We are on step closer to Meredith and Derek seeing each other again, for the first time in a year. Enjoy!
The next morning, Derek woke up in a strange apartment, trying to rack his brain to where he could be, he remembered meeting Mark and talking about Meredith, but that was it. He heard the door open,
"Hey, Shep" Mark said rather cheerfully,
Derek groaned, "how can you be so cheerful, Sloan" Derek said to him.
"hey I'm not that one who almost drank a whole bottle of scotch to myself, get up, otherwise you are going to be late, Shep" Mark said putting a mug of coffee on the table next to the bed, "I'll be leaving in 30 minutes if you want a ride" Mark said has he walked out of the bedroom.
They arrived at the hospital 45 minutes later, Derek headed to his office to put on his scrubs since he had on the same clothes he wore the day before. He turned on his phone, and it beeped telling him that he had a couple of missed call and a voicemail. He couldn't think who it would be, so he decided to check it later, has he had rounds to do.
It was lunchtime before Derek had some free time, he didn't have a surgery scheduled for a few hours, so he decided to go back to his office, and get some more sleep, and he was feeling very rough, he knew that he shouldn't have drank that much, but it was too painful for him the day before. He just wanted to hold her in his arms, to say sorry, that he should have never let her go. He locked his office door, and closed the blinds, not wanting to be disturbed. He wanted to be left alone, with just his memories, trying not remember that yesterday was the day he had ended their affair, and broke her heart and shattered his heart into a million pieces. He was just drifting off to sleep, when his phone rang, he saw that it Kathleen, it thought about ignoring it, but knew that if he did, she would just keep ringing him,
"Hey Kath" Derek says
"Don't hey me, Derek, I've not heard from months, mom was getting worried" Kathleen scolds her brother.
"I'm sorry Kath, I just been busy" Derek says.
"I know yesterday was a hard day for you Derek, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay" Kathleen says.
"I'm fine, Kath"
"Now you do sound like Meredith"
"Meredith, have you seen her?
Kathleen doesn't say anything for a few moments, she doesn't want to lie to her brother but she doesn't know how Meredith would react if she told him where she was. In the end it is taken out of her hands, when Meredith comes out of the bedroom.
"Morning Kath" Meredith says to her when she see her sat at the table.
"Kath is that Meredith, are you with her now" Derek asks, sitting up on his couch, upon hearing her voice.
"Look I've gotta go, I'll call you back later" Kath says hanging up.
"Kath…Damn it" he curses, he tries to call Kath back but she has switched her phone off.
He remembered the voicemail he had on his phone. He dialled his voicemail; he was shocked to hear her voice.
"Derek, it's me. I know you probably don't want to hear from me, and I know Addison won't be happy, but I miss you, I missed hearing your voice. I'm a little drunk; I had a date with Jose tonight. Anyway, I love you, bye"
He remembered the missed calls that he had, he knew that one of those numbers was her's, he looked through his missed calls list and hit the dial button, it rang but with no answer. He knew that she wouldn't answer her phone, but he had to try. He needed to find out where Kathleen was, than he would find Meredith. Little knowing that soon enough fate would find a way of bringing them together.
