Note from the author: Yes I know, I'm barely updating but I have reason why; school. So don't give up on me.
She walks right up to his face, lifts her hand, slaps him hard and turns around out of the room.
Wow. I mean, I can't believe I just slapped my boss. Well, my boss' boss. Well, my ex-boyfriend. He goes under a lot of categories. Stop rambling! Okay, so what just happened? Right, angry me, Derek insult, then me slapping him. Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Meredith was so lost in thought, walking away from the on-call room that she didn't hear the footsteps that were following her. The footsteps were going faster behind Meredith, trying to catch up with her. Then the person finally caught her by the arm and lead her to another on-call room.
Meredith stunned tried seeing whoever grabbed her but the lights were shut off.
"What the hell? Who are you?"
"Enough crap, what the hell happened in there?"
As soon as Meredith heard her person's voice she felt comfort.
"Jeez Cristina I thought you were Derek"
"Whatever you're talking now? Something must of happened to take you out of you're Mcdreamy-broke-me-again phase"
"Shut up" then she giggled.
"So, tell me what happened in there? All I heard were a bunch of screams but I couldn't hear any words"
Meredith smiled to herself knowing Cristina couldn't see her, she felt comfort that she can talk to her best-friend.
Meredith explained and Cristina listened. When Meredith was done explaining not telling her the parts of her cutting and then Alex finding out, there was a silence.
Finally, Cristina spoke up first.
"Do you need me to drag a body?"
She giggled. "Not anytime soon. I just… miss him so much. But I don't want to be missing him. I want him to be the one hurting this time. I'm always the one suffering while he's with an Addison or a Rose."
"You mean McHorseTeeth"
"Is that what you're calling her because you know she's not that bad. I can actually say she's nice. She's bright and shiny me."
"Why are you defending your ex-boyfriend's girlfriend?"
"Because she's not the one who hurt me."
Cristina stayed silent thinking of how to comfort her person.
"I got it!"
"What do you have?!"
"Date Sloan"
Meredith and Cristina stayed silent for three second before bursting out laughing. Cristina knew that idea would cheer her up. After what seemed like forever of laughing, Meredith spoke up.
"Thanks for you know… cheering me up and…stuff."
"I'm your person, that's what I'm here for."
A silence passed.
"We're not going to do the thing… when there's a moment…and then hugging. I may be you're person but that's just-"
"Ew."
"Yeah, so I have to go surgery with Hahn finally."
"Congrats, bye"
Meredith was still in the on-call room when her pager started beeping. It was Derek.
Oh crap, I'm screwed. Okay, maybe it's just a case. Maybe he wants to apologize. Oh, who am I kidding, we're talking about Derek. Mcdreamy, McAsshole.
Meredith made her way down to the nurses' station. He was already waiting there and he did not look happy.
"Dr. Sheperd, you paged."
I hate when she calls me that.
I hate when I call him that.
They both thought when she said it.
"Yes Dr. Grey, we need to talk." He said sounding cold.
"Unless it's about a case then fine but if it's on a personal matter than I'm busy."
"Actually, I just wanted to warn you about your suspension."
"Excuse me?"
"Well, you hit a resident and that resident told the Chief. He says you're suspended for a week."
Meredith was pissed off. She looked Derek in the eyes. If looks can kill, Derek would be getting tortured by now.
"I apologize Dr. Sheperd."
"That doesn't matter anymore. You don't matter to me anymore."
Meredith looked around noticing all the nurses watching there little discussion. Meredith was bright red from anger and embarrassment again!
Rose was there watching the scene. She has to help Meredith out of this.
"Dr. Grey, can I need your assistance please"
Meredith turned around and saw Rose. What does she want? Before Meredith can respond Rose was grabbing her by the arm. Meredith winced. She noticed immediately and let go. She wasn't the only one who noticed.
"I'm sorry" she went around to her right side and led her to an exam room.
Meredith looked at her, not knowing what to say.
Rose was the first to speak.
"Look, I know you probably hate me for kissing Derek but I swear, I didn't know you guys were together and-"
"It's okay, we weren't together."
"Oh I just assumed since you looked so-"
"No, we were just friends"
"Now you're not?"
Meredith was uncomfortable at where this conversation was leading.
"Listen, thank you for saving in there but I don't know you. We're not friends. I don't even trust my friends with most of my problems."
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I just… he really loves you."
Meredith scoffs.
"And how would you know that? Wait… you're dating him. I forgot. Sorry, if I'm sounding… well like a bitch. "
"No problem and I don't think Derek and I are going to work."
"Why not? He really likes you" likes you enough to kiss you while he was waiting for me.
"He doesn't like me. I'm just a replacement but he can't replace the love of his life."
Meredith was silent.
"Listen, the reason why I saved you is because you and Derek… you guys are meant to be and that guy out there… that wasn't Derek. Actually I don't even know who that was."
"He was mad. We had a thing in the the on-call room…and he screamed then I screamed…then he insulted me which ended up with me slapping him."
Oh my god, did I just tell her that? HER?! Of all people I can tell I told my ex-boyfriends girlfriend. Damn me and my rambling.
"Well, even if he still loves you. Also, I saw your wrist."
Double crap.
"What are you talking about?" Meredith said trying to act stupid.
"Come Dr. Grey, I am a nurse and I see teenagers in and out of the hospital with bandages on their wrist."
"It was an accident plus who are you to care what I do?" Meredith started becoming defensive.
"Okay, I'm sorry if I've offended you but Derek loves you and he wouldn't want you doing that" she pointed to her wrist.
Meredith knew she was right. Damn her, she's bright and shiny AND smart.
'Well, that's the thing with us being broken up, I don't have to care what he'd want me to do."
"Yeah but now that I'm involved I have to be sure you stop."
"Involved? You're not involved in anything and I don't need your pity"
"I am involved once I saw your wrist, I got involved and I do not pity you."
"Fine, and I already told someone else I'd stop so you have nothing to worry about."
"Okay good. Do you want me to change your bandage or something?"
"Actually that would be great."
Rose was un-bandaging her arm and when she was done, her wrists started to bleed.
"Wow you did a bang up job… you'll need a couple stitches on that cut."
"Thank you… you know for not… saying anything to Derek."
"No problem."
Just as Rose was standing up to get her suture kit, Derek came through the door.
He immediately saw Meredith's bleeding wrists.
"What the hell is going on in here?!"
