Chapter Nine: The wedding rehearsal
The next day everyone was getting ready to leave for the Rehearsal at Seattle Grace Park and the family rehearsal dinner picnic.
Meredith: I can't believe Addie is getting tomorrow
Mark: I can't believe our trip is almost over
Meredith: Mark, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me. I really appreciate it.
Mark: Mer, I told you before that I don't care. It's my pleasure besides you can thank me in other ways
Meredith: Mark, I know that you like me
Mark: Mer, I'm falling for you
Meredith: You can't fall for me Mark. I love Alex, I always have loved Alex.
Mark: Mer, how can you love Alex after he tried to get Derek to sleep with a stripper? Alex, broke your heart Mer.
Meredith: I know that Mark, it's just that it's Alex. We go way back. I seriously wanted to be Meredith Karev.
Mark: I understand that Mer, but think about it. What if you were to get back together and he broke your heart again
Meredith: I understand what you are trying to say Mark. I appreciate you looking out for me but, this is something I have to do
Derek: Get a move on it you two; I'm getting married in the morning
Mark: We should get going to the park
Meredith: Mark wait, please you have to understand
Mark: I understand plenty Meredith
Mark's thoughts
Damn it! I shouldn't get emotionally involved. I knew I was going to get hurt one way or another. I just wish Meredith would get over Alex and move on. What's it going to take for her to realize that she doesn't love Alex
Meredith's thoughts
I wish Mark would get it through his head that I don't like him like that. I love him of course but, as a friend. He has always been there for me. I just wish he understood that I gave my heart away a long time ago and I never really got it back.
Seattle Grace Park; everyone finished up the rehearsal for the wedding and were now having dinner.
Ellis: I remember the time Addison and Meredith first met.
James: They hated each other from the beginning but, then they soon became attached to the hip.
Ellis: They were always competing when it came to the boys
James: You see Meredith was very friendly towards the boys
Ellis: But, in the end they always got along.
James: Like two peas in a pod
Christina: Whatever Meredith ate. Addie threw up and whatever Addie ate Meredith threw it up
Meredith: After a very long time of eating and throwing up
Addie: We finally learned to get along.
Everyone starts to laugh and they are enjoying all the story sharing and conversation
Meredith: Excuse me
Mark: Where are you going?
Meredith: Just to get more wine, we seem to be low
Alex: Let me help you Meredith
Meredith: Thanks Alex
Alex: So, I wanted to talk to you
Meredith: Okay
Alex: I'm sorry about what happened between us
Meredith: It's okay, Alex. I forgive you
Alex: It's just there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Why I broke off the wedding
Meredith: Alex, relax breathe. Whatever the reason it's okay. I forgive you. I kind of have a confession to make also
Alex: what?
Meredith: I brought Mark with me to torture you,
Alex: Meredith, will you just listen to me
Meredith: What, Alex?
Alex: I slept with Addison
Alex's thoughts
There I finally got it off of my chest now she knows
Meredith's thoughts
What! I can't believe he slept with Addison. When?
