AN: Hey guys thank you for all the reviews! Good or bad I love them so thank you once again. And tookie, I'm sorry you hate Hunter but I can't cut her out, she's on of the main characters, I just hope that you can keep reading even with burning hatred lol. But anyway I think this maybe the last chapter. I'll decide when I get to the end.
DISCLAIMER: Don't own Grey's Anatomy, and by the way I'm currently watching Johnny Bravo ha-ha, ok that was random.
Dr. Addison Shepherd was sitting by herself, in an empty holding room at Seattle Grace. It was dark out and she could hear the fierce wind on the window. She looked at her watch impatiently. She had called and asked Derek to meet her in here and he was 15 minutes late. History repeating itself, Addison thought dully. Just then she heard the door open and the light from outside threw Derek's shadow into the room.
"I'm sorry I'm late I just had to…" Derek stopped when he saw Addison's face. "I know, I know-"
"No, you don't know!" Addison said suddenly getting worked up. "I need more from this… marriage."
"Okay," Derek said slowly. "Cutting right to the chase…"
"I want more from you…" Addison continued quietly. She would of spent the first fifteen minutes easing him into this but since he was late, she decided not to give him any sugarcoated mess.
"Don't be selfish…"
"Selfish, Derek?" Addison asked feverently. "I need-"
"Are these the same things you needed when you cheated?" Derek said anger burning every word.
"They're similar." Addison dared.
"You, Addison," Derek started angrily. "Should know better than anyone else how hard and time consuming my – our work is."
"But, I do and-"
"No, buts." Derek said curtly. "If, when you cheated, you couldn't understand that I was a little consumed in my work, then you don't understand now and mayber-
"Maybe what, Derek?" Addison urged.
"Then maybe," Derek continued stiffly. "I would much rather find someone who can."
"Grey." Addison stated. Derek didn't say anything and just stared. "I love you, Derek."
"I love you too, Addison." Derek said. "But I don't think you're in love with me, not anymore." Addison nodded her head, she looked up at Derek and he saw a tear in her eye. She pulled off her ring and put it in her pocket.
"Goodbye, Addison." Derek said as he walked out of the room.
"Goodbye, Derek."
"Hello, Dr. Grey." Addison greeted Meredith curtly. Meredith and Addison were both walking toward the hospital doors out into the cool night air. Meredith was going to open her mouth to say something smart, but Addison just stormed past Meredith outside. Meredith just ignored her and continued walking with George, Christina, Izzie and Hunter, who were on there ways to Joe's bar.
"What's up her ass?" Christina asked.
"Oh, nothing…" A voice came from behind them. Meredith turned around to see Derek. "Things just didn't work out for her…"
"And," Meredith started walking toward Derek slowly. "What didn't work out?"
"Our Marriage."
Christina, Izzie and Hunter decided to go on ahead figuring they needed time to talk. George stayed behind, figuring that Meredith would want someone to walk to the bar with.
"I wonder where Alex is…" Izzie said quietly.
"Satan spawn, Satan spawn." Christina chanted mock religiously. Izzie smirked a little.
"I don't even know why I care about him… I mean he's such a jerk and-"
"You don't mean that…" Hunter said stopping Izzie before they crossed the street. Christina continued to walk ahead deciding she didn't feel like waiting to get drunk. Hunter reminded her that she was pregnant and Christina cursed as she still walked towards the bar.
"Maybe I do…" Izzie said shoving her hands in her pockets. "I just don't understand him."
"You seem to understand him better than anyone else…"
"Better than you?" She replied not really thinking about it.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Hunter asked trying not to be defensive.
"You two have been so close since you got here… and I just can't keep up." Izzie said.
"Well, yeah… I'm close to George too…" Hunter said. When she saw that she wasn't reassuring Izzie she added. "I mean, we talk about you most of the time anyway."
"Really?" Izzie couldn't help but smile. "What does he say?"
"He likes you so much… he gets nervous when you're around." Hunter started. Then something strange happened, her tone became softer as she started to describe Alex dreamily. "He's such a great guy, he has a bad boy side, and then this sensitive side, and he genuinely cares about people, he's…" Hunter suddenly stopped and realized what she was saying. She stopped and looked at Izzie, whose eyes were glazed over, thinking about Alex. Hunter shook her head, was she falling for Alex? Had she already fallen? Izzie was looking at her obviously not noting the love sick tone that Hunter was talking with. Hunter contemplating her feeling for Alex when Izzie spoke.
"You're right…" Izzie said slowly. "Hey, did Alex tell you to talk to me?" Izzie continued slyly.
"No…" Hunter said. "I'm just in love with him so…" Hunter drew in a sharp breath.
"Huh?" Izzie said her eyes no longer glazed over but sharp.
"And I'm in love with you Izzie!" Hunter said covering. "And I'm in love with Alex and you…uh together! That's it… so uh, I really think you should…"
"I should give him a chance?" Izzie finished. Hunter nodded. "And I probably shouldn't be so hard on him. Wow, I feel like I just had an epiphany."
Tell me about it, Hunter thought sarcastically.
"Okay, I'm kinda cold, let's go to Joe's."
"Oh I'm coming," Hunter said quickly. "Have to make a phone call." Hunter really had to think about what the hell she just said and thought. Izzie nodded and headed off to Joe's. Hunter stood there as the wind pulled on her jacket behind her and let her dark hair fly in the wind.
