Chapter Nine: The Mess I Made

hould've kissed you there

I should've held your face

I should've watched those eyes

Instead of run in place

I should've called you out

I should've said your name

I should've turned around

I should've looked again

But oh, I'm staring at the mess I made

I 'm staring at the mess I made

I 'm staring at the mess I made

As you turn, you take your heart and walk away

"Is she dead?" Addison asked.

"No." Lexie laughed. "She's the hardest person to wake up. Meredith, get your ass up."

"What time is it?" Meredith slurred.

"It's almost 11. We're about to leave in 15 minutes. I did what you asked." Lexie sighed.

"Okay. Ask Addison for some clothes."

"Already taken care of." Addison smiled. "I layed out everything for you in the bathroom."

Bathroom. Meredith thought. "I really hate to ask this, but can you please bring it in here?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'll go get it right now." Addison said as she walked out the door.

"What the hell is your problem?" Lexie asked. "Why don't you just go to the bathroom and get dressed?"

"Lexie. Not today. I'm really not in the mood."

"Whatever. I'm going downstairs."

"I'll be there in a few." Meredith sighed. Addison walked in with her clothes.

"There you go Mer. You know were I'm at if you need anything else." She smiled.

"Thanks. I'll hurry." She said as Addison walked out and shut the door behind herself.

...

"I'll ride in the back with Addison." Sam said. Everyone was already outside and ready to go. Meredith was the only one left.

"And Lexie can sit on my lap since Meredith had to sit on Derek's last time." Mark said. Derek looked up when he heard her name. He knew she was avoiding him after last night.

"So I guess I'm driving?" Derek asked.

"Yeah, and Meredith can ride up front." Mark sighed. "Where is she at anyways?"

"She's coming." Addison laughed as she walked out of the house. "She forgot her phone and had to go back upstair to get it."

"Alright. We'll Max, it was good to see you man. We'll be back next weekend." Mark grinned.

"Fine with me Man." Max said as Mark went and got in the car.

"Bye Max." Sam said, following Mark.

"Bye Samster." He laughed. "Addie be careful and call me please." Max sighed.

"I will Maxi." Addison smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said watching his little sister get into the car with his friends.

"Ah and Sexie Lexie...It was nice to meet the girl that changed Mark Sloan forever." Max laughed.

"It was nice to meet you too. I'll be back." She smirked.

"Please come back." He said. Lexie went and got in the car with Mark.

"Derek! You take care of everyone. Call me when you get back. And remember, next week's party is going to be..." Max said, waiting for Derek to reply.

"Bigger and Better like always." Derek said as he hug Max and started to make his way to the car.

"And if it isn't my baby girl." Max smiled as Meredith walked over to him. Derek stopped and watched them. "Don't let that boy beat up on you too much. And come back next weekend when Addie comes home. We're having another party." He winked.

"I will defently come back with Addie. And it's safe to say I'm going to miss you Max." Meredith laughed.

"Everyone misses me when they leave." He said as he pulled her into a hug. "And give Derek a chance. I know you think that guy your with is great, in his own way..." He laughed. "...But Derek will make you experence things you never will with that other guy." He whispered into her ear.

"I don't get it?" Meredith said.

"Give it a chance, and you will. I have to look out for my guys too. Just like you look out for yours." He smiled

"Bye Max." She said.

"Bye Meredith." He said as him and Jackson walked back inside the house. Meredith went and got in front seat, avoiding any eye contact with Derek.

"Ready?" Derek asked. Meredith turned and looked at him.

"Oh, are you talking to me?" She asked. He could tell she was pissed. Or hurt. Or both.

"Nevermind." He sighed. Mark looked at Lexie, and she just shrugged. Sam looked over at Addison, and she was lost too. That wasn't what they had talked about.

...

They were 15 minutes into the car ride, and it had been dead silent. Nobody had said anything.

"So did everyone enjoy the party?" Sam asked.

"I did." Mark said.

"Me too." Lexie added.

"Yeah." Addison agreed.

"What about you guys?" Sam said asking Derek and Meredith.

"Oh...Yeah it was fun." Derek said. Meredith snorted.

"Okay, what the hell is your problem?" Derek asked.

"My problem? My problem is you. Because apparently, you like to make out with a girl one minute, and make them feel like you care, but then you go screw a different girl in the bathroom the next minute." She said.

"Seriously? You want to do this now?" He yelled.

"You're the one that asked, why the hell not."

"Fine then, you want to do this now, we'll do it now. You're the one that pulled away, because you had a boyfriend. Is that not right?"

"So you want me to be a whore? You really want me to prove him right? I told you..."

"That's not what I asked..."

"I don't give a damn what you asked." She said.

