"YOU KNOW, i couldn't ask him about when he was gonna schedule my intern test with all the you know what hitting the fan. i mean, for all i know, he's gonna spring it on to me, what, like, in an hour, two hours?" george rambled to jordyn and lexie in the intern locker room. the news of the hospital not only being the twelfth best in seattle, but instead being now a trauma two center was hitting everyone pretty hard.

"and you'll be ready" lexie agreed, flash cards in hand.

"because you have the best and hottest teachers ever" jordyn smiled playfully kissing him on the cheek.

"causes of hypotension" lexie challenged, allowing jordyn to come over towards behind her shoulder to see the answer.

"uh, hypovolemia, MI, cardiac dysrhythmia...uh, hypoxia. yeah, is that good" george asked as lexie was pulling away a jordyn that was attempting to smell george's back. the sight was making her gag. "yeah? what?" george said turning around, calming the chaos from behind him.

"the snow, it...it's-it's so pretty. it's like a fairy tale" lexie over-exaggerated, extending her arms.

"i've seen better" jordyn mumbled leaning against a locker.

"lexie...it's-it's the fall. that's not so much a fairy tale as, uh, it is global warming. that's the apocalypse. that's like-well, it's like dropping to number twelve and me failing my intern test for the second time" george declared walking away from the two girls.

"jor. i love you. really. but pretty please stop with this weird thing with george. it's freaking me out" lexie reasoned, walking the opposite way of her and george.

"hey, i just wanted to apologize for me ditching you for alex last night. he was just in a really shitty place and he needed a friend" jordyn reasoned walking beside george.

"you sure you were just being friendly?" george asked, looking obviously worried. or maybe even jealous. jordyn couldn't exactly tell.

"yeah, i promise. alex is just a really close friend. i pinky promise" jordyn smiled leaving her pinky out for george to link. george sighed and eventually linked his own pinky with her's. "and what are we then?" jordyn asked him making george chuckle at his mannerism.

"are we truly prepared for the title of boy friend and girl friend" george mocked jordyn's innocent like talk.

"yeah. we are " jordyn smiled, quickly pecking his lips and walking away from him. she couldn't help but mouth the words oh, my god. jordyn long was no longer a single woman.

——

"oh, hey, uh, sorry we're late. we were just helping-"

"no talking unless it's medical" cristina interrupted lexie's weak apology leading to jordyn shrugging her shoulders at the helpless sight of her person attempting to please her half-sister's person.

"so i keep having that dream, the derek-is-dead dream" meredith informed cristina as lexie and jordyn stood silently behind them.

"you know who does their residencies at number twelve hospitals? losers, and i am not a loser. go get the charts" cristina waved off her interns. jordyn couldn't help though but eavesdrop into the two residents conversation while doing so, though.

"so, i mean, the dream is about me being afraid of the house of candles, and, you know, taking the big step and...i'm afraid of having a happy ending" meredith realized.

"i have a phd in biochem. i'm a double doctor. double doctors should not do their residencies at second-rate hospitals" cristina added on.

"wyatt says i should just lean into the wind, into the fear, so i'm just gonna ask derek to move in with me" meredith said as she and cristina started walking again, with their interns falling behind them.

"i could transfer. cleveland clinic has a huge cardio program" cristina suggested.

"we're still in the top twenty. that's pretty good" meredith corrected cristina.

"pretty good is not enough. i want to be great. greatness, meredith" cristina informed her good friend.

"is this what they're always talk about?" jordyn whispered over to lexie.

"seems it" lexie whispered back, pulling a strand of her hair over her ear.

"greatness, which is why i'm going to ask derek to movie in with me. it's just that it's, you know, it's a big step, and i don't want to mess it up again. i've messed it up before-the breakups and the on and off again and the sleeping with george it's just-"

"you slept with george?" jordyn interrupted meredith not even remembering who or where she was. the looks of complete annoyance from cristina and meredith were all she needed to see though. "no talking unless it's medical"

"so i'm just gonna do it. i'm just gonna ask him to move in with me. you think it's the right thing, right?" meredith asked cristina. all of a sudden multiple pagers including jordyn's started to vibrate all at once.

