Chapter 13: Somebody Like You

Meredith just drove her car. She had no idea where she was driving too but she was driving away from the hospital. She almost got into an accident when she realized she was driving without her license on her and she had left work in the middle of her shift. That is when her pager went off. It was Bailey, which meant Meredith was in a lot of trouble. She picked up her cell phone and called Bailey.

"You paged?"

"Where in God's name are you Grey? Do you think it is alright to disappear in the middle of a shift?"

"No"

"Then wherever the hell you are get your ass back to this hospital now! You are supposed to be finishing setting up for the prom"

"Actually I should be scrubbing in with Dr. Shepard but since he is a jackass I am not"

"So wait a minute you left the hospital because you and Derek got in a fight"

Meredith froze, "Uh no…"

"Meredith Grey once you get back to the hospital you can finish blowing up balloons for the prom; you are banned from the OR for the next month"

"What! That is so unfair; you can't do that"

"I just did. Get your ass back to the hospital"

Meredith turned her car around and headed back to Seattle Grace. She went back up to the OR floor to find Dr. Bailey.

"Grey get back down to your locker room and blow up those balloons. Get off the floor I just banned you from"

Meredith turned around and went back to the locker room where Izzie was doing the balloons.

"Hey Izz, I have to help"

"What did you do?"

"Nothing"

"Come on Mer, what did you do to get stuck blowing up balloons in the locker room with me?"

"I got in a fight with Shepard and I left the hospital"

"You left?"

"Yeah, got in my car and drove away. Oh and I am banned from the OR for a month, I am not even supposed to go on the OR floor"

"Sucks"

"Tell me about it"

They blew up balloons all afternoon and then Izzie went to check on Denny and Meredith went to find Marc. He was standing in front of the OR board. She walked up behind him and wrapped her little arms around his waist. He turned around and kissed her.

"How is your day?"

"Terrible, I got banned from the OR for a month."

"For what?"

"Being late, mouthing off to Bailey." She lied, but she wasn't going to tell him about her fight with Derek. "How is your day?"

"Slow, there are like no good plastic cases in Seattle"

"It will get better, I promise."

"Okay, well if you say so."

They stood there reading the OR board for a while until Marc spoke up again

"Meredith…"

"Yes?"

"Will you go to the prom with me?"

She looked at him and smiled. He loved how she smiled; it gave her face that look of childish innocence. She had the most beautiful smile of any woman he had ever met.

"Yes Marc I will go to the prom with you"

"Look I am done working for the day so…"

"We can go home now"

"Okay"

They walked down to the locker room for Meredith to get changed and left the hospital hand-in-hand.

and I'm letting go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
now there's just one thing the only thing I want to do
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
I want to feel the sunshine
shining down on me and you
when you put your arms around me
babe you let me know there is nothing in this world I can't do
