Hey,
here's a new chapter. I want to say in the beginning of the story, Meredith's not a bad guy. She's not the bitch. So everything you will read about Meredith being a bitch is actually one side of the story. You will find out why Vanessa is this mad with Meredith. In the next chapter it will turn out in a confrontation. Okay, so a couple questions.
-How do you think Vanessa and Meredith should make up? (Or shouldn't they?)
-What do you think about the whole Jackson Avery/ Vanessa Grey thing?
In the next chapter we meet Callie and her rock band 'No Mercy West') And more Arizona and her girl band. There are some Selena Gomez songs in here, who are featured as the songs of Mercy's child. I hope you liked them.
Any ideas for the new chapter? Tell me, who do you want to play a bigger part? And did you like the Mer/Cristina meeting?
Enjoy,
TempeGeller
2. Love's a bag full pain.
"You did what?" Addison turned toward Mark Sloan. "You went to see Meredith Grey? Meredith Grey, really. You told her that we were over, and that you want her back. Why would you do that?"
"See, it's an image thing honey." Mark turned around. "Apparently I couldn't dump Little pop princess 2010 like that. You think I like it? But I have to, I want to be the nice guy remember."
"And what is that making me?" Addison turned towards him. "The bad guy, the girl that slept with you. That got you in bed. I'm not a bad person."
"Oh, but you did sleep with me, when I had a girlfriend." Mark turned to her. "Or did you forget about Meredith Grey? I mean, who could, she's such a nice person."
"So now you're blaming me?" Addison yelled "Blaming me that you invited me to your bed! "
"I didn't say you needed to do it." Mark turned around. "You know what, I'm McSteamy, that's what they all call me. I thought it wouldn't get back to Meredith. And it did, so now I have to get her back. She was my way to get great deals. I mean.."
"You would do that to your girlfriend?" Addison's voice was silent, but very mad. "how could you?"
"What do you expect me to say." Mark slowly walked around her "I'm a ladies man, but no one can know that. I mean what if the tabloids find out. That would pretty much end my career."
"Yeah, because you're fens are what: 60 year old women, and single fathers." Addison rolled her eyes. "We all know that your fens would throw themselves at your feet if you asked them to. 16 year old girls that go crazy for everything that is Mark Sloan."
"Yeah, just got myself a new movie." Mark Sloan laughed "Something called 'Hospital life', It's a new show. About doctors, I'm playing Mark Sloan, a pre med student who sleeps around."
"Oh, it feels like they were describing you when they wrote this movie." Addison laughed
"Well, the female lead is still open." Mark Sloan laughed "Maybe a good roll for you?"
"Good roll for me?" Addison turned around. "Maybe they fired me over at Seattle 98101. And now I'm being asked to be in this witches series, it's about 3 women who happen to be witches. It's called Lovely. It's a show about fighting, full of stunts. And everything a good show needs."
"Sounds like a real nice show." Mark reacted "witches right?"
"Don't make fun of me, Mark Sloan." Addison turned around. "At least I didn't start my career by playing 'unhappy family member number 3' on CSI."
"Hey.." Mark replied "And I was 'unhappy family member number 4'. Get your facts straight!"
"So what did Meredith Grey say, when you begged her to take you back?" Addison turned away from him.
"She told me." Mark Sloan rolled his eyes. "She kind of told me it was over, then she closed the window."
"I'm respecting her more now." Addison replied "Tons actually."
"MEREDITH!" Ellis Grey's voice sounded trough the house. What happened when she was really, really mad. "Get down here Meredith."
"Yes." Meredith walked down the stairs. "What's up?"
"Broken hearted." Ellis held up a magazine. "Mark Sloan's fall. Mark Sloan admits that he and Pop princess Meredith Grey are over. The 19 year old super star admits that he is heart broken by their break up. He admits that he apologized to Grey, taking back everything that he did wrong. Meredith Grey however turned him down, slamming the window in his face. Meredith' Grey refuses to give any comment. Was he here?"
"Yes." Meredith turned around. "He was, saying he was sorry. And stuff. And yes, I didn't take him back. He's a bastard. A bastard."
"You release how this makes you look." Ellis handed her the magazine. "Like a cold hearted bitch."
"No is doesn't." Meredith turned around. "I didn't want him in my life anymore. That makes me hurt and betrayed. I mean he's the one that cheated on me. And this magazine makes me look like the bad guy."
