Meredith Voice Over: There are times in peoples lives when they need space. Space from there family and friends. Space from there job or even space from the one they truly love. But there is space and then too much space. The too much space can be the space that tears too people in love away from each other.

"Meredith…Meredith…MEREDITH.." Christina yelled.

"WHAT?" Meredith jumped.

"What's going on? You have been spacing out for a week now."

"I have? I haven't really noticed."

"Sure you haven't."

"I haven't." Meredith said annoyed.

"Seriously. What is going on?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"UH. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't want to know." Christina said.

"Fine I will tell you. But don't judge until I finish."

"What makes you think I am going to judge." Christina said.

"Christina! It's you."

"True."

"Okay here it goes."

Meredith told Christina how she wanted space from Derek so she could figure things out in her life. She needed some space from him right now. He was giving it to her.

"…I just think he is giving me too much space. He hardly talks to me anymore. I wanted space from him. But not this much. I miss him."

"Okay as your person. I am here for you. Go talk to him. He might just surprise you."

"Wow Christina that was nice."

"It was my best supportive friend talk."

It was lunch time and Meredith was confused as ever. She wanted to talk to Derek. She missed him so much. But she still wanted her space. She had a lot of things to sort out and she didn't want to hurt Derek. If Derek really loved her, he will come back to her. Even though he was giving her a lot of space. It was the kind of guy Derek was and she knew it. At least she thought she knew.

"Hey Meredith."

"Derek…ummm hey." Meredith said jumping back to reality .

"How are you?"

"I'm fine. Trying to figure things out." she said looking confused as to why Derek is talking to her now.

"Well that's good."

"Ummm Derek? What made you come talk to me today? You have avoided me all week. What's different about today?"

"Christina told me what you told her and I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Well I'm fine. You didn't need to come and check on me because Christina told you to. I want you to come check on me because you want to. Not because you have to. " she said angrily.

"Look I just thought…."

"You just thought what? You thought you would come and check on me because you felt sorry. You know what Derek just leave me alone." Meredith said.

Meredith got up and stormed off. She was so mad at Derek. Of course she wanted him to come to her but not because someone told him to. She just wanted him to come to her because he wanted to.

Work was over and Meredith was tired. All she wanted to do was go home and get her mind off of what happen today. This too much space between Derek and Meredith was tearing them apart. Maybe she needed him more then she thought she did.
