Dereks POV

I know he said to leave her alone today but it was almost time to go and I knew that she would be done soon. So why not go and keep her company for a few minutes. I had both of our jackets since it was geting cold out and I was sure she would want to leave right away once he got there. I had stayed after with my math teacher just so I would be able to drive her home. I hope she is almost ready to go We were suppost to meet Christina in the front to give her a ride home. I reached the door which was closed. I opened it quietly so as not to disturb anyone who was working. I didn't see anyone in the student desks so I opened the door a little more and looked towards his desk.

My heart fell. I could hear Meredith from behind the desk. Mr.Lee was zipping up his pants. I relized imediatly and I don't even remember how I got to him but he still had his back to me so I fercily turned him around and punched him as hard as I could in the face. He seemed suprised as he fell to the floor clutching his face. I didn't know if I had nocked him out or if he just stayed down trying not to get hit again.

I went over to Meredith who didn't even seem to notice that I had entered the room. Her face was drenched with tears with her eyes tightly closed.

But if you can look in my eyes
And tell me we'll be alright

I neeled down to her and wrapped my arms around her and she started to fight back hard punching and kicking me where ever she could. "Mer its me. Mer its derek. Look at me" she slowly and causiously opened her eyes and he could see her puffy and red eyes felling so sorry for pushing her into it.

If you promise never to leave

You might just make me believe

"I'm right here. I'm not going to leave" As I said that she put her arms around my shoulders. Her tears seemed to come faster. I covered her up as best I could with our jackets.

I used to believe in us

When times got tough

As we walked out of the room she seemed to relax but the tears kept comeing. I didn't really know where I was going but I saw Denny, Izzy, George and Christina laughing until they saw me carring Meredith. Denny and George put down their stuff and ran when I said "Mr.Lee" Christina and Izzy just walked beside me as we walked towards the one room Meredith would feel safe in.

Lately I'm afraid that even love is not enough

It was then that I noticed the amount of blood covering her golden hair and the limpness of her body. She was unconcious. As I opened the door I hered her say "Sorry but I am about to leave." She was looking at papers and didn't relize what had just came into her room. "Derek what happened." she said sounding concerened. I put her down on the floor making sure to keep her head off it and said "Mr.Lee." She was starting to come around and starting to cry as she did. I was going to go back to Mr.Lees room but Meredith would not let go of me. "Meredith I will be right back. I won't let him get away." She just nodded then said very quietly through the tears "Thank you for showing up." I kissed her lightly on the lips as I started to let myself cry and said "I will always show up." I looked towards Mrs.Harrison, who was on the phone calling the office, and she just gave a nod meaning that she would look after her.
