Chapter Seven

After Halloween Peggy was ignoring Alex walking away from him when he's in the hall, not answering any page that seems fake, and by informing Lexie to not let her anywhere near him. She didn't know how to talk to him now, she doesn't have feelings for him she knows that. It's just shes spent three months having sex and having deep conversations as they laid together afterwards. Peggy is just hurt that he wouldn't tell her about him sleeping with other women.

The two were currently sitting in a closet charting, Lexie asked if they could do they wouldn't be interrupted and do them in the quiet so they could finish faster. "You know, when I said I wanted to avoid Alex I didn't mean let's hide in a closet for an hour."

"This closet is nice and quiet so that I can focus on my charts without the noise of a hospital around me," Lexie tells her as she continues writing in her charts.

Sadly they were interrupted by the one person Peggy desperately wanted to avoid, "You're charting... in a closet."

Lexie decides to answer him while Peggy keeps her eyes trained on the floor, "I get a lot of work done in here. It's quiet and nice."

Alex mumbles as he looks on the shelves, "And a closet."

"Look...when I'm out there roaming the floors, okay, I am the other Grey that Dr Yang likes to humiliate and kick around. And...and in here, I'm...I'm not. You know, in...in here, I'm...it's just...it's...it's my place, okay? It's...it's a closet. " Lexie starts stutters out her explanation making Peggy give her a sad smile.

He sighs, "You know, every intern class has its runt of the litter. You keep this up, this year it's gonna be you. Get up." When he sees Peggy not move he scoffs, "You too Pegs." He watches her ignore him and decides to lean down to whisper in her ear, "If you don't, I'll tell everyone about that thing you did with your tongue the other night."

She scoffs standing up while Lexie panics, "Oh, sorry. You probably need to get in here."

He shakes his head, "No, grab...grab a sling from the box and come with me. The both of you."

"With you?" Lexie asks confused.

"Well, if you'd rather sit like a loser in a closet doing charts, you can." He says looking at Lexie before he turns his head to Peggy, "If you want to sit in here bored out of your mind because you want to avoid me be my guest. Or you can come to help me on ortho today. Your choice." He then walks out of the room making the two girls share a look.

Seeing the hopefulness in Lexie's eyes she sighs, "Fine, we can go with him." She then reaches over and grabs a sling from the box following Alex.

Walking next to him she tries her best not to look over at him, "Please stop being mad at me."

"What do you want me to do then, we go 6 rounds of sex that night. One of them being you just eating ice cream off of my boobs but that didn't satisfy you enough so you jumped in bed with some random woman the second you were alone." She stops turning to him making Lexie stop a few feet back, "Was I not good for you that night? Have you been sleeping with other women for the past three months?"

He sighs, "Peggy you are more then enough but, she wasn't some random woman." Seeing the look on her face he explains shortly, "She's an ex and she came here for me so I'm working on getting her back."

"Well, you could have told me you've been working on getting your ex back instead of letting me feel like an idiot immediately running for you when I was upset." She then turns away and continues walking making him sigh before following her.

They make their way into the ER making the two interns stop and stare in shock at the sight before them. Two women were on the same gurney clutching a bloody wedding dress in their arm, Alex slightly chuckles under his breath, "Oh, check it out. Bambi's a bridesmaid." Everyone else lightly giggles at his words.

✧✧✧

They now stood in a Trama room as Alex ties a sheet around his waist with Peggy's help, because apparently, he could only do it with her help, "Now, Jackie, Dr Karev and I are gonna do this on the count of three, okay?"

Jackie starts rambling as Dr Torres grabs her arm while Alex sets his foot on the edge of the bed, "I should totally win over that Helena girl. I am way more injured than she is. I should just win by default."

Dr Torres interrupted her annoyed, "One... two... three." They then pull her in opposite directions making her scream and her bones pop.

Peggy looks at them hesitantly, "Is it in?" Callie feels around her shoulder making her scream out in pain.

Alex winces, "Ohh, It popped back out."

Callie looks up at them, "She's gonna need surgery."

Jackie starts to panic, "Hey, no. I gotta get back to my dress. Just wrap some bandages around it or something."

"You would rather hold on to a dress with a dislocated shoulder than let me repair it in surgery for you right now?" Torres raises her eyes brow at the woman.

She grits her teeth, "I can have surgery anytime. I can only win this wedding once."

Peggy and Alex stood in the ER now watching George hold the wedding dress with Meredith and the fiancés. Christina walked over and looks at George confused, "So what, he just stands there and holds a dress?"

Meredith sighs, "I know. I thought it was gonna be more exciting, too."

"A monkey could hold a dress." Christina points out looking over at them.

George becomes offended, "Actually, this is a lot harder than it looks."

The woman on the gurney suddenly moves closer to him, "Don't let them get to you. Tune them out, all of them. It's the only way to get through it."
