Meredith was downstairs in the kitchen, when Noah came out of the bathroom after she "finished up". Noah's stomach felt empty so she decided that it would be her best intentions to just go to the kitchen and see if there was something to eat down there. She knew the hectic life of a surgeon and thought that there probably wouldn't be.

When Noah walked into the kitchen, Meredith turned around a glared. Noah took a step back when Meredith thought about Jackson and Whoville.

"Hi" she said politely, with a smile in her face. Noah expression told it all, she was confused, "How was your sleep?"

"I actually haven't had any sleep yet," Noah smiled. Why was Meredith being so nice?

"Oh," she frowned, "Well then maybe you should get some. Is there anything you needed help with?"

Noah's stomach growled, "Actually I wouldn't mind if I could get something to eat?"

"Sure," Meredith laughed, "Derek always did talk about you and your stomach. What would you like?"

Noah laughed, "We have these in Vancouver, so do you have"-

"You're from Vancouver?" Meredith interrupted, "I've always wondered what it was like there."

"Rainy," Noah and Meredith laughed. Noah smiled; Meredith was becoming her friend.

"So, what's your life like there?" Meredith asked. It was an awkward question, but Noah felt fine answering it because of Meredith's smile.

"Well, there's James," Noah said, "And then some of my friends from the hospital. Not much."

"Oh, who is James," Meredith said interested. Noah took a look at her and to her surprise Meredith was actually interested in her life.

"James is my roommate, kind of," Noah stuttered, "He wanted a relationship, but I didn't. And the funny part is he's the nicest guy in the world. I don't know why I said no. That sandy blond guy is just so hard to resist for everyone, but me." Meredith was immediately hooked, James sounded just like Finn, and she remember how much she was in love with him. "He's coming down this weekend."

"Oh," said Meredith, "We should invite him to stay here."

"Yeah, it's my birthday so he decided if I couldn't come to him, he would come to me," Noah smiled, "Well; I have to get some sleep."

"Sure," Meredith laughed, "Have a nice night."

"You too," Noah replied as she headed upstairs. But, before she went to bed, she would have to say something to Derek.

"Hey Der," said Noah as she peaked into his room, "I'm really sorry about what happened today. I didn't mean to turn around."

"It's okay," said Derek, "What were you two talking about?"

"My birthday, and my life," Noah said, "Wait; I am such a... idiot! I didn't ask anything about her! Oh My Gosh!"

"Its fine," Derek said, "Do you think she is coming back in here?"

"I don't know," Noah hung her head, "But, I'll stay in here for a while."

Then Noah jumped onto the bed, not noticing that Derek did not put his clothes on yet. "This is nice."

"Oh yes," said Derek, "Just me and you."

Now they were both staring at the ceiling, Noah turned to look at Noah, Derek turned to face Noah, and then they kissed.

"No," Noah said as she pulled away from Derek, "Were not repeating what happening in high school. Derek, I'm four years younger than you. This is not happening; I'm not ruining your marriage."

Derek's face was now serious, "I know. We can't let the tension get to us. We have to remember what happened last time."

"Last time Der," Noah cried, "You found Addison and I stayed away from James as long as I could for you. I always thought you loved me, but I'm more like your sister, not your girlfriend."

"I'm sorry," Derek apologized.

"I'm not the one you should be saying sorry to." Noah said as she pointed to the door.

Then Derek stood up, revealing everything, and threw his boxers on.

Noah was left to think about high school and her relationship with Derek.

Noah and Derek walked into school on the first day of school hand in hand. They had started dating nearly three months ago. Derek was in grade twelve and Noah in grade nine. Noah was so happy to have Derek there, and for him to be her boyfriend.

"Got your schedule?" Derek asked as Noah reached her locker, "Now, have a great day and remember, I love you."

"I love you too," replied Noah as Derek gave her a kiss on the cheek and left.

Graduation

Noah was at Derek's graduation, sitting front row with his mom and sisters. She was approved by everyone in the family, but Amelia who thought it was weird that her best friend was dating her brother.

After graduation, Derek cornered Noah, but not in a bad way, he just really needed to talk to her without anyone around. They had been dating for a year, and Noah thought that this meant that Derek was ready to take the next move. She would simply say no if it came to that.

"Noah," Derek said gently placing his hands on her shoulders, "You have to understand that now I am going to med school and as much as I wish you could be with me, you can't. I hate to do this, but I think we have to break up."

"What?" said Noah, tears forming in her eyes, "No, no, I'll wait."

"Noah," Derek said, "You're bound to find someone else that you are in love with and so am I. It's for the best, for both of us."

"I'll wait for you Derek," Noah said, "I'll wait forever if that is what it takes."

"Noah," Derek said, "It's for the best."

Noah cried as Derek gave her a final kiss and then let go of her, forever. The next time Noah heard from Derek, he was getting married to Addison.

"There is no such thing as love," Noah whispered as she headed back to her room, "Not one bit."
