Hi, this is a fic about Addison Montgomery and Derek Shepherd. I own nothing. I just started writing how I would do the show. No harm in that. Hope all the Addek fans get a chance to read this one. It's not much Addek in this chapter. But I do promise you it'll come! I love this couple. Best tv-couple I'd say. Enjoy!
It was a lovely morning at SGH, Derek thought so to himself. He always hated Mondays, but who really likes them? But this Monday he liked. Was it because of the weather? The coffee he had this morning? No… it was because of the red headed he sees in front of him. He couldn't help but smile. She was talking to a nurse. She was wearing a dark blue dress, black heels, glasses and of course the lab coat was on. She looked beautiful like always. But then the smile on Derek face disappeared. And he thought to himself: "she's my ex-wife. I can't think like that about her can I? I'm with Meredith now. I made my choice. She's the one I want to be with. She's the one I need. Not Addison. Hell she screwed my best friend. Of course I can't be with her." But he still couldn't stop thinking about her. The way she smiles, the smell of her perfume that always made him go crazy. And the way she always looks at him. With big eyes and a smile. Well… used to look at him.
Addison was talking to nurse Susan. She really didn't pay much attention to her as now she had noticed Derek starring at her. She started to think she looked funny or something. But then she sees the grin on his face. Was this actually Derek looking at her? She felt the redness growing on her cheeks. What was happening? Did he check her out? Or was he just starring for no reason at all? She couldn't tell… she got interrupted by Dr. Karev. She didn't actually know what was going on between them. They did fool around a little. But that was it. Nothing serious was going on. At all. He said to the nurse "may I talk to Dr. Montgomery in private please?" the nurse nodded and started to walk away from them. He pulled her closer to him. With his hands on her waist. He looked in her eyes and closed the gap between them with a kiss. After he said with a grin "want to come back later? After shifts?" she was just about to answer when she sees a fist hit Alex's jaw. And she sees Derek's the one who had punched him. Alex pulled himself off the floor. And smashed his fist on Derek's face. Then Addison caught them off by saying: "what the hell? STOP!" they stopped and Addison walked to Alex and asked him how he was. Derek saw that too. And felt stupid. For feeling jealous about something he didn't have. He walked away, he felt the looks on him. Everyone was staring at him. He walked to an on call room. He sat on bed and tried to think about what had just happened out there. What was he thinking? He was with Meredith. Not Addison. Meredith. He sat in there for almost an entire hour thinking about this. He had to talk to Addison.
Addison saw the blood on Alex's forehead. The cut was deep. "Alex, you need stitches." Alex just nodded. Addison grabbed his hand and started walking to a spare room so they could stay private. She started to clean the cut. It was quiet. He looked at her with a grin. She noticed. "what?" she asked confused. Wondering why he was looking at her like that. "nothing, just looking at you for no reason." He said. He took her hand and pulled her closer to him and grabbed her around the neck to pull her in for a kiss. She pushed away and asked "what are we doing here Alex?" she said . "what do you mean Addison?" he said very confused. "I mean, we're not serious, right? And I want serious. I want commitment. I want the kind of guy who wants kids and marriage. I don't want fun anymore Alex, I'm too old for that. I'm not 25 anymore. I have to start thinking about me for a change. And this, whatever this is, is not something I want right now." She said. "Addison. You know what I feel about this. I'm not ready for that yet." He sighed. She looked at him. A bit sad. Not that much but sad. " I guess I have to go now then" she walked out, went to Richard's office. She stormed in. Richard got surprised. "Richard, I'm leaving." She said as she got closer to him. "wait, what Addison? Leaving?" he said chocked. "yes, I'm moving. And I quit. I'm done here." Richard thought to himself 'she can't leave. She's our best neonatal surgeon. Damn she's a world class neonatal surgeon. I need her here.' "Addison, just calm yourself down a bit. You can't leave Seattle Grace. Your life's here." Addison this time was went closer to his office table. "No Richard. I need to leave. I have nothing here. And I'm not happy here. I need a change. That's why I'm leaving." Richard decided to be her friend in this situation and not her boss. As her boss he wants her there. And as her friend he needs to be supportive. Of course he like her to stay but if this is what she needs. That's ok for him. He wants the best for her. "okay, so when did you plan on leaving?" Addison got chocked by his reaction. "ehm… today?" Richard smiled a little. "okay, but just so you know, I'm leaving your spot open, if you're coming back." Addison tried her hardest not to smile. "Richard. I'm not coming back. I'm leaving. For good. I'm done here. I really am." Richard just nodded and said "okay." He pulled her in for hug. She then walked out and couldn't help but feel free for once.
Addison got so caught up that she realized she didn't talked to Derek since he smashed Alex's face for no particular reason. She then started to search for him. She walked around in the hospital. She couldn't find him. Where was he? She feels a hand grab her wrist and she spins around noticing Derek was the one who had grabbed her hand. "can we talk?" he whispered. She could barely here it. "yes, I was actually looking for you. I need to talk to you too." He let go of her wrist and they walked to an empty on call room. Addison walked in first and then Derek.
-okay Derek. You need to tell me what's going on? What happened out there?
- Addison… I don't know to be honest.
-That's not an answer Derek! Explain to me why you just punched Alex like that! She said with a bit anger in her voice.
