"Ah, yeah, yeah… I'm fine." She snapped out of her daze. "Come with me." She instructed shaking the thoughts from her head. The interns followed her down the halls showing them different things. She watched Lexi from the corner of her eyes wondering to herself if Thatcher had ever told her that she had a half sister out there. She also wondered if she knew the man he brought a drink for was her boyfriend. "On-call rooms." She said flipping on the light. "Attendings hog them. Sleep where you can, when you can." She stopped and looked at them. "Rules: Answer all pages at a run. When I run, you run. My most important rule… Do not bring your personal lives into this hospital. I don't want to hear about your sex lives. I don't want to know who your sleeping with or how often. Now, Grey-Pit. Moore-Clinic. Rogers-Lab. Your shift starts now and lasts for the next 48 hours. Go!"

The two men walk off while Lexi lags behind.

"Dr. Grey?" Lexi said as Meredith started to walk away. Meredith turned trying to brush off the bitterness.

"Yes?"

"Thank you, for the information you gave me in the on-call room."

Meredith just nodded and walked off.

She let out a groan as she sat down on the bench. The day had been filled of endless pages from her interns that couldn't stitch right or had a question about some random thing came into the pit or clinic. She looked at Christina who was sitting on the bench not far from her.

"I hate interns." Meredith sighed.

"Ready for this stupid bridal thing?" She asked decide not to attempt to push the subject of the night before.

Meredith nodded before standing up grabbing her bag and threw it over her shoulder. The two walked out together.

"Hold on. I have to tell my interns something." Meredith said walking another hall. Christina followed.

"You should tell them not to kill anyone. They might need to know that."

Meredith nodded as she waved her interns over. They gathered around.

"Monitor my patients. The nurses have the numbers. Monitor the pit." She sighed glancing at Christina. "Aright. Have a good night. Don't kill anyone. You can page me if I am absolutely needed if not ask the on-call resident. Dr. Kerev."

With that she and Christina walked away.

She drowned another shot before handing the bottle to Christina who was sitting on the floor from across from her. The rest of her friends crowded around the other sides of the living room coffee table.

"Are you going to tell us what happened yesterday?" Christina asked impatiently.

Meredith sighed. "Derek happened to me." She said pulling apart a paper towel and throwing the little bits onto the table.

"Aren't you dating? Isn't he supposed to 'happen' to you?" Alex asked. Christina kicked him while Meredith glared at him.

"What are you even doing here? It's a bridal party." Christina said.

"Free booze. When it gets girly, we'll leave." Alex said gesturing himself and George.

"Whatever." Christina sighed looking back at Meredith.

"I went to Joe's and Derek came in. I didn't really want to talk to him, because of the whole 'I don't want to breathe for you thing', so I stayed in the back of the bar. Just as I was about to get up and talk to him, the woman walks up. They flirt and she buys him a drink which she accepts. I left and came here." She explained quickly not going into too much detail.

"Bastard," Christina hissed.

"Here's where it gets good." She said. "Bar girl… my intern. My intern… my half sister, Lexi. I think I win. My life sucks the most."
