A/N: so this one is short. Again. But I really think that this is finished and doesn't need to be longer. Song: Gravity - sara bareilles, because in my story, something always bring Lexie back to Jackson. So again no Meredith, sorry, but I don't know how to write her! I want them to both cry, though. hope you enjoy it!

Jackson was in a bar. Not Joe's, but a random bar.

He was sipping his whiskey and looked kind of like a depressed loner. And he was.

He was looking out for a one-nighter. He knew that he shouldn't be, because he still loved Lexie, but he was a man. And a man had needs. And he wasn't going to wait around forever only to be rejected again. He didn't want to go through that again.

When some blonde approached him, he flirt back willingly.

He didn't even know her name.

She kissed him, he kissed back, even though it felt completely wrong.

They both knew that this one night would be the end of it. He needed it to get over Lexie. It seemed to work for others, so why not try it?

They left the crowded bar, stepped into the darkness of the night, and he followed her to her place.

Something always brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.

No matter what I say or do

I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

"Lexie, this is an intervention." Pat said, after they'd been talking for a while about nothing. But things had seemed off. Now she knew why.

"An intervention?" She questioned.

"We're only here because we care about you." Deb said supportively, patting her shoulder awkwardly.

"Look," Lexie began. "I don't need anyone intervening in my life. I'm managing just fine."

Only she hadn't really laughed in a long time. She missed laughing every day.

"But you're not." Marlene said. "Ever since you've shut everybody out, you've become this whole different person. We know that you're still in there, but you've been acting all dark, angry and distant."

"I have not!" Lexie disagreed. "I've been acting perfectly fine. Even for someone in my situation."

"But you're not you!" Deb argued. "You always let everybody in, and now you seem a million miles away and it's because you're shutting everybody out! Jackson and Meredith and everybody else… I don't think you meant to shut us out, but in the process of shutting the others out, you've shut us out too."

"I'm really trying here." Lexie said with a huge sigh. "I really am."

"We get that you lost someone that meant a lot to you, but you didn't lose us. And you've gotta let someone be there for you." Deb said.

"I'll try harder."

"You don't have to try to do anything. Just be yourself again."

Lexie looked down at her watch. "Guys, I really have to get back to work."

"Sure." Marlene said. "Good luck."

"Thanks."

You hold me without touch.

You keep me without chains.

I never wanted anything so much

Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

Jackson was in the urology department wing the next day. He was speaking to the receptionist who wasn't very helpful.

"Is Mayfield in?" He asked her.

"What for, Dr. Avery?"

"I need a consult." He said, stepping from one foot to the other.

"What kind of consult?" The girl said, thinking it was for some patient.

"A consult." Jackson said, while raising his eyebrows.

The girl finally understood and frowned. It was crazy seeing your boss like this. "Mayfield is away at the penis conference."

"The penis conference?" He asked.

"Yeah, sadly I didn't get to go but it's a big thing here. It's why there are no surgeries planned today."

"Who allowed this conference?" He asked annoyed.

"You did."

"Well, who's here?" He asked the girl, and she started typing things on the computer.

She scrolled and said. "Dr. Avery's present at the moment."

Jackson groaned. He didn't want his mom looking at his… Well, just no. "Are you sure there's not anyone else?" He asked desperately.

"Well," She clicked on the mouse. "There's this one Doctor, Dr. Green I think. I'll get that one. Is that alright with you?" She wondered.

"Yes!" Jackson said happily. "Dr. Green sounds perfect."

"Please take a seat in that room." The girl said, pointing at exam room 5004. "And wait until Doctor Green is there to do the consult."

She flashed him an inappropriate smile and he turned around, rolled his eyes and went into the room.

Set me free,

Leave me be.

I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.

But you're on to me and all over me.

Lexie walked into her next patient's room.

"Alright, Mr.…?" She said, and her patient turned around.

There, she stood face to face with Jackson.

She chuckled. "Well, then."

"No, no, no! I'll get another doctor."

"They're all away at the conference. I'm sorry, but you're stuck with me?"

"Again. Who allowed this conference?"

"You did." Lexie replied.

He sighed. He didn't remember allowing it.

"Hey, it's either me or your mom." She said. "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Jackson cringed. "Yeah, whatever, let's just… do it."

Lexie looked at him expectantly, and when he didn't move, but just stared at her, she said. "Well, pull down your God damn pants!"

He pulled down his pants and Lexie studied the case.

"What did you do exactly?" She asked, after seeing it.

"Well-" He tried to explain.

"So, it's clear what you did, but… Uh, how did you do this?"

"But, see, that's thing! We- I didn't even do it. We just… She stepped on it."

"She stepped on it?" Lexie asked, trying to keep a straight face, but failing miserably.

"Yeah, she…"

"How does one precisely do that? Seriously, that's quite an accomplishment."

"I do not want to get into thing. Please." He begged her, and she stopped.

She laughed, like, really laughed. It felt good for once. "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you!"

"It seems like you kinda are, Lex."

"It's just… Who does this?"

"Apparently I do." He said, getting kind of frustrtated.

"How do you get yourself into these kind of situations?"

"I always ask myself the same thing every morning." He said with a huge sigh.

She stopped laughing, but was still smiling. "Okay, so the good news is, it's not broken."

Jackson widened his eyes. "You can break it?"

"Trust me, you can." She said, thinking back to her semi-hilarious moment of awkward sexual situations. "But yours is just sprained."

"Just sprained?" He asked.

"Yeah, there's no actual damage to the tissue and it might hurt for a while but eventually that will stop, too."

"Good."

