Chapter 6

"Grey!"

"Yes Dr Saunders?"

"You will be with Dr Anderson in Cardio, understand?" barked Meredith's new resident, Dr Saunders. Meredith nodded obediently and scurried down the halls of New York County Hospital. It had been a week since Meredith had left Seattle and she was still just adjusting. She had moved in with some other interns from the hospital, Mandy Holloway and Kaitlyn Bennett. Thankfully, Mandy and Kaitlyn were like Izzie and Christina, so Meredith was not reminded of how much she missed them too often. However, Meredith often lay in bed at night, reminiscing of her life in Seattle. She thought about Izzie, Christina, George, Alex, even Dr Bailey and Dr Burke. But she spent most of her time thinking about Derek. Derek Shepherd. She resented him for consuming her mind most of the time. Meredith ran into the room where her new attending, Dr Anderson stood and their patient were.

"You took your time Dr Grey," commented Dr Anderson, clicking her tongue, " I was hoping you could explain to Mr Weir what we will be doing today,"

Meredith swallowed loudly. It was going to be a hell of a long day.

"Dr Montgomery Shep… i mean, Doctor Montgomery, i think that you should get some sleep, you look terrible," said the new intern at the Seattle Grace Hospital, Matthew. Addison looked wearily into the eyes of her new intern. He was a handsome young man with sandy blond hair and a toned body. God, his voice is sexy, a voice in her head said. She rubbed her eyes wearily, shaking her head of the thought. No, he's an intern, her conscience told her.

A hot intern from Australia, replied the voice in her head. Matthew looked at her curiously and tilted his head to a side. Freaking hell! Thought Addison, Stop turning me on! She got off the gurney she was sitting on, shutting the book she was looking at. Without any warning, she did something she never thought she would do.

" I really miss Meredith you know," sighed Izzie as she walked into the house, her hands filled with grocery bags.

"Wow. This is coming from the person who was a judgemental bitch to her over the whole George fiasco," snorted Christina.

"Come on, she was in the wrong about that one," defended Izzie, putting a can of chopped tomatoes in the fridge.

"Yeah, only cause she had just met her father for the first time in 20 years on top of the fact that she had just found out her mother was a dirty whore,"

"I guess that leaving was what was best for her," replied Izzie sadly, " I mean with her mother, finding out she has two half sisters and the whole George thing,"

"Uh, you forgot the biggest reason why she left," Christina butted in.

"Mcdreamy," the both said at the same time.

"God, i really want to kick his ass now," mumbled Christina as she helped Izzie put away the groceries.

"I am sure you do. Call me when you do kick his ass though. I wanna see that," laughed Izzie.

"Hang on- why am i helping you put away your groceries when i don't live here?"

"Uh, because you're my friend and because Alex is a frat boy bitch who has once again escaped helping to do the chores," giggled Izzie.

"Your forgot the fact that Mcdreamy drove away our best friend so she can't do it either," mumbled Christina.

Holy Shit! Did i just do that? thought Addison, running her fingers through her bright red hair as she walked away from Matthew. She quickened her pace as she raced out of the halls of the Seattle Grace Hospital and into the car park. Matthew still stood there, shocked. The Doctor Montgomery, one of his attendings just kissed him. He touched his now slightly swollen lips as he recalled their kiss. It wasn't quick. It wasn't light. It was full of desperation and passion. And it sure as hell wasn't unwanted.

Meredith slumped the wall of an on-call room, searching for peace and quiet, and a place away from the ranting of Dr Anderson and Dr Saunders. She soon fell asleep again the wall her head slouched to one side.

(start of dream)

"That was good surgery Mer," Derek said as he ran down the hallway to catch Meredith.

"Thank you, Dr Shepherd," replied Meredith, smiling gleefully, " I could really use some rest,"

"Oh god, me too," Derek replied as they walked into a on call room. Meredith immediately took the bottom bunk, causing Derek to laugh, " You always get the bottom bunk!"

"Hey, its not my fault you just aren't quick enough,"

Meredith lay asleep until she heard the bunk above her creak loudly.

"A 911," Derek explained as he slipped on his shoes which he had taken off earlier. Meredith got up out of her bunk ,meeting Derek's eyes.

"Yeah,"

"I'll see you later," Derek said, quickly kissing her. He stopped for a moment, contemplating what he had just done and soon rushed out of the room.

(end of dream)

Light flooded the on call room and a familiar voice said, "They told me that I'd find you here,"

Meredith looked up wearily, widening her eyes when she realised who was in front of her.

"Oh Shit,"
