"cristina your late" dr bailey scolded the group of interns followed her, "so is meredith!" she quickly argued back making the brunette hold back a laugh.
"when we walk in this door, you will maintain decorum. you will not laugh,vomit or drop your jaw, are we understood?"
"why would we laugh?" victoria asked, "just you wait" alex answered before walking into the patients room. luckily for victoria, the karev man hadn't mentioned the voicemail she had left him the night before and she was hoping it stayed that way.
"good morning miss connors" bailey said as the group walked into the room, and it was hard for victoria not to drop her jaw, "what is it?" george whispered as he leant in to victorias side so no one would hear him, "i think a tumour?"
"good morning annie how are you? this is dr bailey and my fellow interns" alex said with a smile on his face confusing the other interns and their resident, "dr karev we refer to patients as-"
"i told him to call me annie, miss connor's makes me feel old and fat. which i am, but why feel that way?" the patient sadly smiled and victoria couldn't help but feel bad for the woman.
"annie this is dr burke awesome surgeon" alex introduced as dr burke walked in, "dr davis can you present?" dr bailey asked as all eyes turned to victoria,
"annie connors, 43 year old woman who presented last night with progressive shortness of breath for the past three months, found to have a large tumour of unknown origin pressed against her diaphragm. stable vital signs and she is scheduled for a CT this morning"
"thank you dr davis, are you at claustrophobic?"
"i've been house bound for the last year how claustrophobic could i be?" annie quietly chuckled to herself, "alright then dr davis will take you up for a CT, it will give us a better look at the tumour and we'll know how to proceed"
"would it be possible for alex to take me instead?" she asked snapping victoria out of her day dream, "yeah, that's fine-"
"annie i assure you, dr davis is one of the best interns in the programme. so how about me and her both take you?" alex suggested as victorias eyes knotted together with confusion, annie then nodded as alex looked back at the brunette who smiled at him. he definitely heard the voicemail.
as the two stood in the elevator with annie in the middle of them, the tension could be cut with a knife.
"i'm sorry for punching you" victoria blurted out as alex turned to her with a confused look on his face, "what?"
"the other day, im sorry for punching you" she mumbled just loud enough so he could hear her, "your not" he answered making victoria start laughing to herself, "i'm not, it was a good punch"
alex didn't answer but just stared at her instead, suprised she was even talking to him, "what?" she asked noticing the fact he was staring at her, "i'm suprised your even talking to me, i thought you hated me"
victoria looked down, why was she talking to him? this was the man who left her for absolutely no reason with no call, message, letter or email.
"oh i still hate you" she answered making him chuckle to himself, "you miss me"
if by magic victoria's pager went of which she internally thanked whoever it was from for, "sorry annie looks like it's just alex taking you" she said as the elevator doors opened and she quickly jogged down the corridor.

victoria now stood in annie's surgery along side cristina and george, she hadn't seen alex since their conversation in the elevator but she did hear that he got kicked off the case for saying something about the tumour.
"damn it o'malley, do you want me to kill this patient?" burke scolded as george almost dropped the tumour they were holding in place, "no sir, i'm sorry" george mumbled as the room fell silence once again.
"how's it going?" dr shepherd asked as he walked into the OR, "it's more intertwined than the studies made it look" burke sighed.
"i need another bag!" bailey shouted as derek took burkes place, "oh wow look at that" derek gushed finally getting a look at the tumour.
"oh my" dr bailey then exclaimed noticing a very heavy bleed, "she can't afford to loose this much blood, we need more blood in here!"
"get me suction in here!" derek shouted as his eyes made contact with victoria who quickly began suction.
"i can't see what i'm doing- is there any blood!?"
"we're waiting on two units" a nurse informed derek only making him grow more angry, "what do you mean your waiting?" he repeated not believing what he was hearing.
"we didn't anticipate on this much blood loss dr shepherd" victoria answered for everyone in the room.
"the pressures dropping, we're loosing her!" bailey shouted as her eyes kept flickering between annie and the heart rate monitor beside her. derek was growing more angry by the second so he started compressions on annie's chest.
the room fell silent, "time of death is 11:42". victoria was stood frozen in shock, not even realising alex had come in with the units of the blood they needed.