"Maybe that's because you are." Ellis reacted
"Says the woman who has 2 divorces under her name." Meredith turned around. "And cheated with Vanessa's dad on my dad."
"You know that I made a mistake." Ellis turned toward her. "That sleeping with Richard was wrong."
"I'm not the super stare her." Ellis turned around leaving the room. "Was I that wrong?"
"Cristina." Vanessa passed her by on the street. "How's collage treating you? Good, bad?"
"Fine, I love pre-med. I can't wait to actually operate on anyone who's alive." Cristina turned around. "How's your singing going? Wrote any songs lately?"
"I did. And some kids called it, bad." Vanessa turned around. "So I'm just hanging around, working. Stuff like that. You know how things work."
"Oh, I know." Cristina replied "But I don't have a parent with CTS. Which sucks for you by the way. I mean a surgeon with a great future gets CTS, that's not good right."
"yeah, the money is pretty much all gone." Vanessa replied "We could live on it the first 2 years, but when I was 13, it was all gone."
"You know that I feel for you." Cristina replied "I always feel for you, specially when something like this is happening. And when… I don't know what I'm talking about."
"Sure Cris." Vanessa turned around, walking the other side. She sat down. Slowly staring in front of her. She slowly walked down the road, her guitar was hanging on her back. Like always. She was feeling lonely. Feeling lonely without Meredith around, that was something she felt every single day. She wasn't very sure why she kept saying those things to Meredith. All she knew was what had happened in the past, something that she could not possibly get over. Something between Meredith and her mother. Something that even Meredith should feel sorry about. Only it was hard for her to recall what it was exactly. She was unable to do anything. Say anything.
"Vanessa." She heard the voice of Jackson behind her. "I've got great tickets of the girl band Mercy's child. I know that you love them. They're probably sold out now."
"That's great." Vanessa reacted "I really do love them."
"It's in two days, and I would like us to go together." he could see Vanessa's eyes avoiding his. "Don't tell me you are busy. You have to get out, have fun. You are brooding on something, and you don't want to tell me. But I need my girlfriend with me. Having fun."
"Okay, Tomorrow." Vanessa stared in his eyes. "I promise."
"I love you."
"You love me?" Vanessa's eyes were bright.
"I love you." Jackson stared in her eyes. "Do you love me to?"
"I love you too."
"Cut!" Lexie Grey walked away from her sister, reaching for the bottle of water. She slowly took a sip of it. Staring at her sister Molly Grey. "It's a wrap. Okay, we'll shoot another scene in an hour."
"Lexie." Molly stepped behind her. Molly was wearing the school uniform they were wearing on the show. She smiled at Lexie. "We've got an interview in 5."
Slowly they both walked around the corner. A woman was waiting for them. Lexie walked slowly walked towards her shaking her hand. A few moments later they were sitting in the down.
"Lexie, can you tell us what 'That's so Grey is about?"
"It's very simple. Me and Molly we play twin sisters who can see the future." Lexie explained "In the show we live in Boston. And we can see the future, and that's the plotline of a lot of episode."
"What's the most crazy plotline, Molly?"
"Well, I personally like the episode where I see that a man is going to die. So I keep stalking him al the day to save his life."
"There's also the episode where we sneak in to a concert, and we think that we are going to get caught. That's a very lovely episode." Lexie added.
"So, who would you like the guest star?"
"I'm saying Meredith Grey." Lexie replied "She's such an inspiration to me, and not just music wise. I think she seems such a nice person."
"I would love Arizona Robbins of Mercy's child." Molly replied "She's my big idol, and I love their songs. Arizona's my favorite."
"Music wise, What do you guys adore?"
"Me I love all kind of music." Lexie replied "For starters, I'm a big fens of Meredith Grey, but also Derek Shepherd has songs that inspire me. And I'm a big fen of the rock band 'No Mercy west'. I'm not fen of the Bronas Brothers, or what ever they're called."
"I actually I'm a fen of Mercy's child." Molly replied "But I told you that already."
"So you're both 14 years old, you're going in your 3rd season?" the reporter stared at both of them. "Do I need to look out for a movie by one of you?"
"I'm just think about my education." Lexie replied "I really love school, I'm a cheerleader. But I'm taking a part in a TV-movie. 'Hospital life.' And I'll be playing a daughter of a divorced man who was married to this very great doctor."
"Do you personally know the woman who wrote the book: Life and the hospital?"
