Five

[Addison]

She balanced her purse on her knees as she sank to the ground of the empty elevator, somehow managing to gracefully balance on her five inch heels. Not that she needed them. She was barley 15 years old, but she had her mother’s body. From the long auburn hair, to the brilliant blue grey eyes, to the tall slender frame. Nobody in their right mind would ever think she belonged to anyone else.

She rummaged through her white Prada bag, her I-phone ringing. It was him. But she couldn’t see him now. She couldn’t. She had called her mother, asking for cash. She wanted to go to the mall, spend money, do something that normal teenage girls do on their holidays. Her mother was probably already fuming that she wasn’t there. She wasn’t old enough to get a license yet, and it was like her mother expected her to fly from their house on the outskirts of town to the hospital. No.

She pushed the emergency stop button on the elevator and clicked the answer button on her phone, silently she thanked God for ATT, and the fact that she was even able to get a signal in the elevator to begin with.

“Hey baby…” She said in a seductive tone

[cutebutboring]

The coversation was over before she knew it. And now she was cursing ATT, ready to throw her phone against a wall because of her pointless anger. She was in the middle of secret phone sex in a hospital elevator. An elevator that could be used to transfer dying patients into surgery, but no... her call was more important.
She released the button and got off at the proper floor. While walking to the nurse's station she saw her mother come out of a patient's room and walking in the same direction, setting the chart she had in her hand on the chest while she looked her daughter from head to toe.
"You look a little...I wanna say slutty but that's mean so I'm going with kinky."

Alexia raised her brows. "You would know, I borrowed everything from your closet." she shot back, a smirk forming on her lips. "Okay, that was uncalled for but I couldn't help myself. You set yourself up and I had to take the shot. But whatever...why am I still talking? I'm in a rush. I need like..200 bucks? Three if you've got it on you..in cash."

Mark came up behind Addison, placing his hands on her hips and resting his head on her shoulder. His eyes where fixed on his daughter, also scanning her from head to toe. "Why do I feel like I've seen that outfit on someone? And why did I enjoy it so much more that time? And why do you need that much money?"

"I have to go, people are waiting for me." she grabbed all the money Addison was counting and ran off, her heels clicking on the ground until the sounded faded away.

Mark turned his attention back to his wife in confusion. "She's starting to get really weird."

[Addison]

“She’s a teenager she’s been really weird for umm-- forever.” Addison said. She watched as her daughter clicked away. Listening as the sound of her high heels clicking down the hallway.

She turned and looked up at her husband. “Do you think something is going on with her?” She asked him, knowing it probably wouldn’t give them too much of a lead way into what Mark felt about his daughter. He knew about as much a bout her as he knew about Addison’s profession.

“I don’t know Addie, but she has enharated your shopping addiction, so throwing down $300 is suspicious. Normally she asks for the unlimited credit card, or an advance on her allowance, on her own card. She never asks for something as low as $300, and she never asks for cash.” He pointed out. “Nobody carries that much cash on them these days. Everything is converted to plastic.”

“Now should we worry? I don’t’ think so, she’s a gowing teenage girl, and believe me I know wom---” Addison playfully hit him on the arm. He held his hads up in a defensive way.

“I’m just saying….girls are weird.”

[cutebutboring]

That night Alexia walked into the house empty handed. She could hear her parents from the living room meaning they were home and there was no way she was going to get through without being interogated. As she stepped closer she saw Addison lying on the couch with her legs over Mark's lap, restraining him in place. They were argueing about something stupid and pointless like they always did but stopped as soon as they saw their daughter.

"What did ya get?" Addison asked, propping herself up on her elbows to see that her daughter had bought with the money she had taken. "You didn't buy anything? Great..gimme my money back. If you're not gonna put it to use I will."

"She doesn't have it." Mark replied after a few seconds of akward silence. "She spend it on something else.." he went on obviously.

"Yeah, I um...gave it to this hobo. I was trying to get a taxi and I saw this hobo and I kept 20 bucks to eat and I gave the rest to him...I couldn't help it. I felt bad for him. I'm sorry." she answered, running up the stairs before she could be asked any more questions she couldn't answer.

For the rest of the night she stayed locked in her room, texting a certain someone who she should not ever be talking to. Everything was too easy to stop now. All her lies were perfected, she had gotten too good at lying. Covering reality was too easy, and not to mention that it made life so much more intersting.

The only problem was...she was in a little deeper than she was prepared to handle and she had no idea how to go forward.

[Addison]

The next day Alexia walked into the hospital, and slid gracefully into the on call room, on the first floor without being caught by her parents. She was lucky. She had been doing this for months now, She grew up in the hosptial, she knew how to make her way around the hospital without being suspected.

