Piper hadn't seen Alex in 7 years, but she was still always on her mind. She compared every potential prospect to Alex, and not a single person came even remotely close. Especially in bed, but that wasn't for pipers lack of trying. She had dated a couple guys after Alex, her only major relationship was with a guy named Larry, and it lasted about 3 years before she realized he was too boring. But now she just sleeps with any and everyone, to try to give her ¼ of the satisfaction that Alex did. She always regretted it after, but Her last hookup had been particularly bad.
"Polly I can barely sit I'm in so much pain, something is wrong" piper whined into the phone
"it can't be that bad pipes, what do you think could possibly be wrong with it, worst case scenario you probably have an STD, just go to a doctor if itll make you feel better " Polly laughed
"I'm serious Polly! Something is seriously wrong, it hurts to walk and its been days" Piper sighed in defeat
"then go to a doctor"
"I already called my gyno they cant get me in for like 2 weeks, ill be dead by then"
"Piper seriously, just go to the urgent care clinic down the street, its not like its that serious" Polly said starting to sound a little annoyed
"Ugh I hate going to doctors I don't know, but fine, only because I'm desperate" Piper said
….
"Just fill out these forms, and we'll call you back shortly" the receptionist handed piper a clipboard and slid the glass shut
a few minutes later a nurse came and took piper back to an exam room
"take everything off and put this gown on, and then sit on the exam table, the doctor will be in shortly" the nurse says as she hands piper the gown
Piper sits on the on the crinkly paper anxiously waiting. She's ashamed of herself for even being in this situation. Maybe this is a sign she should change her ways and finally try to find someone serious again. Maybe then she would finally be able to stop thinking about her tall, sexy, charming ex girlfriend. Piper sits day dreaming for a couple minutes when she finally hears the door open
The doctor walks in and piper feels like her heart stop
"Hi Sorry for the wait, I'm Dr. Vause, what can I help you w_" Alex finally looks up from the chart and realizes who is sitting before her and after losing her train of thought she recovers quickly… "with today?" she finishes slowly with a grin slowly forming as she stares at Piper
"Al.. Alex?" Piper stutters
"Piper" Alex says giving a tight close lipped smile
"what are you doing here" Piper says still in shocked
"well I work here, thought the fancy white coat might have given me away" she laughs
"Funny joke, you're not a doctor" Piper responds in disbelief
Alex sits down on the stool examining the chart a little annoyed "well piper, after my mom died, I realized I needed to do something with my life, so I went to med school, I graduated, and now work at Litchfield general hospital, and do a couple rotations at this clinic a week…you wouldn't know any of that though since you walked out on me" Alex looked up spitefully
"now that I have explained to you that I am in fact a doctor, are you going to tell me why YOU are here" Alex looks at Piper raising her eyebrows
Piper stares at her in disbelief
"no, no, this can't be happening, I... I need another doctor" Piper starts mumbling to herself
Alex stares at her watching Piper have a conversation with herself and laughs, causing piper to finally make eye contact with Alex again
"Piper, as much as I would love to sit in here with you all day and watch this small breakdown you're having, I do have other patients I eventually have to get to. And unluckily for you im the only Doc here today so…" Alex stands and makes her way in front of piper "Im gonna need you to tell me whats going on? Alex looks at piper motioning for her to start
Piper contemplates telling Alex out of desperation, after all, she did say she didn't want the doctor to be a stranger. But this, this is way too much. How could she possibly look at the women she has been lusting about for the past 7 years and tell her that she's been sleeping with a ton of strangers recently and now her vagina hurts so bad she can barely walk.
"Alex I can't, not this" piper whispers and starts looking around for her clothes and goes to stand up to grab them
Alex sees piper starting to get up and notices her wince in pain, and so instinctively she places her hand on Pipers leg, holding her on the table
"Piper come on, I promise I'll be professional, just let me help you" Alex says in a softer tone
Piper looks down at the hand on her thigh and then back up at Alex
Alex can tell she is still struggling to speak so she tries to push her some more
"pipes, just tell me what's going on" alex says lifting her glasses onto her head
Piper stares at her for awhile, and alex doesn't back down so she finally gives in
"I um, im having a lot pain…down there" Piper says shyly
Alex smirks "Okay piper that's a start, but I'm going to need you to be a little more specific, I need some background details, when did it start, etc"
"Well, it started a few days ago after I….." alex stares at her waiting for her to continue "after I had sex with someone" she finally finishes
Pipers face turns a deep shade of crimson. Alex notices and chuckles to herself but doesn't miss a beat. She did promise professionalism after all.
