Chapter Five: Alex
Four Seasons: The Party
Alex: Hello, Meredith
Meredith: Alex?
Meredith's thoughts
As I am turning around by hearing my name called I am wondering who it is. Oh my god, it's Alex!
Meredith: Alex, hello
Alex: Hello, Mer. How are you?
Meredith: I'm alright and yourself?
Alex: I'm wonderful now that you are here. I am so glad that you could make it back for Addie's wedding. I was hoping we could talk
Meredith: Talk? You want us to talk. What is there to talk about?
Alex: Everything, like where have you been for the last five years
Meredith: Where I've been for the last five years is none of your business and as for a talk about the past. I don't want to talk about it, not here not now. It's Addie's day and I'm going to be there for Addie
Meredith's thoughts
I can't believe that Alex wants to talk! Maybe he wants to say that he is sorry and wants me back. If that is the case then I can't because he broke my heart already I couldn't afford it again. I just wish he'd stop talking to me right now. God, what an ass Alex is. I hate him yet I love him how in the world is that possible.
Christina: Oh my god, oh my god Meredith! Where have you been?
Meredith: Christina!
Meredith and Christina hug. After the hug Christina turns around so that she is in front of Meredith and between Meredith and Alex.
Christina: Hello, ass. Since you brutally dumped my cousin a month before the wedding, I don't think you will mind that I steal her away
Meredith: What the hell was that about Christina?
Christina: You needed saving
Meredith: No, I don't need saving. I was perfectly capable of handling the situation
Christina: Yeah, sure Mer whatever you say. You are just to nice, you are bright and shiny
Meredith: I'm not bright and shiny, I'm dark and twisty
Christina: Say whatever you want to say Mer. Oh my god would you look at that. (Points to Mark) I wonder who he is
Meredith: Oh that's Mark
Christina: Mark, whose Mark?
Meredith: Mark is my date
Mark turns around and sees Meredith
Mark: Hey, beautiful (kisses her)
Meredith: Hey, Mark. This here is my cousin and best friend Christina
Mark: Hello Christina
Christina: Hello, well Mer I think I'll give you guys some alone time. Talk to you guys later.
Mark and Meredith: Bye Christina
Mark: So, how are you doing Mer?
Meredith: I'm alright. I had an encounter with Alex
Mark: Alex as in your ex fiancé
Meredith: Yeah
Mark: What in the world did that ass want?
Meredith: He wanted to talk
Mark: Talk? What in the world would he want to talk about?
Meredith: He wanted to talk about the last five years and where I've been. Then Christina came and saved me.
Mark: I see, do you want to talk to Alex?
Meredith: No
ding, ding, ding
Ellis: Hello, everyone I would like to make a toast
Meredith: Oh my goodness, who gave her a microphone
Ellis: Welcome friends and family, James and I are so happy that you are here to celebrate with us as we welcome Derek and the Shepard's into our family.
Meredith: Oh, god, oh god
Ellis: As you all know this should have been Meredith and it would have been Meredith but, we all know that crashed and burned but, anyhow this is about Addie and Derek. Derek I am so glad that you fell in love with the girl next door. Congratulations Addie and Derek, may you have all the happiness in the world
Audience: To Derek and Addie
Mark: I think I'm going to get some air, if you'll excuse me Meredith
Meredith: Of course Mark
Mark's thoughts
I can't believe Alex wants to talk to Mer. He shouldn't be allowed to talk to her not after what he has done to her. When Mer came to Boston she was broken. It took a year and a half to make her whole again and I just don't want Alex breaking her again. God, who knows what would happen to Mer if Alex were to break again. How long would it take for her this time to be whole.
Outside
Alex: Hello, there mate
Mark: hello
Alex: Weddings are times for celebration of love and joyfulness
Mark: they sure are, are you okay mate?
Alex: I don't know. It's just there's this girl and I use to love her and now I see her here again and I don't know. It's just I want to talk to her and I still like her I might even still love her
Meredith sees Mark and Alex talking.
Meredith: Hey there Mark (kisses him)
Mark: Hey
Alex: Meredith
Meredith: oh hello Alex. I see you met my ex Mark
Alex: wait, wait you two are together
Meredith: Yes, Mark my parents are ready to go whenever you are
Mark: I'm ready now, let's go
Alex's thoughts
I can't believe Meredith moved on. If only I didn't break if off with Meredith we'd be together now but, I couldn't be with her especially after with what I did to her. She would never forgive me for what I did. I just hope she never finds out.
Mark's thoughts
SO, that was Alex. That was the prick that broke Meredith's heart and left her broken.
Meredith's thoughts
I wonder what Alex and Mark were talking about. Maybe Mark will tell me later. Everywhere I turn around there is Alex. I just want this week to be over with.
