A/N: So this is Meredith in school. Her escape. Hope you like it. Oh, and thanks like a bijillon for giving me 94 hits in 1 day! I'm so happy! Haha.

DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I don't own anything that has to do with Grey's Anatomy. I just write about it. :) Shonda Rhimes owns it all.

"Monday morning. Thank the lord." These were the thoughts that graced her mind every Monday. Thanks to her mother ruining the only 2 days she had a break from her hectic school life. She saw her best friend entering the "inner sanctum of learning" as they called it, and started walking towards her.

"So what happened Friday? Why were you so weird?"

"Oh hi Cristina. I'm fine, how are you? So great to see you too." Meredith sarcastically replied.

"Sorry that I skipped the greetings, I just wanted to know what was wrong."

"Oh nothing, just another day in paradise. Only I think my mother is sick. Or getting that way."

"Mer, every one gets the flu occasionally nothing to worry over."

"No I mean like mentally unstable, sick. She was fighting me and forgot what she was saying, and who I was, and then when I said she should see a doctor, it's like it all came back."

"I don't see how you worry about that woman so much. She's horrible to you."

"She's all I got."

"You got me."

"That's right Cris, I do have you." Meredith half said, thinking about the 1st time she met her best friend back in Kindergarden....

Christina was the only person in the world who understood Meredith, and she couldn't be more grateful. Ever since that 1st day of Kindergarden...

"JUST GET OUT OF MY CAR MEREDITH, I HAVE THINGS TO DO!!!" Ellis went wild on her 5 year old on her first day of Kindergarden and meredith didn't do anything wrong.

"Bye mommy. I love-" Meredith was sobbing before school even started. She tried to tell her mother she loved her but was cut off by the door slamming in her face. She ran off to class with the Hannah Montana backpack her nanny had bought her.

Once inside the classroom, and her cheeks stained from tears, a small korean girl came up to her and said, "Why ya cryin'? It's only the 1st day."

"My mommy doesn't love me." A young meredith squeaked trying to hold back tears.

"Well forget her, I'll love ya, forever." They were friends ever since and Meredith was so grateful because she had someone to vent to and just drink with on horrible days.

She was snapped from her daydream by hearing the bell ding 3 times indicating it was time for class.

"So I'll see you after French 4?" Meredith asked.

"Yeah. Where are we going for lunch today"

"Pizza Hut?"

"Why not. See you later." And off they went.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I love pizza!" Meredith squealed as they ate the last few bites of their large cheese pizza.

'I can tell. You ate almost all of it!"

"Well you didn't get it fast enough,. and I was hungry." She winked at her friend.

"Well I hope your full because class starts again soon and we can't be late."

"Oh dang. Lets go."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Meredith Grey to the office please." A monotone voice came over the PA in Meredith's AP Physics class.

"Miss Grey, clean up your lab then head on down to the office."

"Okay Mr. Leasson." SHe cleaned up her lab swiftly and dashed to the office , wondering what she did.

"Miss Grey?"

"Yes Principal Johnson?"

"Can you step in here please" He said motioning to the empty conference room. She knew something was up.

"So umm Meredith, can I call you Meredith?" A tall gorgeous blonde said from the corner.

"Um sure, who are you?"

"I work with nursing homes and deliver news of new admittance to families and loved ones and we tracked all over and your Ellis Grey's only family?"

"If you knew her you'd get it. But yes, why is she in a nursing home?"

"Your mother is very sick. She is developing Alzheimer's disease at a rapid rate and we want to make sure she can be monitored and checked up on so it's safer for her here."

"Of course. Anything. Do I need to sign anything? Or can I go?"

"Just sign this consent form and your free to go. Your taking this very well Meredith."

"Well when you live like I do, you have to deal with stress a lot."

"Well if you ever need someone... I'm here."

"Umm hanks, but no thanks. I'll be fine."

"Okay well your mother has been moved into our facility so the house is yours."

"What about the bills? I only work 5 days a week."

"Taken care of. Your gonna be okay."

"Okay, thanks. Bye."

"Goodbye Meredith."

After a long and grooling day at school, Meredith went home and sunk down into her couch, eating popcorn while watching last nights American Idol on Tivo.

"I bet Kris Allen's mom isn't mentally screwed." She grunted under her breath, more shocked than anything that she was right about her mother's illness. A big slap in the face on Ellis's part. She was wrong for once. Even though she'd never show it. Or admit to it.

"Whatever. At least I have the house to... Yawn. myself." She noted to herself. Then fell asleep.

A/N: So are my re-do's better? I'll do chapter 3 re-do tomorrow because I'm about to fall asleep, and I have school tomorrow. TGIF! Well tomorrow will be friday.. :) So review??
