So, I tried to add a bit of drama, but still keep them happy. It was tough.
The first song lyrics are "Stars and Boulevards" by Augustana
The second is "I Saw it on Your Keyboard" by Hellogoodbye.
Wait dear, a white horse is walking down my street here,
your words are creeping at my feet
I fear, sunrise will come too soon and you'll disappear
Into the haze of this city and go south...
She heard voices, a female voice to be exact, coming from outside the trailer. The other voice was deep and growl like, but not husky. The voice sounded as if it resented the person standing in front of it. Tip-toeing her way to the door, she pulled it open quietly, but the second she saw the site in front of her she felt like slamming it closed again, but her mouth stood agape and her heart felt a twinge of pain.
Look out, they're coming after us with big guns,
They're only gonna tell you all the bad things I've done
Even if the words they say aren't true, they've won,
And I'm left here dyin' in the sun
Derek leaned against a pillar on the porch, some leggy brunette standing next to him. Her voice was husky, not his. She reached out and touched his cheek, running her finger along it. Derek flinched, pulling away slightly, easing Meredith's heart. The girl looked up slightly, noticing Meredith standing there. Her gaze turned devilish, and she leaned in, planting a kiss on Derek's lips.
Oh...seems like I'm always on my own,
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my...
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you...
Meredith gasped for air, feeling her chest cave in and her mind went fuzzy. McDreamy was more like McAss. Meredith backed up, causing a loud creak to erupt from the floor behind her, also causing Derek to turn around quickly. He saw her expression, the hurt, the pain, and he felt as if his whole world was about to cave in, not just his chest. He bolted, taking two steps at a time up the stairs, but the door slammed in his face, and he heard her muffled sniffles and her feet scrambling to pick up all of her clothes.
Late nights, won't do me justice
Cause when I drink...I just get so damn depressed,
And it's...
It's not like, I ain't trying to get over you.
It's just hard to look at all the seasons, pass me over too...and I say
"Meredith," he opened the door. "That's not what it looks like, I swear."
"SHUT UP!" she yelled, a fresh tear rolling down one cheek. "It is what it looks like, some leggy brunette feeling her way up you." She sniffled again and pushed past him as she pulled up her sweatpants from the night before, walking out the door.
"And who is this Der baby?" she brunette asked, causing Meredith to stop and glare momentarily.
Oh...seems like I'm always on my own,
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my...
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you...
"It's none of your business Melanie." He replied coldly, running after Meredith, pounding on her car door as she slammed it shut. "Meredith please."
One last phone call from you, it wouldn't hurt much,
I'd just like to hear your voice and pretend to touch,
Any inch of you that hasn't said it all or read it all
Or sung my life away
It was déjà vu again. Him pounding on the door, her crying, the clouds above roaring. Except this time, Meredith didn't mouth anything to him, she drove away, but the tears were still rolling down her cheeks.
And I say oh...seems like I'm always on my own,
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my...
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you...
Derek leaned back in his office chair, his eyes red from lack of sleep and depression. She drove away, she ran again. She didn't leave the state, but she left him. It hurt just as bad as the first time though.
"Aww Derek, sweetie, I think it is my business." Melanie pouted, twirling a perfectly curled piece of hair around her finger, her devilish grin still on her face.
"You did that on purpose!" he yelled, running his hands furiously through his hair.
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. But it's your fault for bringing your one-night stand back to your house." She said, smirking in bitterness.
"Meredith is not a one night stand, I'm in love with her. I love her." He yelled again, looking at Melanie with eyes of rage.
"You can't love that bimbo Derek, she's just finishing her internship." Melanie shot back, hurt by his words. She was in love with him at once, but of course, he hadn't loved her back.
"Damnit Melanie! She's not a bimbo, she's Meredith Grey. The love of my life, and you can't change that. You need to leave, now." He said quickly, walking over to her car and opening the door.
"Derek, she's not what you need, she can't make you happy." Melanie muttered as she slid into her car seat.
