Chapter 11
Chapter 11
"Maredith, you're going to end this. Right now, or I will personally go up onto that stage and tell the whole hospital, and the TV cameras about...whatever the hell this is."
"Mother…" She snapped
"Meredith Grey, do not test me…"
"Do not test you? What am I, eight? You cannot tell me what to do, and certainly not in my own hospital."
"I will walk up on the stage and ruin both of your lives, and I will do it right now."
Meredith jerked away from me and stormed up to her mother, apparently not at all afraid to get right in her face.
"Are you sure about that? Because if you do that, then I'll be sure to make the press aware of your affair with Richard as well, when he was your boss. They'll have fun with that. Dr. Ellis Grey of Mount Sinai Hospital has affair with former Chief Richard Webber during which time they were both married."
"Screw you Maredith. Don't come crawling back to me when the two of you crash and burn."
Her face was red with anger as she took a huge step forward towards the door, but I gripped her arm tightly, yet not enough to hurt.
"Mer, don't do something you're going to regret later…"
"I...I'm going up there to tell them about us. All of them."
"Meredith, you will hate yourself tomorrow if you do this, and you will hate me even more if I let you." He stated firmly, holding her close despite her anger.
She leaned against me and fell silent, until I heard her quiet sobs and felt her body shake. "This is what I meant when I told you my mother hates me. I was her worst mistake."
"You, you were her best mistake Meredith Grey. Her most beautiful, most amazing mistake."
She leaned in and pressed a kiss to my lips, and then pulled away, tears still streaming down her face, and began to laugh.
"Wh...what's so funny?"
"Oh….I...I have never seen that woman so angry in my entire life…" She gasped between laughs.
I shook my head at her as she wiped mascara stains from her swollen face with a trauma towel.
"Come with me." She grabbed my wrist, suddenly taking off down the dark hospital hallway and rushing through the back exit in her office.
"Where the hell are we going?" I asked, having to practically run to keep pace.
"Somewhere else." She slowed down a little as the heel of her shoe snapped in half.
"Shit, shit shit!"
"Be quiet, Doctor Grey! We don't want people to see us making a run for it…"
"My shoes!"
"Here." I effortlessly lifted her small frame into my arms and continued towards her car.
She started laughing again, giving up on fighting me, to just rest her head on my shoulder.
I lowered her into the passenger seat and shut the door behind myself.
"What are you doing?" She asked, smiling again.
"This…" I began, unable to hold back my own smile. "Is me, showing you exactly what caring looks like."
So that's it for this chapter...do you guys want to see more of Ellis, or should she just leave? Also, do you all want Mer to stay mean a little bit (in a funny way) or just get nice? Thoughts? :)