"Okay, and is that the only partner you've had in the last month? Did you notice anything abnormal?" Alex replies in a serious tone
"um.. yes, yes they were the only one" Piper lies "and I didn't see anything"
"Piper if you don't tell me the truth I'm not going to be able to do my job correctly" Alex quips back
"im not lying!" piper says defensively
"Piper, I could tell anytime you were lying 2 weeks into our relationship, your voice gets high, and your chest turns red" Alex stares back challenging her "cut the bullshit"
Piper stares back speechless
"fine. There was more than one" Piper says sharply
"men or women?" this one was more for Alex's curiosity, but it didn't hurt to know medically
"Both" piper says, knowing Alex wouldn't be expecting that response
Alex looks up at her quickly, but then continues with her questions
"how many? Alex says looking down
Piper stares at the ground fidgeting with her fingers, not wanting to answer alex
"how many people did you sleep with in the last month piper" Alex repeats louder
"11" piper says barely loud enough for Alex to hear
She never wanted to sleep with the same person more than once anymore.
Alex takes a sharp breath when she hears piper, and looks up at her with a look of disappointment and jealousy combined
"what the hell piper?" Alex says unable to hold back
"I thought I was talking to a doctor Alex, not my ex, I don't need your opinion on my sexual history, just medical advice." Piper replies bitterly
"my medical advice is to not sleep around" Alex replies sharply
Piper stares back, and then looks down, she knew she was right
"I knew this was a bad idea. Forget it. just hand me my clothes please" Piper says hastily
"piper wait no, im sorry, I shouldn't.. I shouldn't have said that, I just, what are you doing kid, that's not like you?" Alex says, tone shifting to a lighter mood than before
"you don't know who I am anymore" Piper cuts in
Alex looks hurt by Pipers words. But she quickly covers it
"I know you piper, and that isn't like you, you only do reckless shit like that when your trying to distract yourself from what's really bothering you"
Piper knows she's right, so she doesn't answer, she just stares down at the floor again wishing this day was over
Alex stares for what feels like forever before finally giving up on piper responding, so she decides to go back to why piper is here
"can you describe the pain?" Alex finally speaks up
Piper looks up at her, almost grateful for moving on
"I don't really know, Its not one specific spot, I just feel a really sharp pain everywhere, just feels really uncomfortable and hurts more when I move." Piper says looking away from alex
"okay" Alex stands up and goes over to the box of gloves before snapping one on her hand and turning back to piper "I need to examine you" she says with a grin
Piper blushes "you can't just give me meds or something?"
"no piper, I need to see what's going on, I'm not psychic" Alex replies curtly
Piper scrunches her lips together contemplating her options
"Cmon pipes. Scoot to the end of the table, feet in the stirrups" Alex says tapping pipers leg
Alex walks over and quickly lowers the back of pipers table moving her along
Piper is just laying there staring at the ceiling, when she feels alex tap her ankles
"do you need help?" Alex replies
"I cant do this" piper says throwing her arms over her face
"its nothing I haven't seen before piper" Alex smirks
at this piper props herself up on her elbows glaring at Alex
"seriously" She yells
Alex cant contain her laughter, and shrugs her shoulder
"spread em, kid" Alex says huskier than before
Pipers stomach constricts at hearing that voice. She lays back down admitting defeat. She slowly lifts her leg before taking a second and then she closes her eyes and lifts her other leg in the stirrup. She was officially spread eagle in front of her ex-girlfriend. She could have sworn Alex gasped, but she wasn't sure. How could this get any worse.
"Just Relax pipes" Alex says softly
Then she feels Alex touch her and remembers how it could indeed be more humiliating. For years, that touch made her melt, and those memories are flashing through her mind. But this, this is awful, because it feels good and hurts and embarrasses her at the same time. She cant be having these thought about Alex. Even now, Alex still makes her feel better.
"If you don't relax this is going to hurt, and I don't want it to hurt babe" Alex says, and piper cant see her face but she knows exactly the look she is giving her
"I'm trying" piper mumbles barely able to breath
At that, Alex slides her fingers inside of Piper, continuing the exam.
And fuck, Piper wanted to die, because it felt good.
