Addison made it a point to visit Holli every day at least once. The two would talk and laugh as if they were the same age and best friends. She learned that Holli was out here for a boarding school and her mother was still on the other side of the country. Her father had stopped by once, which surprised Addison, because knowing Tony, he wasn't one to be all that caring.

"Hey, I don't know if this is some sore spot for you or something, but why hasn't your mom stopped by? I mean, her daughter was severely injured." It was after Addison's shift and she was sitting at the foot of Holli's bed, the room lit by the harsh glare of the fluorescent lights, so very common to hospitals.

"Oh, you know Marcie Carpenter, very self-absorbed, can't stand to waste time," Holli answered, blasé.

"True, true. But still, you'd think she could make a little time to see her daughter."

"She's never been the world's greatest mom, you know?"

"Well, she was really young when she had you-" Addison started to make excuses but Holli cut her off.

"And she wasn't ready to be a mom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before. It's okay, I'm so over it."

"That's really mature of you, you know."

"Yeah, I know. I'm years ahead of my body. Don't get too used to it, because I can be the most immature person I know," Holli grinned.

"Then you haven't met Karev."

Holli's face screwed up, trying to remember who exactly Karev was. She had heard the name before, somewhere… "Oh yeah, your hot intern guy. Whatever happened to him? I haven't seen him since that first day. Are you guys, like, an item or something?"

"What? No! No! No," Addison was so surprised that she found herself repeating herself, and feeling a blush creep up her face.

"You lie. Come on, you can tell me the truth, you know that. I can't tell anyone, no one comes to see me!" the black haired girl wheedled.

"We're not anything! I mean, I'm his boss, but that's it!"

"I don't believe you, but I'll drop it for now. But if I have to hear from one of these nurses that you two hooked up, then I'm killing you, okay?"

"Don't worry; you won't have to, because we never will."

"Once again, I don't believe you."

"We won't!"

"Alright then, let's move on, since you seem to be in denial. Dr. Sloan came by to see me. He asked about you."

"Sloan? What? What'd he ask?"

"Oooh, I get it, you're so sure you and that Karev guy won't hook up because you like Dr. Sloan! That makes so much sense!"

"What? No! I do not like Sloan! Not at all! He just brings back bad memories now."

"How?" Holli asked, ever the curious one.

"Well, um, so the thing is, he's kind of the reason Derek and I got divorced. I, uh, well, uh, see, Derek kind of, well, um, caught us in bed together," as she said this she got smaller and smaller and started studying the floor as if it held the meaning of life.

"Addison Montgomery! Who have you slept with in this hospital? On second thought, tell me who you haven't slept with, because it sounds like that'll be the shorter list."

"Shut up! I have not slept with that many people! Only Sloan and Derek. And weren't we dropping this subject?"

"No, I said I'd drop the whole you and the hot intern subject. This is an entirely different topic. But back to that subject that I said I'd drop, I lied, I'm not dropping it, it's far too entertaining. So you haven't slept with Karev?" Holli rambled. Addison nodded. "And you don't want to?"

"No, I do not want to sleep with Karev," Addison echoed.

"Mm-kay, sure, let's just pretend I believe you."

"I don't!"

"Well, why the hell not? I'd sure want to!" Holli exclaimed, then saw the maternal look on Addison's face, one that said 'you're fifteen, and there is no way in hell that I'm going to allow that' so she hastily added, "If I was older, of course."

"Of course," Addison echoed, loftily.

"You didn't answer my question."

"And I have no intent to."

"I will get it out of you, my pretty, just you wait!" Holli added an evil witch cackle on to the end.

Addison's pager went off. She checked it and hastily got up. "I have to go now, 911, you know how these things are," she said with a shrug.

"Saved by the pager! You'd better thank whoever you have to go operate on profusely. But all in good time. I will find out, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" the teen exclaimed. Then, as Addison was walking out the door, she yelled at her retreating form, "Nothing, you hear, nothing!"


that's all folks! my evil dictator friend says to review now, so you must!
