So sorry guys for not updating sooner! I have so much homework and finals and plus I was in the hospital so um yeah. Anyways, on with the story!
After Addison had left, Alex had gone back into his thoughts, wondering how he was going to get Addison to stay. If I let her go, I'm going to lose her forever, but if I try to make her stay, she'll just run. While he was thinking, he descended the stairs and walked into the interns' locker room, and sat on the bench across from his locker. I never realized this, but I love her. Alex had never thought he ever felt love before, and now that he has it, he wasn't going to let it slip away from in between his fingers.
Sitting in the locker room for another eight minutes, he pondered the fact that she was really leaving, and permanently. Just when I see what she means to me, I lose her. He left the locker room and went to the NICU, to think. When he got there, he saw none other than Addison herself, the person haunting his very thoughts.
Knocking on the door, Addison turned around to see who it was. Alex. "Alex, hi I wasn't expecting to see you. I just came here to think." Alex goes to sit in the rocking chair in the corner. "It seems we have the same ideas, I too come here to think. This place really puts life in perspective for you." Addison walks over to him, and sits on his lap, looking at the little girl in the incubator closest to them. "We need to talk. About us, if there is an us." Addison looked down at her hands, afraid of what his answer might be. Feeling her chin being tilted up, Addison lifts her head and looks straight into Alex's eyes. "I can't just stay here Alex. I have to get out of Seattle, there is just too much drama here with Derek and then Mark…" she trailed off, not really knowing what else to say. She knew they weren't good reasons, but she just wasn't happy here. "Addison, I really want you to stay. Please stay." With those final words, Alex leaned towards Addison and softly met his lips with hers. Leaning back into the chair, he took Addison with her, and they just sat there, just happy to be with each other. When they finally broke apart, he just held her. Addison wiped at her eyes, not wanting Alex to see her cry. "What's wrong Addie?" She didn't answer. "Addie?" "Alex, I love you. But I can't do this right now. I am leaving tomorrow, I have to go." With a final kiss, she was gone.
