Hi everyone! This is my first ever fanfiction, so it probably isn't very good. I would appreciate reviews! This is a story I started to write about my favorite Grey's Anatomy character; Alex Karev. I hope you like it. It's a little angsty right now. It will probably become more angsty later on. Review if you would like me to continue, please! Also, please ignore any grammar mistakes. I did it kinda fast. The next chapter should be better. Also, I don't own Grey's Anatomy. And one last thing... enjoy!

Alex Karev walked the halls of Seattle Grace Hospital as a confident young doctor. Some called him cocky and others called him a jerk, but that was what Alex wanted. He had always been thought of as the bad kid from a bad family and to be thought of, as a good kid was just weird. But one thing Alex did like about Seattle Grace was that nobody knew about his past. He liked that nobody felt pity towards him. They just called it how they saw it; Alex only wished he could be nice to them. Although nobody would guess it, he desperately wanted to be friends with Meredith, Christina, George, and Izzie.

However over the next few days, Alex's longing for friendship would be put on hold. It seemed like everything that could go wrong for Alex went wrong. George and Izzie hated him more than ever when he played a prank on George that he thought would be funny. Meredith acted like she was disappointed in him. And Christina well he just didn't get along with Christina. And before he knew it Alex had resulted to his old ways of defiance and anger. He was arguing with everyone especially Dr. Bailey. But none of that compared to what he walked into Monday morning. Bailey had told them they were getting a special case. It was a middle-aged woman with a rare disease. Alex, Meredith, George, Christina, and Izzie all went to the room with Dr. Bailey to meet the woman. As soon as Alex looked at the woman he knew he had made a mistake.

Her name was Ms. Brigs and Alex prayed she didn't recognize him, but it didn't work. She recognized him from the moment he entered her room. With a smirk on her face she said, "Alex Karev? That cant be you! Do you work here?" Alex replied by bolting for the door. He could hear her yelling behind him, "Wait! I want to talk to my little delinquent!"

Back in the room, everyone was in shock. What had just happened? Everyone gave unsettling glances towards each other. Then Ms. Brigs chuckled and said, "What? That wasn't Alex Karev was it?" Dr. Bailey found her voice and said, "yes… how do you now him?" "Well" Mr. Brigs said, "I was his tenth no eleventh yes eleventh foster mom." That statement led a shocked George to say, "Alex was in foster care?" "Yeah. You didn't know?" They all shook their head. Izzie asked why and Mr. Brigs said, "Well the same reason every kid is. He came from a bad home. His father was abusive and a drunk. His mom was schizophrenic. And he was a big pain in my behind! He was always getting into fights and stealing. Finally I couldn't take it anymore so I turned him into the police. He clamed to have been stealing food for his brother and sister, but that little jerk was always lying." Everyone left Ms. Brig's room in a daze. Were they still talking about the same person? It was hard for everyone to believe. They gathered at the information counter and just looked at one another. Waiting for someone to say what they should do. Bailey was the first to speak up "Well should we go find him?"
