Missing Out and Catching Up.

Note: Sequel to 'Deja Vu, I Love You'...A two weeks after Meredith found out Derek has a 16 year old daughter than he had when he was 16 (I know he's probably not 32, but hey, it's my story, lol). Anywho, Meredith called off the wedding, and hasn't spoken to him since. She is currently in Cleveland, visting a cousin for the holidays. Let's see what happens...

Chapter 1.

''I told you Meredith, she's gone back to California! I won't be seeing her again!'' Derek ducked as a plate flew past his head. It smashed against the wall, shortly followed by a glass vase.

''That is not the point!! The point is that you didn't tell me!! You knew and you didn't tell me!! You know what else is worse??'' She said, knocking a bunch of ornaments from a nearby shelf.

''There's something worse?'' Izzy whispered to George, as they listened to the arguement from the top of the staircase.

''You knew you had a daughter, yet you didn't stick by her! You didn't support her, you just upped and left her mother to cope! You're just like my father!!'' Meredith stood still, sighing deeply, a stream of tears flowing down her face. Derek moved closer to her, and put a comforting arm around her, leaning in to kiss her cheek in a last attempt of apologising. Without warning, she slapped him, hard and fast across the face. ''Don't touch me!!'' She yelled. Derek swore he could see a flicker of red in her eyes; pure anger and hatred.

Meredith closed the photo album -full of pictures of her and Derek- and tossed it to one side. She didn't know why she had bought it with her, she wanted to forget about Derek and his endless secrets, but she found comfort in his eyes. Even if they were his lying, deceitful eyes. She made her way downstairs, and sat by the warm fire, listening to her Cousin Sara faintly talking with her husband in the kitchen. She hated being in the way, wishing she could go home, but deep down she knew she couldn't. Not yet. She was an avoider. Always running away from problems.

Sara returned to the living room, and sat next to Meredith. ''Look, i know you probably don't want to talk about it, but it might help. Keeping it bottled up will only add to your stress level.''

''Believe me, Sara, i know all about stress levels. And no, i don't want to talk about it. Not yet.''

Sara handed her a small glass of wine. ''Okay. Whenever you're ready.'' A faint cry from a baby monitor sent Sara disappearing out of the room. Meredith sipped her wine, and leaned her head back into the soft cushion of the chair. She saw a clock on the mantle piece chime twelve. Simultaneously, her mobile phone rang, yet the caller was unknown. Reluctantly, she answered,

''Hello?''

''Hi!!''

''Hi Izzy, Merry Christmas''

''Merry Christmas to you too! When are you coming home Mer? Everyone misses you! We want you back! We demand you come back!!''

''Izzy?''

''Yeah?''

''I've been gone two weeks. I''ll be back in the new year. I promise.''

''Good! I'm holding you to that!''

''Goodbye Izzy.''

''Bye, and Merry Christmas!''

Meredith hung up the phone and took a sip from her glass. Once again, her phone rang, ''Uh, what now?'' She said, reaching for her phone.

''Hello?''

''Hi Meredith''

''Hi George.''

''Mer...Merry Christmas - hic- Meredith''

''George?''

''Yeah?''

''You're drunk.''

''No! I'm just -hic- Merry. Hey, Merry Christmas Meredith!''

''You too, George, goodnight''

''Night Mer! Callie says Merry Christmas!!''

Meredith once again hung up her phone. And once again it rang.''Merry freakin' Christmas already!'' She said down the receiver.

''I get a Merry Christmas now?''

''Derek..''

''Meredith, i just want to say sorry, i know you're sick of my voice, and i will stop calling you, but not until you listen to me and come home! Come back to Seattle! You're still there.''

''I'm still here.''

''Does that mean,..I mean, are we...we okay?''

''Merry Christmas Derek'' Meredith hung up the phone, this time switching it off completley. Making her way up the stairs, Meredith entered the guest room, and slumped onto the bed, drifting into an uncomfortable, light sleep.
