Broken

Author's Note: I have had this idea in my head for awhile now, and I just felt compelled to write it. It takes place during season 5 when Mark and Lexie are hiding their relationship. Izzie does not have cancer. This has extremely strong themes. It deals with rape and the aftermath of rape. You have been warned.

Broken Chapter One

"Stay." Mark Sloan told Lexie as he grabbed her waist, pulling her back down to the bed. "It's late. Just stay the night."

"I can't." Lexie Grey smiled in between their kisses. "I've already stayed over twice this week. Meredith and Derek will start wondering where I am. I think they are already kind of suspicious. I keep telling them I ran into an old friend and crashed at their place." She frowned, "I think they are starting to think I am a slut.

He shrugged, "Who cares? Just stay."

"I will tell you what…" She sat up as she looked down at him. "I will stay, if you call Derek right now and tell him about us. If you just tell him, I will be happy to stay."

"Lex…" He sighed, rubbing her thigh. "I can't. Not yet anyway."

She nodded, "I know. And I can't stay."

"I want to tell him." Mark promised, "I do. I just don't want to mess up our friendship. I promised him I wouldn't do anything with you…I've already screwed up once." He told her, knowing he didn't have to mention the Addison thing, she already knew all about it. "I don't want to do it again."

"I understand." She paused, running a hand through her hair, "Just don't wait too long, okay?"

"I won't." He kissed her naked shoulder, "I promise. I just have to find the right time."

Lexie already had her keys in her hand as she stepped into the parking garage. At the beginning of her relationship with Mark she had parked on the street, but when she started to spend the night, he gave her a parking pass. She sighed, wishing she could have spent the night. She could not help but be disappointed that Mark hadn't taken her offer and called Derek.

She let out a sharp gasp when she felt a strong hand grabbing a handful of hair, pulling her back. The hand quickly darted around her waist, holding her in place. She opened her mouth to scream but when she felt a sharp object against her throat she suddenly stopped. She closed her eyes. It was a knife.

"I wouldn't scream if I were you, sweetheart." A man's voiced hissed into her ear.

Lexie blinked away tears, "Please, please, don't hurt me." Her voice cracked.

He laughed, "I won't hurt you sweetheart, as long as you do what I say, I promise I won't hurt you." Lexie let out a small sob as she felt herself being pushed to the ground.

She really wished she would have spent the night.

Christina Yang had made the call to Meredith. It had been a shock for all the doctors and nurses when Lexie Grey had been rushed into the hospital unconscious, multiple stab wounds, and suspected sexual assault. Bailey and Hunt rushed her into surgery immediately and she called Meredith. That was about ten minutes ago. She checked her watch, hoping Meredith would be there soon. She knew if…when Lexie woke up she would need all the support she could get.

"Christina!" Christina looked up to see Meredith jogging towards her, Derek followed closely, "What the hell happened?"

"Fifteen minutes ago Lexie came in by ambulance." Christina looked down, "She was unconscious and had multiple stab wounds…" She paused, "Meredith they think she was raped."

Meredith's jaw dropped, "Where is she?"

"Bailey and Hunt her in surgery…Would you like me to get an update?"

Meredith nodded. "Yes. Please."

"I will be right back."

Meredith buried her head in her hands as she sat down, on the waiting room chair, "I cannot believe this happened…How did this happen?"

Derek pulled her into a hug. "I don't know…That best we can do is just be there for Lexie when she needs us."

"They think she was raped Derek. I can't imagine what she must have been though…" She shook her head, "Or what she is about to go through."

"Hey…She will get through this. It will be difficult, but she will get through this."

"Meredith." Christina walked up to her friend. "There are six stab wounds. None of them are fatal. Luckily the knife didn't hit any major organs. She might have a few broken bones…"

"Thank God." Meredith let out a sigh of relief. "Was she…"

"They aren't doing the kit until after the surgery. But Meredith, she was missing her underwear."

"Oh God." Meredith rubbed her temples, "Where did this even happen? Where was she attacked?"

"I'm not sure. After she was brought in we just wanted to make she was okay. There is a report…Somewhere."

"Hey what are you two doing here?" Callie Torres walked up to the group. "I thought you two went home hours ago."

"Lexie was attacked. Stabbed and probably raped." Meredith whispered.

"What?" Callie's eyes widened. "Has anyone called…" She was interrupted by her pager. "It's Hunt."

"It's probably about Lexie. He is in surgery right now." Christina told her. "OR 4."

"I'll be right back." Callie turned and jogged towards OR 4. "Damn it…" She cursed under breath, knowing calling Mark would have to wait. Making sure Lexie was going to be okay was her first priority. She would have to call Mark when she was done. She sighed, she had no idea how she was going tell Mark that his girl friend was raped.
