Hey,

I have a new chapter to a story, I haven't written any to in a long time. I'm very sorry about that. This is a new short chapter. The next chapter will be the release of the album, and specially more about Callie. Everything will become 1 story, and every character will meet. This chapter and the next, will be chapters telling that.

Enjoy,

Tempe Eller (Ellen)


4. The album that brought them together

Vanessa was singing, her guitar was placed against her body. The lyrics seemed to get there. Just like that. Her words were going trough the studio.

"Ohh

Here I am

Feels like the walls are closing in

Once again it's time to face it and be strong

I wanna do the right thing now

I know it's up to me some how

I've lost my way

If I could take it all back I would now

I never meant to let you all down

And now I've got to try to turn it all around

And figure out how to fix this

I know there's a way so I promise

I'm gonna clean up this mess I made

Maybe It's not to late

Maybe it's not to late oh

Meredith entered the studio, hanging against the music equipment. She stared at her. Her eyes were half closed. She never heard anyone sing like that. She slowly put her head against the music installation. Meredith slowly walked closer. She sat down next to Vanessa. Slowly reading the lyrics. Her voice sang along with the melody.

So I'll take a stand

Even though it's complicated

If I can I wanna change the way I've made it

I gotta do the right thing now

I know it's up to me some how

I'll find my way

If I could take it all back I would now

I never meant to let you all down

And now I've got to try to turn it all around

And figure out how to fix this

I know there's a way so I promise

I'm gonna clean up the mess I made

Maybe It's not to late

I'm gonna find the strength

To be the one who that holds it all together

Show you that I'm sorry

But I know that we can make it better

If I could take it all back I would now

I never meant to let you all down

And now I've got to try to turn it all around

And figure out how to fix this

I know there's a way so I promise

I'm gonna clean up the mess I made

Maybe It's not to late

I never meant to let you all down

Now I've got to try to turn it all around

And figure out how to fix this

I know there's a way so I promise

I'm gonna clean up this mess I made

Maybe It's not to late

Maybe it's not to late oh yeah

"That's a perfect song." Meredith repeated smiling. "How can you make up this song? How come I never found that you were the talent behind my favorite song."

"This album has to be kick ass." Vanessa replied "I mean you've been making. You really think I have talent?"

"Are you joking?" Meredith reacted "If you let me ad the whole album, there would be a number. Hey, Harry Potter. Severus Snape is a sexy beast!"

"You know who's a sexy best?" Vanessa slowly walked to Meredith. "Derek Shepherd the pop singer. I mean he works for another company."

"I have no idea." Meredith replied "Derek Shepherd doesn't give me the time of day. He only listens to albums that are sophisticated. Worthy his ears. Not my pop.."

"Well, when he hears our new album." Vanessa smiled "He'll go crazy. Yelling, Meredith. I love you."

"Don't get any ideas in that head of yours." Meredith replied "You have a boyfriend, but I don't. And I think that will be like that. I mean last boyfriend ended up cheating on me with freaking Addison."

"She can't even act." Vanessa replied "I mean if he cheat on you, with that. You're lucky to lose him. He's not worth your greatness. It's just sad that it had to be turned in such a disaster. I mean you shouldn't have to explain to the media, why you broke it off with him. He's a bastard."

"Derek, is very dreamy." Meredith added. "But he thinks he's so big shot. He'll never go for me."


"Thank you Las Vegas!" Derek Shepherd yelled "That was another fine show, my man."

"Hey, Shepherd!" a woman walked in the room. She had red hair. The hair that belonged to Addison Montgomery. "Derek, it's been so long!"

"hello, Addison" Derek whispered "What the hell are you doing here?"

" Can't I at least visit my best friend without any reason." Addison replied "I mean I never have any extra reason for seeing you, do I?"

"You got fired once more again?" Derek stared at her. "I mean after Seattle 98101. And then you go fired from bewitched, and now Mr. and Mrs. Sloan is cancelled?"

"It's not cancelled." Addison replied "I just came to see you, because you're my best friend. We're all bad people, Derek. But I just wanted to see my friend. That and I'm starring on Vampires of Waverly place, that show with Izzie Stevens. I mean I think I'm turning my life around."

"Good." Derek replied "Good for you. Who do you play?"

"Vampire Emma." Addison replied "A vampire with high hopes to get an affair with the two faced uncle."


