Because you guys mean so much to me, I'm posting this chapter now. And not next week.

Apparently many of you don't like Addison, but don't worry kiddies; she's just in there for effect. I'm a Derek, Meredith relationship person. Hope that explains a lot to you.

I just noticed something when I posted my last chapter. I was in such a rush I forgot to thank all my reviewers for chapter 15. I'm sooooooooooooooo sorry!

So I want to thank skylinechick07 (thanks for being my number 1 reviewer!), luv24+Alias (thanks for your review), Greyaddict (I'm so glad you reviewed), and Orlando-crazy(thanks for another review!).

Now I want to thank the people who reviewed my last chapter. You guys are all great!

skylinechick07- My faithful number 1 reviewer. I thank you for another review. Psst, don't tell anyone I said this but you're my favorite reviewer. Whoops I think they heard me. LOL. But seriously, thanks. I decided to screw the whole thing I was going for and give what my fans wanted. And the Addison thing you don't have to worry about. I mean no offense, but as I said I'm not a real big fan of Satan, er I mean Addison. Sorry.

gafan003- wow. I don't think I've seen you review me before. But thanks. Nice to see another fellow non-liker of Addison. Don't worry about Charlie and Meredith. They are strictly just catching up. You'll see in this chapter.

Pentopaper- Don't worry about Alex, he'll be in soon enough. I'm sorry if you like Alex because he's not really going to look good in this story. So as a warning I would advise you not to read it if you like him. Thanks for your review though. It meant a lot.

luv24+Alias- Hiiiiii! Thanks for another great review. As I said before Addison will be gone soon. Maybe not forever, she'll probably still linger in the shadows of the story, but farther away then she is now. I'm not sure so much about Derek and Meredith. I like them together, but in my timeline it might take a while for them to get together. But if you cross you fingers and chant it three times while you spin around you might get them together faster. XD Nah, just kidding, but I'll try to put them together soon. Maybe even this chapter. I can't give up everything now can I?

greyaddict- thanks for your second review. I really appreciate it.

Wow, you guys like me, you really like me! I've gotten 5 reviews in just one chapter! Thanks so much. Keep the reviews coming!

Here's your new chapter.

--------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 17

"Let's go upstairs to look for her." George suggested after they searched the entire first floor. "I mean she said she was coming, and there's not a lot of places we have left to look for her."

"Yeah, she's probably upstairs making-out with one of the McDreamy brothers." Christina said laughing.

"Nope." Izzy said. "Elder McDreamy is over there," she pointed out, "swapping spit with a red-head, and Younger McDreamy, a.k.a Jack, is over there with his girlfriend."

"Ooohhh. OUCH!" Izzy flinched when she saw Sarah slap Jack and walk away, "Okay never mind, maybe ex-girlfriend."

George laughed. "Come on, let's go look for her."

"Nah, you guys go, I'm going to stay down here and hang out with Locke." Christina told them.

So Izzy and George went upstairs together and opened the first door they saw, hoping it contained Meredith and not a couple making-out.

Unfortunately they did stumble across a couple. What made it even more unfortunate is that they notice the couple was their boyfriend and girlfriend making-out with each other.

They stared in shock as they stared at Alex and Olivia swapping spit with each other.

"Oh my god!" Izzy shouted. "I hate you! I hate you, you $$hole!"

She ran out of the room, needing to be away from her lame excuse for a boyfriend, I mean ex-boyfriend. Send one last look of disgusts to his ex-girlfriend and Alex, George ran out of the room to chase after Izzy.

"Hey Izzy, you okay?" George asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm great." She said sarcastically. "Watching my boyfriend and your girlfriend making out in a room was exactly what I had in mind for a fun time." Izzy started sobbing. "I mean how could he?"

George hugged her, "Shhh. It's going to be okay." He whispered softly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"GO, GO, GO, GO!"

In the short amount of time that George and Izzy were gone, Christina managed to get into a drinking contest with Locke, Michael, and Preston.

The goal: to drink the most shots of tequila in 5 minutes. So far Christina was ahead of Locke, by 5 shots.

It was a heated battle, and down to the last few seconds, Christina won. Having drank 1 more shot than Locke did.

"HA! In your face." Christina slurred. "I told you I could beat you."

She stood up to cheer, but almost fell over again. "Whoops." She giggled. "I think I'm a bit tipsy."

"Uh oh." Christina looked at her watch. "I'm going to get in trouble. Locke will you drive me home?"

"Huh? Yeah sure." Locke said, also a little drunk.

"I don't think you should drive." Preston said more sober than the rest. "You're in no condition to drive."

"Don't worry about it." Locke said. "I'm fine."