"No, I haven't met Ellis Grey." Lexie replied "She obviously changed some names. And the most of the names are named after their characters."
"Who's playing your on screen sister?" the woman asked
"My whole sister Mia is played by the wonderful Izzie Stevens. She's playing my older sister." Lexie replied "However who will play my half sister is still a big question. She hasn't been cast yet."
"If you could pick anyone, who would you pick?" the reporter stared at her.
"Probably Meredith Grey."
"You're seriously aren't going to wear that dress to your date with Jackson?" Cristina stared at her. "Your hear is a mess. You look like a mess."
"I don't care." Vanessa turned around. "He told me that he loves me. And he doesn't care what I wear. I don't have any time to change."
"I'm gong to the concert to." Cristina replied "Me and some of my collage friends are going to go the concert. While you are there with your boyfriend."
"I'm just going to go. I guess I'll see you tonight."
"The crowd is going crazy as the young pop band Mercy's child prepares for the concert." A journalist replied "The show's was sold out, the fist night. Some tickets have been won on the radio. This is the biggest event in many years."
"Yeah I think so to." Another reporter took the word. "I don't think we've seen images like this is a while. Actually the last time was teen princess Meredith Grey."
"Yeah you are right, Leyla." the first reporter talked again. "People have been arriving since 5 in the morning. The show's going to start in a half hour. And we've see the 3 ladies arrive. And in style ladies and gentleman. These girls have star factor.
"Can you believe it?" Jackson stared at Vanessa. "We actually have awesome seats. I mean I didn't have this great place since Selena in March 1995."
Meredith Grey slowly walked in the public, with dark sun glasses that were covering her eyes. She slowly pulled them up, to see the amount of people that were there. She didn't want anyone to recognize her. She hoped that she could go unnoticed for one night. She slowly walked backwards, staring at the people that were ready to have fun. To much fun. Meredith loved the idea that they didn't recognize her with the crazy undone hair. She smiled at herself, she did it. No one recognized her.
"Au." A scream came from an Asian looking girl she bumped in to. "What the hell are you thinking? Bumping in to people."
"I was just.." Meredith Grey dropped the sun glasses on the ground. "Oh my god."
"You're Meredith Grey." the girl whispered. "OMG, did that almost look real?"
"What is your problem?" Meredith put the glasses back on her nose.
"I don't have any trouble. Thank you very much." Cristina turned around. "And I'm not impressed."
"You're not." Meredith slowly turned around. "But I'm Meredith Grey, international pop star, you should be screaming. Jumping up and down, that's what everyone else does."
"Well, you are not that impressive." Cristina turned around. "I mean did you actually ever meet anyone who actually thinks you're not that cool. Great and awesome."
"No." Meredith turned around. "Why don't you actually like me? I'm kind of awesome."
"Kind of awesome?" Cristina stared at her. "Harper Avery is kind of awesome. Ellis Grey is kind of awesome. You're just bleh."
"Bleh?" Meredith followed
"Yeah, cause you are just a singer. You don't contribute anything to the bigger picture." Cristina replied "You just sing songs. Any clown can do that."
"That's not true, it takes much.."
"Oh, yeah, you've changed the world by just singing." Cristina turned around. "What's the great thing about your songs. I get it: You like your sneakers."
"That was just a song." Meredith replied "One that I didn't like."
"Oh, yeah, what was the previous one: who likes who?" Cristina rolled her eyes "A study on gossip, and I'm suppose to be impressed by that. You probably have friends on every finger."
"Actually. I have 1." Meredith turned around. "My boyfriend broke up with me, I only have one friend and my sister won't talk to me. I'm not impressive. You're right."
"Oh, I'm not going to apologize for telling people what's on my mind." Cristina turned to Meredith. "I'm Cristina Yang. I'm Pre-med."
"I'm Meredith." Meredith shook her hand. "I'm a high school senior. Who's not failing any classes."
"Nice to meet you." Cristina replied "So you like Mercy's child."
"Yes." Meredith turned around. "And those guys in the yellow shirt who are staring at us, are they your friends?"
"They think they are." Cristina replied "They would go crazy if they knew that I was talking to Meredith Grey."
"Don't say my name that much." Meredith's eyes narrowed. "What do you want for everyone to scream my name. Yelling out that I'm here. I'm here."
"You wanted me to scream your name." Cristina replied
"Okay, okay." Meredith turned around. "I like the attention, a lot. Can we talk about something else."
Round and Round.
