chapter thirteen sympathy for the parents
season six, episode nineteen

❝ so you must be the
brother of this asshole. ❞



Meredith once told Aliya that psychologists believe that every single aspect of our lives and all of our thought processes and behaviour patterns were the direct result of our relationship to our parents, and that every relationship we have is another cosmic version of that very first relationship.

This very fact entered Aliya's brain occasionally, usually at the points in her life where she felt an overwhelming sense of deja vu, and that a particular interaction seemed to reflect the same hostility she received from her own mother.

Or, the same hostility she gave to her own mother.

Which, then led to Aliya's train of thought about how much parents actually influence their children's lives, both if they're present in their lives or absent. And, at the end of the day, we are just products of our parents in shiny new packaging.

That train of thought brought Aliya to whether she was on the bathroom floor, ignoring how highly unsanitary it was, with her best friend in the shower, a magazine flopped across her lap carelessly, with a mug of burning hot coffee in her hand, reading out the quiz on page thirty two which was titled 'What Nail Polish Colour Are You Based On Your Love Life?' in an incredibly busy bright font.

Seeing as the colour options were only black, pink, light blue and red, she was really questioning the validity of this very quiz.

She slurped on her coffee, reading question four out loud. "Oh, this is a good one. 'Are your past relationships affected by the way your parents displayed their love?'" She huffed, rustling the pages of the magazine. "A) Yes, definitely, B) Not even a little bit, C) I see some aspects it could've impacted past relationships and D) I don't know my parents' relationship that well. "

"D." Alex responded quickly through the shower screen.

The Levine woman tilted her head to the side, as if contemplating in a serious manner over this question just to get her true nail polish shade.

And, the fact she knew Alex was a solid A, but it was the early morning to argue seeing as Alex was at his most irritable at this time, like Aliya was the most irritable at night time, which may make some may wonder how they could possibly make it as friends.

"Are there a way you can put more than one answer?" Aliya asked, gnawing on her lip.

"I don't think that's the way quizzes work." He explained, the shower muffling his voice slightly.
