L is for Love
Meredith was lay in her bed staring at the ceiling, she was due to go to work in a few minutes, but she didn't want to. Last night she was supposed to go out for dinner, with Derek but his wife, who she didn't know about, turned up and ruined it. She really thought he was the one, she thought he was the one she was going to spend the rest of her life with, but little did she know how wrong she was. He never even mentioned that he was married.
She left it until the very last minute before getting up and getting ready for work. She pulled up in the hospital car park and climbed out her car. As she got out a car pulled up beside her and Derek jumped out and tried to talk to her
'Meredith!' He called after her as she walked away, 'Meredith please let me explain'
'Explain what? The fact that you are married, that you never told me that you are married. You let me believe that you could be the one, I loved you' Meredith cried at him
'Meredith, believe me. I'm sorry. I didn't know she was going to turn up here, I was going to tell you. I was when the time was right'
Meredith looked at him in the eyes before turning and walking away. He stood still and couldn't move, had he really ruined everything he had with her?
Meredith requested to work in the ER today as it is the least likely place she will run into Derek. Meanwhile in another part of the hospital, Addison walked over to Derek
'Derek…'
'Addison what are you doing here?' Derek said not even looking at her
'Richard called me to help out on a case, but I also thought we could talk. we could sort all this out between us and move on'
'I have moved on Addison, I'm with Meredith now and I'm happy' Derek told her, 'Or I was until you turned up and you have probably ruined everything for us now. I hadn't had chance to tell her about you yet, but I was going to'
'Derek please, I am sorry about everything that happened'
'Leave me alone Addison, and leave Meredith alone' Derek walked away from Addison, he didn't want to spend any time with her. he just wanted her to leave Seattle.
Meredith had a fast day, one patient after another, and thankfully she didn't run into Derek or his wife. She still couldn't believe that he was married, she was a home wrecker. She finished her shift and went to the locker room to change, she avoided all questions from the other interns and especially Cristina. She did really love Derek, she knew he was the one. She had to fight for him, he couldn't go back to his wife. She headed upstairs to find him
'Derek, I think we need to talk' Meredith said walking over to him
'Meredith, thank god'
'Derek please just listen. I don't know why you didn't tell me you were married, you had so many chances to. I really thought you were the one that I would be with forever, I do love you, but you have a wife. I can't be a home wrecker, I watched someone ruin my parent's marriage and I can't do that to another couple' Meredith began to tear up, 'I don't know what you plan to do next or who you want to be with. But I want you to know that I love you, and if you chose me then I can get over you not telling me'
'Meredith, I love you too. I honestly was going to tell you, I just didn't know when or how to tell you. I don't want to go back to Addison, she broke my heart. She broke our marriage and I have moved on. I'm happy now with you, and it's you that I want to be with'
'Is she staying here?'
'I don't know, I'm going to talk to her. See how long she is here for and sort out a divorce'
'Thank you, Derek'
'Will you come with me? I want you by my side the whole time?'
'Yes, okay'
Meredith and Derek made their way to find Addison, who turned out to be in the attendings lounge. And she was alone, so it was a good time to talk to her and sort everything out.
'We need to talk Addison' Derek said walking in followed my Meredith
'What is she doing here?'
'I want her here, she has done nothing wrong' They sat down opposite her
'How long are you here?' Derek asked her
'I'm consulting on a case for Richard, but then I think I am going back to New York' Addison said
'Before you go back to New York, we need to sort out a divorce'
'What?' Addison said shocked
'You didn't think he wouldn't want a divorce, did you?' Meredith asked
'Why are you here?' Addison shot to her
'Derek wanted me here'
'Right, Addison. I want a divorce then you can be out of my life and I can move on' Derek said standing up and taking Meredith's hand before walking out. Meredith could tell that he really loved her, she was the one he wanted to be with.
She was in LOVE
