Big Mistake by 
Natalie Imbruglia
.

There's no sign on the gate

and there's mud on your face

don't ya think it's time we re-investigate this situation

put some fruit on your plate

you forgotten how it started

close your eyes

think of all the bubbles of love we made

and you're down on your knee

it's too late

oh don't come crawlin'

and you lie by my feet

what a big mistake

I see you fallin'

Gotta buzz in my head

and my flowers are dead

can't figure out a way to rectify this situation

don't believe what you said

you forgotten how it started

close your eyes

think of all the bubbles of love we made

and you're down on your knees

it's too late

oh don't come crawlin'

and you lie by my feet

what a big mistake

I see you fallin'

I could sting like a bee

careful how you treat me 
baby

I don't think l'll accept, your sorry invitation

close the door as you leave

and you cry over me

I can't wait

I feel you stallin'

and you try to reach me

what a big mistake

I hear you callin'

"Can you please, explain to me... how exactly did your McDreamy status was changed overnight to McAss? It's everywhere... all the nurses are talking about it." Mark looked at his friend with an inquisitive expression, as he followed him through one of the hospital's hallways.

"I'm an ass." Derek said with a blank expression.

"I think we already established that. What I'm interested to know is how exactly did that happen?"

As both men were getting closer to the nurse's station, a pair of women's giggles resounded all over the place... Derek distinguished the infectious and adorable giggle, the one that was practically engraved inside his brain... he would recognize it anywhere, he'd find it, even in the middle of a thousand different giggles, and along with that, the other woman's giggle seemed a bit familiar too.

Wait a minute!

His brain refused to believe what his eyes were watching...

Hell no!!

"Is that... did they... did my?" He tried to utter, but the million thoughts going through his brain, didn't seem to find and exit... his neural connections, were at a short circuit.

"...ex-girlfriend and your ex-project of new girlfriend are talking all friendly and laughing together as if they were old friends?" Mark finished Derek's sentence as he watched beside his friend, at Meredith and Rose talking amusedly...

"Yeah!!" Derek said incredulously.

"Yep!! They are all giggly and friendly... I hate when they team-up... I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up coupling with each-other... and you wouldn't want that happening because once they turn to the dark side... they never come back... trust me... I know. It's a girl's power bullshit or something... I bet they are talking about you... and not in a nice way." He smirked cynically as Derek gave him a dirty look.

As soon as both women noticed both men presence, they snorted looking at each-other with complicity and walked away in opposite directions from one-another.

Derek looked right and then left, trying to figure out which one of them he would follow first... He certainly needed to amend a lot of things with both girls, but he figured Rose could wait... Meredith was his main target... so he started running behind her.

"Meredith! Meredith! Would you please stop and listen to me." He said as he grabbed her arm to stop her, making her turn around to him.

"I'm an ass... I know I'm an ass..."

"You think?"

"I... I... just... could we turn the page and try to fix this..."

"Mhhmm let me see!" She said acting as if she were thinking about it... "NO!!! Quit following me!!!"

"Why not?"

"Do you seriously need a recap? Why do you act as if you had no idea what's this about? For a brain surgeon you're pretty brainless."

-

We're having sex every night. I think I deserve details.

You have more details than most.

See, this is going somewhere weird. I want facts, and until I get them, my pants are staying on.

Or you could just roll with it. Be flexible. See what happens.

-

"Ever since I meet you there was this little voice that kept telling me 'run... run Meredith... run...' and what did I do? I totally and completely dismissed it... I knew you were trouble and I didn't listened to myself even when all the signs were there..."

-

You know, you keep taking everything on faith. How do you know what's real and what's not?

You just do. You know some people would call this a relationship. The kind where you exchange keys, leave your toothbrush over.

Who? Who would call it that?

Me. I would.

-

"You told me to take it on faith... and I did... I trusted you... I stood in front of the cliff... I took whatever acrophobia I had and shove it away... I closed my eyes... and I jumped... I jumped hoping you would be there on the ground to catch me... but you weren't there... instead... there was your wife all leggy and fabulous, and I fell right on my ass...

-

And I'm supposed to believe you?

Uh-huh.

Show me something. Give me a reason to believe.

-

"You've tricked me way too many times."

-

She gave me divorce papers. She filed. All I have to do is sign and I'm free … We're free.

Is there anything to think about?

No of course not. I have to read through them. Sign them and then Addison is on the next plane out of here.

-

"And you think I've learned my lesson back then... but noooo... and wham!!! You tricked me again... And I don't think I can forgive you for that any time soon."

-

This morning I was going to come over. I was going to say ... What I wanted to say was ... But now all I can say is that ... I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you for... ever... I'm a little late... I know I'm a little late in telling you that... I... I just... I just want you to take your time, you know? Take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.

-

"I tricked you again?" He said astonished.

-

You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy. Someone who won't complicate your life. Someone who won't hurt you. He's the better guy, Meredith. Finn's the better guy. I'm walking away.

-

"I wasn't ready for marriage... but I told you that I'd get ready... you said you'd wait... But you never specified that you'd wait for just a week or so... I was working really hard to get ready for you... coz' I didn't want to loose you... I told you that... I did make a step... maybe a small one... but an important and a difficult step for me... I said that to you too... and you tricked me..."

-

He's going to hurt you again. And when he does, I won't be here. Take care of yourself Meredith.

-

"You had already set your eyes on someone else, and instead of being honest with me about that you tricked me... you couldn't wait to run to her... so you threw me the house plans, knowing that it would be too much for me, you knew I'd freak... that way you could go to her, fault free... so you could keep your good guy status in the eyes of everyone...

-

What they're doing is not about love, Derek! It's- it's- well, it's like you. Like how you pretend to love me, but really you're just using me fill some need you have to be a good guy.

-

"I would be the bad guy... I would be the commit-phobe... and you would be the poor guy with a mess of a girlfriend... So NO DEREK!!! We can't turn the page and try to fix it... This is unfixable... this is the third time you jerked me around... and guess what...? It's the last one... and this time you won't find your way back to me and befriend me with your dreamy smile and your leaning stile inside elevators...

-

This thing with us it's finished... it's done...

Finally!

-

She left him right there standing in the middle of the nurses station's with a defeated expression.

"Meredith please!!! You're the love of my life." He yelled at her hoping to change her heart.

"Yeah right!" she muttered to herself.

Exposed to everyone scrutinizing him with their looks, specially the nurses. He turned around and saw Rose passing by with a chart in her hands.

"Rose!" He said as he started walking towards her. "Rose! Please! We need to talk."

She stopped with a hand gesture. "Don't bother Dr. Shepherd! I think we already discussed everything we needed to discuss."

"I just... I want to apologize."

"I think it's too late for that..." She took her chart and walked away.

"Ass!"

"Ass!"

"Ass!"

"What?" He turned around to realize that Nurse Debby, Nurse Olivia and Nurse Tyler were looking at him with a mad expression in their faces. "What did I ever do to you?"

The tree nurses smirked to each-other, and went back to their work, ignoring him.

"Jesus man!! This is worse than I thought... I don't think they all hate me that much. And with me they have a motive. What you do to them?" Mark said as he approached to him.

"Shut up!" He said infuriated and walked away...

I am really an ass...

-

A/N I realize that I'm exaggerating things a bit too much, and I'm turning him into a real moron, but I couldn't help it. I'm really... really pissed at him. So this is gonna be a three-shot. There is one more thing that I want to do with this.
