This takes place after Mark comes back from LA and he and Lexie have the painfully short conversation outside the hospital.

Just a heads up there will be some violence (attempted rape), but nothing too graphic.

I don't own anything.

I can't even look at you right now.

Those eight words echoed in her thoughts as she watched him walk away from her, further and further into the distance towards his parked car. Lexie had never seen Mark look at her that way, with such disbelief and disgust. But there was something else, something beneath that look which took her a minute to identify. Hurt. She hurt him, badly. And with that revelation Lexie's heart sank even further and she felt that she was going explode. This feeling dulled quickly when she took a second to assess the situation fully.

He did it too.

Lexie thoughts made a complete one-eighty. She went from feeling so gut wrenchingly guilty and terribly sad to pure unadulterated anger. Why should she stand there feeling so terrible when they both did the same thing? Made the same mistake? They should be even, they canceled each other out. She slept with Alex and he slept with Addison. But apparently, Lexie wasn't entitled to being human, to make the same mistake Mark made. This thought alone made her the angriest, Lexie was so sick and tired of everyone expecting her to be so perfect all the time. Why is it that she wasn't allowed to make bad decisions every once in a while? She is only human after all.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The hum of her cell phone was enough to snap her out of her thoughts and she checked the caller ID.

Meredith Grey

She knew why her sister was calling her, she was her ride and she'd kept her waiting long enough, so she began walking towards Meredith's car where Derek and Meredith were undoubtedly waiting for her. She didn't answer immediately, she wanted to take a moment to calm herself down before answering.

"Hey Mer, sorry I got held up. I'm on my way to your car right now."

"Actually Lex, it looks like Derek and I are going to have to hang back a bit, this surgery is more complicated than we anticipated… Do you think you could wait a couple hours?"

"It's okay Meredith, I'll figure it out."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it's no problem, good luck with your patient."

"Thanks Lexie. I'll see you at home."

"Bye"

With that Lexie began to walk towards the hospital hoping that there was anyone still at the hospital who would give her a ride.

This is why I hate carpooling.

If she had driven her own car to work she'd be on her way home right now instead of having to go ask someone for a ride. As she reached the hospital entrance she took a look around. It was actually a very nice night. The sky was clear and it wasn't too cold. Very unusual Seattle weather. As she looked out into the night she decided she would walk home, it was a very beautiful night, the walk wasn't too terribly long. Twenty minutes she estimated, give or take a couple.

She reached into her bag and grabbed her pair of earphones and connected them to her phone and turned on her music. She set off.

This is nice. I needed this, to clear my head.

Clearing her head wasn't as easy as she had hoped, her thoughts were filled with the day's events, particularly the one including Mark. No matter how angry she was at him for saying those things to her, she still loved him, she couldn't help it. She thought of their time together, it had been the best relationship either of them had ever been in, it wasn't perfect by any means, they were both imperfect people, but they loved each other, they made each other better.

You're the one who put me back together.

Remembering the words Mark had said to her once upon a long time ago made her throat constrict. She wished she could go back to that time, the time when he loved her back.

I can't even look at you right now.

Her heart tightened in her chest, she wondered if they would be able to move past this, if they were strong enough to ever get back to the way they were.

Lost in her thoughts Lexie didn't realize she was being followed, that is until she felt a strong tap on her shoulder. She turned around quickly ripping out her earphones in the process and she saw him.

He was tall, dressed in sweatpants and a sweater. His hair was a reddish-brown color and his eyes were dark and intimating. Lexie took a step back startled by the mean look in the stranger's eye.

"Hi." Lexie addressed the man politely. "Are you lost? Do you need directions o-or … s-something?"

Her voice wavered as he took a step closer to her, definitely in her personal space. Lexie took a couple steps back. The man was frightening, and judging by the smell of him he was completely inebriated. She glanced around the deserted side street willing somebody or something to distract this man so she could make a run for it.

"You're pretty" he whispered

His voice made Lexie's skin crawl, he was standing so close to her she could practically taste the tequila stench coming off of him.

"What's such a pretty girl like you doing, walking all alone?"

He reached out to grab her shoulder but Lexie shrugged away from his touch instinctually. He did not like that. Lexie watched his face contort angrily and his eyes darken.

"L-look, th-th-that's uh very um nice, but I really have to get going."

