The Complications Of Falling

Crash & Burn

Mer's Pov

I heard a strange but familiar voice. I slowly open my eyes. I was shocked who I saw. I rubbed my eyes one more time to confirm that I wasn't seeing a ghost.

"Cristina" I said shocked.

"What are you doing here"? I asked still shocked.

"Alex called me and told me that Owen's wife has a tumor and you weren't taking the news well" She told me.

"Yeah" I sighed. The news was to fresh in my mind.

"Mer is there something going on with you and Alex"? She asked curiously.

"No, why do you think that"? I asked.

"Mer I have been gone for 4 years. I know you guys got closer. Jo is jealous of you. I think she even hates you" She told me.

"There's nothing for her to worry about. Me and Alex have gotten closer. That doesn't mean I'm falling for him or he loves me. He's just my person" I explained. Why can't she get that. When two people hang out a lot, doesn't mean we love each other. Of course we love each other, but not in that way. That's crazy he's like my brother. Like incest isn't my thing.

"Mer I don't think it was accident. Baliey told me that the police are investigating why it happened" she explained with teary eyes.

"Cris, I don't know so much happened. Alex told me everything was fine when I drove to work yesterday. Alex thinks someone messed with my car" I explain as tears fall on my bruised cheeks.

She stood up from the chair She was seating in. Cris leans into me with her arms. She wrapped them around me. She whispered in my ear.

"You will get through this Mer, your Meredith Grey" She smiled.

"Yes I am Meredith Grey and I'm the sun" I giggled.

I guess I giggled too loudly. Alex started to stir in his sleep. He opens his eyes.

"Cristina what are you doing here. Oh crap I was supposed to pick you up" He sighed.

"It's okay, evil spawn. I called your phone. It went straight to voicemail. And then I saw the news and I rushed down here" She explained to groggy Alex.

"Guys I'm hungry, can you get me something to eat"? I asked.

"Yes what would you like"? Alex asked.

"Maybe just a cheese pizza with sausage" I replied.

"I will come with you Alex" She states. I thought was werid. It was probably to check in.

"Okay" Alex said nervously.

They left the room. Some nurse knocks on the door. I tell her to come in. She checks my blood pressure and brought me a tray of food.

"My friends are getting me something from the kitchen" I told the nurse.

"Someone told me to bring this to you" she encouraged me. She pulls the tray with food over to my bed. I sit up slowly. The nurse left the room. I thought it was werid I never seen her before. I opened the cover. I spotted a paper I pick it up. It had red specs. I opened the letter and read it. It said.

"Hello, I guess you enjoyed my present. Don't worry more is to come". Signed person you fear. But on the back it said. "It wasn't accident you dumb bitch. And you got away, you will pay for the trouble you caused. This side is just for you. If you say anything about the back of this. I will slit your throat open and watch you die a horribly painful slow death. So if you don't want me to do that keep your mouth shut you stupid slut" signed your special lover.

I threw the note quickly. Tears were soaking my face. My breathing quickened. I could hear Alex and Cris coming back. I tried to wipe my tears. But Alex saw. God why does he have to know me so well.

Alex rushed to my side. Cris stood next to Alex with the same look on her face.

"Mer what's wrong"? Alex asked worriedly.

I handed him the note. It said this

Alex throws the letter in the trash. I saw Cris grabbed the letter and unfolded. She put in her purse.

"Oh my god"! Someone has been stalking you" Cristina said horrified.

"When I find out who this, I'm going to kill them"! Alex grumbled.

"We will find this person. And put that bastard in jail for doing this, okay" She expresses with a frown.

I just nodd. Cris leaned into Me and Alex does the same. We hugged for a while. We didn't care who saw. As we hugged tears stream down our faces. Neither of us bothers to wipe them away. Sometimes you just need to cry.

Alex pulled out of the hug and wiped his eyes. Then he storms out of the room. I kept thinking of telling them about the other side of the letter. But I don't want to die. I have no idea when this started. Cris had to leave. I laid there in fear every time a nurse came into my room. Everyone is probably gossiping about me.

Nathan came to visit me. He told me how sorry he was. I started not to trust people. Even the people I knew would protect me at all costs, I didn't trust anymore. Alex is one of them. I know he would never hurt me. He looked engaged when he threw the letter. Im just scared. Scared enough that I don't feel save in this hospital room. It's like making feel anxious. And I can't tell anybody or I'm dead. It's gnawing at me. I'm terrified all the time.

Later that night...

It was finally able to stop thinking about the letter. As I was closing my eyes. I heard the door creak. I started panic. I hear my heart thumping in my chest. The door squeaked as it was pushed open. I flung the blanket over me. I could hear the loud foot steps get louder. I stayed until quieter then a mouse. I didn't move a muscle. I acted calm on the outside. But on the inside I was shaken. I started to shake. The foot steps get quietier as the moved closer to the door. The door creaked open and shut abruptly, but also softly.

After I knew who ever it was gone. I peeked my eyes out of the blanket. The room was pitch black but I could see the light of the halls. I tossed the blanket and silently cried. I don't know how I'm going to sleep now. Every time I tried to close my eyes. I panicked and threw them open. It's going be a long night. "A little scared doesn't mean your broken" I whispered to myself. I was finally able to shut my eyes.
