Chapter 6 –
Song of the moment: Chloroform Perfume by From Autumn to Ashes (they're freaking sweet). Please read and review/comment! Enjoy.
The
end result of so many meetings,
At late night diners with no one
eating,
We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee,
Count the tiles
upon the ceiling,
Skip this pretense and cut straight to
dying,
Don't pick me to keep your eyes from crying,
You said so
much without ever parting your lips.
Meredith drove home from her little incident with Derek in the parking lot…once again. She walked through the front door and into Santa's little village and went to lie down under the tree for one last time. Sooner or later, Izzie, George, and Doc joined along.
"I swear, this dog, animal, thing, whatever! Is gonna kill me." George complained after about twenty minutes or so under the brightly lit up (by none the other…Izzie, of course) Christmas tree.
"Aw you mean Doc?" Izzie loved the thing…well…maybe a bit too much since it's the holidays and everyone's all mellow around that time.
"Yes. Him. What kind of name is Doc?"
"A perfectly suitable name for a dog that lives in a house with 3 DOCTORS."
"Well it's going to be 2 doctors pretty soon if DOC is still around."
"Oh George, you're just simply overreacting." Meredith said trying to halt all the arguing.
"I'm a doctor. Not a vet."
"Maybe you should become a vet then, get to know animals a little better! They don't bite…" Meredith said jokingly. "Wait…never mind, forget that, they do bite. Okay forget what I said. Just umm…spend some more time with him."
"Psh. Yeah like that's going to happen!"
"He's hopeless…" Izzie whispered to Meredith.
"I can hear you ya know! I'm not deaf."
"We can debate that later, I'm off to go do something and not waste my jolly good Christmas at home." Meredith said, standing up from under the tree. She sighed for a minute and stomped upstairs into her room and collapsed onto the bed. She closed her eyes and just laid there, in the motionless atmosphere…until…
Ring…Ring…Ring…
Meredith searched the room for the ringing noise. She finally pinpointed it to her cell phone. She quickly grabbed it out of her purse. "Hello?"
And
I keep repeating, but this payphone tele stopped receiving,
Flat
out of change now I'm sure you won't accept the charges,
It's all
the same cause by the morning I'll be halfway to Colorado,
Or some
place like that.
Derek drove out of the parking lot and headed out of town. Well…not exactly. He drove to the ferryboat station and got out of the car and slumped to a bench. Sat down and sighed. He was debating whether or not to call Meredith; his cell phone was practically warming up from him tossing it around in his hand. Finally after some time, he flipped it open and dialed Meredith's number.
Come on…Come on…Please talk to me and don't hang up.

"Hello?" Meredith answered picking up the phone wondering who could possibly be calling her at this time…on Christmas, although, she did have some ideas.
"Meredith?" Derek asked hoping she wouldn't hang up or something.
"Derek?"
"Yeah…It's me."
"Oh my god! Derek! What are you doing? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, well yeah, I guess you could say something is somewhat wrong. I just can't stop thinking about you…and Addison isn't helping much." He said kind of nervous about how she would respond.
"Oh…well, do you need something?"
"Yeah…about that…I need to talk to you…"
"Me? Uh…now? Um…if it's really necessary." Meredith wasn't so sure about this…but what the heck.
"Okay…Can you meet me at the ferryboat dock in like 20 minutes?"
"Sure. Derek, are you sure you're okay?" She was a little worried.
"I'm fine. I'll see you soon." And he hung up.
You
said so much without ever parting your lips,
It's past 3 am and
I'm still far from sleep,
This is a habit that I can't
break,
You're my only company,
I'm skipping stones down a south
suburban street.
Meredith grabbed her jacket and her keys and walked downstairs, apparently, Izzie and George were too busy running away from the dog to notice her come down. "I'm going out, I'll be back later!" She yelled and stepped out, got into her car and headed for the docks.
About 15 minutes later, she parked her car and went to find a spot, or finding Derek would be much better. She saw a shadowy figure pacing back and forth. Hmm…that must be Derek she thought.
Okie Dokie…that's all for now. I hope you all liked it…And it may take some time for me to update next time, I have finals coming in school and yeah. Anyways. Please leave comments or reviews!
