Title: Scalpels are my best friend.

Summary: After the disappointment of 4.11, Meredith can't take the heartache so she finds something else to do to feel relief.

Note: Thanks for such great reviews! Here is the confrontation...I don't really like it but whatever its the best I can do for now.

I still don't own Grey's Anatomy but if I did I'd hire all of the fanfiction writers and create episodes from their stories!


The door opened and then her eyes met blue.

She immediately bowed her head and shut her eyes.

"I told you not to-"

"Well that's too bad."

His voice was stern and almost as if he was certain.

"Why are you here Derek?"

"Why wouldn't I be here?"

"Because I told you that I didn't love you."

"Yeah well I know a liar when I see one because I'm a liar."

She lifted her head so she can meet his eyes. She was angry.

"Did you just call me a liar?!"

"Yes and you're a good one too. You almost had me before but I know better."

"What are you talking about?"

"You're little speech about not loving me and wishing you never met me… That was all a big lie. I should have known before but you're lying skills are better than I thought."

"Derek, have you lost your mind? Did someone hit you over the head? Or are you just in denial?"

"Oh, contraire, the only person in denial here is you."

Meredith just closed her eyes and shook her head from side to side.

"Okay, this is a nightmare. You are not in my room being a jackass while I am trying to recover. When I open my eyes you'll be gone."

She opened her eyes and he was gone. Wow that actually worked.

Then she sighed and lay down. When she shifted her head, he was right beside her.

"What the hell!? I thought you left!?"

"I think you would have heard the door shut if I had left the room."

"Smartass." She mumbled under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Leave! Just get out!"

"I'll leave only if you give me a real reason to."

"Because!"

"Sorry, that's just not going to cut it. I guess you're stuck with me."

"I'll just wait till Cristina comes back, then we'll see who's all high and mighty."

"Actually, she's the one who got everyone out of here and then literally stared me down into talking to you."

Meredith's eyes went wide and she couldn't believe that Cristina, her person, would do that to her.

Fine, if he's not leaving then I'll just ignore him.

Meredith looked straight ahead, sighed, laid back and closed her eyes.

Oh, she wants to make this difficult. Fine, we'll have it her way.

"You can pretend to sleep all you want I'm still not leaving."

Meredith just laid there with her eyes closed as if he wasn't there.

"Okay, you rest and I'll talk…" he paused and checked to see if she budged. Nope, she was still pretending to sleep.

"… anyway, I heard what happened to you, when you were thirteen. I didn't know you back then but I'm just glad that you didn't succeed. I can actually say that I'm glad you didn't succeed in something." He chuckled.

"So, here we are again, broken up. And yet we always find our way back to each other."

Her eyes shot open and she rose up.

"No, we did not find each other. You are just stalking me and trying to break me again. I'm just trying to repair from the last break up."

"Right, is that what you call it?"

"What?"

He pointed to her wrist.

"That. Is that what you call "repairing"? Because if you do, you should find another way, try tequila again, at least that didn't almost kill you."

"Stop it! You don't get to care how I choose to repair what you broke!" Just then they both had a flashback from the first time she said that.

"I never should have told you about George."

"No, I'm glad I know. You get around a lot. George, the vet, who's next? Alex, because I heard he likes to sleep around. You two have that in common." He turned around to leave but then Meredith grabbed his arm.

"You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had met the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done so all the boys and all the bars and all of the obvious daddy issues, who cares? Because I was done, you left me. You chose Addison, I do not make apologizes for how I chose to repair what you broke; you don't get to call me a whore. "

"This thing with us is finish. It's over."

"Finally."

"It's done."

"It is done." They both walked their separate ways.

"Funny, I think I just sensed a déjà vu." Her voice was cold.

"Meredith, I'm sorry for what I said that day, I had no right-"

"Like you how you don't now."

"No, actually I have a right to care because you're my Meredith. The most stubborn and most difficult person I've ever known but I love you. And I'm not going away just because you know how to lie through you're teeth. I'm staying whether you want me to or not because I can't see my life without you in it."