"I want another trailer!" April Kepner yelled "I want that one of Izzie Stevens, the ratings of my show are higher. So I want a bigger, I am a top selling artist. My latest DVD's have sold more then Izzie's. And I want a.."

"I want, I want.." Izzie reacted "I need, I need. You bitch!"

"I'm the number one tween sensation Lana London." April replied "You shouldn't be talking to me like that."

"1 Meredith Grey is the number one tween sensation." Izzie rolled her eyes. "Two, your music makes my ears bleed. Very much bleeding. I should show you, right?"

"April is taking your trailer." her boss said. Both April and the boss walked away.

"bigger trailer?" Olivia was standing next to her. "I lost part of my trailer to. She's such a bitch."

"It is, we have a great show." Izzie replied "I mean 'Vampires of Waverly place is great, and Olivia with a syringe is a classic. And you even had to learn how to be a nurse. It's not fair."

"Meredith Grey, is the best singer." Olivia replied "If we could get Meredith on either of our shows, we're going to make our show more popular then Kepners."


"So, that makes 7 songs." Meredith replied "Awesome. We're going to get this album finished."

"So.." Vanessa stared at her. "I got a song, that could be great. But it's kind of a duet."

"We'll do it together." Meredith reacted "You've got a great voice, and you need to be on the album. Since you're my sister, and then I can tell who wrote the songs. Sing it now!"

"Okay." Vanessa took her guitar from next to her. She slowly touched the strings.

They say that life is a two-way street

When you're not sure, you gotta trust your feet

To know the right way

You can keep on moving with your head down

Or you can stop and take a look around

And that's the choice I've made

(I've made, yeah)

It's for that movie inside your head

Making memories we can't forget

But when you can't forget

You're gonna know in your soul

This is what we came here for

So live it loud, here and now

This moment, it won't be ignored

So why not open up that door?

It's what we came here for

For every song we let play ouide

The melodies we get to write

Every time we sing, oh yeah

The friends we've made, the fun we've had

Remembering's gonna make me laugh

It's a beautiful thing

(So beautiful)

I wanna send it around the world

(Around the world)

'Cause everybody should feel this good

'Cause when you feel this good

You're gonna know in your soul

This is what we came here for

(This is what we came here for)

So live it loud, here and now

This moment, it won't be ignored

So why not open up that door?

It's what we came here for

No, the fun's just getting started

Just celebrating where we are

And loving where we are

You're gonna know in your soul

This is what we came here for

So live it loud, here and now

This moment, it won't be ignored

You're gonna know in your soul

This is what we came here for

So live it loud, here and now

This moment, it won't be ignored

(And we'll )

So why not open up that door?

(Open up that door)

So come on; open up that door

It's what we came here, oh yeah

It's what we came here for

It's what we came here

Came here for

"That's so awesome." Meredith replied "I mean really, that sounded so great. We should really tape it. It would make an awesome song. A very nice song."

"Really?" Vanessa replied "This was one of the songs, that people hated. I mean they said I looked like you, and then they said I couldn't sing."

"People are deaf." Meredith replied "Very deaf."

"I have another song, if you liked that." Leyla took the guitar again.

We're like a melody with no words

Until we figure it out

We sing

La, la, la, la, la, la

I know it's simple yeah but it's worked right up till now i up to now

yeah every day has been like a dream world oh but now or not just

in my head oh no

Will we remember different summers

It's like tossing our hear to see where they land

Heads is easy

Tails is harder to plan

If we're starting all over again and again and again

You know that I can't help but wonder

What's gonna happen next

I'm a little curious, oh yeah

Every star that I stood under

When you were under it too

Did you ever think about us?

I hope you did, 'cause I can tell you

That's something I'll never forget

I won't forget

If we remember different summers

It's like tossing your heart to see where it lands

Heads is easy

Tails is harder to plan

If we're starting all over again

Don't need friends just beginning but i hope we will find it again so

again go from here oh

Will we remember different summers

It's like tossing our hear to see where it lands

Heads is easy

Tails is harder to plan

If we're starting all over again again and again and again and again

and again and again and again

Will we remember different summers?

"That sounded great." Meredith smiled "I think we'll have a top album. Another top album. Better, older people are going to buy my albums. Your songs speak to so much people."

"Thanks." Vanessa replied "But I do need money, I mean I had to drop my daytime jobs. Dad is has CTS, so he can't work. I have to see that enough money comes in."

