Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Grey's Anatomy or any of the character *cries* but I do own the box sets :P

The story is set after the finale of season 3 but some things are different which you need to know:

Ellis Grey doesn't have Alzheimer's.

Mark hasn't arrived yet.

Addison hasn't left for L.A yet.

No one knows who Meredith's mum really is, only Dr. Webber but he's been sworn to secrecy by Meredith.

***********************************

"Meredith. Get up now!" Meredith pulled the covers over her head and groaned as she heard the new voice of people who were trying to get her out of bed. She had locked the door earlier that morning and now all they could do was talk to her from the other side.

"Mer, if you don't get out of bed now I'll come in there and drag you out!" shouted Christina. She heard someone from the other side of the door tell her that the door was locked and she wouldn't be able to do what she threatened to do. Meredith smile to herself as she heard Christina sigh. She remained silent hoping that they would leave her alone if they thought that she had gone back to sleep. It worked for all of two minutes before Izzie started talking.

"Mer, come on. You can't lay in bed all day," said Izzie gently from the other side of the door.

"Watch me," she shouted back. Just at that moment she heard her mobile ringing from downstairs, she couldn't just leave she thought to herself as she got up out of bed. She rushed out of the door so that none of her friends had a chance to stop her. She ran down the stairs not wanting the phone to stop ringing before she had a chance to answer it.

"Hello... Die? Oh my god, die... It's been so long... Really? ... Yeah well, I'll see you there... Okay... We'll talk soon... Bye." As she put the phone down, with a smile on her face, she noticed her friends stood in the doorway. This included Izzie, Christina, Alex and George.

"Who was that on the phone?" asked Christina as soon as she out the phone down.

"Yeah, 'cause whoever it was got you out of bed pretty quickly." She stayed silent as they fired questions at her.

"Was it McDreamy?"

"No!" she replied quickly, she and Derek had been broken up for about two weeks now, ever since Christina's almost wedding. She hadn't talked to him and wasn't planning on either.

"Who was it then?" asked George curiously.

"No one!" she said again, getting annoyed that they wouldn't just leave her alone to go back to bed. They all gave a suspicious look and she sighed at. Nope, they wouldn't leave her alone. Izzie looked as though she was about to speak but Meredith cut her off before she could.

"I can have other friends you know," she joked.

"Are you okay Mer?" asked Christina, she was worried about her friend but she didn't show it, she was never good at showing her emotions.

"Yeah, I'm fine." They all continued to stare, this is what she always said, whether she was fine or not. Meredith couldn't take it anymore so she pushed them all out of the way and stormed up the stairs.

"Someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning," joked Alex. This made both Christina and Izzie glare at him, making him look guilty.

"There's something wrong with her," stated George.

"You don't say Bambi," said Christina sarcastically. They all looked at each wondering what they could do to help their friend who was obviously not fine.
