Headlines
Izzie sat briefly at the coffee cart between patients. Distracted, she looked over at a small magazine rack nearby and smiled at one of the small headlines on the front cover.
New York Best Selling author signs movie deal!
Izzie picked up the magazine and flicked it opened to the page to see a stunning picture of Lily Maloney, Derek Shepherds younger sister… and her dear friend.
"What are you looking at?" Alex and George came up behind her, Alex resting his chin on her shoulder to read.
"Wow!" He said admiring Lily's photo. Izzie tried to shut it not wanting to re-open old wounds for George. Lily leaving had left him depressed for months. He was only now seeing a new paediatric nurse named Simone.
"Don't close it… " Alex grabbed it from Izzie.
"Show George the girl who left him behind" He held it up in front of Georges face. George looked at it, blinking for a moment before saying coolly "Nice photo".
Izzie looked at him not convinced. She knew seeing Lily affected him.
"Right O'Malley… man she is HOT!" Alex said and Izzie hit him in the arm.
"I'm just saying, not as hot as you though babe" He and Izzie had recently reunited.
"You're an idiot," She said, grabbing the magazine she paid for it and walked off with Alex following her. George stood looking at the pile of Magazine left behind, reading the headline and trying not to seem effected.
Meredith looked at Derek reading the article from the magazine Izzie had given her.
"Wow" He said as he finished it.
"I can't believe they're making a movie from her book… I wander who will play me" He looked thoughtful.
"Some crusty old washed up actor" Meredith teased.
"Maybe George Clooney… he can play a doctor" They both laughed.
"What's so funny?" Addison came up behind them and the two stopped laughing. Time had passed but Meredith still felt uncomfortable with Derek in front of Addison. Derek looked at Addison and smiled.
"We were just discussing who will play me in Lily's movie" He held up the magazine for Addie to see… she took it and read a few lines.
"Probably some has been actor," Addie mocked and Meredith and Derek laughed a little.
"She is doing so well… I see she has another book coming out" Addison folded the magazine and passed it back to Derek.
"Yeah in a few weeks apparently" Derek replied and Meredith watched the exchange not sure whether to make a comment or not.
"Wow" Addie said.
"Wow" Derek answered….
"Wow" Meredith said awkwardly snapping Addison and Derek of their conversation.
"I should go" Addison said walking away.
"I have a consult, will you ring the builder and follow up on those tiles" Derek asked Meredith. They were in the final stages of building their house and both were anxious to move in.
"Sure" She smiled and he kissed her cheek lightly in thanks.
