Move in?

Meredith's POV

The beer was ice cold. And oh how good it felt down my throat. Six days ago I almost died and my mother died. I saw her, and I saw Deny. Oh if only Izzie could of seen him. I sighed, I had to many thought in my head and it was annoying me. I almost died, I have to live my life to the fullest now.

Then I heard a familiar voice next to me.

"Joe. Beer." Alex said.

"Coming up." Joe replied.

Alex sighed and placed his arms on the table he then turned to me. "hey."

"Hey." I said.

"How you doing?" he asked.

I knew what he was talking about, of course.

"Fine, I'm fine." I said. "My body's warm now."

He chuckled. "Good."

"Yeah." I said.

Joe came back with the beer and then handed it to Alex. "Thanks." Alex said.

"Yup." Joe said. Then he left.

Then it seemed like a light bulb clicked on in my head in that moment. George was living with Callie in a hotel. He moved out and there was an extra room. Alex has been a good friend, he can be an ass though. Wait, where does he live?

It's time for change. I need to start living my life and being a better person. Starting…Now.

I turned to him. "Alex."

He looked up. "Yeah?"

"Do you want to move in?" I asked.

"Move in?" he repeated.

He looked shocked.

"Yeah. I mean like George is married and he's living with Callie in a hotel. And so there is a spare room." I said.

"Move in?" he repeated once more.

This time he actually sounded happy and excited.

"Do you want to?" I asked. I bit my lower lip then released.

"Okay. But one question." He said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

He hesitated. "Never mind."

"You sure?" I asked.

"It's just that…Izzie and you and Derek and-"

"Alex. Listen I want you to move in. Please?"

I was begging. Now I'm the one who's shocked.

"Okay, I'll be by early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." I smiled.

He got off the stool and then paid Joe. "Night Mer." He said.

He started to walk away then turned around. "Mer?"

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Glad you didn't die." He smiled.

"Thanks. Night roomy." I laughed.

He chuckled then left the bar.

I sighed then I sipped more of beer. "Change is good." I whispered to myself.