Meredith did make him happy, it was all he wanted. He wasn't about to second guess being in love just because some other bimbo wandered back into his life momentarily. He couldn't let things get in the way of him and Meredith anymore. He had to corner her, even if it had to be in public. Derek shot up, his heart full of purpose and desire. He needed her, he couldn't live without her.
"Rhonda! Have you seen Dr. Grey?" he shouted, looking around the hall.
"Yes, Dr. Shepherd, she ran that way about two minutes ago." She said, pointing down the main surgical wing hall way.
Derek took off at a run, all of his senses about keeping them a secret leaving. He saw her, leaning over the nurse's station, her file open as she scribbled furiously away at the prescription details. She looked tired, beat down, defeated. Derek sighed, taking in her appearance, the way he had hurt her.
"Meredith!" he yelled, jogging up to her, grabbing her arm before she could turn away. "You don't understand Meredith." He pleaded, his eyes smoldering rather than glistening.
"I understand perfectly, you found some other woman to satisfy your needs. Apparently I couldn't." she hissed under her breath.
"Meredith that's not it. You really don't understand!" he whispered, his grip tightening on her arm slightly.
She couldn't hold it any longer, her eyes were starting to water, and her voice had to be heard.
"Then explain it to me!" she yelled, struggling to free her arm, but his grip was stronger than her yanks, causing her to pant for air after a good minute or two of trying to run. Meredith looked up at him, a tear finally rolling down her cheek.
"Fine, I want to." He replied calmly, caring less and less about who was watching them. "Melanie is her name, she is an old fling. Just a fling." He repeated. "She was in school with me, not med school though.
We had a thing, and she had stronger feelings for me than I did for her. But she's the jealous type, that's why she did that on purpose in front of you the other day. To get a rise out of me, and to break your heart in hopes that she could have me back."
"Well then, why don't you go running back to her since she seems to love you so much." Meredith said bitterly, her eyes leaving sadness and filling with anger. She didn't like to share.
"I can't do that Meredith!" he said, his voice rising. He let go of her arm, but grabbed her hand instead, and despite her struggling, he pulled her into him, wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. Her hands pushed against his chest, trying to get away, but she couldn't, soon giving up and dropping her arms to her side.
"You see, I can't do that because my heart is already gone. And no matter how bad you handle it or hold it, it's still gone. It's yours, I gave it too you two years ago, and I don't ever plan on asking for it back." He said, grinning as she gave up, he always thought she was cutest when she was mad.
There exists a melody
That just might change your mind
Oh! If only I knew the key
To sing to make you mine.
"Seriously?" she asked, irritation in her voice. "Seriously?!" she said louder again, this time adding a punch with her fist into his arm.
"Yes, seriously. And everyone in this hospital can hear it." He said, pulling her closer, tightening his grip. Her felt her sigh and slowly lift her arms to wrap around his waist, barely making it all the way around.
Then I saw it on your keyboard
You saw it on my sleeve
I never knew a heart existed
Outside of make believe
Until I saw it on your keyboard
I knew at least that I might have a chance
To catch a shooting star
"Okay, I'm sorry." She said, huffing. "I just don't like sharing." She said with another shake of her body, but this time with a small hint of laughter.
There exists a star above
That always steals my stare
And there exists a star on stage
That never seems to care
Derek grinned and lifted her face out of the crook of his neck, kissing her lightly, a small peck on her lips. He stepped back and grabbed her hand, lacing their fingers. "Well good, because I love you." He said, nodding.
"I love you too." She said, smiling.
Then I saw it on your keyboard
You saw it on my sleeve
I never knew a heart existed
Outside of make believe
Until I saw it on your keyboard
I knew at least that I might have a chance
To catch a shooting star
"Good, because now that the whole hospital knows, you might as well get used to saying it in public." He stifled a laugh, grinning at her glare.
"And let the rumors fly." She sighed, tip-toeing up to give him a quick kiss on the cheek before walking away.
"Oh, nice. Leave me to handle the first round of rumors." He shouted to her, laughing at her small wave over the shoulder. She was as stubborn as a mule.
There exists a melody
That just might change your mind
Oh! If only I knew the key
To sing to make you mine.
