Christina and Richard watched as Meredith ran out of the ER doors and into the pouring rain. They both looked at each other and shrugged. Bailey came into the ER seconds later and ran over to them.

"Has either of you seen Grey?" she asked, she was out of breath from the running. Meredith was one fast runner and had obviously had a lot of practise at it. She was known for her running.

"Yeah, she just ran outside a minute ago why?" asked Christina concerned for her person.

"Mia died a few minutes ago. I just wanted to make sure she didn't do anything stupid."

"Damn it," cursed Christina. The two women walked out of the ER leaving Richard behind still in shock. Meredith was already broken enough, he hated to think what this could do to her. He needed to talk to her. To make sure, like Bailey had said, that she didn't do anything stupid. He walked up to the stairways and slowly made his way to the roof, knowing that the roof would be the one place that she would be if she was still in the hospital grounds.

********************

Christina and Bailey walked out of the ER doors and looked around outside. It was pouring with rain while they looked around searching for Meredith. After a few minutes they walked back to the doors both soaked by the rain.

"Nothing," said Bailey shaking her head glad to get out of the rain.

"Crap," sighed Christina. Hopefully she would have gone home or somewhere where there would be people who could keep her from doing anything stupid. As long as she wasn't alone Christina wouldn't worry. As much. Hopefully she wasn't alone. Hopefully.

Chief looked around as walked onto the roof top, he saw Meredith sat on the ledge looking down over the car park. She was soaked as the rain poured down onto her. He slowly walked over to her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. She flinched at his touch but didn't turn around.

"Meredith," he said softly. When she didn't respond he sat down beside her but with his back facing the car park. "Meredith, this isn't your fault." He slowly started to rub her back which made her breath as she was holding her breath so that he didn't hear her crying.

"She's gone," she whispered. "She's really gone."

"I know, I know," he said soothingly. "Why don't you get off the ledge 'cause you're starting to make me nervous," he joked. She laughed through her tears and swung her legs over the ledge. "It looked as though you'd jump to your death at any minute." She stood up and turned to face him who was still sat on the ledge.

"I was," she said seriously. She saw Richard's shocked face and burst out laughing. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding." She put her head in her hands and wiped away the tears which were now from laughing. Richard stood up and pulled her into a hug.

"You'll be the death of me you know," he said as they pulled apart and walked over to the stairs together. Meredith smiled and wiped away the last remaining tears.

*******************

It had been about two hours since Richard had found Meredith up on the roof. Once they had walked back to the surgical floor Meredith had gone inside one of the on-call rooms saying she wanted to get some sleep before she talked to anyone else. Richard had been stood around the door as if guarding it so that nobody went inside and disturbed her. He had his back to the door but thankfully saw Derek, Izzie, Christina, George and Alex walking towards the door. As they were about to enter he ran over to them.

"Don't go in there," he said sternly. Derek let go of the handle and they all turned to face him.

"Why? We only want to see how she is," said Izzie innocently, the rest nodded.

"How do you think she is? She's just lost one of her godchildren, and anyway she's asleep so I don't want anyone to disturb her." Everyone sighed and began to walk away but heard laughing mixed with crying from the other side of the door.

"That doesn't sound as though she's asleep," said Alex sarcastically. Richard rolled his eyes, he didn't now didn't know if she'd been asleep or not but he hoped that she had. Derek tried the door handle but it was locked and they all sighed once again.

"Meredith?" asked Derek pressing his ear to the door to try and hear if she was okay. "Please open the door," he said after no response. Still there was nothing, it was as though they were just talking to an empty room, they heard nothing. Everyone had tried to get her to come out or open the door or at least talk so that they knew that she was all right.

"Mer, just say something okay?" asked Izzie after a few minutes. They heard a laugh come from behind them.

"You really think that she'll come out if you keep begging like that?" asked the person behind them. They all turned around to see Sadie leaning against the wall. She wasn't crying now but it was obvious that she had been which was expected really.

"You have a better suggestion?" asked Christina sarcastically but her voice also said that she was getting tired. So was everybody as it was now just past seven at night. They watched as Sadie walked up to the door. She took a deep breath and then started banging.

"Meredith Grey you better get your arse out here now!" yelled Sadie causing everybody around them to look at her. "Don't make me call your mother!" They gasped as they heard the small click as the lock opened.

"Too late," Meredith whispered. Sadie opened the door slightly and saw Meredith sat on the bed no longer crying but tear stained cheeks. She down next to her and wrapped one arm around her.

"What you mean?" she asked curiously. Derek, Richard, Christina and Izzie walked into the room silently while Alex and George had decided to give them some time to talk and get some food.

"I called her, I didn't know what to do so I called her," Meredith said softly, she was afraid of what her reaction would be because when they were in collage they had made a promise that they would not talk to their parents again.

"It's okay, I called my dad, so I guess we're even," she laughed trying to make the situation lighter. Meredith smiled and wiped her eyes.

"Death really changes us, it makes us go all weak and mushy," she said stating smile a bit more.

"Sure does, dad said he's sorry but he can't make it up this week but he'll try to come to the funeral," she said shaking her head. "Like hell he will."

"Mum says she's coming up because she wants to see how I'm doing. Like hell she does," Meredith said standing up and then pulling Sadie up too. They both walked out of the room laughing not noticing that Derek, Christina, Richard and Izzie were standing there.

"From that I think they don't like their parents," said Izzie still confused. A few minutes ago Meredith had locked herself in the room crying but now she had just gone off with Sadie laughing about their parents.

"No, I don't think so," said Christina.
