When Meredith walked out of the detention room it was only 3:47 so she went to her locker to get her things.

"Hey Meredith party at my house tonight. You're coming right?" She looked back and saw Finn there.

"I actually gave plans but I will definitely come to the next one." She said with a smile.

"Well I wanted you to go to this one Meredith." He grabbed her arm forcefully when she was about to walk away. Meredith was shocked by what he was doing.

"Finn I'm not going to your party tonight and let go of me you are hurting me." He grabbed on tighter and Meredith winced at the pain and she knew he would leave a bruise.

"Why should I you are a fucking tease and you don't follow through with plans." Meredith just wanted him to let go and she was happy to see Derek coming down the hall.

"Hey! Let go of her you are going to hurt her." Derek said coming up to Finn.

"So what are you going to do about it?" Derek couldn't believe that Finn was starting something with him especially on this day. Then Finn was on the ground holding his face with his hands. He looked up at Derek and got up and ran down the hall. Meredith looked to her side and saw Derek shaking his hand off.

"Derek! You just punched him!" Derek smiled and kissed her.

"He was hurting you. Is your arm okay?" He went to grab her arm to take a look as it but when he touched it she pulled away. He looked hurt but Meredith didn't want him touching the arm that was really killing her right now. "Mer…I'm not going to hurt you I would never touch you like that I just want to see what that bastard did to you so I can help you. I promise."

She put out her arm after looking into Derek's promising eyes for a minute. He took it in his arms gently and raised the sleeve of her sweater. "Mer you should really get this checked out he could have broken your arm and trust me when I put my hands on him he wont be running away."

Meredith never thought of Derek as the type of guy to beat up other people. Meredith just nodded and Derek took her backpack. "Come on the nurse is still in and she wont mind doing me a favor." Derek kissed her forehead and took her to the nurse. He opened the door and he saw the nurse.

"Hey Derek what do you want this time?" He laughed at the last visit he made here.

"Sheryl this is Meredith and some guy was holding on to her arm possessively and it's bruised and I just wanted her to get it checked out." The nurse nodded and told Meredith to sit on the bed.

"So Meredith you are lucky Derek was looking after you because whoever did this was holding on for about 2 minutes and I assume Derek intervened and you just have a bruised arm and I recommend lots of ice." Meredith thanked her and got up and as she was walking to the door the nurse called for Derek to sit so she turned around.

"Why I'm fine." Derek said.

"Derek I know you so sit down and let me check your hand out." Derek couldn't help but give in when he gave his hand to the nurse she smiled. "Derek Shepherd I'm so proud of you."

"Yeah know not my usual but the kid was already on the floor then he ran for it." Sheryl laughed and Meredith thought that Derek was probably in here everyday if they were that close.

"Ok you are fine just make sure your not in here for the rest of the year…" Derek looked at her and gave her a smirk. "…Ok maybe that will never happen but keep yourself out of trouble Shepherd." He laughed and hugged her.

"I'll try my best." He let go and grabbed Meredith's other hand that didn't hurt and pulled her close and kissed her cheek as they were leaving. "I just have to stop by the office and tell my mom I'm leaving then I'll take you home.

"Yeah that's fine. You are really close to the nurse. Can I ask why?"

"Um…I get into a lot of fights with kids that are not so popular just because my 'friends' tell me to and everything changed last year but Sheryl has been treating me ever since I walked the halls of this school and we just grew close." They got to the office and Meredith waited outside while Derek went inside. He walked into the office and went straight for the door in the back.

"Mom I'm going to bring Meredith home now I'll see you later at the family thing." She got up and put hr jacket on.

"Yeah that's fine I'm leaving right now your sister called and she wants to go ice skating with Jason." She raised her eyebrows at Derek.

"Mom I respect your way of raising your kids but don't you think you are giving her too much freedom. She can get pregnant and a lot of other things."

"Would you like to have less freedom? Because if I as a mother treat my kids unfairly then that just says I'm horrible" When Derek heard her talking about treating her kids fairly his eyes turned a dark shade of blue. He looked at the floor then looked back up at her.

