YOU AND ME - Chapter 2
"Alex come on we're here." I shoke Alex to wake him up. We had just arrived in New Jersey, where we would start our new life. Away from McBastard, Satan and their loyal followers, who said they were our friends. Away from our problems. Away from our past. I breathed in the cold air of the New Jersey night, as I slowly walked down the steps of our plane. I could see the bright lights of the city, shining different colours. Quietly side by side, we made our way inside of the airport to collect our bags. Inside, it looked like there was a small mall. Everything was there, a jewellery shop, clothing stores, food stores, even a massaging area. "Lets go check into our hotel." Alex said, it was only 30 minutes away from the airport and 5 away from where we would continue doing our residency, under my uncle. So quickly we found our bags, went and got a taxi, loaded everything into the back of the car and hoped into our seats, and headed off to where we would be staying until we found a apartment for us to share.
The city was beautiful, everywhere I looked there were people walking around, something you wouldn't see as much in Seattle because of the constant rain. The lights seemed more brighter here as well, with different colours and hues. But the best part of the city was that nobody knew me, I wasn't Meredith Grey, daughter of Ellis Grey and step-daughter of Richard Webber, or dark and twisty Meredith, or even the slutty intern that stole someone else's husband even though I didn't know he was married. I was just Meredith. Meredith the new resident at Princeton-Plainsboro teaching hospital, Meredith, the person who had moved from Seattle to New Jersey. I was just Meredith, and I couldn't have been anymore happy about then I aalready was.
Finally we had arrived at our destination. Alex, ever the gentleman paid for our taxi far, and grabbed our bags. We walked into our new home for the next week or two, the Westin Jersey City Newport hotel. As soon as you walked in you could tell that it was a place where people would go only if they could afford it. Which lucky enough, we could. Quickly I walk over to the front desk, grab our keys to our room, 235, and walk back to Alex who is now standing right beside the elevator waiting for me to join him and our bags. Once I'm there we hop into the elevator and go to our room on the 5th floor. "Here Mer, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Alex says handing placing my bags by my bed once we are inside our room. "Thanks Alex. Yeah I'll see you in the morning, have a good sleep." I say back to him. "Mhhhmm," he mumbles back. Once he's left for his room I quickly unpack my suitcases, go to the bathroom, put on my pyjamas, go toilet, undo and brush my hair, brush my teeth and go to bed, excited for the coming days.
