A.N. I am so pissed a Shonda right now, it isn't even funny. So I'm going to write these… A bunch of one shots strung together… I think only in one will Lexie actually die…
So, I am a RENT- head. That will explain some of these chapters…
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. RENT and all associated plotlines don't belong to me… And Grey's Anatomy and the characters obviously don't belong to me. Seriously. And Obviously.
Chapter 1: In Which Lexie Doesn't Die
I feel myself slipping. I'm going, going, I only barely register Mark's words. He's frantic at this point. I do hear one thing. He tells us we were meant to be. I smile and repeat that, the words feel so right in my mouth. I'm fading. And then I'm gone…
I wake up in darkness, and it feels like I'm floating. The darkness is cold, and I can feel a warmth ahead. The light, it looks so good. So peaceful. I'm drifting towards it, and then I see him. George. My friend and roommate who I had lost so long ago. George. And then I stop drifting. I can feel his presence. I had no idea things like these were true.
"Lexie," he says sadly, "I'm not supposed to see you here yet…"
"I know George, I know," I cry.
"He loves you," he states matter- of- factly.
I can't even say anything, I just burst into tears.
"Turn around Lexie, and marry him."
"Can I even do that," I whisper.
"You can try."
"But you-"
"I know."
"Why."
"I can't tell you. I don't know myself. I think I was supposed to, but you aren't."
"Thank you George," I say, my voice thick with tears.
"Go."
He leaves no room for argument. I'm drifting away from the light now, and faster this time.
I can barely open my eyes. They flutter open, and I see Mark crying, over my dead body. Damn. "Mark," I whisper. Although it's barely audible, he hears.
"Lex," he breathes. "You're, you're not-"
"I know."
I hear a chopper in the distance, and Mark looks up. He's smiling. And suddenly I know that George was right.
This was the way it was meant to be.
A.N.- (Sigh of relief) Much better than the actual scene. I think I need to stop forming emotional attachments to fictional characters. Anyway, for those who don't know the genius of Jonathan Larson, I based the scene with George on the scene in RENT when Angel tells Mimi to turn around and listen to Roger's song… I wanted it to be a RENT death when I was watching it last night. The next one is going to be where Lexie actually dies. And it will be painful to write. Until then…