"I have to go Meredith is waiting for me I'll talk to you later." His mother nodded and he walked out still full of anger. When Meredith saw him she immediately noticed the anger in his eyes and when she saw his clenched jaw she knew something was going on. He came up to her and kissed her cheek. "You ready?"

Meredith nodded and took his hand. "Derek are you okay because you seem angry?" She said while looking over at him.

"Today has just been a bad day. But you want to know something?" He said with the sparkle back in his eyes. When Meredith nodded he gave her a deep kiss and lightly pushed her against his car. "You have been the best part of this day." He opened the car door for her with a big dreamy smile. When she sat down as Derek was going to close the door she pulled him down and gave him a kiss. He closed the door and went around to get in the car.

"So do you want to go home?" He asked as he turned the car on and took her hand in his to hold.

"Yeah please I just want to go home and sleep." She smiled at him concentrating on the road. They sat in a comfortable silence the rest of the drive. They kept giving each other looks. When Derek pulled into her driveway she looked at him without turning away this time.

"If you want you can come take a nap with me." Meredith said opening the car door. Derek looked at her and even though he had a lot of things he needed to go do he couldn't give laying down with Meredith up.

"I would love to come take a nap with you." Derek smiled and quickly got out of the car. When he came up to her he pulled her in for a kiss and they went inside. Meredith led Derek straight to her room and she got under the covers with him and was just laying there hearing his heart beat.

"I like doing this with you." Meredith said. Derek leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

"Me too. Life just moves so fast and just laying here with you just makes it all stop."

"Yeah I feel the same way. And as much as I like talking to you and just laying with you I rather be sleeping." He smiled and in a few minutes Mer was asleep on top of him.

Derek woke up to a shake he held on tighter on to Mer. He opened his eyes when and sighed when he saw some guy he never met. He never let go of Meredith and he couldn't help but smile at how Meredith was pushing her away so she can sleep.

"It's abput freaking time can you get up out of bed anytime soon like lets say in the next 5 minutes ill be waiting for you two downstairs." Derek could see that he was serious and he quickly got out from under her and woke her up. The guy walked downstairs and when Meredith opened her eyes she was startled at Derek putting on his shoes.

"What is happening?" Meredith asked while rubbing her eyes. All Meredith could think of was that Derek was leaving her already..

"There is some strange guy that came in here and said to get up and he will be waiting for us downstairs." Meredith could see the panic in his eyes and she pulled him close to her and kissed him.

"Then we will go downstairs and see who this strange man is." She smiled and grabbed his hand she felt so relieved that he wasn't leaving. She also felt curious to know who was downstairs. She led him down the stairs and entered the kitchen where the man Derek was talking about was sitting at the kitchen island. When Meredith noticed who it was she felt angry for him showing up here after he did everything to her. She sqeezed Derek's hand and he didn't know what to do. He could see in her eyes that she wasn't happy for this man showing up.

"What are you doing here?" Meredith said clenching her jaw.

"You left and I'm came after you Meredith. I'm really sorry for what I did. I was under a lot of pressure and I wasn't really myself that night." Meredith tensed up when he got up to come closer to her and she was grateful for Derek stepping in.

"I think you should go um…sorry I didn't get your name." Derek didn't like his cold eyes but he was trying to be nice. He stuck out his hand and said "I'm Derek."

"I'm Chris, and I think I will go but just so you know Meredith I'm staying until I get you back to Boston where you belong with me." Chris looked at Derek's outstretched hand and walked out of the house.

When Derek turned back to Meredith he could see the tears in her eyes and pulled her into his arms. "Shh everything is going to be okay. I wont let anyone take you from me. I don't think I will ever be able to let you go."

"I know you are probably not used to this but in my life it's always drama. It seems like when everything is perfect something happens to screw it all up." Derek smiled at her words.

"Trust I have been through dealing with all the drama before I still do it everyday and I don't mind dealing with your drama too I think yours is way easier then mines."

"I really appreciate you not running away from me. " Meredith thought that Derek wouldn't leave her and she knew he wasn't just using her because they weren't doing anything together. She couldn't believe that she was actually trusting someone in a matter of days. Meredith felt like she couldn't help it and she felt safe with Derek like she has never felt before.

