Chapter 21
Derek's POV
"Listen to me Derek, this has to work. Every girl would love this. Just do it as we practiced up until now." I know Lexie means well but I'm not so sure about this. "I'm going to go and try to convince Meredith to come to the game tonight." She grabs her things and leaves. "This will work, we will all help you." Mark has been a great support through this. "I know you don't trust me so much lately but I mean it when I say that I want you and Meredith together." I put a hand on his shoulder. "I do trust you, you're my best friend." We do this weird guy hug thing. "Guy's, I want to thank you for doing this for me. I know this is not the right time..." Owen cut's me off. "I think we can all agree that this is the least we can do for you. You would have done the same for us. So... we still have 5 hours to get you thing ready and train a bit for the game." We do our cheer. "Let's win these things!"
Lexie's POV
I follow Derek's instructions on how to get to Meredith's place. I think I finally found it. I ring the doorbell hoping she'll open the door. "Lexie? What are you doing here?" Meredith's mother opens the door. "Miss Grey, is Meredith home?" She let's me in. "First of all call me Ellis and second, what happened? She hasn't stopped crying since she came home from school." We take a seat on the couch. " Meredith saw Derek kissing with Addison, his ex-girlfriend. But it was a misunderstanding, she kissed him and he tried to get loose from her grip when Meredith walked in." Ellis starts thinking. "Does Meredith know it was a misunderstanding?" I shake my head. "Then what are you doing down here? Go explain it to her." She shoves me up the stairs. I knock on Meredith's door. "Go away, I don't want to talk to anyone." I open the door. "Then don't talk but listen." She turns around. "What are you doing here? Did Derek send you?" I point to her bed. "Yeah, sure sit down." I take a seat. "He didn't send me but he did tell me what really happened." Her eyes fill with tears. "Addison kissed him, he tried to break free but then you walked in." She looks away. "He told me if he could turn back time he would have never gone to take your bag himself. He's really sorry, and it would mean the world to him if you would come to the game tonight. He says you're his lucky charm." A little smile forms on her face. "Alright, I'll go but I don't want to talk to him... yet." I get up. "Alright then, let's get you ready." While she's changing I send Derek a text.
Lexie
She accepted! -L
Derek
Thank you, I owe you one!
"Let's go." I look up from my phone and almost drop it. "Mer, you look amazing." She blushes. Her mother brings us to the game. "Send me a text if I have to pick you up ok?" Meredith nods and we step out of the car to go watch the big game.
*AFTER THE GAME*
Derek's POV
The team is carrying me on their shoulders because we just won the game. "DEREK, DEREK, DEREK,…" The crowd is cheering but I only have my sights set on Meredith. The minute she walked up the Tribune I almost fainted. She looks amazing. "Hey Derek, it's time." I get a microphone shoved in my hands. I'm shaking but hope no one notices. "Hi everyone, my name is Derek." The crowd stops cheering and listens. "This morning I made the biggest mistake ever, and I want to make it up to that one special person. Meredith Grey, this song is for you." A huge spotlight is directed on to her. The music starts and now it's my turn to work the magic like Lexie said.
Tear drops in your hazel eyes
I can't believe I made you cry
It feels so long since we went wrong
But you're still on my mind
Never meant to break your heart
Sometimes things just fall apart
So heres one night to make it right
Before we say goodbye
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
To make up, make up
I just need one last dance
Freshman year I saw your face
Now it's graduation day
Said we'd be friends, till the end
Can we start again?
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
To make up, make up
I just need one last dance
Na na na na oh-oh
Na na na na oh-oh
I heard you're heading east
So let's just make our peace
So when you think of me
You'll smile, and I'll smile
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
To make up, make up
I just need one last dance
So wait up, wait up
Give me one more chance
Just one song, then I'll move on
Give me one last dance
I just need one last dance with you
Oh-woah
When the last tones fade away the crowd turns to Meredith to see her reaction. The boy's have brought out a banner with: Will you still go to prom with me? Meredith walks down to the field and up to me. "Yes, I will still go to prom with you." I can't contain my happiness and shout into the mic. "SHE SAID YES!" I pick her up and swirl her around. "Everyone there starts cheering for us, this is the best night ever.
