As Meredith walked off to find Bailey and the rest of the interns, she ran into Addison.

"Grey" replied Addison. Meredith was not surprised that Addison was still trying to torture her. Addison had still not gotten over the fact that Derek was still trying to talk to Meredith despite telling their therapist he would. He was constantly looking at her when he had the chance.

"Dr. Shepard" Meredith replied back in the same manner as Addison had.

"Grey, I have a surgery that's a bit complicated and I would like for you to assist me. What do you say?" Addison tried her best to be with Meredith in alot of surgeries. She knew that if she spent time with Meredith and ran into Derek, she could flaunt the fact that he had chosen her and not Meredith. Meredith knew Addison did this on purpose but on the other hand she was able to help with some rare surgeries.

"Yea sure" answered Meredith and walked off to find Bailey.

Minutes later she was standing with the rest of the interns listening to their orders.

"Izzy and George, you two are with Burke. Karev and Yang, you two are with me, and Grey, you're going to have fun with Dr. Shepard-Derek, then Addison." Bailey finished giving them their orders and they all went on about their day.

"Dr. Grey, this is Mr. Sinton. We need to get x-rays and check as to why he has chronic back pains." Derek said looking at his chart. Once they were done with their regular check up on Mr. Sinton, Derek and Meredith walked out of the room. Meredith was heading off to go do the x-rays but Derek came up and started to walk next to her.

"Will you talk to me?" Derek asked as he tried to keep up with her pace.

"What do you want me to say to you? Congratulations?" Meredith was now getting mad. She didn't want to be arguing with Derek. She didn't want to have to see him with Addison everyday. She didn't want to pretend like she didn't care that he hadn't chosen her. "Derek, you chose Addison, will you please stop trying to talk to me. I'm happy now. I don't have to think of you when I'm alone. I have someone, just like you have Addison. Try talking to her for once. Stop chasing me, just stop." Meredith walked off as she felt tears about to fall. She knew half of the things she said were not true. She was happy that she had a boyfriend, but she wished it was Derek that she got to spend her time with. She wanted him to be the one she fell asleep with at night. She wanted him to chase her. She wanted more than anything to be able to talk to him whenever she wanted. Yet, he chose her, Addison, the perfect doctor from New York.

Derek didn't want to give up that easily on her. He knew he loved her and he didn't want to not talk to her, no matter what his therapist or Addison said. He was now regreting his decision of not picking Meredith. He watched as she walked off, trying to fight back his own tears.

About an hour later, Derek and Meredith were back in Mr. Sinton's room explaining what his x-rays showed and how they were going to treat him. They were explaining to him that he didn't needed surgery, but he that he did need to stay home from work for about a week. During the whole time they were in there, Meredith tried her best not to look at Derek, whilst Derek constantly looked at her trying to capture her eyes.

"Dr. Grey" a nurse from outside called.

"Yes" Meredith relied as she looked at the nurse, hoping she would be able to leave the room.

"Dr. Shepard asked me to find you. She said when you were done if you could join her in room 237." The nurse looked alittle nervous while she was speaking but managed to get everything said.

"Thank you Sandra." Meredith told the nurse.

Minutes later...

"Ok so we're all done here Mr.Sinton, I'll be back tonight to check on you." Derek finished.

Outside the room...

"Will you please talk to me?" Derek asked Meredith again.

"What Derek? What?" Meredith asked as she looked into his eyes.

"I'm sorry." he said with sad puppy-dog eyes, "I, um...I signed the divorce papers yesterday."

Meredith looked up at him. "What? Why?" was all she could say. She wanted to jump into his arms and kiss him, but she knew she had to restrain herself.

"What do you mean why?" Derek asked as he looked confused "I thought you would be happy. Don't you want to be with me?"

"Why did you wait so long to sign them? If you really wanted to be with me then you would have chosen me and not her. I'm sorry Derek, I can't do this. Not right now." Meredith was about to cry as she was saying this. She went to walk away but Derek grabbed her by the arm and pulled her in for a kiss. She kissed him back for a second, but remembered she had Marcos. And luckily for the two of them, no one was around.

"Give me another chance Meredith" he managed to say before she yankd away. "Think about it atleast."

"I have to go." she replied as she left. Meredith couldn't believe he had done that.

"Dr. Grey, nice of you to join me. Grab me Mrs. Blant's chart from the cart." Addison immediately gave Meredith an order.

"So what are we working on here?" Meredith asked.

"Actually, I lied earlier. I don't have any surgeries for today. I just wanted to talk to you about Derek." Addison said looking up at Meredith.

"Look Addison, HE kissed ME. I don't think there's much to talk about either." Meredith said trying to make sure Addison knew if was not her fault.

"Wait, he kissed you? When?" Addison asked shocked and confused.

"Yea, he did, about 5 minutes ago."

"He told you he signed the divorce papers right?"

"Yes, he did."

"Too bad you have a boyfriend. Look Meredith, I'm sorry. I thought Derek and I would have been happy, but ever since we got back together, he's seemed distant. I'm leaving back to New York tonight. Derek obviously doesn't love me, but he does love you. Keep that in mind." Addison walked out of the room.

Lunch time finally rolled around and all of the interns were exhausted and just wanted to eat.

"I'm so sleepy. I don't even want to eat." George whined.

Everyone else was too tired to respond to him. Meredith arrived at the table with her coffee. "I've had the most shocking day."

"Why?" they all asked in unison.

"Derek told me he signed the divorce papers, and Addison told me she was sorry and that she knows Derek loves me."

"Aww. How sweet" Alex joked with a sarcastic tone.

"Hey sexy" Everyone turned to see Marcos coming. He sat down next to Meredith and gave her a kiss, but she was a little indifferent.

"Hey" she said with a half smile.

"Whats wrong?" he asked noticing the way she acted.

Meredith thought it would be best if she told him about the days past event. She wanted him to know about what Derek and Addison had said. But she stopped for a second when she saw Derek get in line to grab some lunch. She stared at Marcos for a second, then turned around to see Derek again. He was out of the line when he spotted her. They captured each other's eyes before she decided to begin with Marcos.

"We need to talk" Meredith said.
