Summary: Addison comes back from L.A. after three years with visible scars and bruises. Alex notices, will he be able to help? Addisex, obviously, Also decided it's a very sad story. Review, and make me very happy.

Disclaimer: I.DON'T.OWN.ANYTHING. If I did, Addison wouldn't be leaving, and Alex and Addison would live happily ever after, and Rebecca would die. So, clearly, I don't own Grey's or anything related.

A/N- I decided I need a sad fic.. I'm not quite sure why, though.. I just thought it was necessary, school for me is over Monday, so lot's of writing time, Review, Please!!

P.S. The following song is what the story name is based on, I guess It kind of just fit the story, but that might just be my opinion?

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh
I'll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh
I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh

-"Look after You" by The Fray

Addison walked through the doors of Seattle Grace Hospital for the first time in three years. To be honest, she wasn't entirely happy to be back, but she was happy to be gone from L.A. Addison shivered at the remembrance of events that occurred for the past 2 years. She walked down the hall and spotted Derek.

"Addie??" Derek asked, walking up to her and giving her a hug.

"You're...back?"

"You say it like it's a bad thing." Addison raised her eyebrows and Derek laughed.

"You know I didn't mean it like that."

"I know."

"Why are you back, If you don't mind be asking?"

"I was bored of L.A."

Liar.

"And I missed Seattle."

Double Liar.

"Oh, well, it's great to have you back, Addie."

Addison said goodbye to Derek and went in search of the chief.

Addison entered the chief's office and saw Richard.

"Richard, you're still chief?"

"Yep. What can I say, I love my job."

"Well, let's get started, I guess."

Richard had Addison sign some papers, and when she was done she looked up.

"Who's the resident...in OB/GYN?" she asked, curiously.

"Alex Karev." Richard answered.

Addison's face fell, as she once again, remembered bad memories of the past, part of her had always still loved Alex while she was in L.A.

"Oh, well, I guess I'll be getting to work now."

Addison roamed the hallways of Seattle Grace, not sure what she was looking for, she saw Mark and stopped. She started to turn around, hoping to get away, but it was too late.

"Addison!?" Mark called across the floor.

Addison swore under her breath. "Damnit."

Mark ran up to Addison.

"Addison, you're back!" Mark gave Addison a hug, and she pulled away, clearly uncomfortable.

"Mark..." she warned.

"I really missed my chance, didn't I?"

"Yes." Addison replied and walked away.

Addison had placed all her stuff back in her office, and was getting ready to leave when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." she replied, putting her coat on.

The door slightly opened, and Addison caught a glance of Alex's face.

"Alex?" she asked, looking into his eyes after he fully entered the room.

"Addison..."

Before Addison could respond, Alex walked up to her and put his arms around her waist.

"I...Missed you." He said.

"Alex?"

"Yes."

"Why did you do it, why did you turn me down…twice?" she asked, on the edge of crying.

"I...was scared" Alex paused. "Every day, every day since you left for L.A. all I did was regret it."

Addison started crying and Alex rubbed off some of her tears. She continued crying and Alex wrapped his arms around her waist, he looked up at Addison and could see a few scars on her face, obviously covered by makeup…

Why were there scars??

Alex let it go, and decided he'd deal with that later, for now; they just stood there, holding on to each other.

Everything that happened to Addie in L.A. will be explained later in Flashbacks, yes I'm aware that it's not that sad yet, but trust me, it will be. Make my day and take 20 seconds to write a review. More reviews faster updates, so make me happy!

Thanks,
