Chapter 5
Derek slammed his hands down on the counter in frustration.
"Damn it," he mumbled, running his hands through his silky brown hair. He turned away from the counter, trying to figure a way to track her down. He knew that once she was in New York it would be hard to track her down. Derek walked out of the airport, out of ideas and options. Christina would never tell him Meredith's new address, especially after all the shit he had put Meredith through. Derek unlocked his car and sat in the drivers seat for a while.
"Why does this have to be so hard!" he cried, slamming his hands on the wheel.
Meredith sat in her seat, looking sadly out of the window. A young lady sat next to her, reading a magazine. She was pregnant and had a maternal glow. Meredith sighed when she thought of the life that she and Derek could have had. Am i doing the right thing? Meredith asked herself. The pregnant woman looked up from her magazine and asked, " So why are you going to New York?"
"I am going there for an internship, I'm going to be a doctor," Meredith replied, without any feeling.
"Oh, that's nice…"
"Meredith,"
"Meredith," repeated the woman, " I'm Alyssa, Alyssa Peterson,"
"Meredith Grey,"
"I'm going to meet my husband," Alyssa explained.
God! What is it with people going to New York to meet loved ones! thought Meredith exasperatedly.
"I'm actually running away from the man of my dreams who happened to be my boss," blurted out Meredith. The woman didn't seem that surprised. She simply nodded and asked, " Does this man of your dreams actually know you exist or is he some fantasy that you wish you could have?"
"Uh, both."
The woman chuckled, " I see. So why are you here? If he's the man of your dreams then why are you on this plane instead of chasing him?"
"Because he's married,"
"So?"
"What do you mean so? He's married, forbidden,"
"How do you know that you aren't the woman he wants?"
"Because… that's a valid question,"
Derek drove through the streets of Seattle, towards the ferry dock. It always seemed as though he found his best ideas there. Should he just give up? he asked himself. He boarded the ferry boat and walked onto the deck. The lights of the buildings glittered like the stars. How could he chase her? He did not know her address or anything. Then he realised. He knew that she was going to work at New York County Hospital. With that thought he relaxed and enjoyed the view.
