Chapter 1: A ruined relationship
Time setting: First two chapter takes place 2 weeks after 4.11
Lexie Grey was sitting in an empty on-call room seething. She couldn't believe him. He had told her that he wasn't seeing her anymore, and just now she had seen the two of them naked in another on-call room. She closed her eyes, letting a few tears slip, as she remember their conversation a week ago when he told her that Rebecca meant nothing, and that he would want to start a relationship with her instead. What a fool she had been to believe him. It turned out to be one of the worst mistake she had ever made.
Flashback
A week ago:
"Lexie! Lexie wait!" Alex Karev shouted as he chased the intern through the tunnel.
Lexie halted, turned around and faced him with a look of contempt: "What do you want from me Alex?" She was becoming frustrated with him. He was constantly following her since last week, ever since she found out that he had a girlfriend while he was screwing her.
Alex sighed, she won't make this easy on him, he knew that. He also knew that he deserved it after he treated her. Yea, it's true that he told her that it was sex only, but she was growing on him…that is until Rebecca decided to show up. He had given in to the fact that there is no Ava. Only Rebecca. He had fallen in love with Ava, not Rebecca, and they were two very different people. So, last week he had told her that he is going to move on and that whatever there was between them is over.
Ever since then, he has been trying to talk to Lexie, and ask for maybe another chance. He had also realized that Lexie was a nice girl…not to mention incredible hot, and that there might be a chance that they could form a relationship. After all, she liked him. A lot. But, now he wasn't very sure.
Taking a deep breath, he stated: "Well first, I want to tell you that I am sorry, and I don't usually say sorry, so its taking a lot of me to say this. Also, Rebecca is married, and last week I told her that we can't continue seeing each other anymore. She has a baby, not to mention a goddamn husband. So yea, she won't be coming back anytime soon." Alex stopped to catch his breath, and Lexie took this moment to jump in:
"I could care less if you are dating her or not…I mean you did make it clear that it was just sex…no strings attached…" Lexie paused to swallow the lump in her throat. No matter what she told her or anyone else, she had fallen for Alex Karev, despite everything and everyone telling her that it would only lead to heartache. Only now she knew how true it was. She opened her mouth to continue, however, Alex raised his hand in a motion as to say that it's his turn now.
"I know I just said it was just sex, but what I did wasn't fair. You didn't deserve it." He broke away awkwardly not knowing how to continue. He was never good with all this feelings stuff.
Alex stared in surprise at the sincere apology coming from Alex Karev. She could see that he was uncomfortable, and realized that it wasn't something he did occasionally.
She decided to end things on friendly terms, so she simply stated: "It's ok. It hurt a little to know you were seeing someone else, but as I said earlier, there were no strings attached. I think we should just forget everything that's happened between us and just be friends…."She was cut off as Alex pressed his hands against her mouth, with a smirk on his face. "You ramble worse than Meredith, and that's saying something." He stated without taking his hand off her mouth. He could see a deep blush appearing on her pale face as she tried to take his hand off her mouth. She succeeding and replied: "Well, we are sisters. And the whole point of that ramble was that we should just be friends. That's all." With that she turned around to walk away but before she could move more than a feet, she found herself against the wall, with Alex's lips on her. The whole only friends speech left her mind, as she found herself responding back. After 5 seconds, she regained her senses and pushed him off. She immediately took a step back from him trying to regain her breathing. After a couple of seconds, she had regained her composure and looked up at Alex with an angry spark in her eye. "Didn't you hear a word I said? I can't do this again. You have hurt me enough as it is. I can't be involved with you…that has disaster written all over it…" she rambled on. Alex took that time to gather his thoughts and decide what he was going to say next. He cut off her ramble and said: "Ok, so that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. But, let me say something. This is hard for me to say, so don't interrupt. See, the thing is, I like you. I didn't realize until last week. I have had a fair share of failed relationships in my life and a horrible childhood. All these aspects are the reason why none of my relationships work. I am working on it, and I think that if we give us a real shot, things can work out. I know I am not the best guy, but I am trying to change. So, what do you say? Give me one more chance, date me?" Alex let out a deep breath he didn't know he was holding. Now all he had to do was wait for her reply. Not a very easy task, let me tell you.
Lexie started in shock at Alex, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her rational part of the brain was saying that it was a bad idea, and nothing could come out of it. However, her heart was saying the complete opposite, and in this case it was the heart that was dominating her decision. She knew she might regret this decision, but she knew that their relationship deserved a real chance. So, looking up him, she smiled at the nervous look on his face, and answered a simple word: "Yes." That's all Alex needed, he pushed her against the wall again and kissed her. A kiss that marked the beginning of their relationship.
End flashback
Lexie knew, the minute she said yes to him that it would end badly. A nagging thought persisted in her mind; however, she chose to ignore it, giving in to the feelings that have been building ever since she first met him. Now, sitting in this on-call room she finally knew how completely true that nagging thought was. She should have never given. Her rational side was right; a relationship with Alex had disaster written all over it. Her relationship hadn't even lasted a week, and it was broken in the worst way possible. More tears fell from her eyes as she remembered the scene she had seen in the on-call room no more than 20 minutes ago.
Flashback
20 minutes ago
Lexie was in a good mood. Dr. Yang had been in a good mood today and she got to scrub in a valve replacement, and she was supposed to meet Alex in a little while. Just thinking of Alex put a smile on her face. She had fallen hard for him, just after one week of dating. She was going to meet him in an hour and they had planned to go to Joe's together. Their relationship was going smoothly and she could tell that Alex was trying to make things work. Since there was still an hour till she had to meet Alex, she decided to go take a little nap in an empty on call room. She had been on-call last night and was seriously sleep-deprived. Coming across from the first on-call room she opened the door, not noticing the sounds coming from inside. Just as she had opened the door, she wished that she hadn't. Inside she saw a scene unfold that will haunt her till the day she died. Lying on the bed were Alex and Rebecca, halfway through taking each other's clothes off. As soon as she realized what had been transpiring in the room, she let out a gasp, turned and ran full speed in the opposite direction. Away from Alex, away from the scene unfolding in the room. She blindly all the way to the East wing of the hospital knowing it would take Alex a while to get there, that is if he would have bothered coming after her. She located the first empty on-call room in the wing and ran in locking the door behind her.
End flashback
First, she had just cried, but after all her tears had been spent, and new emotion began taking the place of sadness: anger. She angry at him, but more than that, she was angry at herself. She had gotten too emotionally attached. Became too naïve to think that he might have actually change. She snorted at that thought. As if Alex could ever change, a tiger never changes its stripes. Just as quickly the anger had come, it disappeared, leaving her feeling empty, and betrayed. As she felt the tears build in her eyes again, she wondered how in the world she had been happy just ½ an hour ago. She knew she shouldn't have let herself become too attached to Alex, because she knew he was the only one who could break her. And, he had just done that-broken her in the worst way possible.
A/N: This is a Alex/Lexie fic. This was a pretty dull chapter I admit, and the flashbacks were too long, but I had to include them. This is sort of the background info/ filler chapter, so that you guys don't get confused with what's going to be happening next. I promise it's going to get interesting very soon. Please, please REVIEW! Feedback and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated and once again please REVIEW! They make my day
