Chapter 13: Just Want to Be Alone

Present Day- 2005

Los Angeles, California

Derek was pulled from his memories by persistent knocks at his door. He quickly wiped away the tears and put the photo back in the drawer. He gave himself a minute to compose himself as he wasn't expecting anyone. He had no appointment that he knew of.

"Come in."

"Hey, Derek." a certain red head, said as she entered his office,

"Addison, what are you doing here?"

"I remembered what day it was and thought that you could do with some company. Come on, we are going out for dinner. Mark is meeting us at the restaurant."

"Addison, thank you, but I just want to be..."

"Alone. Yeah, we know...but it isn't going to happen Derek. Now, let's get going." Addison said, not giving in to him. Derek knew he wasn't going to win, he sighed in defeat, and got up and followed Addison out of the office.

Manhattan, New York

Meredith was looking at the photo, that he gave her, before she left that last day; it was her most treasured possession along with the baby photo of their son. Meredith was remembering that summer, when Cristina burst into her office.

"Come on Mer, you have nothing left to do now, so let's go"

"Cris, I just want to..."

"Be on your own, yeah i know but tough. Get your ass in gear and out of this office. We are not going to let you sit there and mope over him again"

"Okay...but I'm doing this..."

"Under duress, I don't care. We are dropping your stuff over at Izzie's apartment and we are going out. You're leaving for Los Angeles in two days, you're not leaving us without a good send off." Meredith knew that there was no point in arguing with her. She grabbed her bag, and jacket. Cristina had already grabbed her box off her desk and was at the elevator. Meredith took one look around her old office, silently saying goodbye to it, before closing the door, and saying goodbye to that chapter of her life. She quickly said another goodbye to her colleagues before joining Cristina in the elevator.
