"I love you too Lexie." Mark said as he stitched up the young girls wound. He hated how Owen always thought things needed to be done quickly in the ER. Any patient that came in was to be worked on as quickly as possible even if that left them with a nasty scar or two. "You sure you don't wanna wait for me?"
"No I'm really tired I'll just meet you at home." Lexie told him with that grin still on her face. She was telling the truth. Today had been exhausting, all those teenagers and young adults coming in with GSW. It was pure hell for Lexie but Mark had been by her side and helped her through it. Plus she had one last stop she wanted to make before she went home.
"Alright I should be there in about in hour." Mark told her as he went back to stitching up the young girl.
Lexie walked out of the supermarket with one little box in her bag. She new she could just snag one for free from the supply closet but she was afraid someone could see her. She didn't want the hospital gossip mill to start turning before she new the or sure answer. Plus what if she was wrong then the rumors would be ten times worse. She did not need to deal with that, Mark did not need to deal with that.
Unlocking the door to her and Marks apartment Lexie threw her bag and coat down on the couch and ran towards the bathroom. She quickly read the directions even though it was very simple. Pee on the stick, wait for five minutes then read the results. Pink plus sign your having a baby, blue negative sign your not having a baby.
After peeing she sat the test down then went into the kitchen to pour herself a drink non alcoholic of course. She didn't want to hurt the fetus that could possibly be growing inside of her. Sitting down at the table she held her warm cup of hot tea and placed one hand on her stomach. If she had been pregnant last year she would of freaked out. She had freaked out with the whole Sloane thing, but this year was different. Her and Mark were different. They loved one another and nothing could break them apart not this time.
Lexie went to place her empty cup in the sink when she heard the sound of someone banging on the door. "Mark?" Lexie asked with worry in her voice. Mark wasn't supposed to be home for at least another thirty minutes. Slowly she walked into the living room only to find the front door standing wide open and bashed in. Now she was beginning to worry. "Wh-who's in here?" Lexie asked.
Slowly she turned around and walked quickly into the kitchen to grab her phone and call 911. Someone was inside her house. Someone had broken into her apartment. She was about to reach for her pager when someone came up behind her grabbing her. She tried to scream and put up a fight but they were to strong. Every time she moved there grip on her got tighter. Lexie had to get out of here, she didn't know what this guy wanted but she had to do something. Not knowing what else to do Lexie bit his hand as hard as she could and kickd her leg back causing him to lose his grip and stumble backwards into a book shelf.
Lexie ran as fast as she could to the front door She had almost made it when she once again felt a tight grip on her arm this time much tighter, causing server pain to run through her arm. Lexie thrashed around trying to get the attacker to let go but it was just causing much more pain in her arm. The guy was wearing a ski mask and she had no clue who it was. After trying to get out of his grip for a third time it worked but she soon felt a violent push and was shoved to the ground, her head hit the wall and soon everything went black.
Mark new something was off the minute he drove up to the apartment building. There were police cars and ambulances surrounding the area. Residence and by standards were standing around trying to see what was going on. Marks thoughts immediately went to Lexie. She was probably around her somewhere trying to figure out what was going on. Getting out of his car he ran up to the massive group of people.
"What's going on?" He asked a women who was standing near by.
"The girl across the hall was attacked. Someone broke into her apartment." The lady told him. Mark thought about what she had just said, the woman across the hall, this lady lived across the hall from Mark and Lexie, she had yelled at the two numerous times for being slightly to loud. The woman across the hall was Lexie.
"Lexie!" Mark said as he quickly ran into the apartment, dodging the crowed full of people and taking the steps two by two. Lexie was hurt. His Lexie was hurt.
"You cant be in here!" A police officer said as Mark pushed open the apartment door only to find officers searching the house and a group of Paramedics surrounding an unconscious Lexie.
"That's my girlfriend!" Mark said as he ran over to Lexie. "Lexie wake up come on Lex!" He said as he gently shook her unconscious body.
"Sir you can't be in here." A paramedic said as he tried to pull Lexie away.
"The hell I cant!" Mark shouted at him. "I'm a doctor at Seattle Grace Mercy West hospital and this is my girlfriend."
"Sir we are doing the best we can. We got the bleeding to stop but we have got to get her to the hospital now." A young girl paramedic said as they left Lexie up onto a stretcher.
"I'm coming with you." Mark said as he ran after them and jumped into the back of the ambulance. Once they were on there way Mark grabbed Lexie's hand and squeezed it. "Come on Lexie wake up. You have got to wake up. I cant lose you again Lexie you hear me? I can not lose you again god damn it Lexie. Don't do this to me!" Mark said as tears began to fall down his face.
"She's coding!" A Paramedic said as Lexie's heart monitor began to beep. "Charge to two hundred!" She said as she picked up the paddles and used them on Lexie but there was nothing.
"Lexie!" Mark shouted as someone held him back.
"Charge to two fifty." Once again they used the paddles on Lexie and this time they worked. "We got a heart beat she's stable for now."
Mark bent down and cried. Lexie had just died right in front of him. The girl he was in love with had coded right in front of him! "Please don't die on me Lexie. You do not get to die on me."
