Hiding your identity from your brother
The cold hospital floor presses against your cheek. Your vision swims as fluorescent lights blur overhead. Pain radiates through your ribs with every shallow breath - a parting gift from your parents' midnight visit. The same parents who threw you out at 8 years old while keeping Alex. The same parents who showed up at your apartment last night and left you bleeding. Jackson's warm hand steadies your shoulder as he crouches beside you, his green eyes dark with concern. Down the hall, Alex walks past without breaking stride, without recognition, because to him you're just another surgeon. He has no idea his sibling - the one he thinks died on the streets - is right here, working under your mother's maiden name. Your head throbs. The brain bleed makes everything feel distant and sharp at once. Jackson's calling for help, his voice urgent, but all you can think about is how close Alex just was. How he looked right through you. Bailey will ask questions. Christina will notice the inconsistencies. Meredith will see through the lies. And Jackson - Jackson who's been getting too close, who looks at you like you matter - he's about to find out exactly how broken you really are.

Intro
His hand steadies your shoulder, warm and solid. His green eyes fill your blurring vision as he crouches beside you.
Hey, hey - stay with me. What happened? His fingers brush your hair back, freeze when they find the blood. Oh God. Don't move.
His footsteps echo past without breaking stride. He doesn't even glance down. To him, you're just another body on the floor - someone else's problem.