-fine, I was jealous. Are you happy now Addison? I was jealous of him kissing you.
Addison didn't say anything. She was chocked by the words. After a couple of seconds she managed to say:
-what do you mean you were jealous?
-I don't like him kissing you! What is it you don't understand?
-you can't just say that Derek! We're divorced. You can't say that. And you defenetly can't punch every single guy I'm kissing!
Derek knew he still had feelings for Addison. Everytime he looked at her he felt something inside. Something that made him happy. Something that brought a smile on his face. How could he have let her go? And that's when he remembers. Mark. He couldn't help by being a little angry right now. The image if his best friend and his wife having sex in his bed. On his favorite sheets. Okay. They weren't his favorite but he did like those sheets. He did know that he loved Addison more than Meredith. But he still couldn't forgive Addison for screwing his best friend. He just couldn't. So he deacided to do this the hard way.
-Addison. You need to stay away from me.
-wait, what? She said confused.
-you need to stay away from me. I don't want you near me. I can't even look at you without feeling like crap. I want you to stay the heck away from me. Now.
-are you serious? You were just telling me how you were jealous of Alex Karev for kissing me! And now you want me to walk away? Just like that? Now she was angry.
-yes. I'm with Meredith and we are divorced Addison. Just leave.
-for the love of god Derek! You're the one who punched the guy. So stop making it sound like I'm the one to blame. Because I'm not.
-just stay the hell away from me Addison! Derek almost screamed now.
-good for you that I'm leaving then! Addison screamed now too.
-leaving? Derek said calmer now.
-I'm moving. So you can go and have your little party now to celebrate, right Derek?
Addison was hurt. She actually thought the moment Derek said he was jealous about the kiss thing that they actually could make this work. Being Addison and Derek again. She never stopped loving Derek. She knew he was the one and only for her. But he apparently didn't feel the same about her. And the hurt full words he just had said to her, that he didn't want to see her ever again made her feel sick and broken. They were married. They had a life. Until she slept with Mark. God she regreted that night. Addison couldn't help the tears now. They were coming slowly down her cheeks. She was still waiting for an answer from Derek but he just looked at her. He felt like a douche. How could he do that to her? He made her cry. For something that isn't even true. Of course he didn't want her to leave. But it was easier this way... at least that's what he thought. He can't go back to Addison. He can't trust her enough for that. So he took the easier way. Staying with Meredith. He still was looking at Addison. She was red around her eyes and wet. The tears were still streaming down her face. He couldn't take it anymore. Seeing her cry was the hardest thing to watch. He started walking to the door. And he stopped and turned around and said.
-Good Bye Addison.
And then he was gone. She was more than hurt. She decided to put this aside. This wasn't going to bring her down. So she dried the tears away with her hand. And went home. She had enough for one day. She just wanted to leave this place. She went to the hotel she was staying at. Took her things, it wasn't that much but she didn't want to leave them by. So she grabbed her stuff, and checked out. Took her car and drove off. To California.
Addison had already talked to her best friend Naomi from the early years about coming to LA. Naomi had told her that she owned a private practice in LA. She and her ex-husband Sam actually. And that she would love for Addison to come and work there with her and the rest of them. Addison who had taken her car, was bored and decided to call her friend.
-Naomi? Hi, it's Addie.
-Hey, are you on your way?
-yeah, I'm almost there. So the house looks good right? You didn't choose a creepy old house for me did you? She said laughing.
Addison had already made up her mind that she wouldn't be staying at a hotel this time. She rather lived outside then. So she had asked Naomi to set her up with something nice.
-of course I didn't! haha, it's an amazing beach house. But I should tell you something though… Sam lives next door.
-what? Sam as in your ex-husband? Naomi!
-what? I thought you wouldn't mind since you guys are friends and all…
-I don't mind. I'm just surprised that's all.
-okay, well I have to go know Addie, I'll see you in a bit then! Drive careful.
-okay, bye Nae.
And they both hung up. Addison was supposed to meet Naomi up at Addison's new house. When she got there she saw Naomi standing on the driveway talking with someone on the phone. She drove up on the driveway and parked her car and then got out. Naomi hung up on the conversation she was having. Considering her friend is more important than work stuff. They hugged each other and then went to look inside the house together.
-Nae, this is perfect!
-See? I told you it was! It's so you, now I know you told me to buy some furniture but all I could find was a bed, a couch and a tv… I just didn't want to buy stuff that you wouldn't like.
-oh god, don't think about it. I'll fix that later. thank you for the help!
-no need to thank me, Addison.
After they had checked the house out they drove to the practice. Naomi thought it'll be good for Addison to meet everybody before she starts working tomorrow. When she had met everyone Naomi showed Addison her office. It was pretty big, it looked like her old office back in New York just that this one was brighter considering the windows and that it actually was sunny in LA. After the long day she went home. She grabbed Italian food on her way home and went to bed and ate it. When she was about to sleep she couldn't help but thinking about Derek. Did he really hate her that much? She was so confused. He had told her he was jealous. And then he just told her to leave? Why?
So hope you all liked the chapter. Drama huh? Please read and review. I love to hear your ideas as well. Please cheer your thoughts! This is my first fic so be nice people. Next chapter will be up in a bit! Thanks. /Addison