She decided that she'd head back to the hospital, it was closer. She tried to walk past him but he pushed her into some nearby bushes. She reacted quickly and attempted to shove her way out of there, but he was bigger and stronger. She searched her photographic memory for what to do in a situation like this. She came up blank, she couldn't think or breathe.

The second he ripped off her jacket, she decided she would fight, she would get out of there or die trying. She balled up her fist and with as much strength as she could muster she punched and kicked him everywhere she could reach. She was screaming so loud now that her lungs were burning and her bones were aching.

I should've waited for Meredith.

Then she saw it, and she knew she was going to die, all her resistance was futile. He used the small but very sharp dagger to rip off her shirt and cut away tank top leaving her in only her jeans and bra. She looked at him and she knew what was going to happen before it did. She saw the sharp blade of the small knife glint before he stabbed her in the abdomen. She screamed, she stopped fighting everything hurt too much. He stabbed her again, she felt like she was on fire. She wanted the pain to stop.

She thought of all the people who she loved and would never see again, her father who she had recently grown apart from due to his ever-present struggle with alcoholism, but who once upon a time was the best father a girl could ever ask for. Her younger sister Molly who Lexie liked to think she was still close with but she lived so far away she could hardly remember the last time she even called. She also thought of Molly's daughter, Laura, Lexie's only niece who would now never know her Aunt. And Meredith, her half-sister who so detested Lexie when they first meant but she had learned to love her, at least love her the best way that dark and twisty Meredith Grey knew how. Then she thought of her post-it brother-in-law Derek who was so kind to Lexie from the get go. She'll never see their real wedding. She thought briefly of all the other doctors that she had become close with at Seattle Grace Mercy West and lastly, she thought of Mark, the man who she loves more than anything, the man who she was sure she was supposed to end up with but who not even one hour ago couldn't even look her in the eyes.

She tried to remember the last time she told him she loved him, the last time she told any of her loved ones that she loved them. She couldn't.

He stabbed her again. She barely felt that one, she figured she was just in shock now. She couldn't bring herself to move anymore. He was going to rape her, she knew it. She was going to get raped and left for dead. She wondered how long it would be before her body was discovered. Who would be the one to have to identify her? Would it be her father or one of her sisters? Meredith, she decided, Molly was too far away and Thatcher far too unreliable.

At least she would finally see her Mother and George again, she had missed them both so much. This thought alone almost made her smile. Almost.

Just as she accepted her fate and he began to cut away her bra and her pants, she heard a scream. Maybe she was still screaming, she couldn't be sure.

She heard it again, but it was different. Two different screams she deduced, two different people. Lexie felt his weight shoved off her and someone was… crying?

There was a struggle, she heard the panting of two men somewhere next to her, then she distinctly heard the heavy steps of someone running away.

"Jerry! Jerry! Call 911. I think she still alive!"

The girl's voice was unfamiliar but not at all unwelcome. Lexie watched the girl as she quickly removed her own jacket and carefully wrapped it tightly around Lexie's exposed torso, she looked down and thanked God that he hadn't managed to take her pants off Lexie looked at the girl and saw that there were tears streaming down her face, wiping them away with her long sleeves.

"I-It's okay. You're g-gonna be okay." The girl said is a hushed whisper "Help is on the way. I'm Ana. Can you tell me your name?"

Someone else sat on her other side, she assumed it was the one called Jerry. Lexie looked at them both, taking in just how young they were, the girl couldn't be a day over 16 and the boy maybe 18 or 19.

These kids just saved my life.

"Your name?" she asked again, this time more gently. And Lexie realized that she also had tears streaming down her own face. She paused to think how strange it was that she didn't realize that she was sobbing before telling her saviors her name in between shallow breaths.

"L-lex Lexie Grey"

The last thing Lexie remembered was the obnoxiously loud sounds of the ambulance coming to save her.

She saw Mark's smiling face behind her eyelids before everything went dark.

Wow. That was intense, I don't know where it came from, I just got the idea and it wouldn't go, so this happened.

Also let me know if you care about the length of the chapters, is this too short? Should I make it a bit longer. I realize that this probably won't get a whole lot of readers because I'm very late to the Slexie ship, but for those few of you that are reading please review and let me know what you think. I already have the next couple of chapters written and ready to go. I'm just going to see how this chapter is received before posting any more chapters.
