Starting Fresh
So I decided to skip ahead a bit, because I have a feeling my story is getting boring
Here is something you should know:
1. Meredith and Mark are out of the hospital without any injuries.
2. They have been dating secretly for about two weeks.
3. Only Meredith's friends know that Mark and Meredith have been dating.
4. Derek and Rose have been on a couple of dates.
5. Derek still misses Meredith, but also still thinks that she'll never be ready for what he wants.
Two weeks later...
"ALEX!! If you don't get you're ass down here in 5 seconds, we're leaving without you!" Meredith yelled.
"Dude, relax I'll be down in a minute!" Alex yelled back.
"One!"
"I'm coming!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Relax, I said I was coming!"
"Four!"
"Alright, alright I'm here." Alex said, while running down the stairs.
"Come on, let's go" Meredith said, and walked out of the door with Izzie and Alex right behind her.
--
Meredith, Alex, Cristina and Izzie were all in the residents lounge.
"So, Mer, how are you and McSteamy?" Izzie asked in a quit voice just to make sure none of the other residents would hear.
"We're fine, why?" Meredith asked.
"It's just that it's the first time in about two weeks that you've driven with us to work, and not Mark."
"What's you're point, Iz?"
"Are you getting serious?"
"WHAT!? Are you crazy we've only been dating for two weeks, and besides the Chief and Bailey don't even know" Meredith said.
Izzie was about to reply, when Bailey came in.
"Alright everybody, here are you're assignments: Karev you're with Hahn, Yang: Shepherd, Stevens you're with me, and Grey: Sloan." Bailey said.
"What are you still doing here? There are lives to be saved, and if you don't move NOW, you'll all be down in the pit for the rest of the week!" Bailey said in an angry voice.
That got them moving. Alex, Cristina and Meredith practically ran out the door, while Izzie stayed, because she was assigned to Bailey.

Meredith and Cristina were walking together down the hallway, when they spotted Derek and Mark.
Derek saw them coming, and couldn't help but stare at Meredith.
Cristina saw the way Derek looked at Meredith, and she knew that he still loved her. She also knew that Meredith still loved him, because love doesn't go away just like that. But most importantly she knew that Mark and Meredith really liked each other, and that Meredith had been all Bright and Shiny ever since her and Mark had started going out, and she would not let Derek ruin her person AGAIN.
"Hey, Mer headset up McDreamy and McSteamy ten o'clock." Cristina said.
Meredith looked up, and saw Derek stare at her. She quickly looked away, and stopped walking.
"Mer, I know you don't want to talk to him, or have anything to do with him, but you have to talk to him at some point" Cristina said.
"I know, but it's not that simple" Meredith said.
"Why not?" Cristina asked.
"Because, look who he's standing with" Meredith said.
Cristina looked over where Derek stood, and saw Mark behind him, and that was when she understood.
"Oh," was the only thing Cristina said.
"Yeah," Meredith said.
After a little while Cristina said, "Okay, listen this is what we're going to do." She took a little breath before continuing.
"I'll go first, and then I'm sure that Shepherd will give me a case, and then we will leave to meet the patient, and then you and McSteamy can do whatever you want, well except for ´you know what´," she said the last thing with a smirk.
"Shut up" was the only thing Meredith said, before hiding a bit, just be on the save side.
"Hello Dr. Shepherd, I'm you're resident today," Cristina said.
"Alright, go prep Mrs. Johnson, and then get ready for the surgery at 10am." Derek said.
"Wait, you're not coming?" Cristina asked with a little concern in her voice.
"No, I'll meet you in the OR" He said.
"Uh, okay" Cristina said, and walked away. She quickly pulled out her phone, and dialed Meredith's number.
Meredith felt her phone vibrate. She looked down on the screen, and saw that it was Cristina.
"Cristina, why the hell did you leave without Derek?" Meredith yelled in a low voice.
"He told me to. He said that I had to go check on the patient, and that he would meet me there" Cristina said.
"Arhh crap" Meredith said.
"Okay, fine I guess I'll just have to face him. I'll see you later, bye" Meredith said.
"Bye" Cristina said, and hung up.
Meredith took a deep breath before walking over to Mark and Derek.
"Hello, Dr. Sloan. I'm you're resident today" Meredith said.
Derek and Mark both turned towards Meredith. She could she the little smile on Marks lips, when he heard that she was his resident.
Derek on the other hand was surprised just to see her. He hadn't really seen her since she was discharged from the hospital. Bailey hadn't let her be on any of his cases, and he new that she had tried her best to avoid him.
"Alright Dr. Grey, lets go" Mark said to Meredith.
Then he turned to Derek and said, "I'll see you later man"
"Yeah later" Derek said, and looked at Meredith and Mark walking away. He didn't really know what it was, but he could tell that there was something different about both of them. They seemed closer to each other then normally.
"Maybe they got closer after the accident" He thought. He wanted them to be close friends, but nothing more. He really hoped that they were ONLY friends.
All kinds of thoughts went through his head, as he went to the OR floor to meet Cristina.
I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, because I defentley enjoyed writing it.
