(Meredith's POV)
I was taking a late afternoon nap after Brian and I had gone to the park when I was woken by my phone vibrating, letting me know that I had a new text message. Groaning and rubbing at a sore spot in my neck, I sat up and grabbed the offending piece of technology. When I glanced at the sender ID, I was puzzled: what did Walker want right now?
Mere: Walker, what is it?
I hope that he got that I was unimpressed, even though I didn't intentionally mean to sound that way, but I had just been woken up, and I do not like having my sleep interrupted. I lay back down with my phone resting on my chest, and was just drifting back to sleep again when my phone buzzed once more.
Walker: I'm really sorry Meredith, I'd forgotten you were at Brian's this afternoon.
Mere: Well, what is it?
Walker: Oh, hang on a sec.
I groaned at his reply. If there was anything Walker was good at, it was keeping suspense. I knew to give him at least a minute or so to let him have his little dramatic pause for effect, but I wasn't having any of it today.
Mere: Joe, just tell me!
He didn't reply for a few seconds, but then at last he answered.
Walker: I'm getting there! Geez, did Brian make you sleep on the couch?
I sat there, slightly stunned.
Mere: He didn't make me, we'd sat down to watch a show on TV and I fell asleep: he's in his room. And how did you know that I was on the couch?
I could almost hear him chuckling as I waited for his reply. Then I remembered that he apparently had some big news or something, but I kept getting distracted from the conversation because my phone kept lighting up with various Twitter notifications. I was about to go and check them out when Walker texted me back.
Walker: Righto Mere ;)
Mere: Anyway, why did you wake me up in the first place? I was really enjoying that nap :P
A few moments passed before his reply.
Walker: Go and check your Twitter Mere, I posted something that you all might want to see.
Puzzled (and I'll admit, more than slightly annoyed), I opened my Twitter and searched through my mentions. Finally, I found one from Walker, from about fifteen minutes ago.
FunkWalk: Look who's back! LaurenLopez1, Brian_Holden, Claark, ghostydiddy, julesmariatells, DylanSaunders, DarrenCriss, jaimelynbeatty.
Attached was a photo. I opened it and squealed rather loudly. So loudly that Brian wandered in, looking half-asleep.
"What's going on Mere?" he groaned, rubbing his eyes. Wordlessly, I held up my phone which still had the photo open. We shared an excited glance before I felt my phone vibrate in my hand. I saw that I had a new text from Walker.
Walker: Seen it yet?
Laughing, I sent him a text in reply.
Mere: So THAT's why my phone was going nuts with the Twitter notifications while I was texting you! Ha ha, yeah so's Brian.
Walker: So was that worth being woken up for? Am I forgiven *puppy dog eyes*
Mere: *mock exasperated sigh* I could have done without being woken up, but yeah, it was worth it :) As for forgiveness, I'll get back to you on that one :P
Walker: Good enough for me :D
Mere: How is he by the way?
It took a few minutes for him to reply, and when he did, Brian and I had settled on his couch with glasses of water.
Walker: Mostly just tired; he was asleep when I left about 10 minutes ago, but otherwise he seems okay. Just as cheeky and happy as ever. He seemed a bit put out about having to stay in hospital though…..
Brian and I couldn't help but laugh when we read that last comment.
Mere: So nothing's changed ha ha :D Aw, that's good, at least he's awake now. Anyway, I better go, see you tomorrow maybe? Oh, and Brian says hi!
Walker: sure :) Hi to you too Brian!
Sighing happily, I exited the conversation and snuggled into Brian's shoulder for a movie. Things were finally looking up it seemed.
