"How the hell did you get me in this position TWICE?!" Lexie growled as she slammed her fist onto the cold counter, "I-i-uh-unbelievable! You are unbelievable."
She grabbed her jacket and stormed from the apartment. Her mind was racing and so was her heart beat. She knew she couldn't be angrier than she was now. Mark slept with Callie. He's been telling me for weeks that he loves me and he slept with Callie. Lexie could feel the hot tears streaming down her face as she climbed into the car.
