It had been yet another week of hell. Alex still wasn't improving. Meredith was still vomiting. She was still crying herself to sleep at night. Izzie, Christina, and George were trying to help but the only person that could help was Alex. And he couldn't. Mark had also started trying to help her.
She let out another cough and just when she thought she was done her stomach turned again and more spilled out. Her eyes watered with there tears she could no longer hold back as she fell back against the bathroom wall. The door opened and Izzie walked in.
"Are you still vomiting?" Izzie asked looking at her. Meredith nodded as she groaned and wiped her mouth. "Seriously. I'm giving you a blood test and I mean today."
"I'm fine," She groaned as she got up and walked to the sink. She brushed her teeth and walked into her room to get changed.
She sat down on the bed and looked into the mirror. Her eyes were always red and puffy, ever since the accident. Dark circles were forming under them. She hadn't gotten any sleep in two weeks. She was always up vomiting or crying. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the picture she had tucked in the corner almost a month ago. It was of her and Alex. She tore her eyes away and got up to get dressed. When ever she looked at it, she would cry and she didn't have time to cry.

"Go to that exam room," Izzie ordered.
"No," Meredith moaned and walked into the locker room.
"Then we'll do it here. Up to you." Izzie said.
"Do what?" Christina said.
"A blood test. She's still vomiting."
"Still?"
"That would be what she said." Meredith said rolling her eyes. "I'm fine. I'm going to go see Alex."
She changed and slipped out before Izzie could protest anymore. She walked down the hall. She knew she should see if she had the flu or something but she didn't have the energy in her.
She walked into Alex's room. His cuts and bruises were clearing up, but he still looked so frail. She walked over to the bed and gave him a kiss on the cheek as she did everyday. She didn't really know what to say, so she just sat there and looked at him.
She had only been there about ten minutes when her pager went off. She stood up and kissed him softly on the lips.
"Love you," She whispered before leaving. She wiped the forming tears from her eyes as she walked down the hall to answer the page. "You paged?" Meredith said.
"Yeah, that room," She said pointing to the room.
"Thanks," She said forcing a smile before she walked into the room. "Where's the patient?" Meredith said raising her eyes brows at Izzie.
"You are. You are doing this blood test." Izzie said.
"Izzie… you know what? Fine… Just do it." She sat down and took off her coat. Izzie got the supplies and did it quickly.
"I'll send it to the lab and page you when it gets back."
"Fine," Meredith said and walked out.