"I'll take care of you two." Meredith added. "you're my sister, he was my step father. You two are the only two people that I ever wanted to help."

"Sisters." Meredith slowly gave her hand.

"Always." Vanessa smiled.


"That was a great show, Callie." Her manager yelled. She slowly walked of the stage.

"It really was." Arizona stared at her. "I love your music. It's so rocky, so sensitive."

"Aren't you one of those goodie tissues?" Callie took her glasses of. "Of what was it? Hmm, Mercy's child? Mercery's child? Something like that."

"Yes." Arizona replied "We.."

"And you're hanging out at a rock concert?" Callie rolled her eyes. "Typical, good girl wants to go bad."

"They tell me that you're a lesbian." Arizona replied

"I'm not going to say that to you, Mercy's bitch." Callie walked past her. "That you can get to say it to every person on the internet. The Rock lesbian chick. Yeah, that's right."

"I was just wondering." Arizona replied "I'm a lesbian, no body knows about me. I'm just.. Teddy doesn't want me to tell, she thinks that it will make us less popular. There are strict rules."

"Strict rules?" Callie slowly took a cigarette.

"You do know that smoking is bad for your health." Arizona threw the cigarette on the floor.

"I'm counting on it." Callie replied "You never imagined in your little head how much life sucks. Dead would be more mercy."

"My brother went to Iraq." Arizona replied "I had to go and recognize his body. I think I know how much life sucks. I know how it sucks, and I don't complain."

"Because you sing pop music." Callie replied "I try to change music.."

"One dead body at the time?" Arizona turned around. "I thought you would understand about being different. I thought you would like to talk to me. People don't see the real me, I hoped you would like to."

"Okay." Callie pointed to the chair. "Sit down. You got trough security. I guess you can stay."

"Thanks." Arizona sat down. "I love your songs. Your deep."

"personally." Callie smiled "I think Voldemort is my bitch, is our greatest song ever written."

"Voldemort is your bitch?" Arizona replied "That's what I like about your songs, you're not afraid what they'll think of you. Unlike Meredith Grey, who's been making crap for the last .. Ever!"

"Yeah, she has." Callie replied "Nice girl by the way. Bad song writer, I heard she fired the dude. And now another chick is working for her. Her new album will be like better."

"I'll believe, that when I hear it." Arizona replied "But I was talking about. The song that helped me over the dead of my brother. Dead honest. It helped me so much."

"I wrote it when my friend died." Callie replied "I'm glad it helped you."

"You are very nice." Arizona smiled "Why don't you show that more often?"

"Because I'm a rock chick." Callie replied "I'm suppose to be badass."

"You're suppose to be yourself." Arizona replied "You're playing a little part!"

"So are you!" Callie yelled "Little miss goodie tissue 2010"


"We're done!" Meredith yelled "We're done with the album. 22 numbers, in less then 2 weeks. And the album is ready to be sold. You'll see, working day and night has given us a kick ass album."

"New me." Vanessa smiled "That rocks! When will this album be released."

"Two weeks." Meredith added "And I'll have to tour. You have to play guitar. You have to get in my band."

"I'm just going to be your song writer." Vanessa replied "But excuse me, I'm going to learn some music classes. And science. Cause I got a test on Monday. And I haven't even studied."

"That doesn't sound like you." Meredith walked behind her. "Need help, I'm good at math."

"You can help." Vanessa replied "You'll have to go home with me, my books are all home. I'll have to pick up diner, my father hasn't eaten today. And he needs some energy."

"True." Meredith added. "So, what now?"

A couple hours later, Meredith and Vanessa walked trough the doors of the very small house. Vanessa turned the key around. She slowly opened the very small door.

" Nessie." her father was staring at the TV. "Meredith."

"We're done with our album." Meredith replied "And we have some diner with us. Pizza."

"Good." he sat down. "It's nice to see you again, Meredith. I'm glad you and Nes made up. Since she's been very lonely, I like that friend of hers. Her boyfriend, Jackson isn't his name?"

"Yes, my boyfriends name is Jackson." Vanessa replied "We know that by now. Right!"

"So we got a copy of the new album." Meredith popped in the CD. "And it's awesome. Even Severus Snape will love it, I mean it's his kind of music."

"We don't have the song, I hate Harry Potter." Vanessa replied
