A/N: Okay, guys. This was posted about three months ago. It's my baby, by first fanfic ever, and I really wanted to share it with you. And I know you're read about a thousand of these, but just bear with me. It's pretty good, I think. Reviews are love!
Summary: After the prom. This picks up where the finale left off. Meredith and Addison give Derek a piece of their minds.
Chapter 1: It Couldn't Have Gotten Any Worse
"Meredith?"
"Meredith?"
Meredith had thought that it couldn't have gotten worse. She'd found a man she'd loved and trusted. He was smart, funny, hot. Meredith mentally slapped herself. Stop! What are you thinking?
His wife showed up. Strike one. Meredith should have run then.
But she'd brought divorce papers. Good. Meredith could forgive Derek for that. After all, she cheated on him, and Meredith was his "breath of fresh air". Okay. Derek was wrong, but he was still her McDreamy, and this wife of his was going to leave. But he hesitated. That should have been the second warning. But no, she had to go lay her heart out on the table for a man that was holding an ax. Pick me, choose me, love me. God, why was she so stupid?
He picked her. Strike two.
She laid her heart out for him, and he smashed it to pieces. And Meredith took it. She got up. She tried to put her life back together, as much as it would go anyway. She missed him with all her heart, but she tried to move on. Mentally, she smiled, remembering how much her friends had helped her. Christina, Izzie, George, even Alex and Dr. Bailey.
George. She never should have done that. How broken could she have been? And she took George down with her. But it was okay now. He was with Callie, and they were all okay. Everything was getting back up to a shaky start. She found Finn. Derek and Addison were kind of her friends. Doc was...Doc. Meredith missed him. Poor thing. He didn't deserve any of this.
Prom. Why did she leave? Why did he follow her? Why did she let herself get into that exam room with him? Alone? At the freakin' prom, that wasn't even about them? She let him come close to her. Third warning. And as their lips touched, her promise to Addison flicked the back of her mind. God, why was she so stupid?
Because she loved him.
She lost it, like she knew she would. Strike three.
Meredith thought it couldn't have gotten any worse. But it had. She stood between two men. Finn, the safe man, who'd never done anything wrong to her, never hurt her. He had plans for them. Derek, who had hurt her over and over again, but she loved him. She loved him with all her heart. And suddenly, Meredith knew what she had to do.
She walked over to Finn. He was so confused. He never should have gotten into this.
"I don't deserve you. You don't want me, and I don't deserve your plans, any of them. Please don't stay. You'll only get hurt."
"Meredith..." he started.
"No," Meredith whispered, her voice cracking,"You don't want in on this. I'm trying to save you. Please leave before something happens that shouldn't." A little late for that, she thought, but he doesn't have to know that.
Finn looked at her eyes, big and blue, filled with tears, pleading. He nodded, and turned.
Meredith turned around and looked at Derek. His eyes were full of surprise and triumph. Now or never, she thought, am I strong enough for this? Yes, she answered herself.
Derek smiled, "Mer-"
"No!" shot out Meredith, surprised at the anger in her own voice. "No! How DARE you do this to me? You want to break me some more? What do you want from me? I said pick ME, choose ME, love Me! You didn't! You picked her! And that's fine! But she's a person too, your wife! Do you realize what you have done, what I have done, what WE have done? Do you realize what I am? You're MARRIED and I'm the other woman! I am your mistress! Your filthy mistress whore!"
Meredith paused and let the words sink in. It seemed like the right thing to do. Derek opened his mouth.
"What are you going to say, huh? That you love me? It is a little too late for that! This is your mess, our mess! I can't control myself around you! How could you do this to me? To her? To yourself? SHUT UP! (he'd tried to open his mouth again) You let me finish. You owe me that much. You don't know what you want. You want her and you come after me. She had the papers, and you didn't sign them. Stay away from me! Just please...let me breathe."
The tears came rushing out of her eyes, and she ran.
Derek looked up, numb. It couldn't have gotten any worse. No, he was wrong. It had.
Standing across the hallway from him was Addison. She'd heard the whole thing.
I don't know. What do you think? A little choppy? I'll post again later. Please review!
