in just let them fall from my eyes. The guilt was gnawing at me. I never felt so guilty in my life. I watched my brother get beat the crap out of. I watched my own father beat my mother until she unconscious with blood dried onto her blackened heavily bruised face.

We hear a knock on the door. It was someone I didn't expect. "Aaron"? I said shocked with widened eyes. It's been 10 years since I last saw him. It was right after izzie left me.

"Alex." He said with a smile planted on his face.

"What are you doing here"? I asked confused he was even here. Aaron walked through the door , instead of standing right in front of the doorway.

"Mer, told me you tired to kill yourself." Aaron said in shaky breath as few little droplets fell from his eyes. I have ever seen my brother so upset. Not even when he was beaten by our father.

"Aaron, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare anyone." I apologized as tears fell from own eyes as well.

He wrapped his arms around me and reassuring me he wasn't mad anymore. I hugged him back. He looks at me and smiles.

"Alex, I miss you buddy. How would you like it if I move to Seattle?" He asked waiting for my answer. I was a little shocked. He always would complain about the drive up here in the rain. And it rains here constantly. So he never came to visit. He did come here for me and Mer's wedding. That was the last time he was here.

"Really you would move down here. Seattle with all the rain you hate." I said shocked as I laughed. Aaron shot me a glare. I continued laughing my ass off. Aaron started laughing along, even louder than I was.

"Yes Alex, I'm serious. I would love to see my nieces and nephew more than I am able to. I love Mer's kids as while. Baliey and Zola are so fun to be around. I miss you Alex. You're my big brother." Aaron explained as my smile on my face grew wider. I was so happy, that Aaron ,my little is going to move down here. "That's great Aaron. I would love to see you more too bro." I stated back as he walked out the door.

Mer's pov

Alex and his brother were having some brother bonding. I was thought they should be closer. I love Alex's family. I have never met his mother. I met his father before his surgery was botched by Shane, due to lack of sleep. I swear some people never learn to take a little nap once in while. I haven't been very happy with Alex lately. After I thought he cheated on me. He tried to commit. As I scrubbed that floor, it gave me flashbacks of when my mother tried to kill herself when I was a little girl.

A felt a tap on the shoulder, I flinched back. When I turned to get a glance who it was. Cristina was standing in front of me, holding a coffee in her left hand. "I thought you could use this." She said as she handed me the coffee. I took a sip slowly ingesting the hot contains. It tasted sweet like chocolate.

"Thanks." I simply said as I drank the rest and set the cup down next to my feet as I sat in the waiting room chair. She looks over at my face and frowns.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Her voice was full of concern. Tears started to form in my eyes. I kept trying to hold them back at the bay. It was so hard. My eyes filled with more tears and it became harder to hold them in. Cristina sat down next to me, pulling me into her arms. Her shoulder was steady and I felt myself losing myself into engulfs of tears as my voice strained and became shaky. "Mer, talk to me." Her voice became more panicked and unsteady.

"No." My voice was soft. "No, I'm not. Alex tried to fucking kill himself. Yes he's fine now. But what about me!" I cried into her arms harder. I could hear Cri's soft mumbles as my cries died down.

"Mer, I know your scared to be alone. But he won't be going anywhere." She said wiping my eyes with her fingers.

I felt her hands glide down my back, soothing gently as I started to pull back, wiping my eyes. I knew she was right. I took another sip of my now cold coffee and rolled my eyes at the bitter taste. It was almost like a stringent taste on my tongue as I coughed back. "This tastes like crap, Cris." I complained as I stood up, walking over to trash and dumped it out.

"You look like crap." She jokes, I looked down and I knew she was right.

"No, you look like crap." I said back. It was like we were interns again. Now we were more mature, had kids and no more inappropriate sex. Okay maybe only with my husband.

"Are we interns again, Mer?" Her voice wasn't serious it was all for play. I rolled my eyes back and scowled at her.

"No, we aren't. But you still look like crap." I mocked as I stood up and walked away.

"Whatever, old lady!" I heard her yell as I kept walking.