“Hey…” She said to Alex, as she walked into the on call room. Alex was laying on the bed, scrub top off, bottoms on, she sat down beside him. She didn’t know where to begin. Did she tell him about the abortion she was keeping a secret from everyone she knew? Did she tell him about how she tricked her mother into signing the abortion permission slip, telling her it was a slip for a school trip, knowing she wouldn’t actually read it?

She didn’t have time to think for long, he sat up, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her down ontop of him.

“Alex no.” Alexia said sitting back up. She blushed.

“Why…” He asked in a pouting tone. “What’s the matter, you scared?” He asked in a mocking playful tone. She hit him on the chest. Sitting on his abdomen.

“Of course not, it’s just, I have something else planned for you….” She said her voice sweet as honey.

“Oh yeah? And what might that be?”

“I guess you’ll have to let me go so you can find out now won’t you?” She asked. Laughture in her eyes as she realized he was getting turned on by the tone of her voice.

[cutebutboring]

She got okay the bed and shed the baggy jeans which acted as the perfect facade to innocence. She was left standing there is a lacey pair of black panties that left little to her imagination. She turned around, showing him her bare ass, thanking god for tampons and the fact that they hid her situation perfectly.

Next she pulled her shirt over her head, revealing a skimpy bra that she had obviously paid too much for. She slowly climbed back on the bed and began kissing his neck, slowing making her way down while her hands began to work on the drawstrings of his scrub pants.

The door opened, letting a little light shine into the room. Two white coat covered bodies where pushed in and the door shut. Both couples to busy to notice the other. The white coats fell to the floor, pants where shed and Mark pulled on Addison's shut, undoing all the buttons. He pulled it off without pulling away from her. He didn't pull away until it was time to take off his own shirt. At that second he opened his eyes and realized they were alone.

"Oh my god." he gasped, sounding like he just saw a cow being run over by a 18 wheeler. "I think I just threw up a little bit."

Addison turned around, giving a reaction similar to Mark's. She covered her chest with her arm and grabbed Mark's shirt to take over the task. She release a breath and stared in disbelief and silence.

"I need to wake up...I need to wake up from this very sick and twisted horny dream right now." Mark whispered, slapping himself to wake. Obviously, he wasn't asleep. And then came the groanish scream of "Oh. MY. GOD."

[Addison]

“What in the HELL do you think your doing?!” Addison asked finding her own voice, before her husband or their daughter could find their own. She grabbed her own clothing and began putting it back on while throwing the other clothing to their perspective owners, she took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

“At FIFTEEN ALEXIA! DID I NOT TEACH YOU ANY BETTER THAN THIS?!?” She asked, apparently her calm loving motherlyness not shining through. “ DID I NOT TEACH YOU ANY BETTER THAN TO SLEEP WITH SOMEONE TWO TIMES YOUR OWN AGE!” She asked she moved to hear daughter who seemed frozen beside Karev, who was pulling his own clothing on, and moved to leave the room, Mark grabbed him and threw him against the bed causing him to hit the ground.

“Think your going to just RAPE My daughter and leave?!” He asked restraining Karev up against the wall. Alexis ran to her father, she had put on Alex’s white lab coat to cover herself up and ran to her father hitting him.

“Daddy no!” She screamed, her mother pulled her back, holding her. “It wasn’t rape! Daddy it wasn’t rape it was consentuial! DADDY DON’T DO THIS!” She screamed, as she fought against Addison, trying to get her to let go, trying to get to her lover.

“This is not right Alexia, I don’t care what you think your feeling it’s not right. He took advantage of you. Your young and nieve and he took advantage of that.” She tried to explain…..But Alexia continued to fight against her.


“Alex tell them! Tell them Alex!”

Alex looked to Addison and then to Alexia

“She seduced me, just like you did. “ He said his voice mocking. “The only diffrence is that I love her. I never loved you.”

[cutebutboring]

Mark shook his head, remembering the facts he had tried so hard to drown out from the worst month of his life. The month that he and Addison had split, with intentions of getting a divorce. They both had rebound sex, except Mark had the deceny to do it with a stranger. Addison on the other had chose to do it with one of the med students she was training. Alex Karev. Mark didn't find out until he became an intern and he was willing to move past it. He had drowned it all away.

"I should have killed you all those years ago. I should have louged a fucking bullet in your skull when I wanted to. I should have let Addison talk me out of it. I shouldn't have been rational and this would never have happened!" he roared. "You're barely 15! She's 15! She's not even allowed to drive yet! She can't pee with out my permission and you went and fucked her!"

