Addison sat at the cafeteria. She was hoping for a chance to talk to Derek.
She knew that Meredith had the day off. Figuring it would be better to talk to him alone.
Maybe then she could put up a fight.
Christina saw her sitting watching the door.
"Hi I am Dr. Yang." she introduced herself.
"Dr. Shepherd" Addison extended her hand.
Christina simply rolled her eyes. "I know who you are"
"Oh I see"
"No I don't think you see anything. You don't see the way he looks at her. The love they share for each other is rare. It's the once in a lifetime love. He tried to make it work with you. She tried to move on from him. It worked until you slept with his best friend. Now your marriage is over. They deserve to be happy together. You need to go back to New York. You have lost him. It wasn't there fault the blame lies with you." Christina turned to leave. She had said what she felt was necessary.
"Dr. Yang" Addison stood up.
Christina stopped and turned around.
"He's my husband. I deserve a second chance" she yelled.
"You don't deserve to be in the same hospital as Meredith. She will never hurt him the way you have. Leave now with your pride still attached." Christina took a deep breath and turned to leave once again.
"She will hurt him. Her career has always come first" Addison yelled to Christina's back.
Christina kept walking. She knew that if she turned around. She would pull that red hair from the woman's head.
Addison watched as everyone stared in her direction. She didn't care what anyone thought of her. She wasn't leaving until she had her husband back. She had placed the call and knew that help was on it's way.
She smiled and sat back down to finish her lunch. Everything would work in her favor. Soon she would have her husband back in her arms. Of that she was certain. Meredith Grey's day were numbered.
Meredith looked at Christina.
"I can not believe you yelled at her." Meredith laughed.
Christina smiled it was well worth it. She had to stand up for her person.
"Yeah well no one messes with my friends." Christina laughed.
"Joe another shot of tequila" Meredith needed this drink.
Derek walked into the bar. "Hello ladies" he placed a kiss on Meredith's cheek.
"Hey how was work?" she asked.
"Long" he was ready to spend the evening with his girl.
Meredith turned around. She had to tell him about Mark.
"I invited Mark" Meredith knew that it wouldn't go over well.
"You did what?" he tried to remain calm.
"You two have to talk" Meredith wanted them to be friends.
"I have nothing to say to him. Seriously Meredith. What were you thinking?" he asked.
"I was thinking that you are best friends. Have been since grade school. How can you throw it away?" she asked.
"He slept with my wife" Derek didn't understand how she could take his side.
"It gave us another chance. A chance to be happy together." she wanted him to understand. Understand that she was grateful to Mark.
"I can't trust him now. Meredith what if he tries to pull this with you?" he wouldn't lose her.
"That will not happen. I only want to be with you. You think that I would do that to you?" she was shocked that he didn't trust her.
Derek knew that he had to use his words. "No of course not. I trust you Meredith. I don't trust Mark" he wouldn't forgive Mark.
"Please give him a chance. He came to the house today"
Derek felt his blood pressure rise. "He did what?" he yelled.
"Calm down Derek. He came over to warn me about Addison. She's got something planned. He was being our friend" she touched his arm.
Derek took a deep breath. "She will not split us up. This what we have it's forever. Nothing that she pulls will keep us apart." he wouldn't let Addison destroy his happiness.
"Okay I believe you. Will you talk to him. Please for me?" she asked.
Derek looked at the expression on her face. He couldn't deny her request. "Yes I will talk to him. I'm not promising anything though" he added.
"Okay" she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thanks" she smiled.
"Your welcome" he kissed the tip of her nose.
"He just walked through the door. Go talk to him. I am going to spend time with Christina"
"Your not coming with me?" he needed her by his side.
"You can handle this. I'll be over later" she smiled and turned back to the bar.
Mark sat down at the table. He looked at his once best friend. They were more than friends. They were brothers. In one terrible moment he had destroyed that friendship. He looked over at the bar. He noticed Meredith sitting there. Figuring she had to beg Derek to talk to him.
"So you wanted to talk. Start talking I have plans with Meredith later." he wanted to leave right now.
"I know that I made a mistake. It only happened one time. I will never forgive myself for that." he started to explain himself.
"One time huh?" he wanted to believe that Mark was telling the truth.
"Yes one time" he shouldn't have done it at all.
"You want me to forgive you. How can I trust you now?" he would have trouble trusting Mark now.
"I will earn back your trust. It will take time I know. Please Derek your my family" he pleaded.
Derek looked down at his drink. He wanted to believe Mark. He was lost without his best friend.
Meredith knew that Mark would need help. She walked over to the table. Placing her arms around Derek she whispered into his ear. "One chance" she knew he would understand.
"I don't forgive you. Not yet anyways. In time we may be able to rebuild our friendship" he looked up at Meredith.
Meredith smiled at Derek. She knew that he would give Mark a chance.
"Thanks I promise you will not regret this." he smiled at Meredith.
"So Meredith are you going to give your sister a chance." he noticed her sitting at the bar.
"What sister?" Derek asked confused.
"I'll tell you later" she wasn't ready to talk about it.
"Okay" Derek didn't like being in the dark. Especially when it pertained to Meredith. He was willing to give her time to tell him.
"Well are you ready?" Derek wanted to go home.
"Yes" Meredith smiled as they stood to leave.
"See you later?" Derek said to Mark.
"Yes" he was planning on spending time with Lexie.
