Chapter Five:
A/N: Thank you for all of the reviews, they make me smile a lot : )! I am sad today, because last night we had our performance after a week of vocal workshop and I'm sad because I miss everyone and I miss singing so much everyday! So I will write some happy fanfiction to cheer me up!
Also, ahah I'll probably be making it very stereotypical so I hope I don't offend anyone by that or whatever. I don't think all these stereotypes are accurate at all, I'm just using them for the story.

"Mark!" For a moment, Addison was torn between being angry at the man for being so… whoreish, but decided to use a different tactic.
"Addison?" Mark turned around from the conversation he hadn't been much participating in with a look of shock on his face. Derek, who he saw just over Addison's shoulder, grinned at him sympathetically. "What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here? I went to this high school, and Derek made me come to the reunion." Mark's mouth formed the shape of an O as he realized that this was the event that Derek had been telling him Addison was dreading for the past few weeks. How had he made that mistake?
"Addison." Jessica Thompson. Addison's instinct was still to back down and retreat to a safe place, perhaps the music room, despite all of the years that had passed since she was well, ridiculed and bullied by this girl. Or well, woman, would be the appropriate word now, she supposed. "Addison. I remember that name vaguely. Addison…"
"Montgomery." She supplied.
"Ohh!" Jessica smirked in recognition. "As if the hair didn't tip me off! Addison Montgomery, band geek extraordinaire. And of course, you remember me." Mark was looking between Addison and Jessica with total surprise. Since he and Derek had met Addison in med school, he had never heard anyone talk to her anywhere near a condescending tone and get away with it.
"Jessica Thompson, the biggest slut of all the cheerleaders. How could anyone forget?" Mark tried to hide his smile, trying not to find his best friend, his hot best friend fighting with the random, hot girl he'd picked up in a bar a turn on.
"At least boys noticed me." Jessica retorted sweetly.
"At least I got into University." Addison shot back.
"Well, it doesn't make much difference since my boyfriend went to University." Jessica smiled, batting her eyelashes at Mark who was already wanting to start whining to Addison for being the reason he didn't get laid later.
"I'm glad you're such a feminist."
"Addison," Mark began.
"Was she trying to steal you from me, baby?" Jessica asked cutely to Mark who smiled weakly at her. Derek had to laugh at that one. Before he and Addison were together, he didn't know if he could count how many times Addison turned Mark down, the idea of her trying to steal him from somebody was quite amusing.
"No, she didn't." Mark tried to hide his smile; really he did, but Addison trying to steal him? If she wanted him, she could have him.
"How long have you two been together?" Addison asked.
"Two and a half months." Jessica answered confidently. Mark was frantically trying to remember the back story Jessica had given him, in case anyone asked. Not that it mattered much now anyways.
"So this must be about the longest relationship you've ever had," Addison smirked.
"Yeah? And what about you? I don't see you having a hot guy dating you." Jessica smiled triumphantly, having one up on Addison who she was genuinely surprised in. Who knew that under the braces, unflattering clothes and clarinet there was a woman who was almost as attractive as herself and who actually had the audacity to argue and question her? If she had she may have actually been friends with the girl during high school. "It's okay, maybe eventually someone will notice you." Cue Derek, Mark thought. It was almost sickly sweet how those two always had each other's backs at the absolute moment they were needed.
"Here's your drink, Ads." Derek smiled, giving her a peck on the lips. "Hey Mark!"
"Derek." Mark nodded through clenched teeth. Maybe he could pick up another girl at the reunion, probably not as hot as Jessica, but still, there were other girls here.
"Mark I'm sort of offended," Addison smirked. "You've had a girlfriend for two and a half months and you didn't tell anyone? She isn't that bad looking, in fact, I thought you'd be bragging." This was the first time Jessica regretted picking up the hottest guy at the bar.
"And I'm very offended. Isn't this supposed to be the type of thing best friends discuss?" Derek would try to make him sound gay.
"You didn't tell your friends we were dating?" Jessica reacted the first way she thought of. This reunion was supposed to be the highlight of her year. Everyone loved her, but now… well it was only just Addison Montgomery. She would leave tonight, but she would not let a total geek destroy her weekend. Obviously this was war, she decided as her hand came across Mark's cheek. "We're so over." As she stalked off, Addison and Derek burst into laughter.
"Guys," Mark whined. "I was so getting laid tonight! And you had to go ruin it."
"My goal in life is to ruin your sex life, Mark." Addison rolled her eyes. "But I do sort of feel a little bitchy…"
"Ads, didn't that girl make your life a living hell for four years?" Derek asked.
"Yes…"
"Then I'm glad I got to play a part in humiliating her, even if it did cost me getting laid." Mark told her, though he was still pouting.
"You're lucky Mark's not always this sweet Derek, or I might have chosen him over you."
"I don't know how you two fit both of your egos into this room." Derek teased.
"It's a bit of a tight fit." Mark nodded. "What am I supposed to do now? Leave?"
"You could stay with us if you want," Addison shrugged.
"But not too late. You may not be getting laid tonight but…" Addison smacked him on the arm before he finished that sentence.
"Maybe I'll try to pick up another girl here," Mark decided.
"We could stick him on Jenna," Addison laughed as they headed back over towards the bar.
