Unexpected
It's been a week since Meredith's departure. Izzie had to tell the others everything after Meredith's first call. They took it hard but Izzie and Meredith knew that deep down, they understood. Izzie is now currently getting dressed for work. Dr. Webber has let her back into the program. Everyone is excited to have her back. She had called Meredith the minuet she found out. Of course, Meredith was very happy for her.
"Izzie!" George called from the bottom of the stairs."We are going to be late! You don't want to be late on your fist day back!"
"I'm coming! Fix me a coffee for me will you George!"
"I got it!" Callie called back instead. Yes, Callie had practically moved in...actually, she did. George asked her to move in a few days ago, and countered it with a first "I love you.". Izzie put her hair up in a tight pony tail and raced down the stairs and into the car where George and Callie waited with her coffee.
Izzie stepped into Seattle Grace hospital and breathed in the smell she missed so much. At the same time, thinking of what Mercy Hospital smelled like for Meredith. Izzie got into the elevator and up to the second floor where she walked into the locker room to change into her scrubs.
"Nice to see you back Stevens." Dr. Bailey said when she walked into the locker room. "Izzie, your with me today, George, your with Shepherd and so are you Karev." Alex gave a sound of victory and headed to the OR, not even bothering to wait for George."Christina, your doing labs, don't give me that look, someone has to do them." Christina left as well while Izzie stayed with the bossy resident. She was sure as hell happy to be back.

Derek stood with hot water pouring down on his hands in the scrub room. It's been one week since Meredith left...He didn't have information of her status. Just that she left to do her internship somewhere else. He didn't know her number or how far away she actually was. He could not believe he lost her like that. Let her slip from his fingers like beach sand.
He loved her, still does. He just wished he knew why she just got up and left like that. Would it make a difference if I did know? He thought to himself has he continued staring into the OR blankly. He wasn't enough for her. She was right, she was tired of being second. If only he understood before all this. Before this complete loneliness he feels now set in and decided to stay. There was nothing he could do now. He can now move on. He's just not sure if he wants too.
Alex walked into the room followed by George. They stared at the wreck of a man that was left. They don't even know how he can still perform surgeries. Derek finally snapped out of it and finished scrubbing his hands and arms. He looked at the two other men with a fake smile and walked into the OR.
"Okay everyone, it's a nice morning to save lives, lets have some fun." Derek said as they began the surgery.

Meredith sat outside in the warm afternoon sun eating her lunch. She just got on brake. She feels like she is doing okay so far. She moved in with Anna who needed a roommate. They are great friends by the way. Along with the very shy Kelly. It was a big change from Christina and Izzie but she's gotten used to them already. She feels like the workaholic compared to these two. Or maybe she was turning into one. I've hung around Christina to much. Meredith thought to herself as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
She liked it in Maine. Anna and Kelly Promised to drive her around on their next day off. Meredith is now on her new work schedule and hadn't found the time that would match up with theirs. But so far, she loved it here.
"What are you thinking about?" Tyler asked as he sat down next to her on the bench.
"Home...I miss it." Meredith said. She's really gotten to know him. He's a really nice guy.
"Seattle? Yeah, it's nice there, But I'm not the huge city type." He replied biting into his own sandwich. Meredith nodded and didn't say anything.
"Any bars around here?" She finally asked, she feels as if she could have a drink every now and then.
"Uh yeah. How about we all go out for a drink tonight? My treat?"
"I might just take you up on that." Meredith said smiling. "I'll ask Anna and Kelly and I'll get back to you."
"What are you two talking about?" Anna said. Walking up.
"Speak of the devil." Meredith replied.
"Haha very funny, no seriously."
"We were gonna go out for drinks tonight." Tyler says.
"Oh count me in!"
"Me too!" Steven sat down on the grass followed by Kelly. "What about you?" he then asked her.
"Yeah I guess..."
"So it's settled." Meredith said happily. Her first night out with her new friends.
Later that night Meredith put her scrubs into her locker and shut the door. She was dressed for a night out. She walked out of the locker room and down the hall. She took in the smell of the hospital. Yes, she could get used t this. She stood and waited for the elevator. When it opened she was greeted by the crew. They all took Tyler's car to the bar a mile or so away.
"How many shots it that now Meredith?" Steven asked slurrying a little as she gestured to a row of tequila shots.
"I donno..."
"How About seven." Anna said coming to sit with them.
"Where you this wild back in Seattle?" Kelly spoke up form down the bar. She was sipping a lone bear. Meredith nodded and ordered another.
"No, she's done." A man said sitting down on the other side. "I've seen her drink about ten of those already." he said again. Meredith just looked at him. He was tall and had shaggy blonde hair.
"Are you Married?" she asked. The man shook his head. "Okay, then you can sit here." She said, even though the man was already sitting. Anna and the Others left her to talk to this man and went off to do their own thing. Meredith talked to the man for quite sometime before coming up to the others, announcing for Anna to not wait up for her. Meredith then left with the man.

