AN: Sorry about the lack of these. I pretty much forgot to write one every time, like twice, I've posted. Anyway, so this is my first attempt at this. I don't really know where this is going, but it will probably have 10 or so more chapters, and they will all probably be short like this. If I wrote longer chapters, I've never update, so this is probably best for everyone. Lots of probably. No Mer/Der this chapter, but the next chapter should have lots.

"So, Meredith, do you want to talk about this? I really think it's something we should talk about. He is married you know. So we should talk about it, right?" Izzie harassed during the car ride home.

"Izzie, shut up, you sound like George," Meredith snapped, not taking her eyes off the road.

"Yeah, and thanks to you, George isn't here to sound like that."

Meredith rolled her eyes as she pulled into the driveway. "I get it Iz, I'm a whore and I do terrible things. I did a terrible thing with George and I did a terrible thing today. It's not really anything that needs to be discussed." She slammed the door with more force than was necessary.

"It does need to be discussed, though. I'm your friend, your roommate, you can talk to me about this. Did you see him today? After, well you know . . ."

"Thankfully no. I was on a case with Burke, and I took the stairs all day. Dodged him in the hallway a few times though." Meredith walked up the stairs to her room, looking forward to finally escaping Izzy.

"Meredith, come on, tell me how it happened. What did he say afterwards?" Izzie asked, refusing to let Meredith shut her bedroom door.

Meredith felt her eyes fill with tears. Izzie's face was bright with anticipation. My friends all love this soap opera that's my life. It was a mildly depressing thought.

"I was sleeping, he kissed me, and after he told me . . ." she hesitated, "that he loves me," she spat out quickly before slamming the door and bursting into tears again.

"Denny told me that he loves me too."

"Really! When? Why didn't you tell me?" Meredith demanded. Izzie had broken into her room when she heard her crying, and now they were laying on her bed, George's spot between them an empty void .

"It was last week. I can't really believe it myself. But I said it back today. I said I wasn't going to fall for a patient. I really wasn't going to."

"Well, I wasn't going to fall for my married boss either."

They laid in silence for a few minutes before Meredith broke it. "He didn't actually say that he loves me. I mean, it was implied, but he didn't say the words. He said that the woman he loves lives in a different house."

Izzie smiled. "It's the same thing, Mer. McDreamy's in love with you."

Just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse. The worst part about it was that she knew beyond doubt that Izzy was right.