Back at the hospital Meredith had been analyzing every word that Derek was saying. George was standing in the background hoping that Meredith would bitch Derek out and then confess her undying love for George, but something told him that it wasn't going to happen.
"I want to tell you something." Derek said lightly.
"And that would be?" Meredith asked. She had her arms crossed over her chest and was not going to make this easy for Dr. Shepherd. She had a pretty good idea of what was coming, and she was really happy about that. She was fighting the urge to smile as Derek struggled to find the right words.
"I broke things off with Addison."
"So your marriage is over?"
"Well, not legally, we're-"
"So you're at the same place you were when we first met… still married."
"Well legally that won't change for a good three months and I don't want to have to wait that long to…" Derek's words failed.
"To what?" Meredith asked annoyed.
"To be with you, Meredith." Derek almost shouted. "Why do have to make things so hard?"
"Because you make things… so easy." Meredith said quietly. George rolled his eyes as he saw Meredith's eyes warm and her body move closer to Derek's. She could walk to Joe's bar on her own. Or on the arm of Dr. McDreamy. But not with him. George turned around and walked away but not before seeing Meredith and Derek kiss.
As he walked down the street he saw a familiar silhouette in the distance. As he got closer he realized it was a distraught Hunter.
"You alright?" George asked when he had finally reached her. Hunter looked at him. They started walking to Joe's bar.
"I'm in love with Alex." She blurted out. George cocked his head and raised an eyebrow.
"Alex? Alex Karev?" George said double-checking. Hunter nodded. "Jeez, what do girls see in him?"
"And I told Izzie."
"What?" George said bewildered. "Why'd you tell her?"
"It kind of slipped out, but I covered well and told her I loved her too…"
"Huh?"
"No," Hunter said laughing. "I mean I told her I was in love with them together, their relationship."
"Wait, when did you fall in love with Satan spawn anyway?" George asked a little annoyed that Alex could get one of the most beautiful girls at Seattle Grace to fall for him by just…being himself.
"I don't know, I guess now that I said it out loud, I kind of always was. Ugh, I don't know, I don't know…" Hunter said her head starting to hurt a little.
"So what are you going to do about it?"
"Nothing" Hunter returned. "He's practically in love with Izzie… and I hate cheaters, and women or men who let them cheat." George rubbed her back affectionately.
"You're pretty dumb to fall for a guy who's already fallen for someone else." George admitted. Hunter shoved him playfully.
"Yeah, I know." They had reached the bar. When they walked in they saw Izzie and Christina at the bar. Izzie looked like she was thinking hard and Christina looked really annoyed that she couldn't drink.
Just as Hunter and George sat down at a table, they saw Alex walk into the bar. He made a bee line right for Izzie and right as she looked up, surprised by his presence, he dipped her back on her stool and kissed her passionately. When they came back up Alex said nothing and walked out of the bar. Hunter and George gaped. Christina rolled her eyes and checked her watch, waiting for Preston.
"What a way to sweep her off her feet." Hunter said quietly, throwing back a shot of tequila. Izzie smiled broadly and looked at Hunter. "Go after him you idiot." Hunter told Izzie hiding her bitterness.
"You did the right thing." George said dramatically as they watched Izzie run out of the bar gleefully after Alex. As she ran out of the door, Dr. Burke walked in followed by Meredith and Derek. George immediately changed his mood to brooding and turned away from them all. Hunter did the same and she and George did shots as Christina and Burke left happily and Meredith and Derek sat at the back of the bar.
"To hell with love…" George said annoyed.
"I'll drink to that." Hunter said slumped over the table.
Her and George clinked glasses and threw back there shots. George looked behind them and he saw Meredith in a dark corner with Derek, they looked like they were having a deep discussion but the sparks between them were undeniable. George turned back around and saw Hunter looking down at her hands.
"Hey, you want to get out of here?" He offered. Hunter looked up.
"Please, let's…" Hunter said as she hopped off the bar stool. George left money on the bar and they walked out of the bar together. The unloved walked out into the street.
Alex and Izzie were out on the corner kissing under a street lamp.
"Oh, that's classic." Hunter said disgusted. George laughed.
"Don't be so bitter. Here, why don't we go out tonight?" George offered. "Just me and you."
"So we can pretend to be in love?" Hunter said amused as George started to hail a cab.
"Sure, we can… love each other, as friends." George said also amused at how silly it sounded.
"This is so corny." Hunter said with a laugh.
"It's either this or I'm going to jail for homicide." George said bluntly as a cab pulled up in front of him. Hunter nodded and they climbed into the cab.
"I'd be right in the jail cell with you." Hunter joked.
The cab pulled away. 4 couples, 3 couples of lovers, and 1 couple of friends. The couples of Seattle Grace content with where they were… at least for tonight. That would all of course change with the sun coming up and with work. Hidden love would arise, and may be spoken. A renewed relationship may fall apart under pressure, and one with enough pressure on it just may rise above and become stronger. But tonight they forgot about everything else but each other. Because there was something about it being night time, where we're all partially hidden in shadows, and parts we don't see in the mourning are illuminated by the moonlight.
AN: I think that was the end of this fic. I'm sorry if you hate me because it was so short. I may write more or I think I may start another sequel fic, I'm not sure if Hunter would be in it. But honestly it depends on you guys, I write for my reviewers SO REVIEW!
