Chapter 2: Half a mile away

VO: Truth, sometimes you can't face it. Sometimes it's kept from you and sometimes it's just harsh and it hits you at the head.

"My SISTER, I have a sister. And you never told me?" Meredith screamed as she got up.

"I'm leaving!" She walked out the room.

"Meredith, just wait." Ellis sat back down. "She's just a teenager!" She said to herself.

As Meredith stormed out of the room she was thinking. I have a sister. O my god! This can't be true. Her name must be Emily Grey. She must find her.

When Meredith came home Izzie was sitting in the kitchen she heard Meredith running up the stairs

"Meredith?" She asked concerned. She walked upstairs and she heard noises coming from Meredith's room. She walked into her room. "Meredith? What are you doing?" She looked at the mess in Meredith's room.

"I'm leaving."

"Why? And where are you going?"

"I just found I have a freaking sister. So I'm going to find her!" She screamed and cried at the same time. "A freaking sister, a SISTER. All this time of having nobody!" She said to herself.

"Seriously?" Izzie said starting to be a little concerned.

"SERIOUSLY!"

Meredith picked up the sport bag she packed.

"I think this is really fun and all." Izzie said while avoiding the clothes Meredith threw out of the closet. "But how are you planning to find her"

Meredith stopped throwing clothes and stood up. "Wow, haven't thought about that!"

"Let's Google her" Izzie said jumping from excitement.

"Yeah, let's do that."

A few moments later Izzie and Meredith were sitting behind Meredith's Laptop.

"Look there" Izzie pointed to one of the options that came up.

"The new jersey paper!" They read the story. "Surgical intern in New Jersey" Meredith said surprised. "And she only started 2 weeks ago. It's in the biggest hospital of New Jersey."

"Yeah from the 2 hospitals that are there!" Izzie said clearly not impressed.

"I'm going right away!"

"No, wait. Look here" Izzie pointed to the screen. "She is only 3 years younger than you. And she has your mother's last name!"

"That means I should have known her. Why don't I remember?"

"Well, you can find out. Go Mere!"

"I'm going"

She ran out of the house and got into her car when she saw Derek's car driving to her house. She just started the engine when Derek blocked her in. He drove the car in a parking space when Meredith realised she couldn't escape. He walked to her car.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet my sister" She said laughing and she drove away. "Ask Izzie" She screamed out of the window.

Derek stood behind confused and went into the house to ask Izzie. As he walked in Izzie was singing with music. He walked to the kitchen and she was making cupcakes. He stood there for about 5 minutes watching how m she made cupcakes while signing with music. Izzie noticed him.

"Oh, Dr Shepard." Izzie said ashamed.

"Hello, Dr Stevens. So, Meredith has a sister!"

"Yeah, in New Jersey!" she said surprised he knew.

"Wow, that's something big!"

"I guess so!"

Meredith was walking into the airport. She looked for the information desk. She saw one and walked towards it.

"Hello, are there still tickets left for New Jersey today?" She said after waiting in line for 15 minutes.

"I'll look it up." The receptionist looked in the computer. "Yes, there are still a few. You can buy them there." She pointed at another desk.

"Okay, thank you!"

Meredith walked towards the other desk.

"Hello, I would like to buy a ticket to New Jersey for today!" She said after waiting another 20 minutes in line.

"Okay, I would need your passport." She said as if she had been working for 3 days.

As Meredith searched in her bag she felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned around.

"Derek!"

"Hello, Meredith! Here" He threw his passport on the counter. "Make it 2"

Meredith also put her passport on the counter.

"Why do you need to go to New Jersey?"

"I'm coming with you!" He said laughing.

After paying their tickets they walked to the gate they had to be and they sat down on the chairs.

"What about Addison?" She whispered to him.

"I...she…she went back to New York. Mark showed up yesterday, and she went back with him! She would fax me the divorce papers, she said."

It was quiet for a few minutes.

"Oh" Meredith managed to say.

"Oh, that's all?" He laughed. "I'm divorced, practically, you have a sister, we had a bomb in the hospital! That's a lot to have in 4 days"

"It is!" Meredith put her head in her hands. "I have a freaking sister!"

"Yeah, you have. And I'm freaking single!"

Meredith looked up to Derek.

"It's not that freaking awesome, you know!"

"I know"

He wrapped his arms around her and she put her head on his shoulder.

"It's a whole new beginning." She said

"It is!"

After an hour they could finally get into the airplane. The flight went smoothly and when they got out, Meredith was already looking around for a hospital.

"Don't you think we should get some sleep first and then try looking for her it's 11PM." Derek said while yawning

"I don't care, maybe she is on call tonight." She said racing through the airport.

"Meredith!" Derek yelled while racing after her.

Meredith stopped. "Okay, we can go to a hotel. But we're going to the hospital first thing in the morning!"

They checked in at their hotel and walked up their room. In their room they saw a very cute mini bar and a very large bed. Meredith got to the bar immediately and got the vodka bottle.

"You know we have to pay for that" Derek said watching Meredith's reaction to the mini bar.

"So what, we are doctors." She gave to bottle to Derek and walked into the bathroom.

"Okay" Derek said while bringing the bottle to his mouth.

Meredith came out of the bathroom in a very large white T-shirt which pretended to be her pyjama's.

"Wow, you're fast!" he said watching her climb into the bed.

"And tired." She pulled the bottle out of Derek's hand and took a long gulp.

"Here" She gave it back to Derek and climbed under the blankets. "Good night"

Derek took al his clothes of and climbed in the bed only in his boxers.

"What are you doing? Trying to seduce me?" She said laughing.

"Not really." Derek wrapped his arms around her and she put her head on his chest. "Goodnight" He said and he kissed her forehead.

VO: Truth, sometimes it's the best thing you've ever heard of. And sometimes you are just too tired to face it!

"Goodnight!"
