Chapter 6: Liars Don't Make Good Dates

Izzy came out of the on-call room, with red and puffy eyes. She started to head toward the front doors of SGH. Right when she opened them, she saw Derek and Addison Shepherd walking in, fighting as usual

"Derek, first you kiss me then you start yelling at me! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" Izzy quickly hid, so she could tell Meredith everything that was going on.

"Look Addison. I don't love you anymore. I was mad and confused. I don't know why I kissed you. I had to kiss someone! Meredith already left for home. She started calling me a liar because she saw we still had on our wedding rings. But," Derek tugged off his ring and threw it at Addison, "Now were divorced and I have no guilt. I can now kiss Meredith, go out with her, or do anything I want with her without any guilt. Good-bye Addison." Derek turned and walked towards the elevator. Addison stood there with a speechless look on her face. Izzy couldn't help but laugh to herself as she turned and left towards home. She couldn't wait to tell Meredith what just happened.

----

Izzy came home to Meredith lying on the couch with a large Vodka bottle.

"Meredith?" asked Izzy unsurely

"Ya?" asked Meredith, obviously drunk

"Um Mer are you okay?"

"Ya, I'm fine,"

"Are you sure?"

"NO! Derek is fuckin liar! He lied right to my face! I should just tear up that note and forget about tonight!"

"NO! Look Meredith, I don't know what happened, but I just heard Addison and Derek had a MAJOR fight. All right not major, but trust me you'll want to hear this,"

Meredith just gave her a drunken look

"Okay then." Said Izzy continuing, "Well I walked out of the on-call room and Derek and Addison just came back from lunch. Addison was whining about how Derek kissed her and-"

"WHAT? HE WHAT?"

"LET ME FINISH MER! Anyway, ya she was yelling at him and then he was like. 'I never meant to kiss you. I was confused, mad, blah blah blah' anyway he took off his wedding ring and threw it at Addison and just walked off!"

"Ya right!"

"Meredith, just listen to me. Go out with Derek tonight and ask him all about. Look, I know you're mad. I must have missed a lot, but c'mon Mer. Give him another chance. He divorced Addison for God sake. PLEASE MER?"

"Look if you want me to go with him so bad. WHY DON'T YOU?"

"Mer. You're obviously drunk. Here go upstairs and take a nap. You really need it."

"FINE!" Meredith got up and tried to go up the stairs. She just collapsed at the foot of them.

"Or maybe how about you just take a nap on the couch." Izzy pick Meredith up and laid her on the couch for a nice long nap.

----

Christina stood at the nurse's station shocked. She had just seen Derek kissing Addison in the alley. He had just lied to Meredith's face! What a jerk!

"Hey!" Christina heard a familiar voice and hands touching her waist

"Burke!" she snapped "We're working!"

"So? Derek and Meredith do it all the time,"

"But we're not Derek and Meredith,"

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing! Don't you have any patients to check up on?"

Burke swung he around so she was looking him square in the eye

"Christina something is bothering you and I'm not leaving until you tell me!"

"FINE! Look, it's none of your business but: Meredith and Izzy came for lunch. Izzy blew up. Meredith ran after her. I run after Meredith. Meredith sees McDreamy and Satan in the elevator. She turns and runs to Joe's. I follow and so does Dreamy. She yells at him for being a liar. He lies to her saying that he loves her. She goes back home. He tells me to go ahead back to the hospital. I follow him he kisses Satan! God Damnit Burke HE LIED TO HER!"

"Dr. Yang?" Christina turned around to see Derek standing there. "What are you talking about?"

"Shit!" Christina mutters and runs in the opposite direction.

"Dr. Burke?"

"Don't look at me! I'm just her boyfriend! I don't know anything" Burke says with a smile as he turns to leave. Derek just shrugs it off and heads towards the door; leaving to pick up Meredith.

----

Meredith got out of the shower right when the doorbell rang

"SHIT! Uh, Izzy can you get that? I'll be down in a minute!"

"Sure thing Mer! Ah, hello Dr. Shepherd!"

"Good evening Miss. Stevens. Is Meredith ready?"

"She-"

"Yes I am! C'mon Derek let's go!"

"Oh, okay, well I guess we'll see you later Stevens?"

"Uh, yes! Don't be out too late Mer, you gotta go back to work tomorrow!"

"Who are you my mother?" called back Meredith smiling as she and Derek walked to his car.

Meredith gets in and Derek starts driving

"Der-"

"Not now Meredith. I'll explain everything at the restaurant,"

"But Derek-"

"Mer just trust me!"

Meredith sank back in her seat and looked out the window. A light rain was starting to fall. Meredith sighed and looked at Derek. His face was full of concern.

"Derek, something's wrong,"

"God Damnit Meredith! I told you I'll explain everything in a second!"

"Seriously! Derek, you haven't snapped at me like that in a while. PULL THE DAMN CAR OVER AND TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!"

Derek slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the shoulder

"WHAT'S WRONG? WELL LET'S SEE. YOUR BEST FRIEND IS CALLING ME A LIAR! YOU DON'T BELIVE ME! GOD THAT KISS MEANT NOTHING TO ME! I WAS CONFUSED! I'M OVER ADDISON MEREDITH! I LOVE YOU! I'M SORRY I CHOSE HER! I WANT TO BE WITH YOU!"

"What kiss Derek?"

"After we left Joe's this afternoon, I kissed Addison in the alley. Christina saw me. Trust me Meredith. I love you not her. Look!" He held up his ring finger. His ring was gone. "I threw it at her! I want to be with you!"

"Derek! You did lie to me!"

"NO! THERE WAS NO LYING!"

"Derek! Look. I gotta go to work tomorrow. I'm already dead and buried with Bailey. If this is what this night is going to be like then just take me home,"

"Meredith. I love you! You do know that right?"

"I'm not sure Derek. Just take me home. Maybe some other night,"

Derek sighed and turned the car around. When the arrived at Meredith's house Derek tried to get out.

"NO! You're not coming in! Look; let's try this again, when you're sure that you love me. Good night Derek. I'll see you tomorrow,"

"Mer-" Meredith just turned and walked up the steps to the house.

"Good job Derek!" Derek banged his head on the steering wheel and turned around and drove back to the trailer. Meredith just saw the car head up the street. Tears were begging to fall from her face. She opened the door to see Izzy, Christina, and George on the couch. Everyone's head turned when they heard the door close.

"What the hell are you doing here?" said all 4 voices at once

"Mer, you're supposed to be you with Derek. What happened?"

"I was right, he's a liar Izz. What are you two doing here?"

"Callie and I broke up. She was a bitch. She was rude to all of you. Especially you Mer,"

"Burke tried to make a move on me at work. He's also on-call tonight with the Spawn. I thought I'd hang out here tonight,"

"We got any alcohol?"

"Hell yes!"

"Then scoot over. Screw work tomorrow. I'll go in with a hangover. Bailey's probably not even going to let me get close to a scalpel anyway. SERIOUSLY GEORGE! Scoot over!"

All four friends sat on the couch, drinking the alcohol from the bottle, not caring what tomorrow would bring.
