Chapter 14

I'm not going to give anything away, but I'm not Shonda. So, think what that could possibly mean.

"So... Mer. What are you doing in this empty room," Cristina asked when she sat in the bed next to Meredith.

"Oh, nothing," she shrugged,"Just avoiding my ex-husband, whose apparently still my husband and Derek who keeps on asking about my husband who should be my ex-husband because I sent the divorce papers!!!"

Cristina blinked,"Well. That's not what I've heard. I heard, you took vaca in Las Vagas got outragously drunk and married some guy."

"Ugh, great. Just what I need, all the nurses staring at me. Again," Meredith poked harder at her salad.

"That's not as bad as-"

"GETTING LEFT AT THE ALTER! I KNOW, I KNOW!!!!!!" Meredith screamed.

"Sheesh!" Cristina folded her arms,"So, you're married."

"I'm married."

"That sucks," Cristina noted.

"Tell me 'bout it," she chewed on a piece of lettuce,"Oh crap!" Meredith ducked down.

"What?" Cristina started to eat Meredith's salad.

Mer pressed herself against the wall so she couldn't be seen,"See that guy with the brown hair? That's my husband."

Cristina studied him,"Not bad, not bad."

"Ugh! Not the point!" she peeked outside,"I need to go somewhere else."

"Hey what about McDreamy's office?" Cristina suggested blandly.

"What about Derek? He keeps asking me questions!" Mer whined.

"Fine then, your screwed," Cristina rolled her eyes,"Seriously, Mer. Guys always want you. Embrace it! Be a dirty mistress again. You know what they say,'Once a dirty mistress always a dirty mistress.'"

Meredith ducked her head down when she saw Der coming this way,"No one says that."

Cristina ignored Mer's comment,"Oooh look at that. It McDreamy vrs. McHusband."

"What?" Meredith sat up with Cristina to get a better look.

"They're talking... Loudly I'm guessing..." Cristina concentrated on the heated conversation going on outside.

"What are they saying?" Meredith leaned in closer trying to hear what they're saying.

Cristina rolled her eyes and Meredith's ignorance,"Open the door."

"Riiiiight," they both listened to the arguement.

"Just leave Meredith alone!"

"Why should I?! I'm her husband!"

"She's left you!"

"SO?!"

"She gave you divorce papers!!"

"I didn't sign them! SO legally WE ARE MARRIED!!!"

Cristina smirked,"See? Men fight over you. Embrace it!"

Meredith's eyes were wide in fear,"Oh god."

Derek lunged in for a punch. He was toast. Scott was not only a couple of inches taller and stronger but he knows martial arts. Meredith sqeezed her eyes shut not wanting to know what happens next. All she hears are thuds of people hitting flesh. Someone just hit the floor. Not good. Not good.

Someone just screamed. It was a woman's scream. Sounded a little like Izzie's scream. Meredith opened her eyes a tiny bit to see if both men were okay. Security was tearing them apart. Derek looked at the other man with hatrid and anger. Scott looked haughty since he knew he would've won. Derek was bruised and bleeding and Scott only had a couple of scrapes and bruises. So in a sense he did win.

Meredith looked down in shame. This was after all her fault. She's the one who caused it. She's a whore. A big fat adulturous whore. Guilt spread through her body.

"Round one McHusban wins," Cristina announced to no one in particular.

"Just great," Mer muttered under her breath,"Der!" Meredith ran after Derek,"Der are you okay?"

"Peachy," his voice poisonous.

"Um, okay. Well... Thanks... For, you know," Meredith leaned in for a quick kiss. Derek turned suddenly and she kissed his cheek instead. Tears filled her eyes. Wasn't he just fighting for her? And now this?

This is way too confusing, Meredith decided. She started to walk away from the Chief's office.

"Meredith, stay," Richard ordered her.

She obyed. She took a seat next to Derek and stared at the floor.

"What was that?! Derek?! Meredith?!" the Chief yelled even louder.

"Nothing," mumbled Meredith not looking up from her spot on the carpet.

"Nothing?!" Meredith could feel Richard's eyes boring into her skull.

"W-w-well..."

"Well what?!" Cheif was starting to get inpatient with Meredith. Yes she was like a daughter to him but for something like this to happen twice. Twice. And the fact she's in the middle isn't that pleasant either.

"Well, that was apparantly her husband out there," Derek stated flatly.

Richard's face paled. He cleared his throat,"That was him?"

Meredith gathered enough courage to look up at Richard. She nodded her head slowly.

He squinted his eyes. His eyes flashed with hatrid,"Good, 'cause I'm going to kill him!"

Derek widened his eyes surprised by the cheif's sudden out burst. Why would he want to kill Mer's husband?

"Cheif, he's my," she swallowed hard,"husband. Still I mean."

"WHAT?!"

Meredith put her heaed in her hands. She cried softly at the cruel reality of those words. 'husband. Still.' It made her sick to her stomach.

"I thought you filed for a divorce?!" Cheif's nostrils began to flare.

Derek just sat there watching confused. Husband? Divorce? This was all surreal,"Wait, you filed for a divorce?"

Meredith brought her head up slowly to look at Derek,"Yes. Three times. Three times I sent divorce papers," she choked out,"I wanted it to be over. I-I-I can't handle him being here. Its not fair," she whispered,"That's why I came back to Seattle. To start over to live a new life. To be a new me. And now... And now he's back."

Derek's head was filled with so many thoughts,"Wait if you're still married then why do you have your maidan name?"

"I thought it was my name," she spat,"He called to tell me he signed it and that it was over. That bastard," she looked back at the Cheif,"Can I go?"

"If you want," Cheif said with no emotion. When Meredith slammed the door he turned his attention to Derek,"She's fragile."

"I've noticed."

Chief rolled his eyes,"Be carful with her. Stay by her side. Even when she says not to. She needs it. She knows she does she just doesn't know how to tell people. She's worth the work."

Derek nodded,"She is."

'She's an Extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she cant seem to get away

He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She sees the mirror of herself
And image she wants to sell
To anyone willing to buy

He steals the image in her kiss
From her hearts apocalypse
From the one called whatsername

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
Some days he's not worth trying
Now that they're both up on it
She gets so sick of crying

She's an Extraordinary girl
An Extraordinary girl
An Extraordinary girl
An Extraordinary girl'
