A/N: Two updates in one day! Not sure when I'll be posting again, check my profile everyonce in a while, it usually says. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Dr. Bailey was running. When she ran, she had a purpose.
"If he took all those, he's dead," Derek said, trying to keep up. "If he took a combination of those, he could be dead. Depending on how many he took, he-"
"Stop saying that!" Dr. Bailey stopped briefly and turned around. "I know the possibilities, but he is fine! So stop saying that!" With that, she turned and started running again, leaving Derek with a worried look on his face.
She spotted him on the third floor, heading into a empty supply closet. She called his name, but he either didn't hear her or he didn't care.
Dr. Bailey ran into the closet and was both terrified and relieved at the sight of Alex holding a bottle in his hand.
"Did you take any yet?" Please say no.
"Yeah." I'm sorry.
"How many?" I know it was at least 5.
"Four." Six.
She grabbed his arm, dragged him into the nearest bathroom, and forced him to vomit them up.
He leaned against the wall and put his head in his hands. She turned away from him, regaining her composure. After a few minutes, she cleared her throat and turned around.
"You stole medication from the hospital."
"Did you tell the chief?"
"You could go to jail, Alex. What where you thinking? I thought I taught you better than this."
"I'm sorry."
"Do you just not care about the consequences?"
"Of course I care! I wanna keep my job, I don't want to go to jail!"
"If I don't say anything, and someone else finds out, we would both be in heaps of trouble."
"Dr. Bailey, please. It was a one time thing. A drunk, stupid mistake."
"Alex, you tried to O.D. on OxyCodone. You tried to kill yourself! Do I look stupid to you?"
"I didn't try to kill myself, I know how much is too much. It will never happen again."
Dr. Bailey sighed and closed her eyes. She needed to think. Because she had no idea what to do. "I'll make you a deal."
"Anything."
She opened her eyes. "I will keep this quiet if you promise me that you will to talk to Dr. Wyatt."
"The shrink?"
"Everyday."
"Everyday?"
Dr. Bailey gave Alex a look that said I am giving you the biggest break of your life, don't you dare try to get out of it.
"Okay. Deal." Alex stood up and walked towards the door.
"Alex."
He turned around.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
He is so not fine.
A/N: I cannot stress enough the importance of reviews. Not only do they make me smile, but they also make me want to update!
