"Meredith your sister wanted you to be present while she delivers the verdict about your father." Lydia announced to Meredith upon her arrival.
Everyone present in the room: Mark, Derek, Lydia, Lexie, Cristina and Callie, sat anxiously waiting for Lexie to open her mouth and spill her decision.
"…I've decided to….Drop the charges built against Thatcher Grey," Lexie sighed.
Everyone gave a gasp of distaste in her faulty choice.
"Please Lexie. He doesn't deserve another chance with you. He just keeps blowing it. Give him what he deserves." Meredith leaned closer and squeezed her sister's leg while staring deeply into her sightless eyes hoping she could sense her strong presence.
"I'm not giving him a second chance by doing this. I'm doing the exact opposite. I want him to be committed to a rehabilitation center…Again. This time make sure he cannot escape or leave early. And after he finishes his time there….He can go his own way. I'm done with him. I don't want to talk to him, I don't want to be around him, I don't want his apologies, I don't even want to hear his name be said again. I want him out of my life…Completely." Lexie explained to everyone in a very harsh and serious tone of voice. She meant business. Her eyebrows were ruffled as tiny crystally tears dotted the corners of her vacant eyes.
"You're sure Lex?" Meredith asked.
"I'm positive. The only reason I'm letting him off easy is because it's what my mother would've wanted."
"Well I'll go deliver the news and Thatcher will be taken to the facility immediately following his discharge," The woman responded.
"Thank you," She said as the woman retreated.
