Disclaimers: Again I own nothing...
Previously:
The chief enters his office and slams the door shut in their faces.
"That went well, didn't it?"
Mark said hands in his pockets. Addison chuckles.
"Shut up"
Chapter 6: it always comes down to you
Later that night at Joe's:
"Joe, another one"
Addison said raising her now empty glass.
"Coming right up"
A few seconds later he puts her drink in front of her, in that moment Mark walks into the bar.
"Hey Joe, Addison"
"Oh, don't start"
She begins
"Start what Addie?"
He asks with an innocent smile
"That! Sweat talking me!"
"OK, sorry, Dr. Shepperd; would you mind if I sit next to you?"
"Yes, I would mind Dr. Sloane, because you are the one who broke my marriage"
"I take it that she's drunk"
He says to Joe.
"Dude, I don't know, but it's a safe bet to say she's pissed at you"
"Yeah, no kidding"
"Addison, would you like to talk?"
Joe asks her careful not to push her buttons.
"Why should I?"
She asks with her eyes lost.
"'cause it's better when you just let it go"
Mark chimes in
"You say it like it's an easy thing to do"
"It isn't but it's what you've got to do"
Says Joe while whipping an empty glass with a towel
"Yeah, you're right Joe; in fact, I'll go do it right now"
Addison says in a somewhat Izzie-like fashion, getting her things ready to leave.
"Addie you can't drive like this"
Mark says concern obvious in his face and voice
"Fine, then you'll take me home"
"Whoa there fellow, who said I would?"
"I assumed you were offering"
"Yeah, I'll give you a ride home, it's not like you can drive anyhow"
He says a little but more to himself than for her.
"OK, let's go"
She puts a twenty in the counter and leaves with Mark close behind: In the car:
"Hey, how about we put on a show to hurt him even more?"
"Yeah, let's do it"
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, he deserves to suffer just as much as I did"
"Well, if you say so…"
They get to the trailer and put up the show. They start making put, going inside the trailer where Derek is sitting in a chair with the divorce papers next to him on the coffee table. He sees them and waits for them to notice him; since they don't he clears his throat and the love birds break apart.
"Derek!"
They both say
"Yeah"
He looks sad, but not hurt, this doesn't hurt him, because he doesn't love Addison anymore
"Addie, I want a divorce, not because of this, but because I don't love you anymore"
Tears begin to form in her eyes, but she holds them back.
"I understand Derek, Where do I sing?"
"Here"
He points to a line in the papers on the coffee table, she walks over. He gives her a pen and she signs.
"Tomorrow, I'm taking a double shift at the hospital, I think that should give you enough tie to clear your things out"
Derek says far from been his warm, dreamy self.
"Yeah"
She answers looking down
"Good"
He grabs a bag and walks out, leaving Mark consoling a devastated Addison. He gets in his car and drives off not knowing where to go. Few minutes pass and he ends up in front of Meredith's town house.
"Everything always comes down to her"
He thought and got out of the car a smile forming in his handsome features.
A/N: Hey next chapter's last! I know it's too short but I'm hoping for a sequel if you'd like, but it's all up to you. Please review. FYI: When I said steaming I didn't necessarily mean sex, I meant it as anger, the bickering between Addison and Mark is the 'steaming scene'.
