A/N: A really short chapter, but major plot developments! And, I'll put up another chapter later tonight, after I eat dinner. Anyway, please review!
Relief
Meredith's POV
(Kind of changes to Derek's POV, though, in retrospect)
She feels like crap.
Her head still hurts, and she's still slightly nauseous.
She opens her eyes to see Izzie and Cristina, fast asleep, Izzie's head on Cristina's shoulder.
She looks around the room.
Derek has his elbows on his knees, and he's staring at the floor.
"Derek?"
She can barely manage a whisper.
His head shoots up.
"Mere? You okay?"
She shakes her head.
"Am I going to die?"
"No, of course not."
She still looks worried.
"I won't let you die."
She smiles faintly.
"Does your wife know you're here?"
He frowns.
"Of course. I should be here. I'm your friend, remember?"
She looks at him skeptically.
"Mere?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure you don't know where you got the bruises?"
She nods. The panicked look is back.
He's not sure he believes her.
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure."
She's so tired.
She begins to drift off.
He watches her.
Then it hits him.
He races out of the room.
And notices that his wife is sitting on the floor.
"Addie?"
"Derek."
"What's up?"
He doesn't get an answer. He doesn't need one. Her face makes it pretty clear.
She stands up.
"I want a divorce, Derek."
She walks off.
He stands there. Shocked.
And maybe…relieved?
A/N: See, I meant what I said when I said plot developments. The chapter later tonight will have more about Mere's Mystery Illness...
Thank you soo much to everyone who's reviewed so far (and there's a LOT of you) and keep up the good work!
