It Was Me!
Chapter 2
It was the day after the reveal there was tension in the air between Mark and Derek the whole hospital felt it, not that knew why the tension was there, and as a result Lexie was stress eating.
However at the lunch table Meredith was buying the sandwiches and salad for herself and Lexie.
"Here," said Meredith, chucking a sandwich at Lexie. "This is all they had left."
Lexie glanced at it – egg mayo. She was sure she had told Meredith she couldn't eat eggs, hadn't she. She looked up to see Meredith smiling at her.
"Is that ok?" asked Meredith.
"Yeah sure," said Lexie, her hand going to the wrapper.
Across the cafeteria Mark was watching.
"Hey stop staring at you're girlfriend before anyone else finds out," whispered Callie.
"I can't help it," answered Mark, glancing at Lexie.
"Well why don't you go sit with her," suggested Callie.
"I'm sat with you," he answered.
"Go I've got rounds," smiled Callie, walking off.
So with his lunch Mark stood up and made his way over to the Meredith, Cristina, Izzie, Alex, George and Lexie.
"Why is Mark Sloan coming over to us?" asked George.
Meredith glanced at Lexie who was halfway though her second sandwich.
Lexie swallowed and looked round to find Mark behind her an unreadable expression on his face as he glanced at the sandwich she was eating.
"Is that?" he asked.
"Yeah," answered Lexie, her tongue beginning to swell up.
"I'll go get a shot of epinephrine," said Mark, turning on his heel and heading off to the ER. Lexie following close behind.
"Why?" asked Meredith, looking after them.
"She's never told you has she?" asked George.
"Told me what?" asked Meredith.
"Lexie has boundary issues so when you made that omelet for her ages ago and bought that sandwich for her she had to eat them. She is however allergic to eggs," answered George. "So I reckon right now she's started to get a rash and her throat might be closing up."
"So I almost killed my sister?" asked Meredith.
George nodded.
Down in the ER.
"You really need to work on your boundary issues," smiled Mark, as he injected Lexie's arm.
Lexie just nodded.
Back up in the cafeteria that hadn't answered was asked again.
"So why was Mark coming over here?" asked George. "And how did he know about Lexie's allergy."
