-1Girl Fight (By Brooke Valentine)
Things in Lexie Grey's life seldom went the way she planned them. For instance, she had planned on becoming a nurse, but had become a doctor instead. A last minute attempt to please a father that was never pleased. She didn't regret her decision to become a surgeon, just that it hadn't been her own. Another example was the predicament she found herself in now.
She had planned on going her internship without having anything to do with her unknown sister, Meredith. There was no room in her life for more than one sister, especially one that didn't want to be there. However, Lexie had just enough of her mother in her, and when the rumors about Dr. Shepherd, whose name was constantly being linked with Meredith's, and a certain scrub nurse, who didn't look the least bit appealing, started to fly she felt the urge to protect and warn this sister she hadn't planned on knowing.
Lexie took a deep breath, mumbling the little speech she had prepared under her breath, and lifted her finger to ring the doorbell. She hadn't been her since her ill fated one night stand with Dr. Karev. Now that had been an experience. Mediocre sex with her unwanted sister's roommate. Awkward. She had been so pissed when Alex blew her off, but now she could see it was for the best. He clearly loved Dr. Stevens, and Lexie wasn't one to stand between two people in love.
"Yes?" A dark haired woman in her early to mid-thirties stood in the open doorway. There was nothing special about her, Lexie thought with disgust. At least Meredith was pretty, in a waif-ish sort of way, and had the Ellis Grey as a mommy thing going for her. This woman was just…average. "Can I help you?"
"Actually, I'm here to help you." Lexie said in the sweetest voice she could muster. What the hell was she doing here? She didn't owe anything to Meredith and she was quite certain her unwanted sister would be pleased with her doing this. She couldn't help herself though. For better or worse, Meredith was her sister and this woman, who was nothing special, had stolen the only thing good in Meredith's life. Dr. Shepherd.
"You are?" The woman quirked one brow up. It had been over plucked and was pencil thin. "I'm sorry, but do I know you?"
"I'm Lexie Grey. Dr. Lexie Grey. We work together at Seattle Grace. You also work with my sister, Meredith. I'm sure you've heard of her. Dr. Meredith Grey." Again, she forced herself to speak in sweet tone. It was sickening. Enough to make her gag.
"I'm sorry, but there are so many doctors…" She lifted one shoulder, then let it drop. Lexie narrowed her eyes. So it was going to be this way, was it? Fine. Lexie had dealt with women like this before. Women who pretended that they knew nothing just so they could play the victim if things went bad.
"Fine. Dr. Shepherd, then. I know you've heard of him seeing how you stuck your tongue down his throat last night at The Emerald City Bar," Lexie shot bar. No more nice little sister. This nurse was going down.
"Excuse me?" The woman gapped at her, stunned. Good. Let her be shocked. It was easier to bring them down that way.
"See, the thing is Dr. Shepherd, he belongs to my sister." Lexie said coolly. She lifted her chin, tossing her dark hair back. She met the other woman's gaze, challenging her to disagree. The woman said nothing, just stared back. "And Meredith, she's had a shitty life. She doesn't need some boyfriend poaching scrub nurse to steal her boyfriend."
"I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your sister doesn't own Dr. Shepherd. I'm sorry that her life isn't going so well, but that isn't my problem." She clucked her tongue, as though she was talking to a small child. "And clearly things weren't very good between them if he felt the need to look else where. Which, he clearly did."
"Clearly," Lexie mimicked. Clearly, the woman was lacking common decency. Clearly, she was nothing but a boyfriend stealing bitch. Clearly, Lexie was going to have to make her point a bit stronger. "Clearly, you are delusional. That whole hospital knows that Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Grey, my sister, not me, belong to on another. It is some…unspoken rule. Thou shall not intrude upon Dr. Shepherd's and Dr. Grey's relationship. I'm guessing you didn't get that memo. Then again, they don't usually tell nurses anything of importance, do they?"
"I think this conversation is done, Dr. Grey." She started to shut the door. Lexie stuck her foot out, stopping preventing the door from being closed. "Move. Now. Or I call the police."
"Oh, like that is going to scare me." Lexie couldn't resist rolling her eyes. "Listen up, and listen good, stay away from my sister's boyfriend!" The or else was silent.
Lexie slid her foot out, then sashayed away, pleased that for once something had gone according to plan. She hoped. Otherwise, she was going to have some serious explaining to do to a sister she didn't want or need.
