Meredith put the final touch on her makeup. She remembered the days when she didn't wear makeup. She wasn't that kind of girl. She would dab on some lip gloss and then be on her way. That was then now she had to wear makeup. It was the only way she could cover the bruises.
She was tired of living like this. She was tired of waiting for the next time he lost temper. Nothing she did was ever right. She thought back to last night. She had a late surgery and was running late getting home. He met her at the door and pulled her inside by her hair. She had tried to apologize that only made it worse. He kicked and slapped her and then walked out of the house. She cried herself to sleep and wished that he wouldn't come back. He came back though with flowers and promises that he would change. "If only you didn't make me so angry." he had told her.
She picked up the phone. She wanted to go home. She had to leave. If she stayed he would kill her. It wouldn't be fast it would be a slow agonizing death.
"Hello" Addison was running late for work.
"Sis I want to come home" Meredith cried. Addison was her older sister. She had begged Meredith to leave Allan so many times. Meredith didn't listen kept telling her sister that he would change. She was tired of waiting for the change to happen.
"Do you want me to come and get you?" Addison knew that Allan had hurt her again. She wanted to tell her husband about the abuse. Meredith begged her to keep quite. She knew that her sister was terrified of Allan.
"No I am leaving tonight. I just wanted to make sure that you didn't care." she cried.
"Of course I don't care. Meredith this is your home. You are my sister you don't ever have to ask. Are you telling him that your leaving?" Addison knew that wouldn't go well.
"No I am leaving before he gets home. Can you talk to Webber? I have already talked to the chief. I just want to make sure that I have a job when I get there." she had been planning her escape for months.
"You know Richard will take you in with open arms. Your one of the best neurosurgeons." Addison said.
"Just talk to him okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Meredith quickly hung up the phone when she heard Allan.
Allan walked into the bathroom. He wanted to make sure that Meredith covered her bruises.
"Getting ready for work?" he asked kissing her head.
"I'm all done." she said.
He looked at her. Although she had her makeup on you could still see the bruise on her cheek. "If you would have called I wouldn't have been mad" he wanted her to know it was her fault.
Meredith didn't want to start a fight. "I know I should have called. I don't know what I was thinking." she said with a smile.
"What time are you going to be home tonight?" he asked.
"Around seven" Meredith lied. She wasn't coming home.
"I love you" he said before walking out of the bathroom.
Meredith walked into the bedroom.
"Did you wash my shirt?" he asked as he looked in the closet.
Meredith closed her eyes. She forgot to wash clothes last night. "I forgot" she whispered.
Allan looked at her. He didn't have time to deal with her right now. He grabbed another shirt and threw it on. "We will talk about it tonight." he said before he left.
Meredith released the breath that she was holding. She smiled knowing that she wouldn't have to deal with it tonight. Tonight she would be going home. To the only place that she would feel safe.
Addison walked into Derek's office.
"Hey what's wrong?" he could tell by the look on her face. Something was going on.
"Meredith is coming to stay." she sat down on his couch. She had to tell him everything.
"Is Allan coming?" he asked.
"No she is leaving him. Listen there is something that I need to tell you." she began.
"Okay" he walked over and sat down next to her.
"Remember a last month when I went to New York. Well I found out that Allan has been hitting her." she hated that she hadn't told him. She had promised Meredith she would wait for a couple weeks.
"What why didn't you tell me. That son of a.." he stood up. Meredith was like a sister to him. He could not believe that Addison hadn't said anything.
"Look Derek she's my sister. I promised that I would give her a chance to leave him." she stood up.
"Addison you are a doctor. You should have done something." he paced around his office.
"She is leaving him now. I just wanted to tell you. I don't think he will give up without a fight. I know he will come looking for her." she had never felt so much fear for her sister.
"If he comes after her. I'll kill him with my bare hands. Did you talk to Richard? I could use another neuro attending." he tried to calm down.
"I am getting ready to head up there now. I think she should take some time off. Though she probably doesn't want that." she said.
"Well talk to Richard. I promise you Addison I will protect Meredith." he walked over and wrapped his arms around his wife. He could tell that she was worried.
"She's my baby sister. I should have realized what was going on." she hated that she didn't help her.
"We will help her through this." he said.
Addison kissed his cheek. "I'll see you later." she said as she left his office.
Meredith put her bags into her car. She took one last look at her house.
"There was no turning back. He would find out that she left when he got home. She knew he would track her down. She was tired of fearing him. She wouldn't take his abuse anymore." she climbed into her car and pulled out of the driveway. She was going home.
