Meredith was walking down the white and blue halls of Seattle High she was passing classes and whenever she looked in there would be a teacher lecturing kids on what they do wrong everyday. She hated being back in Seattle it reminded her of her father which abandoned her as far as she knows. But she knew she could forget all about him because her step dad ,Richard, was in the picture now. He was her father since she moved to boston and richard came running after her mother ellis. As she kept walking she ended up outside she was sick of teachers telling her to stop sleeping in classes or leave. she doesnt know what the point of school is when she already is the top of her class. All of a sudden she bumped into someeone who she hated he was the most populest boy in the whole school. he was the perfect child and the best soccer player and had thousands of friends and threw a party every month when his parents went away. He had the dark curls that probably took hours for him to do in the morning.

" I'm so sorry i should look where im going next time. " he said.

" its ok i wasnt really paying attention either i was just walking and then i bumped into you its not like im running away from school or anything because that would be totally wierd and it would be kind of crazy and my parents would-"

" you ramble a lot ."

" you like to talk bad about people who are saying sorry. "

" but still you ramble i think its kind of funny though. "

" oh so now your making jokes. "

" im sorry im Derek " he took out his right hand and i finally got a glimpse at the time on his cartier watch that looked like it cost a million.

" and im late i got to go sorry again. "

" so now you are running away when i try to be nice. "

" like i said derek im late. " I felt wierd saying his name i never even talked to him before. As i started to walk away towards my car i heard him say something so i turned around.

" I dont even know your name though. " he shouted

" Meredith. Meredith Grey." and that was it i got in my escalade and drove away. I found myself looking in the mirror to see if he was still standing there and i saw him get into a mustang with 2 white stripes. I parked outside of the house that is too big for two surgeons and one daughter who hates being home alone. I went straight to the kitchen and got a can of coke out and started drinking it as i was hearing the 2 new messages.

" you have one new message message one ... Hello this message is for ellis we wanted to call to say that your daughter meredith was sleeping in class and we sent her home early we excpect for you to come to school tomarrow in the morning for a meeting thank you. message two ... hey meredith this is Alex im going to seattle next weekend and im bringig izzie with me cant wait to see you again its madd quiet without you here and the parties arent as fun call me when you get a chance. "

After all the messages were done she went up the stairs to her room and shut her door it was only 12 and she wanted to do all her homework so she can take a shower and go with her friend Christina to a party toight. She sat dont and started to do her homework. As she was almost done with her hoomework the doorbell rang and she ran down the stairs to the door. She didnt even check out the window on the door and only noticed that Derek out of all people were on her doorstep before school even lets out and dressed like a celebrity with his shades and leather jacked and inidigo v-neck shirt and black tight pants and navy blue converses.

" hey ...what are you doing here. " I couldnt even find the right words for him actually being here i looked up and his eyes were sparkling blue and thats when i noticed he is actually very charming and dreamy.

" I forgot to give you this.. " he handed her a folder with a bunch of papers inside "...i was actually leaving the school to find meredith grey because my mom is the principal and she called me to go bring these to your house and your parents worked with my dad and i didnt even know you were meeredith grey until you actually said it and then just took off. "

" oh and now you ramble too i think its contagious. "

'' yea im starting to think the same thing. ''

" do want to come in? " i dont know why i asked but i had a feeling it would be rude to just say bye and shut the door on him.

" um.. yeah sure i have about an hour to spare " he stepped in beside me and i could smell his cologne and to me it was kind of calming. I closed the door after him and he followed me when i walked into the kitchen. i turned on the plasma in the kitchen and threw him the remote he caught it just in time and put it on the yankees game and lowerd it down then put the remote to the side.

" do you want anything to drink or eat. " i asked

" What do you have to drink?. " i opened the fridge and starting telling him all the options.

" Water, coke, pepsi, sprite, apple and orange juice, beer, tequila and milk. "

" I think i will just have a water please. " i took out the cold water bottle and slid it over to him on the couter then walked around the island and sat down next to him.

" so why so you like the yankees when you live in seattle." i asked him after looking at the tv in silence for 2 minutes.

