The Changes In My Life
Disclaimer: I don't own anything…
A/N: Don't worry… I'm still writing my other fics too, I'm just a little stuck…
This is an AU… Before the internship, Meredith is still in Boston and she's moving back… (MerDer, as if I write anything else…)
It is from Derek's and Meredith's POV. This can be a little confusing because I want to let some things, in time, happen from both the POV's.
Chapter 1: Back Where I Was
Meredith's POV
And there I was standing, at the airport. Suitcases in my hand, looking at the airplane I should have been in. I sighed and let myself fall on the nearest chair.
The ironic thing was that I didn't even want to go to Seattle. It was a sign, I shouldn't go there. I should just stay in Boston and do my internship in some tiny general hospital. But of course I wanted to go to my internship in Seattle Grace Hospital, a huge and very cool hospital in Seattle, which used to be my home.
As I was deep in thoughts I heard a 'damn it' behind me, and someone slumped in the chair next to mine. "Missed your plane?" I asked coldly, I didn't even look to who I was talking to.
"Yeah, you too?"
"Yeah" I finally looked up to who I was talking to. It was a guy, hot… He had piercing blue eyes and curly black hair. He was smiling.
"Heading to Seattle?"
"Yeah, no Boston any more…" I answered with a sigh.
"I'm from New York, I just had a stop here, and there wasn't going a plane directly to Seattle when I needed it…"
"Yeah, that's Seattle."
"I guess…"
Suddenly I heard the announcer saying there was leaving a plane at another gate. Derek and I both left for that gate and we could finally enter the plane.
Derek managed to get a seat next to me and almost the entire flight we were talking. Somehow he never told me what he did, as a job. And I didn't tell my 'job' either. After a long flight we finally arrived in Seattle…
Derek's POV
I was happy when I finally left the airport, except for the beautiful girl I had to say goodbye to, hoping I would see her again…
I immediately got a rent car and drove to my hotel. And I just couldn't get the girl out of my head though. She was beautiful, but somehow I didn't dare to ask her phone number.
When I reached my hotel room I collapsed on the bed, happy to finally get a chance to sleep. I fell a sleep instantly, dreaming of the beautiful blond I had just met.
I woke up in the afternoon, I didn't have to work for another two weeks. So I had all the time to do whatever I want.
Slowly I pulled myself out of bed, I went to the kitchen to grab some breakfast. After breakfast, I showered and made myself ready to go out…
I was in Seattle so that means ferryboats. And I have a thing for ferryboats.
When I reached the harbour I went on the first ferryboat I saw. I leaned on the rail, looking out over the water, when suddenly I heard a voice behind me.
"Didn't expect to see you here…"
Meredith's POV
Luckily, I could get a cab home. Well, home, it was more like my mom's home. When I reached the house, I stood on the porch for a few minutes, just looking at my past…
Finally I decided to go in. I brought my suitcases upstairs and changed into my pyjama's. When I sat down on the couch downstairs, all I could feel was empty. When my internship started I really should get some roommates.
The next morning, I already started to feel better, I had this really good dream about the guy I just met, with the beautiful eyes and the curly hair.
I still had three weeks before my first day at the hospital and I decided I was going to spend it doing whatever I want to.
After I showered and got dressed, I went to the harbour and took a ferryboat ride.
I went on the first ferryboat I saw, and it was just leaving. I leaned against the rail when I spotted, at the other end of the bed, a guy with curly black hair leaning against the rail. 'Seriously?' I thought. I walked towards him and when I was standing close behind him, I spoke up.
"Didn't expect to see you here…" I said softly but full of emotion.
He turned. "Meredith"
"Derek" I responded with a smile.
He grinned. "I have a thing for ferryboats"
"Really?"
"Yes" He was still grinning.
"Then you must really love Seattle." I felt his eyes on me.
"One of the reasons I came here" He looked back over the water.
It was quiet for a few minutes, until I spoke up again. "So, where do you live?"
"In a hotel, close to here, you?'
"In my mother's house, I want to sell it though, if I can't get any roommates."
He smiled. "So Meredith, do you maybe, want to go have lunch with me some time?"
"I'd love to" I responded with the same smile he had asked.
"Maybe tomorrow, I can call you, if I had your number."
"Wow, that was very subtle"
"Yeah well, that isn't exactly my thing"
"But you can have my number"
Derek's POV
I was surprised that I saw Meredith that soon again, and finally I got the courage to ask for her phone number…
I was definitely going to call her, just something about her was so… Different and mysterious. She also was incredibly hot.
The next morning I called her around eleven. She picked up the phone as if I just woke her.
"Hello" She said groggily.
"Hey Meredith, it's Derek, did I wake you?"
"No, it's okay"
"Oh, okay. I wondered if you would like to get some lunch, say around one."
"Sure I'd love to" She said more awake.
"Then that's settled, how about that I see you at the harbour."
"Okay, see you"
"Okay, bye"
"Bye"
Meredith's POV
As soon as I hung up the phone, I jumped out of bed. Running to my closet to pick the clothes I should wear. It took me fifteen minutes to pick out a matching outfit and I ran to the bathroom. I took a long shower, washed my hair and made myself ready for the 'date'.
Around fifteen minutes for one I left the house, I arrived at the harbour five minutes later. I sat down on a bench mentally kicking myself for being fast. Suddenly somebody sat down next to me and I heard Derek's voice speak up.
"Good morning"
