CHAPTER 11

Three week's passed since they found out that Meredith was raped things were slowly becoming normal or semi normal which ever you would prefer back at the Shepherd although Meredith hasn't yet talked to Derek about the rape their friendship became even stronger then it ever was rarely they wouldn't leave each other's site unless Derek went to work or in Meredith's case back to school although she wasn't ready quite yet to go back but unfortunately Carolyn insisted that she had to go back even as far to put her in a different school for which quickly she made new friends.
Coming home from school one day she spotted a familar car one that she hoped would never see again,walking into the living room Meredith saw her mother and Carolyn chatting away like they were friends.

"Mother what are you doing here?" She asked sarcastically

Ellis stood up from the couch and glanced at her daughter who was definitely showing her pregnancy now.

"What can't i come see my only child?" Her mother asked

"No not since you kicked me out of home and hospital." Meredith retorted

"Well i'm here to tell you that you won't be seeing alot of me i've been offered chief of surgery in Boston and i figured i would take it." Ellis said

Meredith had become all to familiar with this feeling of trembling so she tried to hide it "So what you're leaving me just like that just like dad did?" Meredith demanded angrily

"Don't bring your father into this Meredith when i sent you away i meant it but now you get to stay here with these people until you're 18 so consider yourself lucky." Ellis said and she picked up her purse and had started to head for the door when she heard her daughter trying to say something looking back she wished she could be a better mother like Mrs Shepherd was but unfortunately wasn't able to and looking at her daughter who was trying not to cry she knew that was the best thing that could happen to her but it didn't make it any easier to walk away from her.

Meredith couldn't believe what had just happend to her did her own mother just say goodbye to her her only daughter? just as she was starting put herself back together after the rape now for her it was back to being dark and gloomy once again she started to walk towards the stairs when she felt Carolyn's hand on her shoulder and saw the concern on her face.

"Is everything alright Meredith?" Carolyn asked.

"Sure everything is just fine my mother decides to show up just to say goodbye,yeah i'm real good thanks i think i'm going to lay down for awhile to be by myself." Meredith said and walked away from Carolyn who just shook her head sadly feeling sorry for the girl who was once again feeling abandoned by the one person she was supposed to for her she picked up the phone and tried calling her son who she knew was extremely busy so she just left a message for him to call her back. A few minutes later the phone began to ring and it was Derek who was calling.

"What's up mom?" Derek asked

"It's about Meredith dear i think she's about to have a meltdown." Carolyn said

"Why would she have another meltdown?is she alright?what happend?" He asked worriedly

"Her mother showed up and basically said goodbye and left and Meredith didn't take it to well." His mother responded

Derek cursed silently damn Ellis Grey how could she do this to her if he ever got another glimpse of her there will be no one to stop him from strangling her."I don't blame her where is she now?"He asked

"In her room resting where i suspect she's crying i figure just to leave her alone." Carolyn said

Derek wanted to punch the wall or throw something for that matter for everytime that Meredith was in pain "I'll try to get home soon but it depends how everything goes."

"No rush dear i just wanted to let you know what was happening before you came back i'll let you get back to work now." His mom said and Derek responded back with a goodbye and hung up his phone now suddenly eager to get home and try to help Meredith out but unfortunately had to wait a few more hours before he could do few hours became eight more so he ended up not leaving the hospital until a little after midnight and knew it was to late in the night to help her out. Arriving home 10 minutes later he thought he could see Meredith's light on but he wasn't sure so as he made his way into the house the first thing he did was go towards her room where in fact the light was on Derek gently knocked on the dooe and when he heard nothing he became quite concerned so he walked into the room and was relieved that she was still wide awake but still laying down.

"How are you Meredith i heard you had a rough day?" Derek asked but was greeted by silence.

"Meredith you can talk to me about this you know that right?"He asked and became a little nervous when she still didn't answer him.

"Come on Mer don't you trust me at least a little?" Derek asked worriedly

"Right now i don't trust anyone."Meredith said very softly and he barely heard it.

"Meredith i know what happend with your mother and you have every right to be betrayed but please let me help you get through this." Derek pleaded and watched as Meredith turned her back towards him and whispered "Can you get the light's on the way out please?" She asked and he reluctantly walked away from her and turned the light's out and before he closed the door he said "You can count on me always remember that." And on that note he walked into his room where he took off his clothes and got under neath the blankets saying a little prayer to god to help them all before falling asleep at last.

For the next few weeks after her mother left Meredith was still moody and distant without looking directly at both Derek and Carolyn who desperately wanted to help her in any way but for the moment she didn't want anybody's help all she wanted to do is be left wasn't that mean not to join them at the table for breakfast or supper however after that it was a different story after what her mother did all she wanted was for some peace and quiet. She was thinking those thoughts when she walked towards the house and once again spotted a familiar car and believed it to be her ex boyfriends, oh great she thought to herself what did HE want now it was too late for apologies so what could he possibly want this time? walking into the house she noticed that Carolyn was talking to Alex and furiously at that so she dropped her bag capturing both of their attentions.

"Alex what in the hell are you doing here?i thought i made it clear that if i saw you anywhere near me again i would call the police." Meredith said furiously.

"Relax babe i was checking to see how you're doing." He said smirking and that pissed Meredith off even more.

She moved towards him"Relax BABE i'm doing just fine so just get the hell out of here."She said jabbing at his chest

"What the hell is your problem now ?all i did was come over to see how you were doing geez." Alex muttered

"You and my mom are the problem so get out ." She hissed feeling the heat that was spreading across her face.

"I think you're the problem so why don't you... what the hell Meredith?" He askes stunned as Meredith had him by the collar of his jacket.

Carolyn saw what was happening and ran towards the girl who was barely hanging on "You raped me you son a bitch and god help me from me wanting to kill you right now except we have company ,and you say i'm the problem?well new flash you bastard YOU MADE ME THIS WAY." Meredith screamed and Carolyn had to literally pull her away from the young man who was staring at her in shock.

Carolyn pointed at the door "If i were you i would leave right now before my son walks in again." And this time Alex didn't hesistate knowing what her son was capable turned back and saw that Meredith had gone back upstairs wanting to be alone so she went over and called her son and demanded that he call her back immediately. Two minutes later the phone rang and Carolyn picked it up before the first ring finished.

"What's wrong?" Her son asked and Carolyn told him what had happend and he promised to be home as soon as he could.

Driving as fast as he could Derek arrived home ten minutes later watching as his mother literally stood by the door waiting for him.

"Where is she?" Derek demanded as he made his way inside the house

Carolyn noticed how angry he was "She went to her room and she respond to a word i'm saying."

Derek went upstairs and knocked on Meredith's door and knew he wouldn't get a response so he went in and was shocked by what he saw.

"Meredith... MEREDITH!." Derek yelled when he couldn't find her anywhere and the next thing he knew was the sound of his mother's footsteps quickly approach him.

"Derek why are you yelling... where's Meredith she was just here?" Carolyn said.

He should have seen this coming the signs were there "I think she ran away."

"Ran away... oh no we have to find her." Carolyn cried

"We will she can't be to hard to find let's go." Derek assured his mother and they both rushed into their coats and began the search of their lives.

Honestly i didn't plan on this sudden turn of events but as i kept on writing this chapter the idea hit me to have Meredith run away after all that she's been through who could blame her right? so look forward to the next chapter where the search takes them to a place no one expected to be so please stay the mean time i hoped you enjoyed this chapter i would have had this up and running sooner but this was a rewrite from another angle i was going to try but didn't work out so please review it it means alot when you do so thanks and enjoy!
