I do not own any part of Grey's Anatomy. That would be Shonda.
So this is just something a little different. Derek and Meredith are dating and they are both living in Boston and in highschool. Meredith is going to be a sophomore and Derek's going to be a Senior.
4 girls and 1 boy were scattered around the living room of Collin and Anna Shepherd. The three oldest girls were sitting on the black leather couch according to age, a habit they formed when they were little, although they never actually meant to do it. Jamie – 26; was devouring a hunk of chocolate and had one hand gently rubbing her very pregnant stomach, Holly – 23; had her head back with her eyes closed, trying to recover from last nights festivities, Erika – 22 was sitting with her legs crossed at the ankles, reading the paper. To her left, Derek – 18 was sprawled out on a matching love seat with his arm over his head, waiting for his parents to drop whatever they had to tell them all, so he could go out. Across the room from him, Avery – 13 was sitting on the floor with her back against the wall, flipping through a Seventeen magazine. None of them knew what was so important that they all had to be there, but their parents were still in the kitchen talking quietly, and everyone was becoming restless.
"Mom, Dad! Seriously, come oooon." Avery was the first to speak up as she flopped her magazine beside her.
"What do you have that's so important? Gonna miss an episode of Sesame Street?" Derek said annoyed as he lifted his arm off his face and sat up.
"Don't even act like you don't want to leave and go see Meeeredith so you can suck her face. And plus, Sesame Street is on at 4."
Derek raised his eyebrows at her and smirked, " ha, so you do watch Sesame Street. You have no life, honetly, you know what I was doing when I was your age? Well I'll tell you, not sitting at home on a Friday night."
"I hate you! I do have a life! Just because I'm not out getting totally hammered every weekend doesn't' mean I don't have a life!" Avery yelled.
" ugh.. SHUT UP!" Holly yelled from the couch with her head still leant back and her eyes still glued shut.
"You have no idea how glad I am that I don't live here anymore." Erika said in her normal hoity toity voice.
"Oh why don't you just go shove a cucumber in your mouth and see how glad you are then." Avery said from the wall, and the rest all laughed as Erika rolled her eyes and let out a huff.
"I hope my kids aren't like us." Jamie said with a smile on her face as her parents walked into the living room. "k, so what do you have to tell us?"
"Kids, this will only actually affect Derek and Avery, because they're the only two that technically still live with us, but girls, I um, I got a new job." Collin spoke in a quiet voice that the kids had only heard a few times before. When he used this voice, nothing good was to come.
Erika was instantly interested, she was the proper, business like, do-gooder family member and the rest found it extremely annoying. "Well Dad that's fantastic, that boss of yours was an asshole anyways and hardly knew what he was actually doing."
"Erika, let your father finish." Anna said with tears in her eyes.
" I ahh, guys I got transferred to New York, we're moving in a week..i know its short notice but, it's better pay, and I'm actually really excited to start with this new area in my career." Their father looked around the room for everyone's reactions. Jamie and Holly looked shocked, but Jamie was already married, and Holly was engaged, so the move didn't really affect them much. Erika looked unaffected and actually happy for her father, while Avery had tears streaming down her face and instantly got up and ran to her room with Anna chasing after her. Derek, who he figured it would be hardest on with him starting his senior year and would probably eventually break up with Meredith, turned pale and had his hands in his lap.
" I ahh, I have to go get some of our things straightened out, your Aunt Carly is going to watch the house until it gets sold, and you know, I'm really sorry about this, especially to you Derek. I know this is going to be hard, but you can still come back, its only about a 4 ½ hour drive, I.." Collin was cut off by Derek getting off the couch.
"Yea Dad, I know, don't worry about it.." Derek trailed off and walked to his room without shedding a tear. All he wanted right now was Meredith in his arms.
Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home
For now you're not here and I'm not there, it's like we're on our own
To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand
Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land
This is going to break me clean in two
This is going to bring me close to you
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down
I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around
When it falls in place with you and I, we go from if to when
Your side and mine are both behind it's indication
This is going to bring me clarity
This'll take the heart right out of me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
This is going to bring me to my knees
I just want to hold you close to me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
SHE IS - THE FRAY
