With every step she took farther away from the hospital, her heart ached a bit more. Even by the time Lexi and Alex were through the door and inside the craziness of Joe's Lexi couldn't get what Mark said to her out of her head.
"I am saying you could have a husband." His voice was constant in her head, despite the numerous people making conversation, the drunk men play pool in the back and the music, his words talked to her clear, making her heart pound.
She would always love Mark. When she found out him and Teddy were dating it destroyed her, not even her sister sitting down on the bathroom floor with her, comforting her as she cried made it better. However, he wanted to settle down and have a family.
"I am still a resident, I am at the hospital seven days a week. It isn't far to Mark," she kept repeating to herself as Mark's voice whispered in her ear and her own thoughts speed through her brain.
He was her best friend, always stood by her and always made her happy even if that mean going to extreme measures. Because she wanted their relationship to go pubic in the hospital Mark had a wrestling match in the middle of Settle Grace. She loved him.
"Lexi, Lexi Lexi!" Alex raced his voice.
"Sorry, what?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"A beer and large fries."
"That will be two beers a burger and large fries, Joe." Once grabbing two beers from the fridge, he placed them in front of Lexi and Alex. Then carried the burger and fries from the counter that separated the front from the back and laid them into of each other.
Putting one fry at a time she began mumbling to himself.
"I love him, I will always love him. Our chance at survival was three percent after I broke him but we made it. The only reason we broke up was because of Sloan or we would still be together."
"What did you say?" Alex said, hearing her talk over their chewing. Still bring fires to her mouth, she asked. "I could of stayed, right? In a relationship there is always give and take and all I have done is take I love him, he said I put him back together when really he has turned me from…
Alex I need to go, I need to go back to the hospital." Running out the door and across the street. She went throw Settle Grace's doors along with an ambulance.
Running through the doors she searched the plastics floor.
"Derek, have you seen Mark?" she asked bumping into him when searching the ER.
"He just went into an emergency surgery a family with third degree burns just came in."
"Thanks."
Lexi paced outside OR4 knowing Mark was inside, she wasn't sure if she wanted to propose to him inside an OR with a whole bunch of others watching and she couldn't take him out of surgery. r heart was pounding but the sight of Mark pushed her out the door. With a mask over her face she went throw the door and said,
"Mark." Dropping his scrapple he turn around and said,
"Lex, what are you doing here?"
"I want a husband."
