Chapter Three: Facedown

Mark and Derek walked in the door to party. Mark had a girl under his arm, and Derek was just there. It normally was just him and Mark searching for girl to take under their spell. Now that Mark already had a girl under his whatever this was, Derek didn't know what to do. He walked over to were they were serving drinks, and got a beer. It's gonna be a long night. He thought to himself.

...

Meredith, Cristina, and Alex walked in. Meredith headed straight to the drinks, leaving Alex and Cristina behind. As she picked up the Tequila bottle, she felt a pair of eyes on her. She turned her head slightly to find Jake standing in the corner of the living room of whosever house. It's gonna be a long night. She thought to herself.

...

Derek had already got one girl under his spell and up to the bedroom. He was working on number two. He walked into the living room up to a group of girls, and flashed the charming smile he always heard he had. It worked like a charm everytime. He notice Mark and the girl he came in with on the couch talking to someone. He couldn't really make who it was out. There were too many people. He shrugged it off and turned back to the girls.

...

"I understand."

"Excuse me?" Lexie said.

"I understand if I'm too old for you. I get it."

"Mark. It's okay. I don't listen to anything my mother says. She doesn't even know about you at the moment. We're okay. Just stop worring."

"I just. I don't want to go too fast. You, I've never been this way with a girl before. I'm, I want things..."

"I want things too. Just, stop worring and live." She said as she began to make her way into his lap.

"Hold on there!" Meredith said as she walked up to them.

"Mere..." Lexie begged.

"I know, I know. I just want to tell you that Jake's here. So my fun offically ended, right when I walked in the door." Meredith sighed.

"Just dump him already."

"I know I should but, he only cares." Lexie just rolled her eyes.

"I'm sorry but do I know you from somewhere?" Mark asked.

Meredith looked at the guy her sister was about to make a move on.

"Nope. Haven't met you before. But nice job Lex, very hot." Meredith said laughing, leaving them to thereselves on the couch.

...

Derek was ready to leave. The party was still in full mode, but he had just about had his fair share of girls. He told Mark that he was leaving, and for him to catch a ride with someone else. Mark was so caught up with Lexie on the dancefloor, he wasn't half paying attention. Derek just put it behind him and walked outside.

...

"I thought I said..."

"I know what you said Jake." Meredith rolled her eyes.

"Then why didn't you listen."

"I don't know who you think you are, but I'm nobody's bitch."

"What did you say?" He said, looking straight into her eyes.

"You heard me."

"We're taking this outside." Jake said as he grabbed her by the arm and yanked her around.

"Let go of me. Let go of me Jake!" She begged.

"Not tell you get what you deserve." He laughed.

Meredith was held back the tears from the pressure he put on her arm. She could feel a bruise already coming up. She hoped nobody notice them escape from the party. When they made it outside, he threw her down.

"I told you not to come."

"It's not a big deal Jake. It's my life. Not yours. You might be my boyfriend, but your sure as hell aren't my mother."

"Listen here Meredith..." He said as he pushed her against the outside of the house. "...I will tell you what to do, and I will tell you who and who not to hang out with. You're my whore. Remember it." He whisphered in her ear.

"Jake...Please let me go. Just let me go."

"Not until you give me what I want..."

"Please. Please." She begged.

"I said..."

"You heard what she said."

Jake and Meredith both looked over. Jake let go of her arm.

"This has nothing to..."

"I don't care. She said leave her alone. And when a girl tells you to leave her alone, leave her alone." The guy said as he stepped forward.

"You know what, I'm out of here. Screw you, bitch." Jake said as he pulled out his keys and walked over to his car. He got in and quickly sped off.

Meredith watched the car drive away, and finally let out a breathe of relief. She looked over to the guy she had the world to thank, although it was so dark she couldn't really see him.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" He asked.

"I'm alright. Just the normal." She smiled.

"Why don't we go down the street and get something to eat or whatever. I was just about to leave. It will help you calm down too." He offered, smiling at her.

"Uh, sure."

"Alright. Don't worry, I'm not going to pull anything." He assured her.

"Oh. Okay." She giggled.

He walked her to his car and he opened the door for her. When she got in, he shut the door and went around to get in. He got the car started and lit a cigarette.

"Hope you don't mind." He said looking at her.

"I don't. My boyfriend smokes, and my sister and I have started quite the habit." She smiled.

"You? Smoking. Never would have picked it for you."

"Well that's what happens when you have a mother like mine, and an over protective boyfriend who calls you a whore and hits you when he feels like it." She shrugged.

"He hits you?" He asked.

"I'm a big girl. I can handle him." She said proudly. But she knew deep down inside that she never could if it got real bad.

"That's good then. You look tough." He smiled. Meredith laughed.

They pulled into the nearest resturant and got out. When they got up closer to the door were there was light, they could finally make eachother out. They looked at eachother for a minute, before it hit them.

"Wait. Do I know you from somewhere?" Meredith asked.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Derek smiled.
