Zoey lay in her bed in the hospital room getting agitated. Not only was she not able to work, she wasn't able to go to college which is what she missed most. She also had Derek constantly breathing down her neck trying to convince her to leave Justin and Dr. Torres making sure her face remained fixed. She was a big girl and she was adamant that she loved Justin and he loved her and she knew that deep down, he didn't mean to physically hurt her. She felt that as long as he doesn't cheat on her, everything will be ok and she will stay with him. It was the second day she was confined to bed rest; Dr. Torres, Derek and Mark were in her room along with two other doctors who she thought were interns who she presumed were there to learn. She had planned to make it very difficult for Mark who just stood there silently listening to what the other doctors had to say. Every so often Zoey noticed Mark glancing over at her and then looking away. This gave her emission to put her make-Mark-Sloan-as-uncomfortable-as-possible plan in to action. After the 10th time she noticed Sloan looking over at her, she said nonchalantly, "Excuse me doctor but is there something wrong with my face?" which made Callie Torres stop mid sentence and everyone else in the room stare at her.

"Everything okay Miss Heart?" She asked her.

"Well no not really. Dr. Sloan here keeps looking at me and I want to know why. I mean if there's something wrong with my face then I think I have a right to know."

All attention from the other doctors turned to Mark who stood there embarrassed but quickly said, "No - nothing's wrong, I'm just admiring my work." And then gave Zoey a look that said don't mess with me who just returned an innocent smile. Whilst Callie and one intern didn't notice this, Derek and Lexie did and neither liked what they saw. Derek just shook his head and continued from where Callie left off and Lexie tried to smile but and listen to what Dr. Shepherd was saying but her eyes gave her away. Something was going on with Mark and Miss Heart and she was determined to find out what it is.

Two hours later, Lexie entered Zoey's room, pretending to check her charts. "Hey. I'm Dr. Grey."

"Oh hi. Wait, are you Meredith?" Zoey asked her. Derek had told her all about this wonderful Meredith Grey, daughter of the legend Dr. Ellis Grey but she had never actually met the woman.

"No I'm Lexie but Meredith's my sister. Well half sister but sister all the same. We share a father, if you could call him that."

Zoey just nodded and smiled. Wow this girl rambled on a lot.

"So how do you know about Meredith?" Lexie inquired. If she was going to find out about her and Mark then she might as well start somewhere.

"Oh well I'm good friends with Der – I mean Dr. Shepherd and he's always telling me about her but I've never actually met her." Zoey laughed.

Lexie smiled. If she was friends with Derek and Derek was best friends with Mark, maybe that's all it was between her and Mark. Well she could only hope. "How long you been friends with Derek then?" she asked innocently.

"About five years. I met him and Mark in New York … Sorry I don't mean to be rude but is there a reason why you're asking me so many questions?" Zoey asked suspiciously.

"Oh I'm just curious. So you know Mark huh?"

Zoey wondered exactly how much she knew and whether she should tell her. "Yeah I know him. I knew him very well if you get what I mean. I'm guessing he's still the same womanising manwhore he was back then." Zoey smirked.

Lexie nodded and remained silent. "Well not so – so much any – anymore." Lexie stuttered. So there was a history there, so they did sleep together. For how long and how many times? She knew Mark was a manwhore and she knew he had slept with Addison all those years ago but what happened with these two was what she really wanted to know. She saw the look on Mark's face when he ran out the room the day before and it wasn't just a coincidence that he didn't hear her like she originally thought. Could he still like her?

"Really? You mean he's reformed? I wonder how long that's going to last for." Zoey joked. She looked over at her and saw her face full of … Zoey didn't know how she felt but it couldn't have been anything good. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine."

"Liar." Zoey smiled. She quite clearly wasn't fine and she had a feeling the talk of Mark Sloan had made her feel that way. Zoey definitely sympathized with her. She was young girl who had quite clearly fallen for Mark's charms. "Let me guess, he's slept with you once and now won't return your phone calls, text messages, the whole shebang?"

"Not exactly. We slept together – are sleeping together. Just no one knows."

"And that gives him reason to go sleeping with everyone else?" Zoey guessed.

"No. He's not, just me. Just in secret."

"And you want it to not be in secret but he refuses to commit."

"Something like that."

Zoey nodded. She knew exactly how this intern felt, to full for his charms, catch him but never really have him. "Hey listen, do you want to know what happened between me and Mark?"

Lexie nodded. Even though she knew she wasn't going to like what she going to hear, she had to know. After all, this girl was back in Mark Sloan's life so she might as well get the gory details over with.

Next couple of chapters will be a flash back to what happened five years ago.
