Okay, so this update is for mads. She inspired me to write. She did something most of you have never heard of: review. Thanks to ALL of you who did. It really does mean a lot. Really and truly. I really do care what ya'll think of it. It's pretty much a waste of my time if no one likes it.

Anyway, on with the story!

After Meredith woke up, we all left the room. We didn't want to overwhelm her. I just wish I could get her to trust me again. After all I put her through; I really don't deserve a second chance, though.

I also wish I knew who did this to her. I was planning on getting some sleep, then heading back to the hospital, but I couldn't sleep knowing the man who did this to my Meredith was still out there.

On my hasty drive to the police I realized one problem: I didn't know who did this to her. So I quickly drove back to the hospital. I knew she needed her sleep, but I needed to make sure this guy was behind bars ASAP. Why hadn't I thought about that before I left? Stupid Derek.

I walked into her room after knocking softly. She was asleep; just as I had thought. I sat in the chair next to her bed and watched her sleep. She was so peaceful, so beautiful.

"If you're going to sit and stare at me at 4 o'clock in the morning you might as well just come and get in bed."

This comment completely caught me off guard.

"Umm, Meredith, I don't want to make you uncomfortable-" She cut me off with a sigh.

"I offered didn't I? Look Derek, I know you haven't gotten any sleep in the past few days, so just come here and get in bed."

I was still caught off guard. But being as the pleasing person I am, I complied. I slipped off my shoes and crawled in bed with her. I tried to stay as far away as possible so that I didn't make her uncomfortable.

Much to my surprise she pressed her body up next to me.

"Please Derek, I really don't want to be alone right now, just hold me." She half-whimpered.

I immediately scooted closer to her; closing the gap between our bodies. I didn't hold her in a suggestive way, but in a loving manner that made her know I was here.

"I'll always be here Meredith. If you ever want to talk, I'll listen. I know I haven't been to the best to you, actually I've been an ass-"

"No kidding." She replied with a snort.

"But I'm here now, and I'm not leaving." I said, unfazed by her interruption.

She turned to face me.

"I'm ready to talk."

I nodded my head in a gesture for her to continue.

"Well, as I explained before, I was at Joe's and had a couple of shots. Then I walked outside. I remember Joe telling me he had called me a cab. So I sat on the curb and waited. The next thing I know I was being drug into the alley. I looked up and it was Finn."

By now she was sobbing and I was boiling inside. That bastard. How could he do that to her!?!?!?

"He had me pinned against the wall. I tired to push him off me, but he was just too strong. He hit me across the face then pushed me down on the ground. That's when I hit my head. It took all my strength not the lose consciousness, Derek." She was now all out crying. Obviously replaying the horrific scenes in her head.

I slowly rubbed my hand in comforting circles on her back. I couldn't show my anger because I didn't want to scare her.

"It's okay Meredith. Shhhh. We'll get him. We'll lock him up for good. It'll be okay. I'm here."

"I could have done more!" She screamed. "I could have tried to get him off of me, been more persistent. I let him do this to me!"

"No you didn't, you did everything you could Meredith. He is a strong, powerful guy who used that against you. Do not ever say that this was your fault. That's exactly what he wants. Don't give him his way."

"Okay, I just wish there's more I could do."

"There is. You can testify at his trial. That would be a major help to keep him off the streets. But let's not worry about that now. You need to sleep. We can deal with all that in the morning."

"Thank you Derek"

She drifted off into a comfortable sleep. And I wasn't far behind her. We would fix everything in the morning.
