Meredith found the perfect dress to wear to dinner with Mark. She was looking forward to spending the evening with him. She wasn't going to pressure him in to declaring his love for her anymore. She didn't care how he felt. She was satisfied knowing that she was in love with him.

As she drove back to the house she knew that she would be waking up next to Mark once again.

She pulled into the driveway and grabbed her bag out of the back seat. She ran up to the door as she started to unlock the door she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. She turned and looked around. She opened the door and was about to go in when she felt someone's hands on her. She tried to turn around but was pushed to the ground. Quickly she stood up and ran inside. The front door closed and she turned around to see Allan. He was standing there with a big smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. She looked around for her purse. When she fell it flew from her hands.

"Looking for this?" Allan held up her cell phone.

"Addison and Derek will be coming home." she started to walk backwards. She had to get to the phone.

"We will be gone long before they get here. You actually want to involve your pregnant sister?" he asked.

"How did you know?" she asked.

Allan walked closer to her. When she turned to run towards the phone he grabbed her hair and threw her on the ground.

"I told you Meredith not to leave me." he laughed as he kicked her stomach.

Meredith yelled out in pain. She wouldn't continue being his victim. She got up off the ground and ran to the phone. As she picked up the phone she felt something sharp hit her head.

She couldn't hold on the phone and it fell from her hands. She felt dizzy and tried to hold on to the stand. When she fell the stand and light went with her and shattered on the ground.

She wanted to scream out for help. But the darkness over took her and she fought a losing battle.

Allan picked her off of the floor. He put her cell phone in his pocket and opened the front door.
As he carried her to his car he smiled. He couldn't believe that it was so easy. Lucky for him Derek and Addison lived far enough away from any houses.

He placed her on the back seat and climbed into the driver side.

He pulled out of the driveway. So much for having to worry about Mark Sloan. He must have got the pictures that he sent. He knew the pictures would keep him away from Meredith.

They wouldn't be going back to New York. He was smart enough to realize it would be the first place that they would look.

No they were headed somewhere else. A place where they would be alone. They would have their chance to start over. To start fresh in a new place.

Mark pulled into the driveway at the same time as Derek and Addison. He got out of the car cursing himself for taking so long to get ready.

"You are slow" Derek laughed as they walked up to the house.
Addison couldn't shake the feeling she had at the bottom of her stomach. She didn't want to waste time talking to the guys. She wanted to check on her sister. To make sure everything was alright.

Derek opened the door and they all walked in.

Mark looked around and saw the light shattered on the ground.

Addison ran to the stairs "Meredith" she yelled as she ran upstairs.

Mark and Derek followed close behind.

"Meredith" Addison yelled as she walked into her bedroom.

"Where is she?" Addison cried.

Mark was worried when she wasn't in her room. He tried to remain calm for Addison.

"Call her cellphone." Addison yelled.

Mark pulled out his phone and dialed her number.

"Hey it's Meredith leave a message." he heard the recording.

"It went to voice mail" he walked downstairs.

"Maybe we should call the police. It looks like there was a struggle." Derek didn't want to alarm Addison. He knew that it would upset her. At the same time he knew something had taken place at this house.

Mark found the shopping bag beside the closet and picked it up. He pulled out the black dress. "She went out today."

"I told her to stay home." Addison cried.

Derek called the police. "There are on their way." Derek took a hold of Addison and walked her over to sit down.

"Why didn't she listen to me."

Derek looked at his wife. He had to get her to remain calm.

Mark paced around the living room. He should have come straight here after leaving the hospital. He should have done something when she didn't answer the phone. He thought back to the day she left five years earlier.

Mark ran into the house. "Where is she?" he asked Derek.

Derek looked at Mark. He looked like he hadn't slept in days.

"She left this morning." he said.

"Where did she go?" he yelled.

"I'm sorry she went to New York." Derek said.

Mark sat down on the chair defeated. He wanted to beg her to stay. He wanted to tell her that he loved her. He would do anything for her.

In the back of his mind he knew that it was better for her this way. He wouldn't hurt her. She would find someone in New York to love her. Someone who wouldn't end up hurting her.

"Maybe you can catch her before she boards the plane." Derek offered.

"No it's time for me to let her go." he said.

While the cops talked to Derek and Addison. Mark sat on the couch realizing that he should have went after that plane. He waited five years to tell her how he felt. Instead of falling in love with someone who wouldn't hurt her. She met a psycho. It was his fault. He had to find her before Allan had the chance to hurt her again. He stood up and walked over to the cops.

"What can you do?" Mark asked.

"Well, I know it looks like a struggle went on. I understand that it's just that we have nothing else to go on. We don't know for sure that she left on her own or not. We'll have to wait until she has been officially missing for 24 hours. I wish there was more that we could. If you hear from her call us. If not we can place this missing person." office Brown said.

"Something happened to her. She wouldn't just leave like this. Please you have to do something. This Allan guy has been harassing her for days." Addison cried.

"I have a friend in New York. I will have him check out this Allan guy. See if he has heard from Meredith. In the mean time stay close to the phones. She may call" Office Brown said.

Mark clenched his fists. He wouldn't wait for 24 hours. He would find her tonight.
