'Meredith!' that was the last thing she heard him say as she sped out of the parking lot. Meredith couldn't suppress the tears streaming down her cheeks as she thought about Derek. How could I have been so stupid, she thought bitterly, of course he'd choose her, she's his wife. Why did I have to say 'Pick me, choose me, love me' I'm such an idiot!...An idiot in love.

Meredith was too busy mentally beating her self up she didn't notice the red light. She turned at the last minute to see an SUV coming toward her.

Izzie, Christina and George were all ready to head home for a solid four hour sleep before they started their morning rounds just as Dr. Bailey paged all three of them.

"Uh! I just want to sleep." groaned Christina as she read her pager. "Why me? She's doing this to spite me you know."

"Then she obviously wants to spite all three of us 'cause George and I got paged to."

"This better be good." muttered George as they headed off to see what Bailey wanted to torture them with now.

"Where have you three been? I've been trying to get you for the last half hour!"

They all mumbled inaudibly at the same time.

"No time for excuses, there's a seven car pile up coming through, get to work."

"What about Meredith? Why hasn't she been called in?" asked Christina.

"I've been trying to get her too but she hasn't been responding. Yang, you're scrubbing in for Dr. Burk in OR 3, O'Malley..."

"Wait, did you say Burke? Can I have another patient?"

"No you may not. O'Malley, Stevens, you're in OR 1 scrubbing in for Dr. Shepherd, the male one." she added just in case. And with that she stormed off.

Izzie and George headed off to Dr. Shepherd while Christina went to Burke.

As Izzie and George got to OR 3 Alex stepped in front of them.

"Get out of the way Alex." George said as he tried push past him.

"Hold on a sec O'Malley, just listen to me before you head in there."

"No, 'cause I know what you're going to do, you're going tell us some bogus story and then steal our patient."

"George settle down. Alex what do want?" Izzie asked turning to Alex.

"I just want to warn you guys..."

"See!" yelled George cutting Alex off, "here he comes with the story, listen next time you want to steal one of our patients we'll let you know. Come on Izzie."

"Izzie..." yelled Alex but she'd already gone in.

"Oh my god." Gasped Izzie as she saw her friend stretched out on the gurney unconscious with blood all over her.

"Mer...Mer...is that who I th...think it is?" stuttered George.

"Alright, O'Malley, Stevens, what do we have here?" Dr Shepherd asked as entered the room not looking up.

"Um...patient has a GCS of 3, damage to the kidneys and a blow to the head causing a blood clot in the brain. Immediate surgery required." Izzie painfully explained.

"Let's have a look then shall we." Derek looked at the woman in front of him and immediately lost all sense of what was going on around him.
