Get into the elevator. That's all that was rushing through Lexie Grey's head after she got shot. She had to get away from Gary Clark. His words still stuck in her head. "You killed my wife, now I'm going to kill you." She remembers the sad look on his face when he pointed the gun at her, she remembered him say he was sorry, then he pulled the trigger. This was the moment that made her despise her photographic memory. She had never felt pain like that before, it was like she was burning from the inside out. It took all the strength she had to run the other direction and crawl into that elevator. She made it in there just in time. The pain became unbearable and she slipped into the darkness.
Mark Sloan and Alex Karve rain towards the nearest elevator when they heard the gun shoot. Sure they were both currently in love with the same girl but that didn't mean they were gonna help one another out. It seemed like hours before they heard the ding of the elevator and the doors opening. Running inside they quickly closed the door and sighed in relief, for now they were safe.
Alex was the first to notice when he looked down. "Oh my god!"
Hearing the panic in Alex's voice, Mark turned around to find the girl he was in love with bleeding. "Lexie!"
"The two both bent down, Alex tried to find the source of the bleeding while Mark tried to wake her up.
"Lex, can you hear me? Lexie wake up." Mark gently shook her face a little her eyes fluttered open.
"She's been shot in the abdomen. We gotta get the bleeding to stop." Alex told Mark as he took off his shirt and began to apply pressure to the wound.
"Mark?" Lexie mumbled under her breath, her breathing heavy.
"Lexie look at me. Stay with me ok. Do not close your eyes. You hear me?"
"Its Gary Clark. I killed his wife. Now he killed me."
"Lexie you are not going to die." Alex told her as he kept trying to stop the bleeding. "Me and Mark are not going to let you die."
The elevator doors opened and the two quickly got up. Alex ran to get a gurney while Mark picked Lexie up in his arms.
"Lets get her to an on call room. We can lock the door." Mark told Alex as the checked to make sure they were clear before running into the nearest on call room. They quickly shut the door before turning there attention back to Lexie.
"Lexie your still with us right?" Alex asked as Mark grabbed scissors and cut her scrub top off so they could get a better look.
"I'm so tired." Lexie mumbled.
"Mark were losing her!"
"We need to get her into an OR immediately."
"We cant without risking us getting shot too!" Alex snapped back.
"Do you want your girlfriend to die or not?"
"Well be worse help if we get shot too!"
"She needs blood and an IV." Mark told Alex as he began to pack Lexie's wound with gauze. That was the best they could do for not. Stop the bleeding and hook her up to an IV.
"I'll go." Alex left the room and Mark turned to Lexie. Her breathing was becoming more heavy and she was sweating like crazy. "Lexie stay with me. I know your in a lot of pain and I know you just want to sleep but you have to stay with me ok?" He told her as he gently touched her face pushing her hair out of the way. It had been so long since the two had had any physical contact. Sure Mark had wanted this but not like this. Now with Lexie dying right in front of him. He received a small nod from her and he took that as a good sign. "I love you Lexie. I should never have let you walk away that night. And I mean what I said the other day. You could have a husband. I want to marry you and I want to have babies with you. I want to have a little girl who will be the spitting image of her mother. She will have those doe eyed brown eyes that are irresistible and your hair color. She will be smart just like you and have your photographic memory. She'll be daddies little girl and have me wrapped around her finger. Will have a little boy who is a ladies man just like me. Will have to give him the talk at a young age because no lady on earth can resist us Sloan's. He will be a football player and go to college on a football scholarship. Will grow old together and will sit on the front porch of our house watching are grandchildren play. Will live to be one hundred and die in each others arms. So you do not get to die on me ok? Lexie you have to fight. You have to live so this all can happen ok?" Mark hadn't realized he was crying until he saw the tears drip onto Lexie's stomach, now wrapped tightly in gauze.
Alex stood there as he listened to Marks speech. He didn't want to interrupt. Sure the guy was an ass be he loved Lexie. Alex cared about Lexie and he didn't want her to die. But that wasn't the same kind of love. Him and Lexie both new that no matter how hard they would never work out. She was still in love with Sloan and he still loved Izzy.
"I Love you too Mark." Lexie replied before everything went black.
"I grabbed everything I could." Alex said rushing over to Lexie and Mark. They hooked up the IV and started giving her blood, along with morphine.
The two sat there in silence staring at Lexie. There was nothing more they could do but make sure she stayed stable. Everyonce in awhile they would talk to her to make sure she was still conscious then check her vitals.
"Lexie?" Alex said as he stood up and walked over to her. She didn't reply back, gently shacking her he tried to wake her up. Nothing "She's unconscious!" Alex told Mark when he tried to get her to wake up.
"Come un Lexie wake up!" Mark shouted as he shook her. "Damn it Lex!"
"Her pulse is slowing!"
"We gotta get her out of her." Mark told Alex, fear showing in his face.
"Alright lets do it." Alex said as he unlocked the door. He check both directions before running towards the elevator. Mark waited a minute or two before he too ran towards the elevator, pushing Lexie's gurney. Alex held the doors open for them and once the two slipped into the elevator they quickly shut it.
The elevator doors to the lobby opened and a team of paramedics rushed over to them. Everything was a blur as Mark and Alex began to explain Lexie's Condition and what happened. They rushed her away into an ambulance that would head to the near by hospital. They would only allow one of the two to ride in the ambulance with her. The two glanced at one another before Alex gave Mark a nod telling him to go.
