AN: thanks for the reviews guys! And because I've been gone for a long time, I think a recap of this fic will be helpful for the readers.

Recap: Addison and Alex got into a fight in the supply closet where Alex snapped and tried to take advantage of Addison. Don't worry, he stopped himself soon enough. But the emotional scar left our favorite couple damaged. Addison tried telling Alex that she forgive him for what happen and they tried to be friends. That didn't work out. Because Alex notice that whenever he move just a little too close to Addison, she'll tense up and flinch from him. He tried to talk to her, but she said she's still not ready. That's when Alex tried distancing himself to Addison. Which in turn irritates the hell out of Addie, thus leading to another confrontation between the two. Guess where this confrontation happened? In the very same supply closet where it all began. Due to the irony of it all, Addie and Alex decided that it's time to finally talk about all the things that happened between them. But as usual a patient needing a c section gets in the way of the 'talk' so it was moved at 9pm at Joe's. Addison left the room, leaving Alex to avoid suspicion and the possible gossip. Little did they know that Mark heard the whole conversation leaving us with a very angry Mark. A very angry Mark that beats the hell out of Alex, who didn't fight back because he felt he deserve this as his punishment for what he did to Addison.

Phew. Hehe hope that clears thing up a bit.

Hey mandy this story is nearing its end, so stay hooked alright?

McAddex – still loving the name. Nope it's not Addie who pulled Mark, although that did cross my mind.

Anime Girl23 – hehe I'm waiting for another review best friend! At first I kinda felt sorry for Alex because he's always ending up at the hospital, but after what he did to Addison after they had sex (I think second to the last episode of season 3) My God, who the hell did he think he was, blowing off Addison like that?...

Jen – yes the wait is long but I'm still here and here's another chapter of Mistake.

Addison's POV

8:55

I'm early. It's because my shift end at six, that's why I arrive early at Joe's, not because I'm excited at meeting Alex, of spending time with him. Nope. Not at all. Some of you might be saying why are you letting that son of a bitch off the hook after what he did to you? Why are you being too soft on him?

It's not that I'm condoning his actions. No it's not that. It's not that I already forgiven him so I can forget about what he did. No. That's just it, I can't forget it. At the back of my mind, I will always remember that Alex is the only man who dared to hurt me, physically that is. The thought that although he said he won't do it again, I'm still scared that he'll snap and end what he left unfinished.

Though, I'll admit, my reaction to his previous actions are mixed. I was angry, sure, but at the same time, I'm glad that I've seen this side of him. I'm glad that I know how he deal with things. Deal with his anger. My experiences with men is limited when it comes to dealing with things. With Derek, whenever we had problems, we, he (mostly) just ignores it. He'll just leave and spent time in the hospital, maybe do an extra surgery or two then come back to me, like nothing happened. We're good at that – see where our relationship ended.

With Mark. Uuuhhh… My guilty pleasure. We never really fought that much because honestly, all we did is set aside any problems and ramifications and just have SEX. Pure and simple. Anger Management's new technique. Jump into bed with your husband's best friend and just have sex. It's relaxing and a good substitute for sleeping pills. And as relaxing at it was, during the actual 'managing the anger' moments, the magnitude of our problem comes twice as hard (no pun intended). The reality ruin any of our post sex aftermaths. And that's another factor to add on my already growing list on 'how to have an unhealthy relationships'.

But with Alex. We talk. We deal, even if sometimes I don't want to. And we're not even in a relationship. Doesn't that count for something?

I'm not saying that I like the way he handled our argument. Who in their right mind wants their head to get closer to the door than necessary? It's just that at least he'd shown this side of his. I've got a first hand experience on probably the worst part of himself. He'd shown a lot more than Derek and Mark has been willing to share with me. He revealed his flaws, and together we suffered from his mistakes.

From that moment. That very moment, when I was sitting at Joe's, nursing a martini while waiting for Alex. I've known. I've realize that because of the 'supply closet' mistake, I've finally let myself to fully love him. I've found something in him that I can't compare with Derek or Mark. I blink as I tried to focus my thoughts. I love him. I Addison Forbes Montgomery fell for an intern. I felt giddy as I've come to this realization. Not really surprised because deep down, I somehow knew this, I've just never really acknowledge it. The only thing left now is to tell Alex. Speaking of Alex.

9:30

Where the heck is he?

ADDISEX ADDEX ADDISEX ADDEX ADDISEX ADDEX ADDISEX ADDEX

I'm angry. Actually beyond angry. I'm livid. I've waited until 11pm at Joe's last night for Alex. But he's a no show. He wants to talk huh? Freaking coward. Love him? I freaking want to kill him.

But may be he had a good explanation. A good surgery, perhaps? But why couldn't he contact me? I tried calling him but his phone was turned off. Low battery, maybe? No coverage area? There's a lot of possible reason on why he can't make it at Joe's last night. You've once been an intern, you know how surgeries run their lives. I thought as I try to calm and placate myself as I stepped in the elevator of SGH.

You better have a very good explanation Karev.

"Wait." A voice said as I put a hand in the elevator door.

"Late morning Derek?" I raised an eyebrow at him as he tried to catch his breathe.

"No. Late evening. I just got the xray results of my patient."

"Hmmm… This patient seems pretty important. For you to personally get her xray results. A new blonde intern? Or maybe, you're formulating new ways for Chief candidacy?"

He glared at me before answering "Actually it's 'his' xray."

"Oh?" I said getting distracted as the elevator stopped at the third floor. "Does Grey knows you're having an affair with a guy?"

I smiled at his mortified expression "Alright fine, I'll stop. Anyone we know?"

"You're extra bitter today Addie. And yes, it's one of Bailey's interns." I stopped at his words dreading the information he's about to give me. "I swear this guy seems to love this hospital that much, he's the one that got admitted last week because of dehydration."

"Al – Alex Karev?" I stammered as my throat runs dry. "What happened to him?"

"Yeah well, your mistress beat the hell out of him."

It's true, isn't it? You can't love someone without seeing their mistakes first right? Huh the end is near folks. Will Addison ever tell Alex how she feels for him?