"Trust me its becoming hard to run away and I rather kill myself then run away from you." Derek kissed her forehead and held her closer to his body. He couldn't get enough of her and he knew he already fell for her and he didn't care that he has only known her for about 2 days. "I don't know what it is about you but I want to be with you and I feel like I never want to let you go. Your something different Meredith grey and I think I already fell for you and I know its soon but I have never felt this way about anyone else."

Meredith wanted to run because that's what she does shes Meredith freaking grey and she runs from her problems. She doesn't commit to anything she scared of commitment. But this time she believed its different this time and she couldn't breathe even if it was a perfect moment she needed an escape.

"I need to go to the umm…bathroom…yeah the bathroom…um excuse me." Meredith wanted to stay and she felt a pain in her heart when she saw the hurt in Derek's eyes he nodded and she pulled away from him and went to the bathroom down the hall.

Once she was in the bathroom she closed the door and turned the cold water on in the sink. She wet her face then went and dried her face off. She slid down the wall and sat on the cold bathroom floor with her face in the towel still.

Back in the kitchen Derek didn't know what to do. She was always telling him not to leave her and he felt hurt that she left him when he told her his feelings for her. After sitting with his head in his hands he got up and went to the bathroom. He opened the door without knocking and saw Meredith sitting down with her head in the towel. He walked over to her and sat next to her and pulled the towel out of her hands. He felt helpless when he saw that she was crying.

"Why are you crying?" He asked her while gently caressing her cheek. She only started crying louder and he pulled her closer to him. She grabbed on to him tightly like it was the only thing keeping her alive. "Shhh it's ok. Everything is going to be ok." He rubbed his hand up and down her back.

"I run from things. I don't want to but it's me it's what I do. I'm sorry for running from you but I don't deal with my problems. You scare me Derek, you scare me more than anything. Someone could have a gun to my head and I will be more scared of you than of dying. If you were any other guy I would run from you I would have left already for good but your not just some other guy and that scares me to crap. I don't know what to do because its hard to resist you and I know I'm probably confusing the hell out of you but I think I fell hard for you Derek and I would give anything for not falling for you but I did and this relationship or whatever is going way too fast but I want you so much that I don't care." Derek pulled Meredith in for a deep kiss and she didn't waste anytime kissing him back. They were kissing for a long time when Derek got up out of nowhere and helped her up. They kept kissing while making their way upstairs to Meredith's room. They were so lost in each other and in that moment that they didn't have any sense to what they were about to were both new to this and they were more than happy to give themselves completely to each other.

They layed there staring into each others eyes after making love. They were both more than happy and Derek pulled Meredith into another kiss but this time they heard someone pull up into the driveway. They both jumped out of the bed and started getting dressed. Derek looked outside to see who it was while he pulled on his shirt and he saw both Richard and Ellis get out of their cars and walk to the house hand in hand.

"Crap your mom and Richard are home." Derek looked over to Meredith to see her already dressed and to anyone else she would look like she didn't have mind blowing sex. She came over to him and kissed him and ran her hands through his curls.

"Meredith we're home." She heard footsteps and she took Derek's hand and let him out of her room.

"Hey mom we were just about to leave." Ellis looked at Meredith then at Derek and suddenly it came to her mind that her daughter could be sexually active. Ellis looked at the two for another few seconds.

"I WANT BOTH OF YOU IN THE KITCHEN RIGHT NOW!" Meredith winced and Derek looked scared of the consequences of what they just did. Ellis stormed downstairs and you could hear the slamming of the fridge door. Derek pulled Meredith in to a hug.

"Put your shoes on and make sure you have your keys because we need an easy escape and if we come back up here she will make me stay so don't leave anything you need behind." He followed her into her room and put on his shoes and put his cellphone and keys in his pocket. He looked over at her and her back was towards him but he knew she was probably regretting it all right now and he couldn't help but think of all the trouble he will be in since he made a promise to everyone and himself.

He went to her and held her hand and squeezed it for reassurance that he would be there. They walked downstairs ready to dace the wrath of Ellis Grey.
