CHAPTER 29
"Hey Alex!" Jordanna called. She spotted hit at the Nurse's station and walked over. "Did you get my message?"
"Oh, Uhh yeah. But I'm going into surgery to Dr. Montgomery." He answered while going over charts, obviously distracted.
"Oh, ok. Well, I'll stay and watch and maybe we can grab a bite later."
"We're in OR 4, there's no gallery there."
"Then I'll just wait. I have some homework and studying to do so I'll-"
"it's a long surgery Jordanna, you should just go home. Sorry I didn't call and tell you I wouldn't be able to make it."
"That's ok. You're busy. So, I'll talk to you later?" Jordan asked, disappointment evident in her voice."
Alex didn't even look up from his charts. "Yeah, later."
"Is there something wrong Alex?"
Alex finally looked up. "No, I'm just in a rush. I gotta go and prep the patient for surgery." He said quickly before closing up the chart and walking away.
Jordanna stood there for a couple of minutes. She knew something was wrong with Alex.
"Hey you. What are you doing here?" Meredith asked, walking up to her
"Nothing." Jordanna muttered. "God, you look how I feel." She observed.
"Gee, thanks."
"What happened with Derek?"
"Nothing. He went camping."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. I don't want to talk about this here. I just want to go home."
"Yeah, me too." Jordanna said.
"What's your problem?"
"Nothing. Just bummed Alex has to go into surgery tonight. We were going to have dinner."
"We'll go have dinner. We'll order all the food that we don't eat in front of guys because it makes us look like pigs."
Jordan laughed. "Ok."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My god. I am so full." Meredith said.
"Can you say that again? I want to get it on tape."
"Shut up." Meredith leaned back in her seat and checked her phone.
"You set your phone to LOUD about an hour ago Meredith."
"I know." Meredith sighed. "I can't believe he never called me."
"He just needs to think."
"He could have told me that though. I was worried. What if something happens to him?"
"Nothing is going to happen to mountain man Derek. Trust me."
"You're probably right. Hey, Alex is probably out of surgery right now. Do you want to give him a call? Or I could drive you back to the hospital?" Meredith asked.
"That's ok. He'll be tired and I should really study for my finals."
"You've already gotten into W-State. I remember just slacking off after that."
"Well, I want to get a partial scholarship. I mean, I don't want to take too much money from mom. I know her care is expensive."
"You shouldn't worry about stuff like that. I had my education paid for by mom, and so did Addison. I know things were different then, but mom has a lot of money. I would know, I'm in charge of it."
"Well then, that's a good back up. But I want to see if I can. It's only a partial scholarship. Mom will pay, trust me."
"Ok, well just don't go study crazy. Have some fun before to go to college."
"Yeah, yeah. Let's go home now ok? Maybe Derek called the house or something."
"Oh my god! What id he finds someone else while he's camping?"
Jordanna laughed. "Like a squirrel or a beaver?"
"Shut up."
