Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy. If I did then Rose would have never happened and Meredith would stick up for her self.
I hope you guys enjoy this story.
Summary: Meredith finally sticks up for herself and starts putting her life back together. If Derek wants back into her life he will have to go through hell to get her back.
"Everyday life throws problems at you. You either suck it up or quit. But for me I can't quit because people put their life into my hands. So I got to suck it up and take it."
"Mer are you awake?" Izzie said pounding on the door. "Come on Mer. You need to get up or were going to be late for work."
"I'm up Izzie. I'll be down in 10," I said. I laid there wondering if Derek had a good time with the scrub nurse last night. How could he go from showing me our dream house to going out with the scrub nurse in the same day? And he say's I'm the one with problems.
"I knew the minute I showed you those plans you'd find some reason to walk away," Derek said.
"So what you call my bluff," I said.
"I did because I can't do this anymore. I can't do the fighting. The back and forth I can't. Are we together or are we not," Derek said.
"We were together. I was in love with you. You didn't tell me you were married," I said.
"Ok so now were gonna have this fight again," Derek said.
"You didn't tell me about your nurse. You wanna know why I'm not ready to build a house with you. This is why because I cannot trust you," I said.
"You can't trust anybody," Derek said. "And no matter what I do you'll always look for reasons to not trust me. I can't do it anymore. I can't."
"Well neither can I," I said.
He said that he will never leave me and he broke his promise. I was trying to figure out all of my problems and I told him we were going to take steps but no he thinks it's a marathon. I sigh and get out of bed. I put on my clothes and got ready for work. As I was headed down stairs I decided I wasn't going to go back to Dark and Twisty. I was going to be just me. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my coffee mug that Izzie already filled with coffee.
"Finally we can leave now," Alex said and we walked outside to my car. We climbed into my car.
"Why can't you guys drive your own selves to work," I said as I started the car. I drove out the drive way and headed to Seattle Grace.
"Because we don't Grey so get over it already," Alex said from the back seat. "Besides I left my car at Joe's bar last night."
We pulled into Seattle Grace and we piled out of the car. We rode the elevator up to the 3rd floor and walked into the locker room.
"Meredith why are you so happy. Didn't you and McDreamy breakup yesterday?" Christina said. The locker room went quiet and everyone was staring at me.
"You and McDreamy Mer. What happened?" Izzie asked.
"He kissed a nurse and worse of all he wasn't the one to tell me," I said changing into my scrubs. "George told me. He thought I knew. At least someone told me cause I by the looks of it Derek wasn't going to tell me anytime soon."
"Mer why aren't you all Dark and Twisty like you always are when you and McDreamy break up," Christina said.
"Because I've decided I'm not going to mope around. I'm just going to be me and enjoy my life," I said closing my locker.
"What the hell have you done to my person," Christina said. "Mer are you on drugs."
"Yang can't you just see she is happy," Alex said and everyone stared at him. "What I am human you know."
"I got to go I'm on Sloan's service today and I need to find my interns," I said and walked out of the locker room. As I was walking down the stairs I ran into Derek.
"Mer we need to talk," Derek said blocking me from walking down the stairs.
"Dr. Shepherd we have nothing to talk about. And its Dr. Grey to you," I said pushing him out of my way and continued down the stairs.
I walked into the intern's locker room and found my group of interns. "Thompson you're with Dr. Torres, O'Brian you're with Dr. Hahn, Canning you're in the pit today, and George you're with me today. Now move it people." And the interns left the locker room except George.
"Mer are you okay. I mean since you and Dr. Shepherd broke up," George said nervously.
"George I'm great. Why don't you go prep Mr. Clemson and scrub in for the surgery," I said to George and he left. And I thought to myself this is going to be one hell of a long day.
