Meredith's head snapped towards Reed in shock. "How could you?" Meredith spat.
"I'm sorry!" Reed cried. "But you need serious help that I can't give you Meredith!"
Meredith clenched her teeth together as one of the cops pulled out his gun and said, "Meredith Grey, you are under arrest."
Meredith felt tears clinging to her eyes as Derek was now watching everything take place with wide eyes. "Reed," Meredith cried. "Look at the gun!"
Reed shook her head in confusion as the cop began to place his handcuffs on one of Meredith's wrists. The two other cops stood guard.
Reed glanced at one of the guns in the cop's hands. Her eyes shot straight open and she cowered in fear. "Get that away from me!" she shrieked and spun around to look at Meredith. "Meredith!" she cried. "I died!"
"What are you talking about?" the cop holding Meredith demanded.
Reed threw herself at him and he tripped back into the other two cops. Reed dissapeard in thin air and Meredith bolted for the door. She ran outside as fast as she could, one of her wrists still locked in the handcuffs, when she felt arms lock around her.
"Let me go!" Meredith cried.
"This is for your own good," a familiar voice replied.
Tears spilled down Meredith's cheeks. "Please Derek! Just let me go!"
She began to thrash around and kick at his ankles. She woulod have usually loved to have his arms around her, but she had to get out of there. She pretended to give up and slumped in his arms.
"I'm sorry," Meredith whispered and then kicked her foot back at his crotch.
Derek growled out in pain and released his arms from her, falling to the ground.
"I'm sorry Derek!" Meredith repeated. "I'm so sorry!"
And then she ran like her life depended on it (which it kind of did). She ran for nearly 30 minutes before she reached her destination. She ditched her sweatshirt that people now knew she was wearing and then walked into the building. Her mother was sitting in the waiting area like she always was.
"Hi mom," Meredith whispered, sitting across from her.
"Do I know you?" Ellis asked.
Meredith shook her head slowly. "Right now you don't. I'm just a pperson who needs advice. I thought maybe you could give me some."
Ellis sat a bit straighter in her chair, tapping her fingers constantly against her knees. "Is it medical advice? I'm a doctor... I think."
Meredith swallowed hard. "Yes," she said. "And you are a doctor."
"Okay," Ellis said. "Tell me."
Meredith thought it over for a moment. "Well there's this... liver."
"Mhm," Ellis said.
"It's in the wrong... part of the body, though it knows where it's meant to be. But all the other organs don't understand that it's in the wrong part of the body. They aren't helping it get back. So the body isn't functioning properly. And everytime it convinces an organ of who it is, the organ dissapears."
"Well that's odd," Ellis said. "How do you know what the liver's feeling?"
"Because I'm the liver," Mereidth admitted. "Just please tell me what the liver has to do to get back."
"Well," Ellis said slowly. "It sounds like all of the other organs are what's keeping it from getting back. They are standing in it's way. So when the organ figures out the truth, it gets out of the way and goes back to where it's meant to be. You see, the other organs aren't really in the right places either since the liver isn't."
Meredith swallowed thickly. "So the other organs aren't really gone?"
"No," Ellis explained. "They just got back to where they were supposed to be. The liver has to convince all the other organs of the same thing in order to get them to understand and let it get back."
"And the do you think the liver can get back?"
"Only if the liver understands why it's really where it is. It wants to get back but it doesn't exactly know why. It doesn't realize that it needs to help the body function properly and that it can't be caring only about itself."
Meredith felt a tears fall down her cheek. "In other words, I'm being selfish and I don't understand that there is a reason I was here to begin with."
"Exactly," Ellis said.
"Should I make you remember?" Meredith whispered.
Ellis touched her daughters cheek and said softly, "I think I already do Meredith."
And then she vanished. Meredith felt her lip quiver and she shivered, feeling very alone. "Mom," she whimpered.
"Excuse me ma'am, but you're Meredith Grey, right?" one of the nurses said from behind her.
Meredith felt her heart beat speed up. "My name is..." she started, but jumped up and ran before she could finish.
"Somebody catch her!" the nurse screamed, only to realize that she was sarounded by a bunch of old people who were sick in some way.
Meredith bolted out of the door and around the building, running into the middle of the street. A car screeched to a hault in front of her, honking on it's horn.
The car hit her legs and she rolled up onto the windshield. "Holly shit!" a voiced cried, throwing the door wide open. "Are you okay?"
Meredith looked up to find a very young and crazy looking Callie standing there. "Callie," Meredith said slowly.
"How do you know my name?" Callie gasped.
Meredith sat up the best she could, cringing as a pain shot into her back. Her wrists were beginning to throb and he head was killing her. She bent over and threw up beside the car. "I should get you to the hospital," Callie said.
"No!" Meredith gasped. "It's nothing! I'm fine!"
Callie tilted her head to the side in confusion. "I don't think you are."
Meredith stood up and looked Callie straight in the eye. "I'm going to try something. I have to make you remember," Meredith said.
"Remember what?" Callie asked in confusion.
"The future," Meredith responded.
"Excuse me?" Callie said, shaking her head. "The future? Is this some kind of joke?"
"I wish," Meredith said. "I'm not crazy."
"And usually when people say they aren't crazy, it means they are," Callie said. "But I'll give you the benifit of the doubt. Tell me about my future," Callie said, almost sarcastically.
"You're gay," Meredith said, unable to pull anything else up.
Callie rolled her eyes, "Yeah right."
Meredith strained her mind to think of something and then she did. "Have you ever been to Arizona?" Meredith said.
Callie froze up and then blinked twice before dissapearing. "It worked," Meredith whispered and then got into Callie's car which was left running. "How convenient."
She buckled her seatbelt and pulled out into the night, knowing exactly what she had to do now.
