Sorry for the whole lack of updating I have been kinda busy lately with all of my finals…okay, so disclaimer is the same as before…and I am trying to have the tension between Meredith and Derek be the same as the show, so right now they are in that little "friends" mode.

Song: When I'm With You by Simple Plan

Taking my time
I'm trying to leave the memories of you behind
I'm gonna be fine
As soon as I get your picture right out of my mind

"You wanna go shopping?"

"Mer, hello, we're in the middle of rounds."

"I know, I just was wondering, 'cause I have a hankering for shoes. And chocolate."

"This might be crazy Izzy talking but, it seems to me that you need a little cheering up."

"I think a little is the understatement of the century. You know, maybe some Tequila will help."

"We get off in approximately 2 hours and 47 minutes, give or take providing no uber issues decide to arise. Including that of my stomach not agreeing with me right now."

"Wait… we are allowed to ask off early if we are over staffed and no appointments, new regulations are quite helpful, so with 5 minutes left of rounds, I vote mall and Joe's."

"Holy crap… we have time off… when does that happen… wow…"

"Izzy, snap out of it, McDreamy is coming."

"Since when have you started calling him McDreamy again."

"Sorry slips out, crap, look busy…"

"So Mr….Haskins, how long have you been having trouble walking?"

"This morning, when I dropped my nail gun." He held up his foot with a nail stick through it.

"I thought you doctors were supposed to be a little more observant."

"Sorry Sir, we will clean that out right quick."

"Dr. Stevens, Grey, one of you is free to go, but I need someone to scrub in with a quick tumor removal, should take but 1 or 2 hours."

"Mer, go home for a bit, I'll meet you at the mall."

"Are you sure?" She leans to my ear and whispers…

"I can tell you don't want to be here, especially near him, you can hide from some people, not me. Go home, take a bath, I'll meet you at the mall as soon as I get out."

I nod and turn back to the guy with the nail in his foot as they walk away.

"What was that about."

"Why do all of my patients try to analyze my personal relationships?"

"Cause its just so fun to see you frustrated." Yank, haha Mr. Arrogant, gauze, scrub, done.

"You are going to stay overnight for observation then you can be discharged in the morning."

"You really got a thing for him don't you."

"Had a thing, past tense, would you stop prodding!"

"Sorry, but its present tense, not past, past is for things that have finished, present is for things that still exist."

"I'm leaving now."

"Denial is a funny thing."

"So is tetanus!"

I wanna feel the way you make me feel when I'm with you
I wanna be the only hand, you need to hold on to
But everytime I call you don't have time
I guess I'll never get to call you mine

I have never noticed how depressing malls can be. I mean, if you look around, no one goes to the mall by themselves. They have friends or kids, boyfriends or girlfriends. Except for me. I am the loser walking around with her coffee.

"Meredith!"

That's it, god hates me.

"Dr. Shepard."

"Izzy got sick, all over pre-op, right after you left, food poisoning, she'll be okay but she told me that you were waiting here."

"And there goes my night of fun."

"Are you insinuating that I am not fun?"

Hey, what is wrong with a guy and a girl just hanging out like friends…

"I was not insinuating anything, Izzy just came with shoes."

"But I come with something far greater than shoes."

"Okay, nothing is greater than shoes."

"Fine, almost greater than shoes."

"What."

"Pool."

"You, play pool, yeah right."

"How do you think I paid off med school?"

"Meh, I thought male prostitution, but…"

"Well yes, but lets keep that between you and me."