"Daddy...it's not 'fucking' I swear. We're in love. I know I'm young but I love him. Age doesn't matter."

"Shut up or I'll you too." he threatened, obviously not thinking staight. He threw clothes at his daughter and pushed her into a bathroom. "Get dressed and when we get home I suggest you start packing for boarding school. Because there is no way in hell I'm letting this go on any longer. And I've been a horny idiot...hell I'm still a horny idiot. My penis does my thinking, not my mind. I know how horny people think and I will never be able to keep you from fucking. So you're going far away...far far away. Or we're taking to this to court. I'll let you two choose, being as you are so in love I'm sure you'll easily agree on something."

"Is that really nessacary?" Alex asked. Locating over at Alex. "I heard you two go together when you were in high school. What's the difference here?"

"I was not 29 and she was not 15! We were the same age!" Mark screamed. "This is illegal, you get that right? Illegal. As in prison and jump suits illegal. It will be the most painful experience of your life. I will make sure your balls get cut off. So think about it."

"Please don't do this, Dad." Alexia begged, ready to get down on her knees.

"Shut up! Don't tell me what to do. You do what I tell you." he blared. She had tears in her eyes and on any other occasion that would be enough to get him to back down. Usually at the site of years he'd apologize and buy her something so she would forgive him but this time that wasn't going to happen. This time she was only at that brim of everything that was yet to come.

[Addison]

Alexia sank down to the floor of the bathroom, her father had thrown her back pack at her in the process, which held a short skirt and a shirt. She put her short skirt on , and reached into her purse, looking into the mirror at her tear stained face she pulled out a bottle of anti depresants she had stolen from her mothers bathroom, and asprin. She poured out a handful of anti depressants and swallowed them two at a time, she then repeted the process with the asprin. This would teach them. This would teach her parents to interfere in her love life, and try and ruin her life. She began to feel dizzy, but she ignored her feelings and ran, angrly out of the on call room, ignoring her parents screams for her to return.

She got as far as the end of the hallway before she was starting to swerve, she could feel the blood seeping down her legs, If she could just get to the bathroom, if only. Unfortunally for her she never made it that far. She turned the corner, into an abandoned hallway, and unable to make it any further collapsed onto the floor, blood seeping onto the floor beneath her.

Finally she had gotten peace.

[cutebutboring]

Mark was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. Alex has taken the oppertunity to run as fast as he could to get as far as he could. Addison remained standing still in front of her husband, her arms crossed while she looked down at him.

"If I had known that being a parents was this hard...if I knew what a pain the ass having a teenage daughter is, I would have used a condom." he informed, looking up into her eyes while he stated his thoughts. "I mean... what the fuck, Addison?! Where do they get off fucking each other? I mean we're right here! They knew we were in the hospital. They knew we could walk in on them. They know we're sex addicts and do it when we can, where we can. It's like they were asking to get caught."

"Mark. If they are in love like they say they are than I doubt anything matters to them." Addison replied rationally.

"No! Stop being rational. Stop looking for excuses to bail their asses out of this. No fucking way they are getting out of this. I will tear those two apart. Alex can be in jail or Alexia can be in Sweden. I don't care which but one is happening." he yelled. "Why did we name her Alexia. They have the same name! It's creepy. It's nasty. I swear I'm gonna throw up."

Addison rolled her eyes, reaching for her cell phone when she felt it vibrate in the pocket of her lab coat. She took it out and help it to her ear. "Yeah?" she answered unproffestionally without even caring. "Mhmm, thanks. I'll be right there." she hung up, looking blankly at Mark.

"Patient?" he asked.

"No..well not really. It's Alexia. She's in the ER." she answered.

[Addison]

+Addison and Mark ran to the emergency room as quick as they could. When they got to the ER what they saw was worse than the scene they have previously seen. Their daughter, their fifteen year old little girl laying incautious on the gurney, doctors pressing all kinds of medications possible in her.

“What the hell happened?!” Addison asked irrationally. Not taking into account that she wasn’t going to be able to treat Alexia, that they wouldn’t lett her near her.

“Dr. Sloan We need you to step back, your daughter is suffering from an overdose, she also is bleeding out from a botched abortion. We have given her medicine to rid her stomach of whatever she overdosed on, and an IV with medication to stop the bleeding. But we won’t know the extent of the damage until we get the bleeding controlled.” The nurse exclaimed at Addison.

“An abortion! What?!?” Addison exclaimed, all of the possiblities streaming in her head.