"Why are you being a bitch? No wonder Jake..." He stopped. Meredith looked over at him.

"No wonder Jake...What? What were you going to say? Please go on." He didn't say a word. "No wonder Jake shoves me around? No wonder he calls me a bitch?" She said, tears rolling down her face.

"Meredith..." He said.

"You know what, save it. I can't believe I was stupid enough to actually give into you. You're just another asshole and I'm done wasting all my damn time on you." She said as she turned around and faced the window.

"It's alright Sissy." Lexie whispered into her ear. Meredith smiled a sad smile.

It was silent for the rest of the car ride. Nobody said anything. They all sat back and listened to the radio. Their thoughts taking over.

...

45 minutes later, Derek parked the car in front of Meredith and Lexie's house. Everyone notcied the white Lexus LFA sitting in the driveway, with a very angry Jake leaning against it. Everyone sat there in silence. No one wanted to move.

"Stay in the car Lexie. I'll come get you when it's okay." Meredith sighed. Derek looked over at her, then at Jake.

"I'm going with..."

"Stay in the damn car." Meredith said as she got out and slammed the car door. She walked over to Jake and stood infront of him. He looked at her before he spoke.

"Did you have a good time whoring around?" He smiled.

"Are you seriously going to be an ass?" She asked.

"You're the one being a bitch."

"Jake..."

"I told you..." He said, getting up from the car, moving towards her. "...Not to hang around with...what's his name?"

"Derek."

"Derek. I told you not to hang around Derek. But you did it anyway. Do you know what happens when you do something you were told not to do?"

"I have a pretty good idea." She said, backing up.

"I'm glad you do. Least you won't be too surprised." He smiled.

"Jake please." She begged.

"Please what? Don't hurt you? Or don't hurt him." He laughed, point to the car.

"He didn't do anything wrong."

"Did you have sex with him?"

"No?" She said looking at him.

"Did you kiss him?"

"Please Jake." She said, tears rolling down her face.

"Did you kiss him!" He yelled.

"Yes but..." Before she could even finish, Jake's hand made contact to her face. She looked down at the ground crying.

"You bitch! I can't even believe you Meredith." He said yelling at her.

"Jake." She cried.

"No. You're gone for two days and then you come back telling me you and him had a little make out session?"

"Please..."

"Screw you Meredith. You're nothing but a worthless whore." He said, opening the car door and getting in.

"Jake!" But he was already going. She watched as he turned the corner. All she could do was stand there. Finally, she turned back to the car where Lexie was waiting for her. She walked over and opened the car door.

"Come on Lex. Let's go inside." She sighed.

Lexie sat there a minute before getting up. She kissed Mark and got out of the car. Meredith went to shut the door, but heard Addison speak.

"Remember what I told you Mer, sometimes it's better to have a couple scars then none at all." Addison smiled. Meredith looked over at her.

"I'll call you this week Addie." Meredith said smiling before shutting the door.

...

Derek had just dropped off Sam and Addison, and him and Mark were on their way back to there apartment. Mark decieded that it was the perfect time to speak up.

"I know you. And I know that right now, you're mad at us. But it was best to just let Meredith deal with that guy. Do you know how bad it would have been if you had gotten envolved?" Mark told him.

"I made out with Meredith in Max's bathroom. We were talking and then it just happened. She pulled away and ran downstairs. I took off after her and asked her what was wrong. She reminded me that she had a boyfriend and that I needed to go back to being that ass I was. I let it go and ended up back in the bathroom having sex with Megan. We were just getting into it, when Meredith walked in. I made this big deal with Meredith telling her there was a spark eariler, then she walks in on Megan and I. I felt horrible but she was being a bitch today in the car. And then you, Sam, Addison, and her own sister would let me get out of the car and help her." Derek sighed. Mark looked over at him.

"Look, Meredith was upset today. The four of us in the backseat could tell she was and we didn't even know what happened. She wasn't being a bitch. You were being an ass. If you tell a girl that you felt things with them, that you haven't with anyone else, then they find you in the bathroom screwing another girl hours later, that's going to hurt. She was hurt. And believe it or not Derek she cares about you. And not in a brotherly, friend way either." Mark said.

"I felt bad when he slapped her." Derek sighed.

"We all did. But he would have ripped her apart if you would have gotten out of the car. It may not have been right there at that moment, but he would have later."

"I know, but it bother's me to know he doesn't treat her right. I did feel something with her though. Something I never felt before." Derek smiled.

"I know what you mean." Mark grinned. "With Lexie, I can't help but be around her all the time. She's addicting. She's amazing."

"So it's mutural..." Derek laughed.

"It's mutural." Mark assured him.
