Chapter 13

"Meredith!" he called for her again.

She ran into the nearst closet and locked the door shut. She immediatly began to sob when she turned the lock. What was he doing here?! She dreamed of him of returning to Seattle and rescuing her from its drama. Now of all times he decides to come. He was supposed to stay in New York! He was supposed to forget about her! He was supposed to sighn the divorce papers...

"Meredith, open the door," the man pounded his fists on the door.

Through her sobs she coked out,"Go away."

"Meredith, I flew the across the country for you."

Meredith fell to the floor. She brought her knees to her head and wrapped her arms around them. Her life officially sucked. Just when she patched things together with Derek this happened! Her ex comes along to ruin it all. Now that she thinks about it she never got the divorce papers back... Is she still married to him? Oh god. She's still married to him! Meredith gasped for air. She couldn't! It-its...!

Meredith opened the door quickly. Face to face with her ex-husband, or is it husband? She whiped her tears with her shirt sleeve,"Did you-? Are we-? Because if we are..."

"Yes."

"I HATE YOU!" she screamed. She couldn't think of anything else so she slapped him and stomped on his foot. He winced in pain as she stomped off. She needed to get away from everything.

"Meredith!"

Mer kept on walking not needing any more drama. An arm grabbed her and pulled in her in an on-call room.

"You're MARRIED?!" Derek yelled. His eyes were full of confusing and anger.

"I guess I am," she whispered looking down.

"AND YOU COULDN'T TELL ME?!" his voice was even louder,"You know when I was confessing to you about Addison and Mark you couldn't of said,'Oh, by the way I'm married too!!!?'"

Meredith continued to look down. A tear streamed down her cheek.

Derek didn't seem to notice,"Why Meredith?! Why?"

"I didn't know," she whispered.

"What?"

"I didn't know," she broke out in sobs.

Derek's face softened when he saw her sob. He hated seeing her like this. He wrapped his arms around her fragile shaking body.

"I didn't know," she said even more desperately.

"Meredith," her husban called after her. Meredith and Derek continued to walk, ignoring him, "Meredith! Come on! I don't even get a hello?"

Mere rolled her eyes annoyed,"Scott just SHUT UP! Please!" she turned around,"Why do you think I traveled across the country?! It was to avoid YOU! Just, go."

"I love you," Scott said.

Meredith stopped frozen in her tracks,"What?"

Derek stopped with her and looked at her curiously. Why would she care if that guy, Scott, loved her? He's obviously hurt her. Plus Meredith has him.Then again, they were married for a while...

"I love you," he repeated.

Meredith panicked and looked at Derek for help. Derek immediatly snaked his arm around Mer's waist and guided her towards the opposite direction.

"I've always loved you! I never stopped!" he called.

Meredith nestled her head on Der's arm while they walked. She knew she loved Derek and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Derek but when Scott came... She felt a lot of things; anger, sorrow, more anger, lonliness, betral, and something she couldn't place. Something that she's just begining to feel with Derek. It felt like... Home.

Its a little short, I know. By the way, thanks for all the great reviews!
