The Complications Of Falling

The Heartbreaking Truth

Alex's Pov

After going after Jo's husband, I decided to go home. I get home and it's chaos. The hospital is evacuating the patients outside. Smokes everywhere. Just being out there was hard to breathe. I was walking inside when I see Mer run inside looking upset. I decide to go after her. I tell her that I decided not to go after Jo's husband. She turns to walk away when I grab her arm and swing her back around.

"Mer what's wrong"? I ask concernly.

"Nathan is going back to be with Megan" She chocks out into sobs.

I look at her with a sympathetic look in my eyes. "Hey, hey, Mer I know I said many times that I hate him. But I'm so sorry that your getting your heart broken again. I also know if it was Derek you would already be gone" I assure her. She gives me a smile and I wipe the tears out of her eyes.

"Thanks Alex I always know I can count on you" She confidently says.

"Your welcome Mer, I'm also your person. I still don't know what that means really" I chuckled. She begins to laugh too.

"So are you going to tell Jo you went after her husband"? She asks.

"I can't what if she's mad at me for interfering when she told not to" I state.

"Alex" She replied.

"What"? I answer.

"You have to, otherwise she will be mad when she finds out from someone else and not you" She explains.

" I know" I sigh.

"Baliey is giving a speech about the fire and what floors to avoid" She sighed as We head to where Bailey is talking.

While baliey is explaining I was listening to Baliey when Jo comes up to me .

"They took Stephanie to a burn clinic center" Jo says sounding weak.

I don't say anything. After Baliey is done taking. Then bam stuff fell from the floor above.

"I guess avoid the 4th floor nurses station" Baliey blurted.I head to my patient.

"Jo come with me" I stated.

She follows me to my patients room. After the sub interns come. One of them drops their glasses in the open patient. Jo handles it like a boss. I thought about telling her. But it just wasn't the right time to bring it up. Well it's never good time to bring anything up. The next day I was waiting in the line to get in to work. When I see Jo and Ben talking. Just right then the glasses guy came up to Jo. After the guy left. I hear Jo say something to Ben.

"You slept with him"? Ben questions.

"No I had sex with him" Jo says shyly.

"You slept with glasses"! I asked out loud.

Jo turns around. She has this scared look on her face. She was waiting for my reaction. I just burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry , it's just really funny" I respond between laughs.

I just walk off. Part of me was jealous but the other part didn't care. I mean we were broken up, so none of us cheated. I was watching Mer's surgery when Ben told me that Jo is afraid I would physically hurt her. That rocked me to the core. I never thought that she was going to be scared I would hurt her. After my talk with ben. I go talk to Jo.

"I found your husband" I blurted out.

"Oh god Alex" Jo starts to panic.

"But I decided not to go after him. And I would never hurt you. That guy who's your husband is who my dad was. I would never ever hurt you and I'm sorry I scared you" I confessed.
