Chapter 2- Honesty is the best policy (Part.2 Derek's point of view)

Derek was stood in the kitchen of his small, cramped up trailer. He was making breakfast, cutting up some sort of fish which he had been out and caught himself. Fresh from the wild. It was silent, pretty much as you would expect a place which is located in the middle of nowhere to be. Addison was in one of the other rooms moaning about something or other in the background, not that he was paying the slightest bit of attention to her. His mind was on something else. Meredith and what happened the day before. It's all he could think about. Grabbing a plate from out of the cupboard, Derek walked over to the table and started to eat. Addison stormed out of the bedroom and sat herself down on the chair opposite to her husband.

"I've had it with this trailer! Theres no space to move, everything is a mess!" She sighed and looked across the table at Derek.

"You didn't have to move in here you know Addi, it's not like you didn't know what it would be like" Derek argued back.

"You asked me to move to Seattle… you remember?" Addison sat back in her chair and crossed her arms.

"Yes I remember, but what I didn't say was to move into the trailer" Derek started to eat once again.

"Where did u expect me to go? You asked me to come out here and I did that, its not like you did what I asked you to do…you're still speaking to Meredith" Addison got up and moved over to the stove, she looked around "You haven't even made me any"

"You don't like trout" Derek put his plate firmly in the sink and walked into another room.

………………………

Not so long after, at the hospital Derek walked out of the o r, he was wiping down his hands with the paper. Chucking it calmly into the bin, Derek carried on walking. He spotted Cristina strolling through the nurses station. Derek waited until she had disappeared round the corner, then he sped up, following her steps. Cristina stopped noticing that someone was behind her, she turned round to be faced by Derek. Giving him a weird look she continued to walk. Derek grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side.

"What?" Cristina shouted, abit to loudly but whatever. Nobody's heads even turned.

"Hows Meredith today? I haven't seen her, she okay?" Derek asked her, he crossed his arms.

"I don't know" Cristina lied, putting her notepad safely back into her pocket of her lab coat.

"What do you mean you don't know? You're her best friend" Derek reminded her.

"Yeah well maybe I just didn't want to discuss it with you" Cristina turned to go, but it only resulted in her getting pulled back.

"Why not me?" Derek wondered.

Cristina looked at him as if to say, does that question really need answering? "Because…it might not even be to do with you, it could be none of your business! Now are we done?" Cristina asked him, she raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah" He answered uncrossing his arms. Cristina walked away. "I will find out" He said, raising his voice just a little. Cristina looked back "Okay…" she said sarcastically. Derek smiled to himself, then walked back the way he was coming. As he turned the corner Addison appeared on the other side. His smile soon faded.

"Hey" Addison chirped up. "About this morning, I'm so…" she went to say.

"Not now Addi, ive got a patient I've got to see too" Derek moved her slightly to the side and carried his journey and went into a ward.. Addison sighed and watched him go, then she too walked away but in the opposite direction, up the stairs.

………………………………...

After a couple of hours of working. Derek was walking through the murky corridors. He was listening to his ipod, but only using one headphone. He hadn't been walking for too long and had just reached the nurses station. Handing a chart into one of the nurses, Derek looked ahead of him. He saw Meredith, It was weird how he hadn't been able to find her all day and just now she was heading the same way that he was. Derek could notice her anywhere from a mile off. He had to do something before she disappeared. Although he couldn't bring his legs to run, so without thinking he started to shout her. Everybody at this point had looked up and stopped what they was doing, looking at Derek. He didn't care. Meredith stopped and turned herself, just for a second to see who it was that was shouting her. Derek was relieved that she had noticed him, but he wasn't sure what was going to happen next. He had sort of forgotten. It was Meredith that made the next move, about five minutes of just standing still like the statue of liberty. She started to walk much faster than she was before hand. Seeing that she was heading for the elevator Derek ran towards it and just made it through the gap in the door. He didn't want her to escape from him so he reached out and pushed down the stop button. Derek sighed, Meredith wasn't wanting to make eye contact with him.

"So, not speaking to me now? What have I supposed to have done?" Derek broke the silence "Mer? I thought we were friends"

"I…I don't think I can be just friends with you" Meredith spoke up, still not making eye contact.

"Well, what made you change your mind? Was it something I did because I could fix it…If you'll let me" Derek smiled, hoping to be all charming.

"No its stupid…im stupid just…just forget it!" Meredith snapped, now looking straight at him.

"I don't think you're stupid infact no one does" Derek said, crossing his arms.

"Really? Well it doesn't matter because its still a stupid thing I keep thinking of and I know how its going to turn out I don't need to talk to you about it like everyone is telling me too…really I don't" Meredith too crossed her arms. "Don't look at me like that, its exactly my point whenever you do that my head goes all cloudy...You've got a wife and let me just say this, she's not easy to hate" Derek let out a little laugh. "This is not funny!"

"No I know…I wasn't laughing at that its just when you mentioned my wife, Mer look at me…Meredith, when you gave me a choice to make, I…I chose wrong. It wasn't until just lately that I realised" Derek sighed, he looked at Meredith. She had yet again fell silent and moved forward so she could push the stop button. Derek understood that she must've wanted to get out of there. As it stopped and the doors opened, Meredith stepped out. Derek watched her, until the doors closed. He was so glad he had finally told her how he really feels. The only thing he had to do was end it with Addison, now this he was dreading. Derek placed his hand on the side wall of the elevator and sighed.
