So this is my first story, hopefully it turns out okay! Enjoy!
"Sofia! Let's go!" yelled Mark. Wow, He thought to himself, shes growing up so fast. Sofia will be 15 next month. Its been almost 13 years since...
"I"m coming! Jeesh!" Sofia yelled. She came running down the steps with all of her stuff in tow for school.
"Meredith is gonna pick you up after school, don't forget. I'm on call tonight, and so are your moms, so your gonna stay at Zola's tonight." Mark reminded her.
Whenever Mark, Callie, and Arizona were all on call, Meredith and Derek would take Sofia, and whenever Meredith ad Derek were both on call, they would take Zola. The girls loved it. seeing that they were best friends. Of course, derek and mark were ecstatic that there daughters were friends.
'Yes, i know, weve been doing this for 15 years!" They drove up to her school, and Sofia got out and spotted Zola, and this other girl, that Mark didn't recognize as one of her friends, but she looked somewhat familiar anyway. He shrugged off the thought, but for the rest of the day all he could think about was why the girl looked familiar. Later on at lunch, Callie started questioning him.
"Seriously Mark, you havent said anything all day except for 'yes' 'no' and 'take her up to CT'. Whats up?" Callie looked at him curiously, as did everyone else sitting with him. Derek, Meredith, Arizona,Jackson, and April.
"Nothing, just tired. Why does something always have to be wrong? Its nothing." With that he got up and walked away. It really wasn't nothing though. He couldnt get those eyes out of his head from this morning. He knew those eyes. Those eyes were the ones he thought he would spend the rest of his life looking at. But then, there was the crash...
After he left, he didn't know what to do. Why was this driving him crazy? It was just one of Sofia's friends. He went into his office (he was now the chief of surgery) to just chill, and forget about the weirdness of today.
Meredith was at home, making dinner, while Derek went to go get the girls from practice. They both ran track, which because they lived in the city, was really running on sidewalks. Or, next to the water.
"Hey, were home!"
"Hey! How was your day?" She turned around, and saw a third girl with them. She dropped the plate that she was holding. "Oh, Dammit! Sorry, just ummm...Who's this?"
"Hi, I'm Ellie." The girl looked at Meredith curiously, because of how she was acting. It looked as if she had just seen a ghost.
"Well Ellie, as I'm sure the girls and Derek told you, you are welcome to stay for dinner. And, the night if you wishh. I'm Meredith by the way." Meredith composed herself, and put on a smile. She then looked at Derek, who had a worried look on his face. Little did she know that he had reacted in a similar way when he first met Ellie.
"I'd love to, but I can only stay for dinner. I need to get home to my mother after that. But thank you, anyways." The girls went off the Zola's room, while Derek went over to help meredith pick up the pieces of shattered glass.
"Derek, before you talk, I know. I know I'm probably overreacting, but..." They stood up, and Derek held her in his comforting arms as meredith starting tearing up.
"She looks like her. I know. I thought the same thing" he confided. Meredith looked up at him surprised.
"You,you did?"
"Yes, I did. Her big brown eyes, her hair, even her smile."
"Why? I-I mmm-ean s-she died." At this point, Meredith was a wreck, sobbing in Der's arms.
"Its probably just a coincidence...and its nearing the time of year it happened, were probably just being over sensitive to these things. Let's stop looking at her like this, and just think of her as Zola and Sofia's friend. And, it would probably be a good idea not to tell Mark."
"Okay."
Meanwhile, the girls were comparing boys, flipping through magazines, and just talking.
"So, Ellie, where did you come from?" Zola asked.
"Well, I moved here from Boston, but honestly, before that, I'm not sure!"
"What do you mean?" Sofia questioned.
"Well, when my mom was pregnant with me, she got in an accident, and didn't remember anything about it. We don't really talk about it much."
"Really? Well, if it makes you feel any better, my moms got in an accident with me when my mom was pregnant with me. She crashed through a windshield."
"Seriously? I'm sorry. I'm not sure what kind of accident my mom got in."
"And, I was adopted as a baby, as you can tell, and had spina Bifada. So your not alone with tricky situations!" Zola piped up.
"Thanks guys, that really helps." Ellie smiled at them.
They continued to chat and everything until Meredith called them for dinner.
After dinner, Ellie started to get ready to leave.
"Thank you so much Meredith and Derek. I had a great time. It was nice to get out!"
"No Problem! Come over whenever you want! Maybe your parents can come over sometime!" Meredith smiled, as Derek gave her a look. But Meredith desperately wanted to meet this girls parents. She just looked too much like...
"Well, I'm sure my mom would love to come over. I don't even know my dad so..." she looked down at the floor.
"Oh, well, thats okay! Derek will bring you home."
"Okay, Thanks again Meredith! Bye!" She said as she went out the door with Derek.
As the door closed, Zola and Sofia looked at Meredith.
"Meredith. She looks like-"
"Yes, I know." Meredith said as she cut her off.
Hope you liked it! Kinda a cliffhanger...But I'm sure you all know who she looks like. Keep Reading! I'll post another chapter soon. :-)
