Chapter One
"I kissed Rose."
He kissed Rose. Who the hell is this woman? Meredith ran off before she gave Derek an opportunity to explain himself. She couldn't believe this was happening. After all of the dark and twisty events of the last year…why this? Derek…who had told her when he had made a decision he made the wrong one. Derek…who wanted to marry her and have children with her but then decided waiting for Meredith wasn't a worthwhile investment.
Meredith ran and ran throughout the halls of Seattle Grace…just trying to find a place any place where she could just throw herself in and would be able to start to process what was happening to her.
Finally she found the supply closet, which not to long ago Addison was in crying about the demise of her marriage to Derek. Derek…Derek….Derek….Derek… She didn't know where he stood with him. Even if he still wants to have a relationship with her, would Meredith be able to trust that he would always be there.
There was a knock at the door. Meredith ignored it. The door opened, Christina stuck her head in the closet.
"You can stay in that closet in your dark and twisty McDreariness or you can finished your shift and go with me to Joe's and we can play whose life sucks the most…heck I will even let you win this time…"
"If you weren't my person…"
"But I am…Let's get to work."
Later in the Evening
Meredith and Christina are at the bar talking with Joe. Derek enters the bar fully intending to talk to Meredith but is stopped by Rose.
"Hello…Derek!"
"Rose…really it isn't a great time…"
"Well, it might not be a great time to talk. But it there is no time like the present for this."
Rose engages Derek into a kiss. The whole bar watches on including Meredith and Christina.
Meredith downs a shot and orders another one.
"One more for the road… Joe"
She quickly downs the shot and looks over to Christina.
"Seriously…We need to find a new bar!"
"Seriously..."
