"Come on Lex you have got to do this." Meredith said standing at her sisters bedroom doorway.
"No." Lexie mumbled from under the covers.
"Do you want Mark back?" Meredith asked for what seemed like the millionth time.
"Yeah." Lexie said with a pout and a dramatic huff as she pushed the covers off of her head.
"Then you have got to start by getting some help and getting back to work." Meredith said as she walked over and sat on Lexie's bed. "Come on I will be with you every step of the way."
"Do I have to?" Lexie asked throwing the covers back over her head with a moan.
"Get up."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
Looking around Meredith grabs the nearest pillow and starts hitting Lexie with it. "Get. Up." She says with a small laugh.
"Ugh!" Lexie shouts as she throws the covers off her body and storms off into the bathroom. Meredith just crosses her arms across her chest and grins. Phase one down, on to phase two.
It had been three days since Meredith came home to find her sister a sobbing mess on the living room floor. It then took nearly two hours for her to get the story out of Lexie. Derek had clued her in on what he heard from the twos shouting match but she wanted to get the facts straight from the source, meaning Lexie. It had been two days since she sent Derek over to Marks apartment to talk some sense into him. Turns out Mark felt like a complete ass but he still didn't think it was best if him and Lexie got back together, not until Lexie got her life under control and for once Meredith agreed with him 100%. So here was day one at getting Lexie's life in order.
"Nope I changed my mind." Lexie said as the two stood in front of the hospital doors. "Mark's an ass I don't need him." She said as she turned around ready to run away from the situation.
Meredith quickly grabbed her by the arm. "Not getting away this time. Plus this isn't for Mark. This is for you."
Yanking her arm away Lexie glared at her sister. "I hate you"
Meredith just rolled her eyes at her sisters childish behavior . "You will love me later. Now we are going to walk into that hospital and you are going to have your first session with Dr. Perkins. Then you are going to come down to the nurses station and get back to work. Got it?" Lexie gave her a nod but didn't move. Not knowing what else to do Meredith went behind her and pushed her towards the hospital entrance. Once inside Meredith turned towards her sister. "Now am I going to have to drag you all the way up to his office or are you going to follow me.
Lexie crossed her arms. "I'm not a baby."
"No your not. But your acting like one. Now come on." Meredith began to walk towards the elevator and Lexie stopped. Making herself walk in the hospital was good enough. No way was she getting on that elevator. "Are you coming?" Meredith asked as she turned around and saw that Lexie had stopped following her. Meredith new she was being pushy and bossy towards Lexie but nothing else seemed to being working at this point. She couldn't watch her sister go in a downward spiral just because of one mans actions. She just couldn't.
"Can, can we take the stairs?" Lexie almost begged. Seeing the fear in Lexie's eyes was enough for Meredith with a nod she then began to walk towards the stairs.
After two flights of stairs they reached the office that Dr. Perkins had claimed his own. Meredith knocked on the door and after hearing Dr. Perkins say come in she opened it. Giving Lexie a small shove the two entered the room.
"Ah Dr. Grey, this must be your sister, the other Dr. Grey." He said with a smile on his face. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you."
"Lexie." Meredith says. "Her names Lexie."
"Right, Lexie if you would like to take a seat we can get started."
Reluctantly and without saying a word Lexie sits down in the nearest chair. "I will meet you back hear in an hour." Meredith says before exiting the room.
"So Lexie, I hear you have gone through quiet a lot this last month and a half haven't you?"
"I'm fine really."
"That Lexie, is the first signs showing that you are not fine."
Lexie just sits there in silence. She doesn't know what to say. She is totally fine! So what if her boyfriend left her three days ago because he thinks she needs help. Or the fact that some guy tried to kill her. None of that mattered any more. She was over it, ready to move on with her life.
"Look," Lexie says with a sigh. "The only reason I am hear is because my sister is making me and that I have to come to these sessions if I am ever going to get back to doing Surgeries. I was shot because some guy tried to kill me. I nearly died but my now boy friend well I guess ex boyfriend now and my ex boyfriend then, along with my then boyfriend and now ex boyfriend found me and they saved my life. I am perfectly fine."
Dr. Perkins does a once over on Lexie. This young lady is not fine. She wont be until she realizes it herself, she has bags under her eyes indicating that she hasn't been sleeping, every little sound makes her jump, she nervously bounces her leg and she rambles. The rambling hedecides might just be in her genes seeing as how her sister does it as well, Lexie though she was rambling alot.
"Tell me what happened between you and Dr. Sloan?"
"I don't want to talk about what goes on with me and Dr. Sloan. It is none of your business."
"Oh but it is Dr. Grey. I think that this has everything to do with Dr. Sloan. You are afraid that if he sees the real you, he will leave you again."
"He already left me! He dumped me three days ago!"
"Did he give you a reason why?"
"No." Lexie lied
"Well I have a little homework assignment for you. Figure out why Dr. Sloan broke up with you."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously Dr. Grey. Now I would like to see you again on Wednesday at noon. That gives you today and tomorrow to complete your assignment."
"Ugh!" Lexie shouted as she stormed out of his office.
"Have a nice day Dr. Grey."
Meredith heard the slam of the office door and took that as a bad sign, a very, very bad sign. "How did it go?" She asked Lexie
"I need to cut." Lexie told her sister.
"Lexie your not cleared for surgery yet."
"Well I need to do something." She said as she began to walk down the stairs and over to the pit. "If you wont give me work I will find Dr. Bailey."
It definitely did not go good, not at all. "Lexie I will find you something to do." Meredith looked for Owen. He had to have something for Lexie, if not she was afraid her sister my completely freak out and that was one thing they did not want to happen. Spotting Owen talking to a nurse she quickly walks over to him.
"Oh hey Meredith."
"Lexie needs to work." Meredith said pointing towards he pacing sister. "Now."
Looking up at the younger Grey passing back and fourth Owen new he had to do something. Surgens could only go so long without working before they went nuts and Little Grey was no exception. "I will see what I can do."
