Meredith woke up the next morning in a familiar bed. She smiled and got out of bed took a shower and got dressed in her black cashmere sweater and white sweat pants that had the juicy emblem on the side. She pulled her hair into a quick messy ponytail and looked in the mirror. She looked natural but she also knew she looked good. She put on lip gloss and then slipped on white tennis shoes.

"Izzie! George!"

"Coming!" They both called. She laughed, things were finally back to normal.

"Izzie! Hurry Up!" George screamed and pounded on the bathroom door.

"You know what Mer, you go ahead!" He called, Meredith nodded in agreement and grabbed her keys before entering her knew car an Audi. Mark and Addie had bought it for her for Christmas last year. In return she bought Addie two pairs of Jimmy Choo's and Mark a rolex watch.

She arrived at the hospital and stepped out of her car. She walked a little ways nearer to the entrance but then stopped. She stared ahead of her. Shaking her head at her silliness she walked inside. She waited for the elevator and finally when it came she walked in without realizing someone was already there.

"Hey Mark." She answered her phone.

"Hey Missy." Meredith laughed.

"Hows your first day been so far."

"The usual, George and Izzie fighting over the bathroom." Meredith smiled.

"Well tell her to give George some extra time, us guys have to pretty ourselves up for you girls."

"Hey put Addie on babe."

"Okay slut." He replied making her laugh even more.

"Hey Mer!" Addie said happily.

"Have you seen him yet?" She asked with a know it all tone.

"Nope not.." Someone cleared their throat making Meredith jump. She turned around quickly and almost fell over.

"Addie I'll call you back, bye." She hung up.

"I thought I was alone..." She stuttered. "God you scared me."

He smirked at her and leant back against the wall.

"You're back."

"Yeah..."

"How's Addie and "Mark?" He asked snidely.

"They're good, I'll tell them you asked."

"No need." He replied coldly. Suddenly the elevator stopped in between floors.

"Damn it." Meredith said looking around as if she could find the answers to her problems.

Derek chuckled an annoyed laugh.

"I know how you hate to not have your space. You like to leave, stretch your legs. Sorry for the inconvenience." Derek said.

"You know you chose Addie, and then you walked away, don't blame these stupid things on me. From what I hear you have a girlfriend Hannah." Meredith said infuriated.

"Haley."

"What ever!" Meredith screamed and slid down the cold metal and landed on the floor with a soft thud.

She dialed a number she knew by heart and waited for someone to answer, they didn't.

"Shit." She cursed.

"Meredith why did you leave?" Derek asked in a nicer tone.

"You needed Space remember." She replied, her voice was as cold as steel.

He flinched.

"I meant time, and distance not...New York."

Suddenly his cell phone rang, "Hello?"

"Yeah, I'm at work hun I can't talk right now."

"Yep, fine, tonight whatever. Bye." He said and hung up the phone.

"Trouble in paradise?" Meredith asked sweetly.

"Everything was fine before you turned up."

"Sorry, but I'm not leaving my home just for you again." With that the elevator turned back on and began moving the doors parted and the both stepped off, walking away from eachother once again.
