'Oh My God! Prom night!' Izzie was screaming from the kitchen, overly excited about the prospect of getting dressed up for a prom.

'Oh I'm so excited,' Meredith's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

'Come on, you need to be at least a bit excited,'

'Nope,'

'Not even a tiny teeny little bit?'

'Nope. Your fiancé didn't run off the other day. You're not going to have to endure six hours of staring, comments, and people asking you how you're holding up. I do,'

'But you're going to look drop dead gorgeous in that corset,'

'True, very true,' Meredith finished her coffee.

'We have to get ready!'

'How?'

'Because it's hitting five thirty and we are going to spend an hour getting ready,'

'You really have planned all of this haven't you?'

'Yip, down to a T,' Meredith started laughing.

'Mere, good to see you smiling again,' George walked along into the kitchen and placed last night's dinner plates in the sink.

'Thanks George,'

'Well ladies, I'm out of here. I'll see you at the hospital,' Izzie kissed George and handed him a bag full of his clothes. Izzie seemed obsessed with him.

'Earth to Izzie,'

'Sorry, what?'

'Nothing,' Meredith went up the stairs and went for a shower. She was determined not to let tonight be as bad as it was going to. She was going to make the effort. Well, get so drunk she'd forget everything, including the fact Derek wasn't beside her.

'Mere, hurry up,' Izzie was banging on the bathroom door. Meredith pulled the door open suddenly to see Izzie standing fully dressed.

'God, how long did that take you?'

'Fifteen minutes. Come on, we're going to be late,'

'Izzie we've still got thirty minutes before we leave,'

'I know,' Meredith walked into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.

'I hate proms,' Meredith dried her hair and straightened it. It came half way down her back, covering the butterfly tattoo at the line of her bra. Her make up took all of ten minutes to do making her seem more alive and happy than she actually was. Pulling her corset up, she slipped her bra off and tightened the black corset around her frame, giving her bigger curves than what she actually had. Her black trousers were still warm from Izzie ironing and her black shoes sparkling in the light with small crystals. Looking at herself in the mirror she clipped her sliver necklace and bangle on and slipped in dangling diamond earrings. Izzie burst in and smiled at Meredith.

'You look amazing Mere,'

'Thanks. I'm driving tonight. I was thinking the red Mazda mx8, arrive in style?'

'That's Derek's car,'

'So? He's gone so technically it's mine,'

'Ok. We have to go,' Meredith lifted her back clutch bag and the car keys, making sure she had lifted the right set. Izzie climbed in, bringing her large pink dress with her. Meredith sped round the corners, not caring if she burned the engine out or not.

'You want to slow down?'

'Nope,'

'Why?'

'Because I'm making sure when he does come back his beloved car is screwed,'

'Fair enough,' Meredith pulled into her parking space, next to Derek's. It was empty.

'At least he's not gracing us with his presence,' Meredith smiled weakly. She did want him to come but in a way didn't. He had hurt her. Everyone was laughing and joking when Meredith walked in. She also noticed that everyone had some one on their arm. Except for Alex. He was sitting on his own in a corner looking like a twerp.

'Mere, you look amazing,'

'You don't look so bad yourself Alex. No Date?'

'Nah, nobody's interested,'

'She her over there? She's called Fiona. Go ask her to dance. She likes you,' Alex smiled and walked over, instantly being danced with by Fiona. Meredith sat and downed three shots when she spotted figure standing watching her. Standing up sharply she turned to face them.

'What the hell are you doing here?' The few people who were close by stopped to look at them.

'I thought I was invited,'

'You need to work here,' Meredith's voice was bitter.

'I do,'

'Yeah right,' Meredith lifted her bag and pushed past Derek.

'Are you going to let me explain?'

'You've got thirty seconds,'

'I was going to New York to give Addison the title deeds to the house. While I was there I was doing a consult for a friend of mine, Chris Reeves. We go back to med school. Since I was doing a consult, he was setting me up there for the few days I was going to be there. I wasn't leaving you,'

'How do I know you weren't just going to leave me? Not tell me where you were going?'

'I was planning on telling you Thursday night,'

'You made out like you were moving there,'

'I know, and I shouldn't have,'

'Damn right. You hurt me Derek. I thought you were leaving me,' Meredith was standing playing with the bangle on her arm when Derek walked over and pulled her in against him.

'I could never leave you,' Derek cupped her face in his hands and kissed her like he hadn't seen her in years.

'I missed you,' Meredith put her hands in Derek back pockets when she felt the ring. Secretly she slipped it back on, without Derek knowing. Her hands were resting in his pockets when he guided her into the main lobby.

'Dance with me,'

'You don't dance in public,'

'I make special exceptions,' Meredith took hold of his hands and followed him back into the main room Izzie, George , Alex, Christina and Burke watched them in total shock as they danced, gently holding each other.

'Am I dreaming?' Izzie rubbed the back of George's hand.

'Nope, their back together,' Meredith didn't care that they were watching them. She was happy again, not broken hearted. Derek wasn't leaving her, he couldn't leave her.

'I love you so much Mere,' Derek went to pulled the ring out his pocket but panicked when he couldn't feel it.

'Looking for something?' Meredith held her hand up to Derek's and watched as the smiled broke out across his face.

'Promise me you won't pull any more stunts like that Derek?'

'I promise,' Meredith wrapped her arms around Derek's neck and gently kissed the side of his face, knowing things were going to be ok.