Izzie hadn't gotten a call from Meredith yet tonight. She wasn't worried. It wasn't that late at night yet. She assumed she was having a girls night out. She couldn't deny that fact that she was jealous. She missed her so much as well. No more fun night's out at Joe's after a long shift at the hospital. She just hoped Meredith wasn't getting herself into trouble. She knew how she got when she had to much to drink.
Izzie yawned and jumped down from the kitchen counter and went upstairs to bed. She had a surgery to assist on in the morning.

Derek sat outside his trailer alone. He was sipping a beer and thinking about all the things he could have done different. First of all, he could have chosen Meredith right from the start. To late now. She was long gone and somehow he knew he would never se her again, or hear from her.
A lone tear fell from his eye and slipped down his stubbled cheek. Meredith liked his stubble. It went with is overly moosed hair. He missed her smile, her laugh. The long walks with Doc in the mornings. He missed the scent of her Lavender shampoo left on his pillow from the night before.
Derek downed his beer and dropped the bottle onto the grass. He didn't bother to pick it up. He looked out at his land, remembering what Meredith had said one time.
"I was done, I thought I was with the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with."
He messed up big time. And there is no way now, that he can fix it. She wouldn't take him back. Hew knew she wouldn't. She said so herself...well it was implied. He finally realized that he could never be with her. Because she would always know that she was his second choice. He know knew that she wanted to be his only choice, If only he hadn't been so blind. Maybe then things would be different. He sure as hell wouldn't be sitting alone outside this trailer if things were different. He wouldn't be drowning his sorrow in a six pack of beer.
Derek reached down into the cooler and pulled out another beer. He took that top of with his bare hands, rage and anger at himself popping the mettle top off. He took a long slow swig from the bottle. After he was done, he went and side and fell asleep in his clothes.

It's been two days and Izzie hasn't heard anything from Meredith. She was beginning to get really worried. It was so unlike her not to call. Meredith had made it a habit to call every night after her shift was over. But two full days and no Meredith. Izzie paced the kitchen, stopping every now and then to stare at the phone intently. As if willing for it to ring. Izzie finally gave up and went upstairs to her room. It was getting late.
Izzie awoke at an unusual hour of the morning to hear the phone ringing in the kitchen. She was suddenly wide awake and raed down the staris two at a time. Once in the Kitchen she picked up the receiver,
"Hello?" She practically yelled into the phone.
"It's three in the morning, who's calling?" George asked. He was standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes. Izzie ignored him and listened to the voice the other end. She finally hung up the phone. "Izzie?"
"It was Meredith..." Izzie looked horrified and it was scaring George. Callie cam into the kitchen and looked at the both of them
"What's the matter?" she asked, seeing the look on Izzie's face.
Izzie looked at the both of them and finally spoke, "Meredith's been raped."
Cliffy. I know you hate them but I went blank. Guess you'll have to wait till I can think of something. In the mean time, why don"t you review?
