Noticing that he couldn't go wrong with his idea, Derek jumped out of his bed that he was staying in at Izzie's, picked up an old radio and some batteries, speeding out the door. He jumped into his car; he knew exactly what Meredith wanted: and that was him. All he needed to do was give her what she always wanted from him and they could live happily together again. He pulled in the driveway, only seeing Meredith's car in the driveway which made him even more ecstatic. He still would have done it, even with Aiden there, but he just felt more comfortable if it was just the two of them. Shivers ran down his body; he held a large toothy grin on his face, thinking that he knew exactly what he needed to do for his Meredith. Standing under her window, he placed the radio down, turning it on to play a familiar karaoke tune as he began to sing at the top of his lungs,

"I want you to want me!
I need you to need me!"

By this time Meredith had ran to her window to see what all the commotion was. Looking down, she saw Derek standing directly below her; he was singing her absolute favorite song at the top of his lungs. . .to the world.

"Id love you to love me!
Im beggin you to beg me!
Ill shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt!
Ill get home early from work if you say that you love me!!"

She had escaped from her window, rushing downstairs. As she opened the door, she came almost face to face with him as he kept singing

"Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin?" He still sang to her; her face seemed full of sorrow rather than cheer. Fearing that his plan wasn't going exactly as he planned, he tried a little bit louder to emphasize his point.

"Oh, didn't I, didnt I, didn't I see you cryin?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like-"

"Derek stop!" She scolded, stopping him instantly. "Why do you do this to me? Why do you torture me?"

He smiled, looking at her straight in her eyes, "Because. . .Because," he now raised his voice to a scream, as though shouting to the world rather than her, "I love you Meredith Grey!!!" She stopped instantly, taking a deep breath as she tried to hold back her tears; it was the first time 'I love you' actually came out of his mouth rather than 'ditto', or 'me too.' " Meredith, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you." He said laughing as tears brimmed his eyes as well as hers, "So pick me, choose me, love me."

"Derek," Was all she could force out. Even though tears brimmed her lids, he could tell that it wasn't for the same reason that his tears would spill over any minute. His smile suddenly dropped; all hope was gone. Shaking his head lightly, he muttered the words "No, no, no," under his breath, he knew what was going to come next as he looked down at her hand. "Derek. . .Derek, I'm engaged."

"Oh. . .No, no, Mer, no. . ." He said as his head shook, his breathing quickly increasing.

"I'm sorry Derek," She said, letting a few tears slip down her red face, "I am so sorry." Taking a few steps back slowly, she watched him as she backed into her house. The last thing she saw was Derek's mouth hanging open, standing there slouched in the middle of her lawn before she turned off the light and ran to her room where she cried all night.
