So, i'm been on vacation with my dad in Ocean City, MD until the 22nd. I haven't been able to find an internet connection, but finally got oneeee (: Read;Reveiw;Enjoy

"Hey," Lexie walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge.

"…hi," She said. "Why are you being all nice to me?"

Lexie sat down on the counter across from her. "I've been bitch to you ever since I started high school. I thought cause I was on the dance team I was special or something. You're my sister and I'm an asshole."

"You're not an asshole," Meredith laughed. "Popularity or whatever gets to a person and shit happens."

"Yeah," She nodded. "The people on the team kind of screwed me over though. High school sucks."

"What happened?"

"I've been missing practices because I have to pass my Anatomy & Physiology exam which I took today. I went to my first practice today and the people who I thought were my friends outcast me." She paused. "This probably sounds really stupid."

"No," Meredith shook her head. "I know how you feel, trust me. Anyway, what did you do?"

"I quit," She shrugged.

"Regretting it yet?"

"No actually," She shook her head. "I think I just started it so I was sure I made some friend freshman year. I'm kind of over it."

Meredith nodded. "Yeah, I'm not exactly a fan of your friends anyway." She paused. "Are you still dating Ryan Hasley?"

"Yeah," She nodded. "He's really nice, Meredith. I really, really like him."

"Lex, I've know him for almost three years and he's always been an asshole to me. I hooked up with him once and later that night he was a douche to me. Just be careful, okay?"

"I will." She nodded. "But, Meredith, how do I tell Dad and Mom that I quit the team? She was excited for nationals and everything."

"Just be honest with them," Meredith suggested. "In the end, there's nothing they can do about it anyway."

"True."

"I quit the dance team."

"You what?" Thatcher and Susan said at the same time. "You love the dance team, why'd you quit?" Susan continued.

"Because school's more important?" Lexie sighed. "I'm just not as into it as I was last year."

"You can't just sit around here and do nothing," Thatcher continued. "You wont get into a good college if you're not in any clubs or sports."

"Thanks Dad," Meredith shook her head. "Academic usually have a big part in getting into college," She added.

"You're joining a club, Lexie." He said sternly. "And so are you, Meredith."

"Okay, Dad," Meredith laughed and went to go put her plate into the kitchen sink.

"I'm sick and tired of this attitude you have, Meredith." Thatcher said to her. "And you still never apologized to your sister."

Meredith turned to face Molly. "Molly, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you always have to get involved in my life when I clearly couldn't give a shit."

"Excuse me?" Molly crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'm pretty sure you heard me," Meredith smiled, then turned to her father. "I didn't do anything. I'm going to Izzie's."

"No, I want you home tonight."

"Seriously?"

"Yes. You need to learn that you're not allowed to speak like that to your sister. It's rude. Understand me?"

"You make it sound like I'm ten years old. I'm seventeen."

"You're sixteen."

"I'll be seventeen in a few days. What's the difference?" She rolled her eyes. "I cant wait to get out of here."

"And go where, exactly?" Thatcher looked at her.

"Anywhere but here." She shot back.

"You're grounded."

"Right, cause you two are home all the fucking time to enforce that rule." Meredith shook her head. "I'm going to Izzie's. I don't want to fucking be here right now. I'll be back in the morning." She said as calmly as possible then ran out the back door. She wrapped her arms around herself and started walking. She was thankful that she didn't have to walk too far away.

I'm outside your house
-Meredith

"Is everything okay?" Derek wrapped his arms around her and she finally broke down. "Whoa, what's wrong?"

"I hate fighting. I don't like it when me and my dad get into fights. I'm freaking out right now and I don't know what to do and my dad thinks I'm at Izzie's and all I want to do is run far away."

"Shhh," He ran his hand up and down her back soothingly. "Why are you freaking out?"

She took a deep breath. "You didn't use a condom when we were in Chatsworth." She mumbled. "I don't know why I didn't say anything but… I'm a fucking idiot."

"Okay, breathe," He said to her. "I thought you were on the pill or something like that." Derek sighed as Meredith just slowly shook her head. "Okay. Everything's going to be fine. We'll figure everything out. I promise you that."

"Okay," She nodded as she held on tight to him.