" im originally from new york moved here when i was 6 my mom wanted to get out of new york and she took me and my four sisters with her and left everything else behind. "

" why did she leave. " i found myself wanting to know everything about him.

" my dad died when i was almost 6 of a heart attack i was the only one home and we were having a fight because he wanted to spend time with me without my best friend mark which you probably know him from school and i would always have him around then we were fighting and he just held his chest and went to the floor and he looked like he was dying my mom got home and she found me crying and all i was saying was im sorry then the next week i turned 6 and i couldnt cry with everyone staring at me and then it got to be too much for my mom ad she packed up and we moved here and she still goes back every month to leave flowers for him but she sleeps in a hotel because she cant bring herself to ever go back to that house."

" im sorry i know its hard to grow up without a dad i always feel like i was never good enough for my father."

" your father died? i thought richard was your father."

" no my father isnt dead hes just dead to me. "

" are you going to tell me the whole story? "

" yeah sure when i was five i actually lived in seattle but my dad abandoned me and my mom because she was a workaholic and she was having an afair with richard. she moved to boston and was devastated but no one ever knew because she worked a lot and only came home every 2 weeks to pay the nanny and to leave money for me and to pack more scrubs to go back to work. after two weeks richard came to boston after my mother because he left his wife for my mom. my dad never left any letters or anything then he calls me on my 10th birthday to say he missed me and to tell my mom he got remarried and has two little girls. richard had to come back to seattle last month because the hospital offered him chief and he took the job. and so my mom got head of general at seattle grace which richard owns now and i know where my real dad lives but i dont want to go there because im afraid he wont even want to see me. "

" so your mother is never around. " he asked that question like it would be the end of the world for him.

" well richard comes home every 3 days and my mom comes home sometimes whenever its convienient for her. " i didnt want to lie to him and i couldnt bring myself to make up a lie and tell it to him when hes been so honest with me.

" oh well your life totally sucks more than mines and i know how it feels to have both your parents abandon you for something else or someone. "

" really? , you have the most perfect life and you know how my sucky life feels like. "

" yes i do your mom abandoned you for the hospital well so did my dad he was a nuerosurgeon and my mom was always taking care of my sisters and leaving me out like i was old enough to take care of myself even after my dad died she would never pull me into a hug lke she did with my sisters and she talked to me like i was a burden in her life and i was just a person taking up space in her house. but things are better now i love my mom to death but sometimes she overdoes it and becomes too clingy. " i didnt quite understand why he chose to share all of this information with me he didnt even know me and he was sharing all his darkest secrets with me and i finally found the real derek shephard and not the jock that does everything his friends tell him to do.

" i wish my mom was at least a little clingy my mom shows no emotion unless its with richard she thinks im always a dissapointment even when i get straight A's in school. " it was already getting late and he was playing with his water bottle when the yankees game ended them winning 7 to 3 and his phone started ringing. he looked at his caller id and said "excuse me" and went in the hall. i started looking through menus to order in because i knew cristina would get here and be starving to death. I was looking through all the chinese resturanunts until he came in.

" hey do you want to stay for dinner my friend christina is comin over with her boyfriend preston and you can invite anyone its my mom who is paying anyways. "

" yeah sure my mom just called though and said she wants me to go pick up my sister and bring her home then i have the whole night out for myself and today is friday so i dont need to be home til late. do you want to come it will only take about 20 minutes. "

" yeah sure ill come let me just get my shoes and jacket. "

" ok ill be waiting here. " i ran up the stairs and put my skinny red jeans on and i put on a 'cute is what we aim' for t-shirt and my white jacket and white superga shoes. i went into the bathroom and brushed my hair quickly. i took my iphone and purse and went downstairs in the kitchen to see that derek had already cleaned the mess and turned off the tv.

" you didnt have to clean up my mom pays a maid to do that every day. "

" i grew up with cleaning up my messes at someones house and it just became a habit. "

" ok well i guess we should get going im going to text christina and tell her to be here at 6:30 since its already 5:30"

"thats fine." he led me outside and waited for me to lock the door when we got to his car he opened and closed my door for me as he was walking around the car i leaned over ad opened the door from the inside for him. he gotin ad said a quick thank you then turned the egine on ad sped away to his sisters school.
