"Mr and Mrs Steven?" I ask as I walk up to a very anxious looking couple. The wife was sat clutching the arm of the chair she was sat on with black tears staining her face and her husband was pacing along the floor, staring out of the window not really sure what to do with himself.

"How's Jessica? Is she okay? Please tell me that my baby is okay?" Mrs Stevens persists, beginning to hyperventilate a little. Her husband places his hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.

"I'm Dr. Green, I'm taking care of your daughter along with Dr. Karev. Your daughter swallowed a lot of pills so this was no accident, but we successfully managed to pump her stomach and we're certain we managed to clear her stomach of the pills. We did lose her, but we successfully revived Jessica and we're going to watch her overnight and she's probably going to have to stay here for a few days, but Doctor Bailey will confirm this with you. I'm going to refer her to a psych for a consultation as long as that's okay with you because we're going to rule it as an attempted suicide, but everything looks to be good." I reassure them and they both breathe sighs of relief.

"You can refer her to a psych, that's okay. As long as she's okay and she can get all of the help that she needs." Mr. Steven says.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Mrs. Steven thanks.

"I'm just doing my job..."

"Can we see her?"

"I can't let you see her yet, we need to wait for Dr. Bailey who should be out in about ten minutes. She'll tell you what's going on and what's going to happen and then you should be allowed to see her."

"We have to keep an eye on her throughout the night and make sure that she's okay. I'm going to talk to psych and get her a consult and her parents are in the lobby, I spoke to them and told them what's going on and Bailey's going to be here soon to check on her." I say as I walk back in to the room, sitting down on the chair next to Alex and beginning to fill out her chart.

"Looks like we're spending another evening together again, huh? If I'd have known I would've made it more romantic, maybe lit some candles." Alex jokes and I roll my eyes. "What is Bailey doing anyway?"

"She was busy in the ER doing sutures or something, I'm not entirely sure what was going on but she said she'd be here in about ten minutes." I reply. "God, I hope she's alright." I say, looking at Jessica. She looks so peaceful but I know she's in a lot of pain.

"She will be, she'll pull through. We've done everything that we can." Alex reassures. "I'm sorry, for uh, not charging the defibrillator when you told me to. I was just so sure that she was gone - I didn't want to put you through anything."

"No, I know you're sorry, it's okay, honestly. She's alive now and that's what matters, nothing else matters." I look at him and he's staring at Jessica and I can tell that he's thinking about what would've happened if I'd listened to him. "Hey, Alex, it's okay. Don't worry about it. She's alive, she's okay."

"I'm just glad you didn't listen to me and persisted or maybe we'd be giving her parents very different news." He looks at me and I nod, I'd be doing the same thing if it was the other way around.

"I don't listen to you anyway," I joke to lighten the mood and he smiles at me. "I'm just kidding. Of course I listen to you. Who else is going to tell me about the fact that you were sleeping with a nurse, who was also sleeping with George and indirectly gave him syphilis?" I stand up as I sign the chart and put it in the holder at the end of the bed.

"I don't think that you're really somebody to tell me about messed up relationships. It wasn't even a relationship, we were just sleeping together." He states, frowning a little bit.

"Classy." I laugh. "You're probably right anyway. I guess that means we have something in common, we both had pretty messed up relationships going on... But it wasn't a relationship."

"Alright, let's see what's going on in here." Bailey says, walking into the room and picking up her chart. Alex stayed sat down but I stayed standing at the foot of her bed next to Bailey. "Everything looks good... Did you talk to the parents?"

"Yes. I told them that we pumped her stomach, that we had to resuscitate her and that she swallowed too many pills for it to have been an accident so we ruled it an attempted suicide. I got permission from her parents to refer her for a psych consultation and I told them that we'd watch her overnight and that you'd tell them how long she had to stay here for." I explain.

"Great, nice work. Well done you two. I need you to watch her overnight and make sure she doesn't crash, she is your main priority. I want updates every hour or so." Bailey states before turning to me. "I'll talk to you in the morning, okay? Nice job."

"It's three in the morning and we have another five hours of this." Alex says, walking back into the room and taking his seat after going to update Bailey. Jessica had stayed stable all night, we were just waiting for her to wake up. "Can we talk?"

"Talk about what?" I ask and he looks me in the eye; I know exactly what he's talking about. "Do we have to talk about this right now? We have another four hours together and I don't want to have it be awkward because we argued."

"We don't have to argue, I don't want to argue. I just... I want to know if you think it meant something. Did it mean something to you?" He questions. I sigh and chew my lip; this is the conversation I'd been wanting to avoid for so long.

"I don't know. I don't know. My mind was so fuzzy and I don't really know what I was thinking or what came over me or why I decided to kiss you. I just know that I'd quite literally just broken off my engagement and that it was wrong." I explain.

"Do you regret it?" I look at him and contemplate what to say. I never know what is wrong and what is right when it comes to this situation.

"No. It might have been wrong but I certainly don't regret it. Do you?"

"I don't regret it either." He stays quiet and I stare at the floor. "What does it mean?"

"I don't know, Alex. I was heartbroken and emotional and confused and I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know anything right now, I just, don't know what to think."

"Will you please stop saying 'I don't know'? I just wanted to see if it meant something to you. Do you think that maybe -" I cut Alex off before he can say anything else.

"Alex, please don't do this right now. I don't know what I want or what it meant or if it even means anything, I'm just empty and heartbroken and I'm just trying to get over Jack right now. That's all. I just want to take things one day at a time or I might just end up driving myself insane." I sigh. "I'm sorry."

Jessica began tossing and turning in her bed before she began whimpering as she tried to sit up. Alex and I quickly rushed up to check that she actually was awake before we made her lie back down.

"I'll go and get Bailey." Alex says, quickly leaving. I check Jessica is lying down and I check her heartbeat.

"He seems nice," Jessica whispers, and it takes me a second to register that she's talking about Alex. "Maybe you should give him a chance."

"Jessica, you have no idea. I don't have enough time to tell you right now." I smile and lean against the railing of her bed.

"I have all the time in the world. Maybe later?"