Meredith couldn't look at him. Throughout his whole speech, her eyes were everywhere but at him. What do I say to that?

"If you're just going to ignore what I just said well good luck because I'm going to be coming to you're room everyday, I wont have to say anything because I've said my piece but I'm just going to be here for you. You may not be sure but I am the only man for you Meredith Grey, you're just too stubborn to see that."

He came right up to her bed sat down and kissed her cheek. And she let him. Oh God, I am not giving in. No, I, Meredith Grey will not give in to Derek Sheperd.

"Well, by you letting me kiss you without hitting me or screaming at me, I guess you heard what I said. I'll call your friends back in here."

He walked to the door and stopped turned around and said

"Bye Meredith Grey, you'll see me soon."

Then he turned around and left.

She let out a breath and her eyes started tearing up.

Wow. Damn him for being so goddamn McDreamy! I will not cry over him. No, I wont let myself. I will not give him the advantage. I do not love him. I don't, he will not come back in this room.


When he left the room and ran straight into an on-call room.

Wow, the adrenaline is still going through me. I cant believe I just did that. I love her so much. She heard me, I know she did.


Cristina saw Derek left so it was their turn to go in.

Everyone made their way in the room but Cristina made sure she was last.

"Hey Mere, you okay?" George asked.

"Uh, yeah, where's Cristina?"

"She's right here." Cristina answered.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Uh, sure what's up?" she said making sure there was distance.

"Come here I just have to ask you something."

"Go right ahead, I'll just stand here beside Alex and Izzie."

"What's going on?" Lexie asked confused by Cristina's fear and the weird look on Meredith's face.

"I'm going to kick Cristina's ass that's what's going on!" Meredith exclaimed trying to get up from her bed.

"Oh no you don't! You stay in that bed and explain why you want to kick her ass." Izzie demanded and pushed her back into bed.

By now Cristina was hiding behind Alex.

"I think we need to sedate her. She's obviously overreacting."

"Don't you dare sedate me! As soon as I get out of this hospital bed my one and only ambition will be to kick your ass Cristina Yang!"

"What I didn't do anything! I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh really, than why at the exact moment you leave Mc-freaking-Dreamy came into my room?"

"Coincidence?"

"You told him to talk to me?"

"No, he was already going too I just gave him a nudge."

"He said you stared him into coming in here."

"Yeah, well… He was coming in here anyway!"

"You're my person, you don't help my ex you help me!"

Izzie pushed her way into the conversation.

"Mere, just give him a chance."

"Not you too! Come on! Do I have anyone on my side?"

"I am that guy doesn't deserve your forgiveness." Alex said.

"Thank you Alex." Meredith's eyes shifted to George and Lexie, waiting for them to say something.

"Uhm, I'm… neutral?" George said.

"Fine…" She looked at Lexie.

"Well, when he talked to me he sounded pretty certain at what he wants with you and it was really-"

"McDreamy like?"

"Yeah, sorry, he just got to me first."

"That's okay; I understand the affect of his stupid McDreamy speeches. Trust me."

"What did he say?" Cristina asked.

"Oh no, you don't get to know! You can ask him yourself." She scolded and folded her arms.

"Oh come on Mere, you can't be mad at me now, maybe later but not now."

She looked at her for a second and almost forgot her situation.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"So what McDreamy speech did he give you this time?" Izzie asked.

"A speech most woman would love to hear. Including phrases like I'm here for you, I love you and I'm the only man for you. Then he gave me a kiss."

"You kissed him?!" All the woman exclaimed.

"No! He came up to me and kissed my cheek."

"Aw, he's so-" Izzie was cut off by Meredith.

"No, don't say it! If you say it I'm going to be thinking it and I don't want to be thinking of him now. I'm exhausted from his last speech so spare me."

"Thank God, because this conversation is getting way too gay and full of estrogen." Alex said.

"Yeah, please I do not want to accidentally call my attending Dr. McDreamy." George responded.

All the girls looked at the two guys and started laughing.

"Thanks guys! I really needed that." Meredith said smiling.


So there it is. I didn't really like this chapter but review anyway. Thanks for reading.
