Chapter 11

"What? Why?" Derek asked incredulously.

"You know why Derek. I heard that the SGH has replaced me with a guy called Matthew and there just aren't any spaces left," Meredith sighed sadly, hanging her head.

"Meredith, you will come back with me to Seattle," Derek said firmly, "I am not leaving here without you,"

Meredith smiled as Derek said this. She had waited so long for Derek to say that he loved her and that he wanted to be with her. She had spent so many lonely nights curled up on the couch with no one to snuggle up to. She had woken up for so many days without someone beside her. She had spent so many days and nights without Derek. She was sick of fighting. She was sick of being mad. She was sick of being lonely. She honestly wanted to go back to Seattle and start over with Derek.

"That's sweet Derek, but i just don't think that's possible,"

Derek lifted Meredith's head so that she was looking him in the eye, "Just because it seems impossible doesn't mean we aren't going to try,"

What the hell am i doing? Addison asked herself as she still sat in her car, deciding what to do with her situation with Matthew. Matthew was sweet, cute, sexy and she was comfortable with him. But was she actually in love with him? Bailey walked into the parking lot to go home when she noticed Addison sitting in her car with tears running down her face.

Should i see what's wrong? she asked herself.

No. Tucker and William will be waiting. They probably want me to cook them dinner! I wish they could cook it themselves. But Addison does look pretty upset. Stupid woman! She always seems to accidentally to the wrong thing! Her luck must seriously be screwed.

"What the hell," muttered Bailey as she opened Addison's passenger seat door and sat inside.

"Bailey," choked Addison, wiping away her tears, " What are you doing here… in my car?"

"I'm here because my stupid conscience told me that i should see why you are so upset. That's why I'm here in your car. If my conscience hadn't showed up then i would be driving home to my son and husband who probably just want me to make dinner for them because Tucker is probably incapable of turning on a stove,"

"Oh," whispered Addison.

"So what is the problem?" Bailey asked impatiently.

"Nothing," mumbled Addison, obviously uncomfortable with the situation.

"I hope you realise that i am not stupid,"

Addison looked at Bailey. Before she could stop herself the words tumbled out of her mouth, " I… Matthew…i slept with him…OH MY GOD! DID I JUST TELL YOU THAT?"

Bailey sat there, not surprised. Her arms were crossed and her face showed no emotion.

"I guess that you can tell by my face that i am not surprised," Bailey replied.

"Why aren't you surprised?" asked Addison.

"Because Addison, anyone could spot the sexual tension between the two of you. Even a five year old could! I'm not going to yell at you or warn you because you attendings don't listen. All i can tell is that you have to decide whether this intern is worth it,"

With that, Bailey got out of the car and walked away.

Meredith stood there, tears streaming down her face. Derek was just making it harder for her. What if he couldn't get her a spot back in Seattle Grace Internship Program? Then what? She couldn't live without him now.

"Derek but what if you can't get me a position at the SGH! Then what!" cried Meredith in frustration.

"Then we will get you a position at another hospital in Seattle!"

"Those programs are nothing compared to the one Seattle Grace has," Meredith spat.

"If we can't get you your position back at the SGH and you don't want to go to any other hospital in Seattle then i will move here," Derek explained, grabbing her hands as she tried to walk away. Meredith stopped. He would actually move across the country just to be with her.

"Derek, you can't do that. What about the Seattle Grace Hospital? You can't leave, you just moved there less than a year ago,"

"They can't deny me the right to resign," Derek replied.

"I can't let you do that. This is your career we are talking about. This is a big thing. You can't just drop everything because i decided to move to New York and you want to be with me,"

"Uh, yes it can,"

Meredith rolled her eyes, "Derek…"

"First we are going to try and regain your position at the SGH. I am not taking no for an answer," Derek said firmly, " I am not and will not lose you again,"

Addison finally reached the hotel room that she was now occupying until she figured out what to do.

God, this is just one huge mess, she thought to herself. She unlocked the door and fell helplessly onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.

I have to make a decision. And i have to make that decision tonight.

" Derek…"

"Meredith! We will work this out! It will all end up fine, trust me," Derek pleaded.

"Trust you? After what you did to me?" Meredith asked incredulously.

Derek stood there shocked. She still had doubts about how much he really loved her.

"So you don't trust me," Derek said, hurt oozing out of his words.

"No! I do, its just you did break my heart,"

"So flying across the country just to get you back doesn't even make up for half of that," Derek replied, smirking.

Meredith's face began to crack a smile. She tilted her head to a side before sighing," It only makes up for half of it. The other half you have to show me how much you love me,"

"And how would you like me to show you how much a love you?" Derek asked mischievously.

"Oh, I'm sure you already have some ideas," Meredith replied cheerfully, walking away.
