Chapter 1

SCENE: ON-CALL ROOM

(Lexie is sitting on a cot when Mark walks in.)

Mark: Hey, I got your page.

Lexie: (Standing up) Good.

(Mark goes to kiss her but she backs away.)

Mark: What's wrong?

Lexie: I can't do this.

Mark: Okay, we can just talk.

Lexie: No, I can't do this. (She gestures between the two of them.) I can't do us anymore.

Mark: What?

Lexie: When I came to your hotel room that night I didn't know what it would lead to. One night stand, sexual fling or relationship. I had no idea. After that first night when you came after me despite saying it could only happen once I thought, "well at least I know I don't suck in bed." But then when I broke your penis and you still wanted to spend time with me I thought you cared.

Mark: I do.

Lexie: Not enough. I get that your and Derek's friendship has been strained and you hate the fact that you went against something he asked you not to do. But this is different then what happened in the past. I'm not Derek's wife and I'm not now nor have I ever been romantically involved with him. So this is so different. I get that there is an age difference and I get that you have a reputation in this hospital. But I saw past all of that, I did it on my own. I'm a big girl, I'm an adult and I'd like to be treated like one. And the fact that you let Derek through Meredith, who has barely acknowledged me as her sister, dictate what I should do with and who I should spend my time with shows me how little you all think of me. I started having real feelings for you because I saw something in you, something beautiful and something real. I thought you did too and don't say you do. Because the fact that you still feel the need to hide instead of growing some balls and go forward with our relationship shows how much you are ashamed of me. I can't be the only one sticking up for this relationship, in fact I refuse to be the only one who's in this relationship 100%. I deserve better than that and if this is how it's going to be, than I deserve better than you.

(Before Mark can say anything Lexie walks past him and out of the on call room. Mark sits down on the cot and puts his head in his hands.)

A/N: I know the first chapter was a little bit of a bummer but I promise this is Slexie all of the way and it will get happier. I hope you like where I'm going with this.
