It was exactly 4 days until Lake Placid. Meredith had 3 days to tell Derek about Addison and Mark. She made a deadline that she would tell Derek before Lake Placid. It has been 1 week after the encounter with Addison, One week since she had talked to Derek. This shouldn't bother her, the not talking to Derek thing, but it was. Meredith knew she needed to tell Derek. Meredith hasn't gotten to the rink early since she was caught by Coach Bailey, but today she had to. So that's exactly what Meredith did, she got to the rink early.
For the first half hour Meredith would work on her moves. The second half hour would be spent on her programs; short and long. Then by the time she would be done everyone would be there. She had it all planned out, until she got to the rink and saw the hockey team practicing. They took up the whole rink. Well I guess I can't skate, maybe I'll just sit here and watch. She thought. Meredith got dressed in her warm up suit and went up to the bleachers. She watched all the guys very carefully. They were all very talented. She watched Mark pass to George, George pass to Alex, and Alex pass to the teams lead scorer: Derek Shepherd. Derek scored after the pass. It was an amazing play, to bad it was only practice, if that was during the game they would have definitely just scored. Meredith was in her own little world. She didn't even realize when Alex took a seat next to her until he started talking.
"Hey Mer" Alex said, snapping Meredith out of her day dream.
"Oh hey Alex, what are you doing here, why aren't you on the ice?" replied a confused Meredith.
"Well considering practice is over, I didn't think I had any reason to be on the rink, I just wanted to see what you were still doing here sitting on the bench" Alex was confused; he knew Meredith would want to skate.
"Yeah, sorry I didn't realize practice was over. I'm going to head over to the ice. Nice practice though Alex." Meredith hugged Alex and got up to leave.
"Wait" Yelled Alex. "There's something bugging you, what is it?"
"It's nothing Alex" Meredith wasn't in the mood for this right now.
"That's bull Mer and you know it. Just tell me what's going on" Alex pleaded. He wanted Meredith to be happy.
"Fine, if you had the information that would crush someone would you tell them? I mean if you were going out with Izzie…"
"What going out with Izzie, I don't even like Izzie. Why would you think I liked Izzie?" Alex stuttered.
"First of all you just cut me off, Second it was a hypothetical question and third everyone can see the way you look at Izzie" Meredith hit the nail on the head. Alex was blushing, so Meredith continued.
"Anyway as I was going to say was if you were going out with Izzie, and someone found out she was cheating on you, but not only cheating on you, she was in love with the other person, would you want that person to tell you?" Meredith questioned.
"Meredith what's going on? Is someone cheating on someone?" Alex was confused
"Please Alex just keep this as a hypothetical question." Meredith was nervous. She didn't want Alex to know what was going on.
"Okay, well I would definitely want someone to tell me. I wouldn't want it to get out so that everyone knew. That would just make me more embarrassed." Alex replied
"Thank you Alex. I got to go. I'm going to got skate."
"Alright Mer, you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine" Meredith smiled.
