When I'm Alone With You

Part 13

Izzie's POV
"Alex, George, come eat some breakfast we are going to be late for rounds" I yell up the stairs hoping they will finally get up.
"Good morning Izzie" George says as he walks into the kitchen grabbing a plate and some pancakes.
Alex comes into the kitchen next and doesn't say anything just sits at the table and eats.
"Are you ever in a good mood?" I inquire to Alex who hasn't said a word all morning.
"Are you ever no in a good mood?" He fires back ignoring my questions, not that I really expected an answer.
"Alright then hurry and eat guys we have to leave in 10 minutes if we want to be on time" I remind them again that they need to hurry up or we are all going to be late.
Finally George and Alex emerge from the kitchen to the foyer and are ready to go. We all grab our bags and head out the door. We are all talking and I'm not watching where I'm walking then I trip and fall right on my face. George comes to help me up and Alex is having a laughing fit. Then I see it what or should I say who tripped me.
"Meredith!?" I yell at her. She's laying on the porch. She's cold and there vomit around her. God she must have went to Joe's and not made it in the house. Alex checks her pulse after not seeing her moving much. Her breathing was slow.
"We should probably take her inside and maybe you can change her" Alex tells me.
"I'm not changing her let's just wake her up" I really don't want vomit all over my hands I get enough of it at work.
"Meredith!Meredith get up!" George try's to wake her.
"Meredith come on get up you're going to be late, although it seems like you are going to miss work, but we are going to be late" I say as I lightly shake her.
"What?" She croaks out.
"Meredith get up we need to get you inside, Why are you on the porch?" I ask her hoping she will be able to fill in the gaps.
Without a word she gets up and stumbles through the front door. Alex helps her up the stairs. I follow them and help her get cleaned up and into some new clothes. She's shaky, pale, cold, and seems to be breathing slowly still I think we have to get her to the hospital.
"Mer I think you should go to the hospital and get checked out" I suggest gently knowing she wouldn't want to.
"No I think I'll just sleep it off" she slurs out slowly.
"No Mer I think you have to go I can smell the alcohol on you, you probably have alcohol poisoning, you're pale, slurring you words, breathing slow, and you're cold, should I go on, come on Mer you're a doctor you should know better" I continue to try and convince her.
Alex has had enough of the back and forth and picks Meredith up and puts her in the car. We head to the hospital and she is admitted. Doctors run test on her and I take the day off to be with Mer. They conclude she has alcohol poisoning. In the hospital she will be carefully monitored until the alcohol has left her system. They put an IV in her which is pushing fluids. She's been unconscious since we got here. She woke up for around 5 minutes she was confused and mumbled out a few words nothing much. Then passes out again. Doctors ever so often come into the room to examine her and there's an intern monitoring the levels of alcohol in her blood. Alex and George came to check on her during the small break they had.

Derek's POV
I heard Mer was in the hospital so I went to her room to check on her. I wasn't sure what was wrong with her, but I figured I'd pop into her room to make sure she's ok. I mean after all we were drinking at Joe's last night maybe she tripped or something on her way into the house. That wouldn't explain why she was in the hospital though. I got to her room and seen Izzie was in there with her. Her stats were kinda low but not low enough to bring up any concerns.
"What's wrong with her?" I ask Izzie not seeing a chart anywhere that I could read.
"Alcohol poisoning" she says simply.
"They're pushing fluids?" I ask hoping they are getting the alcohol out of her system as quickly as they can.
"Yeah, we found her on the porch this morning" she explains.
"On the porch?" I ask confused why she hadn't been inside her house.
"Yup, probably wasn't able to get inside as intoxicated as she was"
I just nod and study her she's pale but she looks peaceful. Hopefully after this whole even she can tell us exactly what happened.

Meredith's POV
I slowly pry my eyes open my heads pounding. I'm in a hospital bed? What happened? Izzie's here. She's brings me water and ask what happened. I tell her I must have drank so much that I couldn't get inside. Then I get nervous. I remember the dream I had on the porch, not fully convinced it was a dream it felt so real. Finn?? Where was Finn? Did I just dream he was after me? Is he still in Boston? What about the bear and Derek? I have so many unanswered questions. The dream was so real it's unsettling. I usually don't even remember my dreams. Why do I remember this one? Slowly my brains concludes it was all a dream and that I'm fine besides the whole alcohol poisoning. I'm fine, or at least for now.
------------------------
Alright just to clear things up the whole kidnapping thing and bear attack was a dream. Mer does remember Finn though and how his mothers surgery was one of Ellis's only failed surgeries. Could the dream be a warning for Mer that Finn is finally come around searching for revenge on Ellis?? 🤷‍♀️
Anyway love y'all, stay safe.
