She had some trouble with herself.

He was always there to help her.

She always belonged to someone else.

-

Derek lay awake, staring at Meredith beside him, in the darkness of his small trailer. He could smell her hair and he felt as though nothing could stop their forbidden love.

Looking at how his life had became so uncomplicated. She had brightened up his life and they both knew it. He hadn't told her about his wife, Addison. He was planning to tell her tomorrow evening, when he would ask her out to dinner. He would admit everything to her, no matter how much he knew it would hurt her, he promised himself he would do it.

Meredith sighed loudly and Derek's body froze, hoping he didn't wake her up. But Meredith just snuggled closer to Derek's chest, closing her eyes tighter.

He smiled at this action, and put one lazy arm around her.

He kissed her forehead lightly, his fingertips traveling across her face. He ran them over her cheeks, her nose, her closed eyelids, her lips, and finally, softly down her neck. He ran his hands through her hair gently.

Then, as he looked down, he saw one tiny tear trickle down her cheek.

"Meredith?" he whispered, knowing now that she was awake.

She opened her eyes weakly, staring him in the eye. She didn't say anything to him.

"Meredith…" he soothed, his thumbs wiping away one tear after another. "Please don't cry."

But the tears just kept coming, knowing he, himself, could not stop them.

After a couple of minutes of just lying there beside him, she spoke.

"Derek. Promise me that you will never let me go..." her voice trailed off, her eyes closing slowly.

"I promise." He whispered.

And she believed him, plain as day.

-

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door.

I've had you so many times.

But somehow, I want more.

-

The next day, Addison came and both of their lives came crashing down upon them.

She ran out of the hospital crying, leaving Derek there to lick his wounds.

He stared as she ran. He wanted so badly to run after her…

But he had hurt her too much to know that he would never be able to fix the pain he had caused. So he watched as she tried her best to mend her broken heart. Day after day after day.

But one day, he couldn't take it anymore, and stopped loving Addison.

And started loving her more.

-

I don't mind spending every day, out on your corner in the pouring rain.

Look for the girl with the broken smile.

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile.

And she will be loved.

-

"Don't touch me." She said, through gritted teeth, her hard breathing becoming more urgent.

"Meredith…" he pleaded.

"Don't you dare say my name." She said angrily.

He stared at her, wondering what to do. His hand gripped her arm tightly, not wanting to let her go again.

But she refused to listen to him.

She immediately ripped her arm out of his grip and stormed away.

And he knew, no matter how hard he tried, it would continue to be like this. It would continue being tough.

She walked away, leaving him there in the rain.

And she refused to admit to herself she was still in love with him.

-

Tap on my window, knock on your door.

I want to make you feel beautiful.

I know I tend to get so insecure.

Doesn't matter anymore.

-

"How's your mother?" he asked.

"Fine." She said quietly, trying her hardest to use as few words as she could.

He knows she's lying but doesn't push the subject.

He stares at her back, wondering why he let all of this happen. He knows this is all is fault, and he takes the blame for everything.

She was right here, in front of him, in a concealed elevator with the doors closed. Together. But yet so alone.

"How are…you?" he doesn't look up, doesn't look down, doesn't look anywhere but at her.

"I'm fine." She says, and she doesn't even believe herself.

"Really?" he asks.

"No."

And it's just plain as that. He tries to grab her arm to hold her back but she pulls herself away from him and walks out of the elevator, doors now ajar.

And she wonders, why does she still shiver at his touch?

-

It's not always rainbows and butterflies.

It's compromise that moves us along.

My heart if full and my door's always open.

You can come anytime you want.

-

He raises his hand to the door, and knocking lightly, awaits for her to open the door.

She comes to open the door, with a slight smile on her face. Once she sees him, her smile fades but opens the door slightly.

"Yes?" she asks casually.

"Meredith. Can I please talk to you?" he asks, his heart pounding in his chest.

She agrees and steps outside cautiously.

"What do you want?" she asks stiffly as she closes the door behind her.

"You." He says quietly.

She looks up. His eyes are pleading for forgiveness and she just about gives in right then and there.

He takes a step closer, his hand now resting lightly on her hip.

He leans in closer, this time towards her face. And he's surprised then she doesn't pull away from him.

Their lips touch for five seconds before she pulls away sharply.

She takes a step back and looks down.

He doesn't do anything but just stands there, the shock from the kiss still running through his mind, not being able to get out.

Not looking at him, she whispers, "You…you told me you would never…would never let me go…"

She looks up and is surprised to find his face inches away from hers.

"I never let you go."

-

And as days go by, the memories remain.

I'll wait for you.

As days go by I swear I'll try, until I die, anything for you.

-

I told you I was bored. With all this FREAKING homework.

This is my excuse for not doing my homework. I write. I write and write and write. Yeah, well, anyways, I have a contest for you people.

Actually, two contests. Ok. Here it goes.

Guess the lyrics of the song at the very end of the fanfic. (OPTIONAL)

Guess how old I am. :-D (this is required if you want me to keep going with the story…)

Annnd, if you get it right, I'll tell you.

If you people review, I'll continue with this story.
