New Chapter!
It was the night of the prom , Meredith was dancing with Finn when she saw Derek at the punch bowl table watching her.
"You alright?" Finn asked her.
"Yeah, I'm just hot, and ah, claustrophobic. You know, I'm just gonna run and splash some cold water on my face."
He nodded, "I'll be right back ok?" she said
He nodded again, seeming to understand. She walked out of the prom area and ran to somewhere where she could be alone but of course Derek had followed her.
"Meredith." he called out to her.
"Leave me alone." she yelled back.
"Meredith." he called again.
She ran into an empty exam room.
"Just leave me alone."
" I just want to make sure you're alright."
"No! I'm not alright? Okay? Are you satisfied? I'm not alright. Because I have a boyfriend, and you call me a whore, and our dog died, and now you're looking at me again. Stop looking at me."
" I am not looking at you, I am not looking at you."
"You are looking at me. And you watch me. And Finn has plans. And I like Finn. He's perfect for me, and I'm really trying here to be happy, and I feel like I can't breathe. I can't breathe with you looking at me like that so just stop!"
Meredith turned around and faced him. He looked at her and made up his mind, he grabbed her and kissed her. The kiss soon turned very heated and before she knew it her panties were off.
"What does this mean? " Derek asked after they had finished
"Uh, I had panties on, black. Do you see them?" She said frantically looking around the exam room.
"What does this mean? " He asked more persistently.
"And fix your tie." She told him.
"Meredith, what does this mean?" He asked her once again.
Suddenly the door opened and revealed Callie.
"Oh, the nurse told me to come find you. You have to come now, its Izzie. Wait, wait." She fixed the back of Meredith's dress and they both ran off.
She looked between the two men, unsure of what she should do or who she should choose. Two incredible men stood in front of her. One had plans and the other had her heart.
Suddenly Finn spoke up, "Meredith can I talk to you for a second." He said looking between her and Derek. She walked over to him and he spoke.
"I want to say something to you and I don't want you to say anything." she nodded, " I don't know what happened between you and Derek tonight and honestly I don't want to know. I understood that you were scary and damaged but I didn't know why until tonight. It's Derek, it always has been. There is something between you two and I don't want to be the one that comes between true love."
Finn was truly an amazing person. "I'm so sorry Finn."
"You don't need to apologize for loving someone."
After he said this to her, he gave her a hug and turned to Derek. "Make her happy and don't ever hurt her again."
"I will and I won't." He said. Finn nodded and then walked out of the hospital.
Derek and Meredith walked toward each other. She shrugged her shoulders and sighed
"What does this mean now?" he asked hopeful.
"I think that it means that everything between us is going to be ok."
They smiled at each other knowing that this was the beginning.
" I ran away from Finn to have sex with you and then Callie walked in and told me that Denny had died."
"Do you remember anything else?" he asked her.
"I had to pick between you and Finn but Finn said that he couldn't come between true love."
"That I didn't know."
"I can't believe that we slept together on the night of a prom." They laughed.
"Hey I didn't get any from my prom why not get some during my second one"
Meredith gently slapped him on the arm, "We should try to get some sleep."
"Yeah you're right."
It was early the next morning when Olivia was in the bathroom in the apartment that her and George shared, looking for tampons.
"George where are the tampons?" Olivia yelled while going through the cabinets.
"What are you talking about?"
"The tampons that I asked you to buy the other day."
"I don't buy tampons," Olivia glared at him "Fine I'll go buy some right now."
George quickly ran out of the apartment.
George was at the checkout stand buying about six boxes of tampons.
The man at the checkout stand looked at him, "Girlfriend?"
"Yea." George was embarrassed.
"We've all been there man."
George nodded and proceeded to pay.
Cristina and Burke were having breakfast when Cristina suggested something.
"Let's have a barbecue today."
"You, Cristina Yang-Burke, want to have a barbecue?" Preston asked
"It's Dr. Yang-Burke and I think it would be good for Meredith to be surrounded by her family right now. Plus we have this huge backyard that is going to waste, especially for the amount of money we paid for it."
"Ok then, you call everyone and I'll go and get the food!" Burke said.