Both Christina and Locke stumbled all the way to Locke's car.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, you know Claire right?" Charlie said shyly. Meredith nodded. "Yeah, well, we're kind of going out now."

"That's great. Meredith said excitedly.

"So what about you?" Charlie asked. "You know, Derek likes-"

Charlie was interrupted by a thump on their door.

"Bloody hell!" Charlie shouted when Derek and Addison fell into their room, as Charlie would put it, snogging the hell out of each other.

"Jeez." Meredith said. "Can't you guys get a room? Particularly one where we aren't in, so we don't have to witness this."

"Sorry." Derek said embarrassed.

"Come on luv, let's get out of here and find an unoccupied room." Charlie told Meredith.

"Yeah." Meredith said agreeing. She took the hand Charlie offered and followed him out of the room.

"Next time, let's lock the door of the room we're in." Meredith said once they got out of that awkward situation. "We don't want that to happen again. I think once is enough."

"You said it." Charlie shuddered remembering what happened.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't believe I just did that. Derek thought to himself. Arghhh! I'm so stupid. The beers must be getting to me.

Addison kept kissing Derek's neck. "Addison, stop that!" He said. "I can't think."

"What is there to think about?" Addison asked him. "You're in a room alone with a beautiful woman and there's no one else."

"No this is a mistake." Derek said pushing her away. "I like some one else. I'm sorry."

"You weren't like that at first." Addison said. "Is it that brunette?"

"Okay, first of all, I don't have to explain myself to you." Derek said getting a little angry. "Second of all, it has nothing to do with you so get out!"

"Fine, fine. Jeez." Addison got up and left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack sighed for what seemed to be the hundredth time since the party began.

He took another slip of beer, and then walked over to his friend Kate.

"Hey, Kate." Jack said "Why are you looking so down?"

"Oh," Kate said drowned another shot of vodka, "no reason what so ever."

"Come on Kate, you know you can tell me anything."

"Fine," Kate sighed in defeat, "you remember Tom right?" Jack nodded. "Well… Tom is transferring to a new school. He just told me during the party."

"Wow, this should be called the farewell party." Jack laughed dryly. "Everyone seems to be leaving."

"Hmmm? Why do you say that?"

"Well, let's see…" Jack said thinking. "Tom is leaving; Sarah broke up with me and from what I heard Izzy and George just broke up with their boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Oh, Sarah broke up with you?" Kate said. "Sorry."

Jack laughed, "Its okay. I've actually never felt so free. I don't know why I didn't break up with her sooner."

Jack stopped laughing when Kate caught his gaze. He felt them move closer and closer.

They moved closer and closer, until they finally met.

It was slow and lingering, but rough and passionate.

"Wow." Jack said as he pulled away.

"Yeah, wow." Kate whispered resting her forehead on his.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the very moment Jack and Kate were sharing their special moment so were many other couples in the house.

"Don't worry about it Izzy." George reached down to kiss Izzy on the cheek, but fate had Izzy turn her head.

Izzy hesitated before kissing George back.

Thus, Izzy and George became a couple on this very day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait here." Charlie said. "I'll go get Claire."

"Yeah, sure."

Charlie got up and left the room.

Meredith sat there on the bed waiting for Charlie. Derek crept into the room and sat next to her.

"Meredith. I'm so sorry." Derek whispered.

"About what?"

"You know the thing… At first."

"Oh, that thing. Well, it's okay."

"To tell you think truth," Derek said shyly. "I only have feelings for you."

As soon as Derek finished talking, he leaned over and kissed her.

Pretty soon they were full-out making-out.

"Hey-" Charlie was cut off when he opened the door to discover two of his friends snogging, in the middle of the room.

Oh my god! Charlie mouthed to Claire whose jaw dropped.

Charlie closed the door to give the new couple their privacy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"LOCKE! WATCH OUT FOR THAT CAR!"

Christina fell into the darkness that beckoned her.

Joy in many cases can not be described. It is a feeling, an emotion. It's like a picture or a piece of art. It's worth a thousand words, but yet you can't describe it. But it is there. It does exist. It just doesn't exist in every person all the time.

------------------------------------------------------

Wow. This is definitely one of my longer chapters. I hoped you like it. Don't you just love my cliffhanger? Don't worry you'll find out what happens in the next chapter.

I'm sorry if I got any of the kissing stuff wrong. I don't write about that stuff very well.

I can't believe I got even more reviews since I started this chapter. Well, I want to say thanks to the people who reviewed me, even if they were a little late. Just kidding! ;)

mrs sanders- I'm glad you like my story. I hope you liked this chapter too.

Orlando-crazy- When do you ever think my chapters suck? Lol. But seriously thanks for another review. Means a lot.

Well, I should start on my new chapter. Or maybe even my homework for once. :D

Later,

- H
