I have finally forced myself to get away from work long enough to type up this chapter. Please review!
MclovinMcDreamy – I agree Alex is an ass, but just wait. Something will happen to him.
"Finally!" Cristina burst into the room.
"You were listening?" Meredith sounded angry. "That was private!"
"Yeah whatever. I'm our person. It's my prerogative to listen in."
Meredith sighed, exasperated.
"He was being unreasonable yet again. I can't cater to his every need."
"Who are you and what did you do to Meredith Grey?"
Meredith smiled. Suddenly her phone rang. Looking at the caller ID she scowled.
"Al, I told you not to call me again. We're over."
The next words made her freeze. She dropped the phone. Cristina frowned.
"Mer, what's wrong? Mer?"
She whispered.
"Alex. It's Alex. He's…he's been in a car accident. They…they don't know if…if he'll make it."
Cristina stared at her, unable to believe her ears. She didn't like Alex all that much after what he did to Meredith but she had still been friends with him for a long time.
"Evil Spawn? Car accident?"
"Apparently he was running red lights…like he was in a rush…Oh God! He was on his way here! I'm sure of it!"
Meredith broke down and started to sob violently. Cristina had no idea what to do. She knew that what normally worked with her would not work right now. Meredith sobbed,
"I have to go see him. He's in it because of me. It's my fault! Oh God! It's my fault!"
There was a bang on the door.
"Meri, are you alright?" Addison's voice came through. Meredith's cries had been heard by all four of them. Cristina opened the door.
"Karev was in a car accident. Meredith dumped him and him being such an idiot he started running red lights in his haste to get here."
Addison was shocked.
"Meredith? Honey, look at me."
The blonde remained on her duvet, the sobs racking her body being her only movement.
"Meredith." Mark's deep voice seemed to offer her comfort. He walked to the bed, picking up the slim body as if it was a feather.
Derek looked at their intimacy with pain in his eyes. He wanted to be the one who could comfort Meredith, who could pick her up and rock her and tell her it was alright. The pain did not go unnoticed by Addison. She tried to ignore it, wanting to focus on her best friend, but his expression was like a knife in her heart.
Something like resentment rose up in her, resentment at the fact Meredith always received all the attention, resentment that Meredith could get any guy she wanted, but she quashed it. Meredith didn't want this to happen to her and Addison found that she didn't have it in her to blame the blonde. She valued their friendship too much.
Meredith was still sobbing,
"It's my fault! I have to see him. He can't have…he can't die. Oh God! He was my best friend. What have I done?"
Mark tried to quiet her saying,
"Okay, sweetheart. We'll go to the hospital, but you need to do something for me. Stop blaming yourself, sweetie. I'm sure he'll be alright, darling. Hush."
He rocked her back and forth, her slim frame shaking with emotion. She continued sobbing over and over again,
"Oh please, let him not die, please."
