Somebody
Meredith sat on her large queen sized bed with a pint of ice cream. Izzie stood in the doorway of the bedroom.
Meredith looked up towards the friend who once never stopped smiling.. "Come on in Izzie"
Izzie walked over, crawled into the bed and took a spoon. "Getting me fat?"
"No getting us fat... get it right." Meredith giggled. Izzie smiled for the first time in a few days. It was refreshing to them both.
"So, Derek came over? What did he say?" Izzie said as she stuck a huge bite of strawberry ice cream into her mouth.
Izzie looked at Meredith. Meredith took a large haunting breath.
"He said he was in love with me."
Izzie nearly choked on her Ice Cream.
"He said what?"
"Derek, he said he was in love with me and that I had a choice." Meredith stared straight ahead. "I have to choose between Finn and Derek"
Izzie had no idea what to say. She knew who Meredith should choose, but she did not know how to tell her. She knew Meredith knew who to choose deep inside.
"What are you going to do Mer?"
"I don't know. Who do I pick? I mean, Finn gives me butterflies here and there. But I don't know, Derek makes the butterflies crazy. It's just the past months I felt so miserable when I couldn't be with him. Finn, made me feel better. But…"
Meredith froze on her words. She though back to what Derek had said in the kitchen
I'm in love with you. I've been in love with for...forever. I'm a little late. I know I'm a little late to tell you that. I just want you to take your time. You know? Take all the time you need. Because you have a choice to make. And when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.
Izzie interrupted "but Derek is the one." Izzie paused. "You need to tell him Meredith and let Finn down gently."
"I know, I'm in love with Derek." Meredith smiled. She now knew how Derek could not stop smiling once he said it.
"Iz, I have to go make a call." Meredith jumped off the bed and grabbed her cell phone.
"Tell Derek I said hi." Izzie yelled
Meredith walked onto her front porch with the phone. It was slightly windy outside and her strawberry blonde hair flew gently.
On the other end of the line a man answered. "Hey Stranger, how are you?"
"Finn."
"What's up Meredith.?" Finn knew by her voice, what she intended to say.
"Finn, you are a great guy. The better guy, but.."
Finn had a knot in his throat, but managed to say, "But he's the one."
Finn felt the anger rise, but only for it to fall a moment later.
"Meredith, you should be with the guy that makes you happy. He does that for you. I think you are the most amazing girl. But we were not meant for each other, we were meant to be friends." He knew he was saying the right words. "Go get him Tiger." Finn knew he had to let her go; she needed to be with the one she loved.
"Thanks Finn." Meredith swallowed a not in her throat. Finn was so caring and she knew that he would find love, but not with her.
"Bye Meredith."
"Goodnight Finn." Meredith knew as soon as she hung up the phone, that she had just taken a huge step in the right direction. She walked back into her bedroom, where she saw Izzie and Christina eating from the pint ice cream and laughing.
"Hey, how did it go? Izzie told me." They saw Meredith wipe a tear from her eye. She sat on the bed and held her best friends hands.
"Oh, my. Finn just wasn't the one." Meredith admitted while she began to cry again.
"McDreamy is the McMan for you. We've all known that longer than you two have." Christina rolled her eyes and stroked Meredith's hair to reassure her.
"And I really wish he wasn't"
Christina paused. "Why do you wish that?"
"I…I don't know. It scares me. A man that I have been dreaming about says he loves me back. He is married, he said things, and we did things. I'm the home wrecker." Meredith said as she decided to lie back onto the bed.
Izzie rolled her eyes and took her friends hand. "Don't you think the home was broken when she slept with McSteamy? Or when he left New York? Or maybe years ago and they were just too blind to see it? Meredith, he loves you. Get him, get your Prince Charming."
Christina picked up Meredith's cell phone and handed it to her. "I have to go check on Burke, Izzie you want to come stay at my house tonight?"
Izzie looked at Meredith. "Yea, thanks Christina. I could really use a change of scenery. Meredith call Derek."
Meredith just paused and looked at Izzie.
"Meredith call now!" Izzie said in a demanding tone.
"I am."
"Now." Christina shouted and Meredith dialed the number. Her friends walked out and shut the door behind them and got ready to leave.
Meredith's hands were shaky from her nerves. A million thoughts went through her head, but instead she just hit the Send button on her phone.
Ring one, nothing.
Ring Two, nothing.
Ring three. "Hey you."
Meredith froze. She had not thought through the rest of the call.
"Can we talk?" Meredith uttered. "I mean, can you come over?
"I'm on my way." Derek hung up the phone so quickly he forgot to tell Meredith goodbye. He grabbed his keys and ran to his car.
This is all for this chapter…sorry I took so long. I hope this one was not too bring, it is more or less a filler chapter. Keep reviewing!!!
