So, for some reason I thought I posted this a week ago, but I obviously didn't /: I hate my computer. Review(: Andddd Happy New Year! (:

"Okay, so I lied. It's not as bad as I thought it would be," Meredith said over the phone during lunch. "Plus, we can talk on the phone between classes."

"So, you freaked out over nothing?" Derek smiled.

"Essentially, yes." She smiled. "So, when are you going to the doctors?"

"In an hour," He groaned.

"Stop complaining. It might be good news, you know." Meredith shook his head. "And you say I'm stubborn."

"I hate being poked and prodded at," He mumbled. "Oh, my mom yelled at me for not using my crutches."

"Good. You're just going to make it worse."

"And that is exactly what she said," Derek shook his head. "So, did you make any friends?"

"I met a few people," She nodded. "Just kind of want to get through the rest of this day and go back to bed."

"Now that's the spirit!" Derek laughed.

"Shut up," She couldn't help but smile as the warning bell rang. "I have to go. Text me when you find out what the doctor says."

"I will. I love you."

"I love you too," She said before turning off her cell phone.

"So, you made it through the day?" Meredith looked up to see Cristina walking next to her.

"Surprisingly, yes," She laughed. "It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be."

"Well, in three months we get spring break," Cristina smiled, slightly.

"Oh, god," She laughed and walked up to her locker. "So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yup, bye," She left the building. Meredith started to put all of her things into her backpack when someone leaned against the lockers next to hers.

"So, I heard you're new here. Need a personal tour guide?" He smirked at her.

She literally laughed out loud. "Was that the best you could come up with?" She shook her head. "This school's not big enough to need a tour guide."

"Maybe," He nodded. "But, I do know of this party and I could definitely show you a good time." He smiled.

Meredith grabbed her keys before closing her locker door. "By getting me drunk and trying to get in my pants? Sorry, I'm not a freshman and I have a boyfriend who would have no problem hitting you."

He laughed. "You're tough, you know."

"Yup." She nodded. "Alex, right?"

"You remember my name," He smiled. "I know your interested."

"Again, boyfriend." Meredith shook her head. "I just a good memory." She started heading down the hall.

"Next time?" He called after her.

"Bye, Alex." She headed out the front door and towards her car. She tossed her bag in the backseat and was about to head home, but her phone started to ring. "Way to text me after the doctor."

"I'm sorry." He laughed. "But I have some good news."

"Spill."

"The doctor said I could start physical therapy next week and I only need crutches when I'm not at home."

"Good!" Meredith smiled. "So, do you think you're going to go back to riding?"

"I don't know," He sighed. "I've just put so much into the past years. My sponsor wants me to make a decision soon, though."

"Do what you want, Derek. You know I'm behind you no matter what." She paused. "And you can still go to school and ride."

"This is true," He nodded, but then let out a groan, "Shit, I have to start school in a week on crutches. Awesome."

"Well, if someone gets in you way, just accidentally trip them," Meredith smiled.

"And this is why I love you," He laughed.

"I know."
