Chapter 6: Truth or Dare
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Half an hour later they were all sitting in a circle in Mark's living room.
"Okay then, Owen, truth or dare?" Callie asked with a smirk.
"I'm going to go with truth." He answered.
"Ok, who in this room would you most likely date?"
Owen thought about it for a moment, rubbing his red beard.
"Probably Cristina." He said as Cristina blushed. "
Okay then, Addie. Truth or Dare?"
" I'm with Dare." Addison answered.
"Okay, l dare you to jump on a bunch of lego's, with your bare-feet." Owen said. Addison looked the legos that were now being spread out over the floor.
"Fine." She said and took of her socks.
Once she stepped on them it already started hurting, but when she had to jump. It was hell.
"Ow! Ow! Ah! Oh my god this hurts!" They all laughed.
"Okay Mark." Truth or Dare?" Addie said rubbing her feet.
"Dare! You can't beat me at my own game." Mark said smugly.
"We'll see about that. Because, l'm daring you..." Addison began.
"To kiss Derek!"
Mark's face fell.
"What!?" He asked bewildered.
"Yeah." Addie said. "Or you can pass but then you have to remove a piece of clothing."
Mark sighed and took off his shirt. Lexie couldn't help but eye his chest again, he was absolutely hot.
"Well, Addie. If you want me to kiss a boy l guess you have to kiss a girl.
"Fine by me" she said. Mark scoped the room.
"Okay, kiss… Teddy." Mark said as Addison turned red.
"O-okay." She said looking at Teddy.
"You're okay with this?" Addie asked.
"Yeah it's fine." Teddy said.
The room went silent as Addison slowly leaned in and pressed her lips against Teddy's. There kiss was long and passionate and got even more so once Teddy slipped her tongue into Addison's mouth. She couldn't believe she was actually kissing Addie! And she actually felt something.
Oh no. Teddy thought. Am l in love with Addie?
Addison slowly slowed down the kiss and pulled away with a grin. Crap. she thought.
I'm in love with Teddy.
After a couple rounds Lexie got a phone call from her dad, much to Meredith's dismay.
"Dad?" Lexie asked softly.
"I can't understand you." She said.
"No dad it's Lexie, not mom, mom died years ago." Lexie said as she exited the room, slightly upset.
Meredith looked puzzled.
Why would Thatcher forget something like that? She thought.
It wasn't like she knew a lot about him, he was just the guy that poured her cereal in the morning and then up and left.
"Um, should we just carry on?" Alex said confused.
"Yeah, l'll go grab some more beers anybody else want?" Mark said.
"Yeah me and April." Jackson stated.
"Okay." Mark answered walking off into the kitchen.
He stopped in his tracks when he heard Lexie cry softly into her phone.
"No, dad! Please! I can't take it anymore!" She pleaded.
Mark remained silent, listening to the scene in front of him.
"Dad..." Lexie said quietly.
"I'm done. I can't take care of you when you're drunk anymore!" Mark was shocked. Thatcher has a drinking problem!? He thought.
"I'm moving out dad! Goodbye!" Lexie said firmly ending the phone call.
"Little Grey?" Mark said softly, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Lexie jumped and turned around when his soft hands touched the bruise on her arm.
Her eyes were red and puffy and her tear-stained cheeks stood out on her pale complexion.
"Mark? How long have you been standing there?" She asked, her voice hoarse.
"Long enough to hear all the problems that have been going on at your home." Mark said.
I-l..." Lexie broke out in tears and pulled Mark into a hug.
"I'm so lost right now." She cried.
Mark remained silent.
"What am l going to? I mean l don't have anywhere to go, and l told him l would move out, but l have nothing." Lexie rambled.
Silence filled the air between before Mark finally spoke.
"I might have a solution."
Lexie looked up hopeful.
"Me and Derek want to by this loft near Seattle Med but we can't afford it but if you were to chip in and maybe Meredith as well, we could get it the four of us. And it's near the high-school and the uni." Mark finished.
"Oh my God!" Lexie said. "Are you serious? That would be perfect!"
Mark smiled. "So you're in?"
"Yes of course!" Lexie exclaimed wrapping Mark in for a hug yet again.
Jackson walked off into the kitchen, wondering where Mark and Lexie were, just in time to see Lexie pull Mark in for a hug.
Weird, l thought Derek told Mark to stay away from her. He thought to himself.
"Avery!" Mark said noticing Jackson.
"Sorry it took so long me and Lexie just needed to talk."
Jackson waved his hand.
"It's fine! I'm just going to grab the beers that you clearly forgot." He said laughing.
"Oh yeah sorry about that, we'll join you guys again."
Mark, Lexie and Jackson walked back into the living room to see them all on the couch watching a horror movie.
"There you guys are!" April said. "Jackson over here, l saved you a spot."
Jackson walked over and sat down while April cuddled up to him, afraid of what would happen next on the tv screen.
Mark and Lexie sat down besides Meredith and Derek.
"Mark." Derek whispered not wanting to disturb the rest.
"What's going on?"
Mark looked at Derek and said:
"Don't worry, nothing happened between me and Lex but she has some stuff going on and she and Mer are moving in with us. Long story short. We can afford that loft now."
Derek smiled to himself. Meredith and he would be living together! He knew things were hard for her at home with her mom never being home and such but he didn't know that Lexie was having trouble with her family too.
Meredith hid behind Derek as a scary scene played in front of them.
Izzie grabbed the popcorn from Alex. She wasn't fazed by a scary movie unlike her friends.
Alex threw a popcorn in the air but Izzie caught it before him.
"You need to learn how to throw." She said winking at him.
"Okay, we need to talk." Alex said sternly, taking her hand and leading her to the next room.
"Where are they going?" Arizona asked confused?
"Ah who cares there probably going to make out or something." Cristina answered. "They do that?" Arizona asked again.
"Well, Alex always offers Izzie as a joke but we all think she'll take him up on it." Cristina said grabbing the popcorn.
"Speaking of making out, where are Addie and Teddy?"
Meredith looked around.
"That's weird they were here just now." Derek said.
"I'm sure it's fine let's just watch." Jackson said, focusing on the tv screen once more.
R&R!