"uh, oh, bailey's paging" cristina said leaving for meredith to go the opposite way of the group.

"um, uh, so medically, um, meredith and george had sexual intercourse? uh, when and how-how many times?" jordyn attempted to ask cristina who only gave her a deadly glare in return.

"nice try" lexie whispered to her leaving a comforting pat on the back as the two continued to follow cristina.

——

"hey, george. hey" jordyn rushed up to beside george with lexie trailing behind her.

"hi" george said rather short while continuing his walking pace.

"i-i mean we heard a thing" jordyn said worriedly.

"yeah?" he asked her almost mockingly.

"a surprising thing, a very unexpected, non medical thing about you and-"

"oh, hold on. uh, doctor sloan, hi. sarabeth briar has got a facial lac, but she will only let you touch her" george said stopping infront of mark sloan, who was standing beside erica hahn and miranda bailey.

"you paged me for a cut? what kind of moron are you o'malley? are you a special moron from the isle of complete and utter morons?" mark questioned him, earning glances from all four women that surrounded them.

"i don't think so" george admitted.

"shut up. truth and wisdom" mark smiled towards erica before leaving the area next to the front desk.

"he's an ass" lexie realized.

"you're just noticing" jordyn smirked towards lexie before giving up on her interrogation and going the other way.

——

jordyn was strolling the seattle grace hospital hallways alone, when she couldn't help but see the sight of alex karev and izzie stevens obviously flirting with each other while one of izzie's patients was getting a head ct. jordyn smiled to herself at the sight. alex looked more happy then she'd seen him since rebecca left. but yet a small bit of jealousy grew in her stomach. and she couldn't exactly tell why. she was with george now. she was happy with george. right?

"dude, you were staring at us" alex interrupted jordyn's thought process, with jordyn lightly biting his gums.

"i was just overjoyed that you were flirting with izzie" jordyn smirked, the two beginning to walk side by side in the hospital hallway.

"i wasn't flirting" alex corrected her in a confused tone.

"sure you weren't" jordyn said with a casual wink while turning the corner away from alex.

"i wasn't!" alex shouted at her, leaving jordyn to giggle to herself. what she didn't expect was to bump right into meredith grey.

"i have a question for you" meredith told her.

"and i have an answer for you" jordyn charmed, casually leaning against the hallway wall.

"you're close to alex, right?" meredith asked.

"i mean, i guess" jordyn shrugged.

"so do you think he has a soft side?" meredith continued pressing questions. jordyn had no idea why she was asking exactly her questions about alex, but it intrigued her.

"maybe if you were actually close to him you would know that answer" jordyn finger gunned at meredith before moving around meredith. as she continued to walk farther away from meredith, jordyn couldn't help but debate with herself. why was she protecting alex? what the hell was she doing to herself?

——

"there's a problem with the insurance" a patient named sarabeth stood over her husband named michael. george, jordyn, and lexie stood beside him prepping him for mark sloan.

"as we explained, he can't talk right now" george attempted to tell the wife, but it was rather obvious that she didn't care about what george had to say to her.

"i know, but, michael, i-i called them and the credit card company, and-and they said that...the cards have been cancelled so i...i don't understand. i...i just need to know what to do. i don't know what to do" sarabeth ranted, her voice sounding hurt.

"i'm sorry. i'm-i'm really sorry, but we need to get him to doctor sloan now" lexie told sarabeth as michael was obviously ready to be mounted.

"we swear he'll get the best care" jordyn smiled reassuringly as they began to push the gurney out of the trauma room.

——

"it's stuck. i can't seem to get down the left bronchus" george thought aloud as he was having difficulties doing a procedure.

"y-you almost got it, george" lexie supported him, earning herself a quick glance from jordyn. why was she so insecure she'd about everything happening around her?

"what are you, his little cheerleader. step aside, wonder boy, before you make things worse. o'malley, go find out if the OR is ready...if you can manage that" mark told george as he rushed out of the patients room, leaving the room empty with only jordyn, lexie, and mark inside.

