"You know, Adds, Mark did actually have a point; when is the wedding?" Holli asked as the two drove home that night.

"I- I have no idea," she sighed as they stopped at a red light. She lightly hit her head against the wheel.

"Keep that up and you're going to have a big nasty bruise on your forehead on your wedding day. Not that we know when that is. We know the flowers, the cake, and the music but we don't know the date. Brilliant, Addison, just brilliant."

"I'm sorry. I've been busy and so has Alex. It's difficult. You'll understand when you're the one organizing a wedding."

"I practically am," Holli pointed out.

"I mean your wedding," Addison said exasperated.

"I know," Holli replied with a smirk.

"Smartass."

"We have a lot of conversations to this effect, have you ever noticed that? You say something, I say something snarky back, and then you call me a smartass."

"Okay," Addison dragged out the word, giving Holli a look that clearly said she thought Holli was crazy, "That was random."

"I say whatever comes to my mind; you should know this by now. Hey, did you know that Sloane and Izzie are sleeping together?" she said randomly, turning in her seat to get a better look at Addison.

"Really?" Addison kept her eyes on the road and tried her best to sound uninterested, but to no avail.

"Yeah, they have been for like a month now. Which is really kind of sad, cuz I like Izzie, but, whatever, not my point. Izzie told George who told Meredith, who told McDreamy, I mean Derek," she corrected herself when she found herself the subject of her first McSatan glare in a really long time, "And also Christina, and neither of them told anyone, but Olivia overheard and told Dolores, you know, the NICU nurse with that unfortunate birthmark on her face? Yeah, her, and she told me," Holli finished proudly.

"Wow."

"I know right? Who would've thought? I mean, she seemed like the only person ever to able to resist him and yet now they're sleeping together. I wonder if they're actually in a relationship or if it's just no stings attached. Probably the second one, because Izzie's smart and knows that he'll end up cheating. It's not like he won't, I mean, it is Mark Sloane we're talking about here."

"Holli?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you come with an off button?" Addison grinned to show she was joking. Well, for the most part anyways.

"No. Usually you'd love this sort of gossip. What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Addison stated unconvincingly, "Nothing."

"There so is something wrong. I thought we agreed that we wouldn't do the whole 'block each other out' thing, it never goes well."

"I'm not blocking you out."

"Yes you are. Something's bugging you and you're not telling me what it is."

"It's just… it's nothing," Addison shook her head as if that would help clear her thoughts.

"What?"

"It's just that… Izzie told Alex that she loves him today."

"Excuse me?"

"I know."

"But… but…" Holli looked confused.

"I know."

"I am so confused right now."

"You and me both."

"So she's sleeping with Mark and then tells Alex she loves him? What the hell? And why would she tell him? She knows he's engaged. It's not as if he's going to realize his mistake and come back to her! He has you and he loves you and… what did he tell her?"

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. What?"

"What. Did. He. Tell. Her?" Holli repeated, pausing between each word to make sure she was understandable.

"That he loves me," Addison replied smugly.

"Have I mentioned that if you two break up, I want him?"

"Uh, no. And we're not breaking up, so don't even think about it."

"You have competition now, Izzie and me. I think that you'd better watch out."

"And I think that you'd better drop it now before I hurt you."

"Ooh, she gets mean at the mention of a break up, folks!" Holli commented in a sports-announcer voice. Dropping the voice she said, "That's probably a good thing."

"Uh-huh," Addison said, barely paying attention to anything Holli was saying.

Holli noticed this, and after waving her arms around in that way that is somehow supposed to get people's attention, improvised, "So I'm pregnant and I'm going to elope with Jason, who is not my baby's dad, that's Evan, but he's an asshole who's gotten three other girls pregnant and left them, so I'm going to marry Jason, who I don't really love, but I like him enough I suppose."

"Oh, that's nice," Addison replied as if in a trance, completely proving Holli's theory.

"So I know you're not paying attention and all, but please don't crash."

"Okay."

-------------------

"Addison's going all spacey on me," Holli sighed as she sat down on the couch next to Alex who was watching TV while Addison showered.

"Really?"

"You're so not paying attention."

"Nope, not really."

"Pay attention," Holli said as she grabbed the remote from an unsuspecting Alex and turned the TV off.

"Hey! I was watching that!"

"Very good, Captain Obvious, you were, but now you are not and you are paying attention and having a conversation with me."

"Fine," Alex sulked.

"What are you, five?"

"No."

"That's what I thought."

"What do you want?" Alex asked, annoyed.

"For you to pay attention."

"Leave me alone. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Has Addi been normal lately?"

"Um, yeah, I think so. Why?"

"She was spacing out on the ride home. It's not good for a surgeon to space out. In fact, it's very, very bad as you probably know."

"Yeah it is. Is there a point to this or can I turn the TV back on?"

"Addison doesn't space out."

"She's got a lot on her mind. It's normal."

"You're annoyingly difficult. Fine," she sighed, frustrated, "Turn the TV back on."

He obeyed and she walked out of the room. She grabbed her jacket and yelled, "I'm going for a walk."

-------------------

This walk was a usual thing for her. Any time she needed out, she'd walk. She'd walk to nowhere in particular, but just let her feet carry her. The neighborhood was safe; it was practically suburbia for God's sake. Tonight she walked away from the safest part of the neighborhood towards one of the busy streets that framed it.

It was a clear night for once and she marveled at the amount of stars she could see. Even if there wasn't a lot, after New York, any star that didn't turn out to be the lights of an airplane was amazing.

Looking at the sky, she forgot to pay attention to the ground. There was a crack in the sidewalk and she tripped. She braced herself for the pain, but a hand shot out and stopped her fall. "Tha-" she began, but as she looked to her rescuer the words caught in her throat. She found herself staring into the coldest blue eyes she had ever seen. "What?" she asked coldly, annoyed and frightened.

"Well, hello to you too," a woman's familiarly malevolent voice that matched the eyes remarked sarcastically.

"Can I help you with something?" Holli questioned, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes. First you can thank me for saving you from a painful fall. And then you can come with me."

"If you think I'm going anywhere with you, then you must be crazier than everyone thinks. And there is no way in hell that I'm going to thank you for anything."

"Don't use that tone of voice with me, young lady," the woman warned, sounding angrier and angrier with each word.

"You can't tell me what to do anymore. You're not my mom."

"Maybe not legally. Biologically though? Still your mom. And you are going to listen to me and come with me."

"You've never been a mom. Ever," Holli spat. "You can't call yourself one," she got out before Marcie slapped her so hard she saw stars.

"I can and I will."

"I'm still not going anywhere with you, and if you think this is helping to convince me then you might want to go for a psych check," she gritted through the pain. This time Marcie punched her hard enough that the pain made her collapse.

"You are going to come with me. We can either leave now or I can continue."

"I'm not going anywhere," Holli said, struggling to stand up. Her mother pushed her back down on the pavement. This time, no one stopped her fall and she hit her head hard enough that everything went black.

and there's the chapter. please don't ask me what's going to happen to holli, cuz i honestly don't know yet. but any ideas for her can be put in that review you know you want to write!
