"What does he want to talk about?" Izzie looked at her friend as they were walking back home from school.

"I have no idea," She sighed. "Lexie told me he wanted to and yeah. Can I borrow your phone?"

"Sure." Izzie handed it to her.

It's Meredith. I'm walking to my house
cause my dad wants to talk /:
So, can I call you after?
Not sure what's going on
-Meredith

Of course. Good luck
-Derek

Thanks. I think I'm gonna need it.
-Meredith

"I hate not having a phone," Meredith let out a groan and handed it back to her.

"Yeah, well that's what happens when you throw it against the floor." Izzie smiled as Meredith laughed and nodded. "So, here's your house."

"Hmm," Meredith nodded. "I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow." After giving Izzie a hug, she walked up to the front door and knocked.

"You don't have to knock, Meredith," Her father opened up the door and let her walk inside. He took her backpack and put it on the ground, near the staircase. "Why don't we talk in my office."

"Okay," She nodded and followed him in there. She took a seat in the same seat she had occupied the previous night. "What to you want to talk about?"

"You don't want to stay here," He said and she slowly nodded, not fully understanding where this conversation could go. "You don't want to stay here and I can see it's already affecting you."

"Yeah." She pushed her hair out of her face.

"I don't want you stressed at home; it's suppose to be a place to relax, so that is why I am giving you the option of moving to your Aunt's house."

"Wait, what?"

"I called your Aunt Nicole last night and she offered, without me asking, to take you in." Thatcher told her. Technically, Nicole was Susan's sister, her Step-Aunt, but it was all the same.

"Wow," She couldn't help but smile; This is what she wanted. "But, Nicole lives an hour away."

"Yes, she does. With moving, there will be a lot that comes with it. You'd be living under her rules and you'd be going to the school in her district."

This was big. This wasn't just getting out of her house anymore. This meant a lot of changes she knew she wanted, but also knew were going to be hard to handle. "Okay," She nodded, but looked up. "I don't hate you. I know what I said yesterday, but I don't hate you."

"It's okay, Meredith. I just want you to do what's going to make you happy."

She smiled, then nodded. "Could Derek come over to help me pack?" She paused. "Or watch me pack?"

"Yes," He nodded. "I'm going to call your Aunt now and get everything sorted out as soon as possible."

"Thank you," She stood up and hugged her father. She knew they were complete opposites and that was why they clashed so much. That did make her wonder what her mother was like though.

"You're welcome," He sighed. "Why don't you go get Derek so he can keep you occupied."

"Okay," She nodded and headed outside of her house. She saw Ryan's car in the driveway and for once didn't care anymore. He was never going to be on her radar again. She didn't have to worry about him.

"Derek!" She ran into his room and smiled, brightly. "Things are actually working out for me."

"What happened?" He looked up.

"My Dad is letting me move in with my Aunt." She sat down next to him "He said he wants me to be happy."

"Which Aunt?"

"Yeah, that's the only negative to the situation," She sighed. "I have to move an hour away."

"Oh," He looked over at her. "Well, it's going to be tough, baby. But you and I both know it'll be worth it." He gave her a quick peck. "No more fighting."

"No more fighting," She nodded.