"you're a little mean to george" lexie told mark off.

"un-necessarily mean" jordyn mumbled, not wishing to receive the same punishment from mark sloan as lexie was about to get for sticking up for george. wait, why is she the one sticking up for george?

"and he's studying to retake his intern test, so he's a little stressed out, so i was just thinking maybe you could be nicer. and jordyn agrees, right?" lexie said trying to get support from her friend in a time of need like this.

"all you lex" jordyn said giving mark a please don't yell at me glance.

"you're an intern. why are you talking to me? at least long over here has the respect to know when to shut her mouth. and i thought she was the one who talked more" mark scoffed at his own joke, making jordyn roll her eyes.

"y-well, you're my half-sister's boyfriend's best friend, so i..." lexie trailed off looking at her hands for comfort.

"you though that made us friends?" mark raised an eyebrow towards her. uh oh.

"i'm seriously thinking i should leave" jordyn shrugged pointing towards the door.

"long, if you leave you're off from my surgeries for a week" mark warned her, making her put her hand down towards her thigh. "doctor grey, did you really think that you'd defend your boyfriend to me, and i'd just take it?"

"he's not my boyfriend" lexie corrected him making jordyn bite her gums worriedly. did lexie still like george?

"but you want him to be" mark challenged making jordyn angrily tap her fingers against her thigh.

"i do not"

"do too"

"do not"

"do too. does he know?" mark questioned making jordyn finally realease her anger bomb.

"shut up!" jordyn shouted, letting out a relieved sigh afterward.

"i'm your attending. you can't tell me to shut up. you both want me to be nicer to o'malley?" mark asked towards the two ladies.

"please" both of them said unanimous once again.

"confess your love to him, and i'll think about it" mark shrugged.

"yeah lex maybe you should do that" jordyn egged on, not being able to let go of the fact that her best friend still had a crush on her boyfriend.

"shut up" lexie said once again, instead at both jordyn and mark, leaving him to surprisingly high five jordyn underneath the gurney.

——

"crap. his vocal cords are damaged beyond repair" mark realized, lifting them up with his tongs. jordyn currently stood assisting mark sloan in the OR.

"is there anything we can do?" lexie asked more towards george, her optimism showing.

"he probably won't talk again" george told her. jordyn stood awkwardly across from them.

"i think that question was for me" mark interrupted the two.

"sorry" george apologized, locking eyes with jordyn in the process.

"you think just 'cause you get to take your intern test again, that makes you big man on campus. doesn't change the fact that you failed it the first time" mark said, continuing his hurtful words from before.

"doctor sloan" lexie warned.

"i'm sorry, grey. was there something you wanted to say to anyone here?" mark asked her in a mocking tone.

"no there wasn't" lexie said slowly to try and dramatize her words towards mark.

"i really want to eat glass about now" jordyn mumbled, feeling a rather slow anxiety attack beginning to build from the bottom of her stomach.

"coward"

"shut up"

"lexie!" george interrupted her and mark's war of words. just then the monitor beside them began to beep erratically.

"pressure's dropping. we're losing him!"

——

"jordyn! jordyn wait!" lexie called after a very angry jordyn who was exiting the OR.

"you know what! everyone else in this damn hospital has treated you like trash, and i've been the only one generous enough to even try and be your friend. and the moment i think i might be happy with someone, you just have to try and ruin it" jordyn didn't even realized the fact that she was shouting, but she didn't really care at this exact moment. her anxiety attack was in full force.

"jordyn it's not like that" lexie attempted to ease her obviously flustered friend, but it was no use.

"really, then tell me what is" jordyn said depreately, only to be responded back by a silent lexie.

"yeah, that's what i thought" jordyn huffed storming away from lexie, who by now seemed to have given up on chasing jordyn. jordyn felt hot tears rolling down her cheeks, and her gums were practically bloody from chewing on them so hard. when jordyn finally found an on-call room and slammed the door behind her. she wasn't expecting alex karev to be sitting on a bed, looking at her in shock. but to say that jordyn was disappointed would be a complete lie.