"But you'll need to use this when you pee." She said, getting some sort of a tube thing.

Jackson raised one eyebrow. "That?"

"Yeah, that." Lexie said with a smile. And then she laughed again.

"Did no one ever teach you bedside manner?" He asked her.

"They did, I just didn't listen."

"Clearly."

She handed him the tube thing, he took it and stood up to leave.

"Oh, come back in a week or two to check up on when you can… use it again." Lexie said.

"Use it?" Jackson asked.

"Yeah, eat someone's chocolate, stir someone's pot… You know…"

"Ah…" Jackson understood. "Stir someone's pot?" He then asked. "You couldn't just say engage in sexual activity?"

"No, that's not awkward enough."

"I think I've had my share of awkwardness for the day." He said.

He walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him. When he was outside, he heard Lexie laughing at him hard. He let her, though. He could've easily told her to stop but let her laugh at him. She had to laugh at something.

Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile

When I thought that I was strong.

But you touch me for a little while

And all my fragile strength is gone.

Lexie was in Wyatt's office, sitting on the couch.

"I've become one of those people, haven't I?" She asked Wyatt.

"Could you elaborate?" Wyatt asked.

"One of those people. An Alex or a Meredith!"

"I'm not sure what you're trying to say."

"One of those annoying people. That broods. And never lets anyone in because they're in so much pain."

"Kind of, yeah."

"One of those people that when you come across them, you ask them if they're okay. They say I'm fine, I'm fine. But they're really not. So you ask them if they're sure. They groan, walk away and then they think that you're the annoying one!"

"You're not that bad."

"I am, though! I really have to do something about myself, because I swore I'd never become like that. Never be like someone that sighs and groans a lot."

"I think the only way to do that is to remember what Mark said to you."

I live here on my knees

As I try to make you see

That you're everything I think I need here on the ground.

Lexie then really tried. She remembered telling him she loved him, him walking away with Julia. Running into Derek and Mark in the elevator and wishing to be anywhere else but there. Mark asking her if she needed help with her bag, and making her heart flutter. Boarding the plane. The plane started shaking.

Then she was under the plane. She was under the plane, trapped, and she couldn't get out. God, remembering this really hurt her head. A fierce head-ache was coming up.

She remembered taking the seatbelt-thing that she didn't know the name of.

She remembered Cristina and Mark and Meredith finding her, and being so relieved. But then Meredith leaving her to find Derek.

She remembered knowing that this was the end. That she was going to die, and already giving up herself.

Mark and Cristina had been really trying.

But even they gave up on her. She didn't blame them for it, they were weak themselves and Lexie wasn't afraid to die.

She wasn't afraid, until Mark told her all of those things. Suddenly dying seemed like the scariest thing in the world.

But then she felt the pain going away, and she slipped into a heavy sleep.

She remembered the animals though, she was conscious for that part. Everyone had left her corpse there to die, only she didn't.

She lived and it hurt. Never had anything hurt so much.

She remembered being dragged out of under the plane by animals, until a dog found her.

Her body was still whole, which felt good but really terrible, as it was holding on for dear life. Literally. And it was about to fall apart soon.

She remembered a dog, and some people who thought she was dead.

And then it all was black until she woke up in a hospital with a huge head-ache.

Similar to the one she was having right now.

But you're neither friend nor foe

Though I can't seem to let you go.

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.

"I remember." She told Wyatt, and the first tears already started to fall.

"What did he say?" Wyatt questioned.

"He loved me back. I was this close to happily ever after."

"I'm very sorry, but it will all be okay."

"I'm not so sure this time."

She left Wyatt's office and calling her sister to cry.

To cry her actual eyeballs out.

Molly was understanding, of course, but she didn't quite understand the way someone else she knew and missed would.

You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're on to me, on to me, and all over...

She went to talk to Deb.

"What the hell am I going to do?" She asked her, sitting down on a chair.

"Eat chocolate?" Deb suggested.

"I'm not so sure that will help." Lexie said. "And by the way, you eat way too much of that, maybe we should stage and intervention for that!"

"Fine, fine." Deb agreed, and she gave up on the idea of chocolate for a while. "But what's up?"

"I laughed today." She said. "Like, really, laughed."

"Lexie, that's great!"

"But it made me figure out there's only one person that can make me laugh when I'm at rock bottom."

"Jackson." Deb understood. "So forgive him! Let him in again and swallow your pride for once."

"I'm still so mad." She said, looking at her hands, avoiding Deb's glare.

"You shouldn't have to be! Yes, he lied to you, but he only did it to protect you. And I think you're madder at your stupid half-sister anyway!"

"I am." Lexie agreed, but she still wasn't sure what to do.

Something always brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.

Jackson was in the elevator, by himself, ready to cry himself to sleep. He never did, though. He never really cried. But he'd given up hope that Lexie would ever return to him again. He didn't even need a relationship, he just needed his best friend back.

The doors opened and there stood the one person he didn't really want to see. Lexie. But he did want to see her and was relieved when she got in.

He expected it to be awkward, and to receive a couple of angry glances from Lexie, but it wasn't awkward and he didn't get any glances.

It took a lot from her to say it, but when she finally got it out, it felt wonderful. "Hi." She greeted.

He was shocked that she would talk to him, they sort of had an unwritten agreement not to talk to each other.

"Hi." He said back.

It's amazing how one little world can make your heart skip a beat and give you all your hope back.

The elevator stopped on the lobby and they both got out, and split ways.

But both felt a little bit happier than they had felt the day before.

A/N: So she hasn't really forgiven him, but we're getting there! hope you enjoyed and please review! have a nice day!
