Chapter Thirteen

"Hey Meredith! How did it go?" Alex shouted as he ran towards her. But as he closer he could see that she was anything but okay. "Mer, stop!" Alex yelled.

But she didn't listen, she just kept walking. Alex started to run faster and faster to try to catch up with her. She ran out into the parking lot and Alex could see that she had stopped for a moment to catch her breath, this gave him time to catch up with her.

"Mer, what happened? What did he do?" He asked again while running closer to her. He soon was able to grab her arm and stop her from walking away. Meredith turned gently quickly brushing away the tears. "What? What happened?" Alex asked once more.

"Um-uh." She said hesitantly. Alex looked at her and she knew he wasn't going to let her go until she told him.
"Yes..."
"Uh, he wants to have it." Meredith spit out in a quiet but strong voice. Alex was speechless he didn't know what to say. He just stood there trying to come up with something friendly to say. He didn't want to make it worse.
"Um, uh, what did you say?" He answered hesitantly.
"I said he was crazy."
"Okay, do you- uh, what are you going to do?" He could see her eyes fill with anger when he asked that question but he already knew it was too late to take it back.
"I DON'T KNOW ALEX!" She shouted. "Um, sorry I don't mean to yell at you. You're just trying to help and i'm being a complete bitch."
"Don't worry Mer. You're fine, you can yell at me, it's fine. I can take it. Meredith not to be pushing but you need to-" But before he could finished his sentence Meredith saw something.
"Crap." She interrupted Alex and she started to run to her car.

Alex was confused, but once he turned around he figured it out. It was Nathan, he was running towards them. He turned to Meredith but she was already gone. She was in her car driving away. He still had one more surgery but it wasn't long. After he was going to go see her. He started to walk back to the hospital but he ran into Nathan first. Alex stopped him.

"Hey!" Alex said in a annoyed voice. He started to walk faster to reach Nathan.
"Hi. Is she okay." Nathan sounded like everything was okay and nothing had happened.
"Uh, no, no she is not okay! Are you a complete idiot?" Alex fired back.
"Sorry. I care about her a lot."
"I know but she already has so much going on."
"I know I want to help her! After all it is my kid." He mumbled the second part hoping Alex would have some sympathy for him.
"Just stop, she doesn't need you. She needs Derek." He could see Nathan's face twitch at his name but Alex could care less. "But he's not her so I have to take care of her."
"Alex come on!"
"No. I can and will help her and if she wants you I will call you. Okay?"
"No, not okay."
"Well I guess that too damn bad." Alex walked away brushing shoulders with him. He turned back and he could see Nathan run his hands through is hair. Nathan was confused and annoyed. "Hey! Go see Megan!" Alex yelled back at him.

Nathan was upset, what was he suppose to do? He loved Meredith and he wasn't so sure about Megan anymore. Owen would be pissed at him if he left Megan but he was sure his heart belonged to Meredith. He slowly walked back to the hospital, he was going to talk to Meredith before she did anything to his baby, he just didn't know how to get through to her.
