Thank you for the reviews guys! I think Alex has that 'I don't give a shit anymore' attitude so, pursuing piper is what she wants to do. Perhaps Larry might cause some trouble in the future that might make Alex regret acting like that, but well see :] Its not like Alex does it with all the patients, I just feel like Piper is the one for her, so its different, but yes, she is risking her medical license for Piper, but with all good reason right? :p Review for more! Enjoy this one! - Courtney

"What the fuck Piper!" Larry repeated, moving closer to the blonde. Piper didn't know how to respond to her angry boyfriend.
"What the fuck was that? Are you kidding me? I get a call from Polly, not my girlfriend, but Polly saying you were hurt in a car accident, I rush to see you, only to find you making out with a fuckin' doctor? Are you fucking kidding me?" Larry was next to her now, hands still at his side, rolled into fists. His face looked as if he would explode at any minute.
"Larry, I…" Piper trailed off, still not finding the right words.
"Hey Chapman, this is Morello, she helped stitch up that bad boy on your head. We are here to check up on you and see if you need anything." Nicky eye balled the furiously shaking man and then the wide eyed blonde but didn't miss a beat.
Lorna moved closer to Piper, reaching out to change the dressing on her wounds. "Hey, can you give us a minute here?" She looked at Larry who was intently staring at Piper. Lorna's eyebrows were raised, clearly not impressed. He hesitated and set his jaw before turning to leave.
"Don't make her fuckin' ask twice." Nicky commented harshly.
"We will talk about this Piper…" He said curtly before leaving the room.
Piper leaned her head back and groaned. She felt bad for what just occurred. Something in her, told her to just end it with Larry, right then and there. She felt love for him, but couldn't bring herself to believe that she was in love with him. She felt a spark of life, every time Alex entered her room and she practically melted when Alex touched her. Her skin felt like it was on fire and she loved it. She wanted to see Alex, and only Alex. At that very moment, she couldn't care less if Larry never returned to her side. She knew it was foolish. She didn't know the first thing about Alex, and had been dating Larry for two years. Never in those two years did she feel the way she had when Alex kissed her.
Lorna gave her some more pain medicine while Nicky sat down and played on her phone quietly.
"Damn, I don't even know what to do any more" Piper mumbled.
"Follow your heart, it may not be best in your brain, but it will almost always lead you to be happiest." Lorna smiled as she looked at Nicky. Nicky glanced back and color flushed through her cheeks.
"Look, do what makes you happy, if you're not happy, you're not doing it right, 'kay kid? Nicky added in a sincere tone. Nicky patted Piper's shoulder before looking at Lorna. She waited for Morello to finish then they walked out of Piper's room together nearly holding hands.
Piper sat silently, taking in the advice of the two interns. Piper had a hunch they were hooking up, probably secretly. They looked cute together and she could vision it. Piper felt her stomach drop as she thought about Alex and her together again. She knew from that point on, she wasn't in love with Larry.
"Larry…" Piper called out loudly after a few minutes of silence. She was nervous to see her boyfriend again after how he reacted earlier.
Larry sauntered back into the quiet room, with a solemn look on his face. Clearly he was hurt and angry, but it didn't make the current situation any different. Piper decided that she was going to have to leave Larry, even if it wasn't for Alex. She realized that her heart wanted to be with someone else, preferably Alex, but surely not with Larry. She loved him and their relationship was great, but as Piper looked back, she saw Larry move into the friend zone as she compared how she felt about him to the way Alex made her feel.
"I'm sorry about what happened but I need to tell you something." She started, biting her lip gently.
Larry waited, expecting a huge apology and vow to never speak to the doctor again.
"I love you Larry, but… I am not in love with you, and I cannot be with you anymore. I know this is hard, but it's what I feel, I am so sorry." Piper felt horrible about breaking Larry's heart but oddly a sense of comfort washed over her, knowing that she did not feel guilty about picturing herself with Alex.
Larry looked at the blonde with utter shock.
"Pipes… w-what do you mean? I know some times we have fights, but we have two years, two great years together… does that mean nothing to you? How could you leave me for some dyke doctor you just met!?" Larry grew louder and angrier with every word.
"Larry!" Piper frowned at him for talking badly about Alex, although she understood his pain. She wished it didn't have to be like that but, her heart would always over rule her mind. She didn't want to live life, wondering what if she would have pursued Alex. Alex probably would want nothing to do with her, which made her heart feel like it was going to drop into her stomach. A moment of panic shot through her as she wondered what she just did. Maybe she could go back and pretend it was just the pain pills.
Alex walked in just at that moment. Piper had a blank look on her face while Larry screamed obscenities at Piper. She noticed a tall brunette walking swiftly into her room and grabbing her, now ex-boyfriend by the arm. Piper's heart fluttered as she saw the beautiful woman before her.
"You need to leave now" She said in such calm and collected manner that it made chills run down Piper's spine.
Larry started to protest before Alex pulled him out into the hallway, she was clearly taller and more intimidating than Larry, so he did not struggle very much.
"I can't fuckin' believe this shit is happening right now!" she heard Larry shout as he left the room.
"Hey Pipes, you alright?" Alex returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed. Pip was on the verge of tears. Alex pulled her arm around Piper and kissed the side of her head. Piper instantly relaxed and sighed with relief as she leaned into Alex for support and comfort.
"Better now." Piper smiled and closed her eyes as Alex brushed her hand up and down Piper's side, trying to soothe her.
"That asshole wont step a foot back in here… unless you want him back here, I mean he is your boyfriend…" her tone sounded sad as she looked to the floor.
"Actually, ex… I realized that I wasn't in love with him and instead of trying to fool myself, I ended it." Piper said with growing confidence. She knew she made the right choice, although it was still hard and she felt bad.
"Piper, I know I'm your doctor and everything, but… would you mind if I took you out?" Alex looked into the blonde's blue eyes with intensity, full of hope. "I don't want to be rebound or a band aid, so if you're not ready, I get it, but I really like you, and I don't think I can stay away from you." Alex added quietly.
"I left him for you." Piper stated simply. "I am ready." Alex turned to kiss Piper's lips. Their lips met in a soft collision. They both grew eager as Alex cupped Piper's face with her long fingers and wiggled her tongue against Piper's lips. Piper brought her good hand to the hem of Alex's shirt and shot her hand up, moving it up to a breast and tenderly massaged it. Alex let out a small moan and kissed Piper with more passion.
"Not yet Pipes… Soon but not now..." Alex broke away reluctantly and kissed Piper's neck softly. Piper sighed and pulled her hand back. She knew Alex could get fired if they were caught, but she was done wasting time. She wanted to feel Alex on every inch of her body. Luckily, Alex had remembered to close the curtain in her room before sitting with Piper, which impulsed her to feel the doctor's beautiful body.
Piper's train of thought was interrupted by Alex's pager. She groaned when Alex stood to leave her.
"I'm sorry baby, I'll return for you soon, guarantee that." She added a wink, kissed Piper's eager lips once more before turning on her heal and walking out of the room slowly.
Piper let out another loud sigh and dropped her head back on the bed and closed her eyes. She smiled to herself as she drifted to sleep.
