The Truth
A prequel to It Will Always Be Her
Chapter 1
Her dark hair fanned out across the pillow, her chest moved up and down with every breath. He propped himself up on his elbow as he watched the woman he called his, slept soundlessly and peacefully. He would have to go soon before Derek got back but with what sounded like the whole house still downstairs it would be an impossible task. So maybe, just maybe, he would get some shut eye - I mean it was four am, he'd have to get up soon for his shift and that was the last thought on his mind as he slipped into sleep cuddled up to Lexie.
"Lex come on, you're gunna be late!" called Sadie.
"I'll go," said Meredith.
"Lex," she whispered, as she opened the door but what she wasn't prepared for,
was the sight before her, "what the hell?"
She left the room shaking her head.
"Is she coming?" asked Sadie.
"She has company," said Meredith tight lipped.
"Oh," said Sadie, then she noticed Meredith's expression, "it's been months, you know her and Sloan, it's been five months," she added.
"Why didn't she tell me?" asked Meredith.
"Became you sent Derek to ward Mark off, which worked until Lexie showed up at this hotel room and near enough stripped. Then he stayed away for a week but by then he liked her too much to stay away. And it's been just them for the last five months no cheating. They're serious and they're happy," explained Sadie with a smile. "Just think about that before you tell Derek - I'm sure we want them both unscathed when it comes out," she added before she got out of the car.
"She's in a relationship," thought Meredith. "A living, breathing, happy and serious relationship with Mark Sloan. Why didn't I notice? Why did I have to warn him away?" she thought as she walked into the hospital to find her boyfriend.