“She’ll need surgery. If it turley is a botched abortion she’ll need surgery to stop the bleeding or she’ll die.” She said trying to force herself to remain calm.

“If we don’t get the drugs out of her she’ll die anyway.” The nurse said looking up at the frantic parents.

[cutebutboring]

Mark pulled Addison away, forcing her into a waiting room with him. He sat down next to her, holding her as close as possible. He wasn't sure if he was doing it for himself or for her. It was a sense of reassurance that they both needed.

He couldn't help but stare at her. She was sitting beside him bitting her lower lip nervously. It was her nervous habit and he had noticed it before they ever got married. "She's gonna be okay, Ads. She has to be okay. She's 15, she can't die." he explained, although it was unrealistic. 15 year olds died all the time.

She looked at him for a second before casting her glance back down at the floor. She needed to think about something else but there was nothing else to think about. "Addison, if it's killing you than get up and do something about it. You're the head of ob/gyn. She's got a botched abortion. It's your department. You could pass any new rule you need to. If you wanna stand there and watch you can. If you wanna treat her...you can do that too. Or you could try to calm down and sit here with me and wait without trying to pull Matilda like magic on the ground."

Addison didn't move, didn't look away from the stop that claimed her attention. "So you're just gonna sit there?" he asked.

[Addison]

“I can’t move, I can’t….I can’t think I can’t breathe.” Addison exclaimed, for the first time the tears fell from her face, as she leaned against her husband. She got up then, and started pacing the room.

“How could she have done this? How could she have gotten an abortion and we never know it? How could she have been pregnant and we have been so in attentive that we not know?” She threw her hands in the air. Her breathing was rapid and she tried to force herself to remain calm.

“I need time, I need more time to think, to force myself to breathe, to not feel like I forced her into this. The pills she took were mine, she took them from the bathroom. Would she have done this if we didn’t freak out about her and Alex?” She exclaimed. The tears were still falling from her face, she sank back down to the ground.

“Did she get the abortion to hide the evidence?” She asked Mark. “Was she so afraid of us that she thought risking her life was really better than having a baby?”

“You have no room to speek.” Mark reminded Addison gently.

“I was wrong, and I regret my choices every day.” She replied sinking to the ground. “Just because I made a mistake doesn’t mean that my daughter didn’t know better! I taughter her better! We raised her better!”

[cutebutboring]

"It's not about how we raised her Addison. And come on..let's be honest here. We aren't exactly up for Mother or Father of the Year. There is a reason for that. We do get a little preoccupied. I mean we try but...it's not enough. Maybe things would be different if we were different. Who knows? It's impossible to know." he replied.

"She's a teenager, I'm sure she had no idea what she was doing. She was probably terrified, Addison. She's a kid. She was pregnant, she did the first thing that came to mind. And the thing is...we're so blind that if this hadn't happened she would get away with it. So can we honeslty say she's the only one to blame?"

"Are you saying it's my fault?"

"No! I'm saying she's not the only one to blame here." Mark exclaimed. "I'm not sure what to tell you, babe. I can't say that I'm calm enough to calm you down. I don't know what to say to help you because there is nothing anyone could say to help me right now. I know this hard, I know what you're going through. She's my kid too, remember? So we're going to do something we have to do it together. Whatever decision we come to we have to be united."

Addison nodded in agreement, althought to be honest she had no idea what he was talking about. What agreement were they suppose to come to? She stood still in front of him for a second before sighing and returning to her task of pacing to the room. He got up and grabbed her to hodld her still.

"Stop moving." he begged. "I'm just as concerned as you are. And seeing you like this is making things worse for me. Try to stand still and tell me what you're thinking. Don't torture me anymore than I already am."

[Addison]

“She’ll need emergency surgery once she has all of the contestants of her stomach removed. She’ll have to have the bleeders stitched up and if it is bad enough she could possibly loose her ability to bear children. She’ll have to have a hysterectomany if the case is extreme enough, and even if it isn’t and she is still able to have children her increase of miscarriage is increased……” Addison rambled off about a hundred other complications that could or couldn’t arise.

She looked at Mark and he could see the tears fallin from her face. “If the contents of her stomach isn’t pumped, and she doesn’t get into surgery soon enough, she could bleed to death and die.” Addison whispered sinking down onto him. Which made it look like she was sitting on his lap, resting her head on her shoulder.

“I’m going to go.” She said standing up. “She needs me, and I think there could be hope. If we could somehow pump her stomach while I operate on her. I’ve never doen it before, but If I could get the bledding under control then there might be hope.” She said she knew she was rambling, but she couldn’t help it. This idea, this crazy Idea just might save their daughter’s life.
