I walked into the hospital the next morning looking for Addison. I bought us both a coffee and went looking. I found her reading a chart at the nurses station.

"Good morning," I said handing her the coffee.

"Thank you," she said taking a sip. "I have asked for you to be on my service today."

"Sounds like fun," I said. "Let me get changed and I will come back here."

She nodded as I walked away. I got into the locker room and was faced with Izzie and George.

"So when are you friends with Doctor Montgomery-Shepard," Izzie asked me as I started getting ready.

"What do you mean," I asked hoping to ignore the question.

"You bought her coffee," Izzie said, "and she put you on her service."

"I buy everyone coffee," I said. "I did not ask to be on her service."

"You have not bought me coffee."

"Fine Izzie do you want a coffee,"

"Don't get angry I was asking you a question."

I breathed in for a second. "Sorry about that. I am her friend. She was at Joe's last night and she needs a friend. Derek wants Meredith and she feels no one wont's her, So I am going to be her friend,"

"How could you do that to Meredith," George asked?

"This is not about Meredith," I said as I walked to my locker. "This is about the other woman in the Shepard web of lies."

"But you are Meredith's sister," I heard Izzie say from behind me.

"So what," I said turning to look at them slipping on my top. "Because Meredith is my sister I am only supposed to be on her side. I can't care for the other women that was caught up in the Shepard web."

"That is not what we are saying," George said looking down at his shoes. "We just wont you to understand that Meredith will not like it."

"Last time I checked," I said as I finished getting dressed. "I have to run my whole life by Meredith. I have to tell her who I am making friends with."

"No," Izzie said. "But you might wont to think about her feelings before you do things like this."

Izzie and George left the locker room. I sunk down onto the bench and looked to the lockers in front of me. I did not understand what the problem was really. Addison and I were just friends. But maybe they were right. Maybe I should have thought this through a little more. I shook my head and walked out of the locker room and found Addison at the nurse's station.

"Are you ready for your first day on gyne," she asked me.

I nodded my head and followed her to the OB-GYN wing of the hospital.

Around 12 she told me I could go to lunch. I walked down to the cafeteria to find my friends setting and eating lunch already. I went and got my lunch and as I was going to find a table to set at Meredith called over to me.

"Come set with us," she said.

I shook my head. Meredith pouted a little and came over to me.

"What is the problem," she asked?

"I am friends with someone that you might not like," I told her. "So until I think you can handle it then I am not going to look at you."

"You are my sister," Meredith said cracking a smile. "You can tell me anything. I wont be mad I promise."

She gave me the look that she always gave me. The look that would melt even the coldest of hearts. The look that you only get from Meredith once and awhile.

"I'm friends with Addison Montgomery-Shepard," I said. "We talked at the bar last night and I offered her my hand in friendship."

I watched as the smile that was playing on her lips vanished.

"Why would you do that," she whispered to me."

"Because she does not have anyone here." I said. "She needs someone to talk to I told her that I would listen."

"So the fact that she is Derek's secret wife not mean anything," she said getting a little mad.

"What is it supposed to mean," I said.

"It means she is the bad guy in the story," Meredith said. "But I mean you never have been on my side."

"You take that back," I said standing up to meet her gaze. "Every since we were kids I was on your side. I took care of you and feed you. So if that is not me being on your side then I don't know what it is."

I watched as a single tear fell down her cheek. "I want you to understand that you are choosing someone who has everything. She has Derek. She has money."

"That does not mean that she has everything," I said. "It may look like she does but deep down you guys are the same."

"How can you say that," she asked me.

"You guys were played by the same man," I replied knowing that it would cut her like I thought it would. "She loves him and so do you. And just like you she can not seem to want to walk away from him."

Meredith broke down at this point and ran off. I huffed like an angry bull watching her retreating figure.

"I hope you know you probably broke her," George said from behind me.

"Ya," I said still looking at the doorway she had left a moment ago. "Will she needed to see the situation from the other side."

My pager went off and I left. I found Addison reading a chart when I caught up to her.

"How can I help," I asked wanting to shake off the fight I had with Meredith.

Addison handed me the chart. "We have a surgery to get to."
