Jo woke up the following morning and felt someone breathing on her head. She looked up and saw it was Alex and realized Alex was holding her in his arms. She pretended to sleep for the next hour because they didn't have to be at work till 7 PM and she enjoyed Alex holding her. After one hour exactly, Alex woke up and saw Jo laying her head on his chest. She felt Alex move and decided to move too. Jo looked into Alex's eyes and they just stared at each other before Alex told Jo to go take a shower. Twenty minutes later she came out of the shower in nothing but a towel and saw Alex sleeping on the bed. She walked towards him and nudged him. "WHAAT? What happened?" he woke startled. "Nothing I'm just done taking a shower she said. She walked out and went in the other room to change into her purple shirt and blue jeans and came downstairs for "breakfast". Alex came down 10 minutes later in a hoodie and jeans and walked into the kitchen.
He saw Jo eating cereal and he reluctantly got a bowl and joined her. They ate in silence and could feel the awkwardness in the air. Jo finally broke the silence. "You didn't sleep well last night did you?" she asked. "Of course I did. If I didn't I probably would be sleeping right now", he said. "Alex don't lie to me. I was hurt and you comforted me but I can't get in your way. I'm sorry", she said as she grabbed her jacket and went towards the door. She felt like she over exaggerated the situation but she did not want to bother Alex. As soon as she did this, Alex got up and grabbed Jo's shoulder as her back was faced to his face. "The only reason I didn't sleep well last night was the fact that Peckwell hit you. No man should ever hit a woman no matter what. And thinking about that just scares me. No one should ever face what you did", Alex said. "I just didn't…". Alex was cut off as Jo grabbed him and hugged him as hard as she could. She could not have asked for a better best friend. But she knew in her mind she loved him. He cared for her so much and he loves her. She let go of him. "Thanks Alex", she said looking at him with her cute brown eyes. "And honestly, if you think I'm going to let you drive in this weather and in this condition you're stupid", he said with a smile as he grabbed his coat and grabbed her arm and brought her into the car.
They arrived at the hospital and Owen looked at Jo with concern. "Wilson, you okay?" he asked her. "I'm well capable of working today Dr. Hunt", she said with emphasis on capable. "Well alright then. Get in your scrubs and get to work!" he said and ran off with his charts to a trauma.
7 Hours later…
Jo went to the supply closet to look for some pillow covers when Alex comes out of nowhere. "Jo. There is something I need to say…I…" he was cut off my Jo kissing him. They both started blushing and Alex kissed her back. "I love you. When you told me how you couldn't sleep because of me I knew you cared. Peckwell never cared for me as much as you do and I want you Alex. I do. And I don't care what anyone says I love you", she said. He stared at her in awe and said "I love you too". She then hugged him so hard he could barely breathe! She looked into his eyes and started kissing him with full passion and he did too. But their moment was cut off when Arizona walked into the supply closet. "Oh! Hey", she squealed like her usual self. "Sorry I was just about to leave", Jo said to Arizona. "I'll see you later Alex", she said to Jo smiling on her way out. "Wow nice Karev! Dating one of your students", Arizona said. "Oh screw you. This is the first person I actually felt 'good' with. I always great crazy and cancer. And she's none of those. She gets me", he said with so much passion that Arizona was shocked he said all this when she only made an ironic statement.
"I cheated on my wife and I'm a horrible person", she told Karev. You're not the worst person in this world. People do worse and I know you and Callie will work this out", he told her. She smiled at him and walked away thinking about what he said. In just 10 minutes Alex Karev started changing his attitude towards people. He was nicer. He wasn't an ass as much as everyone says he is. He has empathy for people and this was all because of one person. Jo.
