Chapter 3

"Oh Izz I'm sorry I didn't mean to…" she paused, and looked past Izzie. George?" she said, seeing George standing behind Izzie. "Oh I'm so glad you guys are talking again, that's great!"

Izzie and George looked at each other nervously. "So what are you two hiding in a….oh" Meredith said, finally realizing what she had just walked in on. "Well this is certainly turning out to be a great day." She said sarcastically. "I'm just going to go…away…far away."

And with that she shut the door and headed down the hall. Her head was still pounding and she needed to rest. She walked by an empty room and thought it wouldn't hurt anything to rest in there for a few minutes. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. No sooner had she closed her eyes, she was being shaken away.

"Grey, what you think you are doing?" came Bailey's voice.

Meredith's eyes snapped open and she saw and angry Dr. Bailey staring down at her. "What, oh…sorry Dr. Bailey. I had a headache and I just laid down for a minute…"

"I don't care if you had an axe in your head…this is a hospital for sick people. You are a doctor; you are supposed to be taking care of those sick people. Now you have 5 seconds to get out of my sight. 1…2…"

Meredith jumped up and ran out of the room. When she reached the elevator she sighed and leaned against the cool wall. The doors opened and Christina was standing there.

"Oh there you are…come on, lets grab lunch."

Meredith didn't object. She followed her friend to the cafeteria. They each grabbed a tray of food and sat down at an empty table. Christina immediately started eating, while Meredith just simply started at hers.

Christina looked up, noticing Meredith's stillness. "What, are you hungry?" she asked, with a mouth full of food.

Meredith shrugged. "I don't know…I'm not feeling so great today. I've been having these extremely bad headaches lately…I don't know why though." She paused and took a bite of her hot dog. "I mean, I drink all the time…I never use to get hangovers like this." She said, taking another bite.

Christina shoved another spoon full of food in her mouth. "Quit drinking then." she said.

"What about drinking?" Alex said, sitting down next to Meredith.

"She's hung over." Izzie said, sitting next to Alex.

"I knew it…you alcoholic." Alex said, looking at Meredith.

Meredith rolled her eyes before continuing to eat.

"So you're not feeling better?" Izzie asked.

Meredith went to respond, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head again. She brought her hand to her head and groaned.

"Mer…"

"Stop yelling!" Meredith said, still holding her head.

"Meredith, no body's yelling." Christina said.

Meredith reached into her pocket and pulled out the bottle of aspirin. She poured a bunch into her hand and popped them into her mouth. She grabbed Christina's bottle of water and swallowed the pills. She sighed deeply, wishing the pain would just stop.

Meredith, what's wrong?" Christina asked, sounding concerned.

"Nothing" Meredith said impatiently. "I already told you about the drinking."

"Yeah, but Mer…" Izzie started.

"That's enough!" Meredith said, standing up. "Just leave me alone, I'm fine."

With that she picked up her tray and left the table. She threw the rest of her food away and headed inside. She was on her way to the bathroom, when she ran into someone.

"Oh, sorry." She muttered.

The man turned around and looked at her. "There you are Meredith; I've been looking for you."

Meredith looked at him strangely. "Who are you?" she asked, feeling rather confused.

He looked at her peculiarly. "Meredith, it's me Derek…what's wrong?" he asked.

She looked at him for a moment before shaking her head. "Oh my god…I don't know what's wrong with me…"

He looked down at her sadly and pulled her into a hug. "Are you alright?" you've been acting…bizarrely lately."

She pulled away from him and looked at him. "What do you mean? I…" she paused, suddenly feeling slightly dizzy. "Derek…" she said, feeling panicky. Suddenly she doubled over and vomited all over the floor and her shoes. Her eyes watered slightly and she wiped her mouth off with her sleeve. She swallowed hard, with a horrible taste in her mouth. She glanced down at her shirt sleeve and to her dismay she saw spots of blood on it.