The lights of the stage started to light up in various colors. The musicians were visible, everyone stated to cheer as the dancers and back ground singers walked on the stage.
Round and round
The purple lights became brighter, to show the logo on the screen behind them. You could see the pictures of the three leading singers. Then the music became a little bit louder. Like something was going to happen.
Round and Round
Arizona Robbins appeared on the top of the stairs, right in front off her picture. She was smiling, her microphone was lifted in front of her mouth. And she waved to the people. She slowly started singing. She walked down the long stairs.
You see me standing there
And act like you dont know me
But last night you were calling me
Saying you want me
Teddy appeared on the left side of the stage her blond hair was curled up. She and Arizona were wearing the same blue dress. She opened her mouth, and her voice started to sing the world of the song.
Oh why you always make me feel
Like I'm the one thats crazy
You feel my heart racing
My-my heart racing
Finely Miranda Bailey appeared on the stage. She was wearing the same clothes as the two other singers, and her hair was curled the exact same way.
"Go Bailey!" There was shouted in the stage when she placed the microphone against her mouth.
Boy, I need you here with me
We can't go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
And all I can say
The girls returned to the middle of the stage. Slowly turning to each other. Then they turned around facing the stage.
We're going round and round
We're never gonna stop
Going round and round
We'll never get where
We are going
Round and round
Well your gonna miss me
Cause im getting dizzy
Going round and round
Round and round
Lexie Grey stared from the stage to the woman on stage. She could see that Arizona Robbins once again walked to center stage, she stared at the dancers who were dancing along with her moves.
You tried to pull me close
And whisper in my ear
You always told me lies
I cried out all my tears
The songs of the group flew trough the stage putting it on fire. Everything was young singers were fantastic. The public was going crazy when Teddy lifted up her microphone once more again.
I pushed my feelings to the side
But then you bring them back
B-bring them back
Now you got me singing
From the left side of the stage, Miranda Bailey slowly walked over the part that was going in the public. Her voice was heard over everything. She slowly reached out to her fens, knowing that they would go crazy about touching one of the biggest singers.
Boy,I need you here with me
We cant go on this way
I'm falling hard for you
And all I can say
The chores were heard trough the crowd once more again. You could hear people singing along, like they were the one who actually were the singers.
"Is it that nice?" Cristina asked "I mean standing in front of a crowd."
"Yes." Meredith replied "It's a rush. If you've got the right music. I mean 4 albums later, and I still hate the music I sing."
"Maybe you should fire who ever writes the music." Cristina replied "Write your own stuff, go deep. Stuff like that. I know this girl, who writes such a powerful songs. Country, but still."
"Hello, everybody." Arizona yelled over the crowd "Do you want to hear another song?"
The crowd cheered under her voice, shouting several songs they could sing. No one really could understand what they were singing.
You had me to get her.
And here, I thought it was me.
Teddy's voice was heard over the crowd once more again. She stood on the stairs, dancing down them. She swayed her hips in the rhythm of the music.
I was changin', arrangin' my life to fit your lies.
It's all said and all done.
I gave it all for the long run.
Miranda stepped over the stage, following the moves of Arizona who was next to her. They slowly moved over the stage.
Can she say the same thing?
I guess this is good bye and good luck.
(I can't be what you want me to be.)
The group sang together, turning around on the stage.
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize for who I am.
No, no.
"They are awesome." Vanessa stared at Jackson. "Thank you so much. I love this."
"Yeah, I knew you would." Jackson stared at her. "You look beautiful by the way. Very beautiful."
"You know what, you know who we're going to see next time." Jackson smiled at her. "Meredith Grey, I heard that she has a concert in two weeks. That's great right?"
"Yep." Vanessa smiled " Real great. I don't like Meredith Grey. At all."
"You don't like Meredith Grey?" The woman next to her turned around "What's wrong with you?"
"What shall I say?" Vanessa turned around. "I hit my head when I was born.
"What's up with you and hating Meredith Grey?" Jackson asked "I mean you would think that you wold love her to dead."
"It's a bit hard to like your sister's music." Vanessa replied "Specially the half sister that thinks that you better didn't get born. Thinks that you are the reason that her parents broke up. Me and Mer don't get along."
"Wait a sec?" Jackson turned to her. "Meredith Grey is your sister and your working 3 jobs to help your father. Why doesn't she help you money wise."
"Because I don't want to take her money." Vanessa replied "I'm not some charity case."
"You're not." Jackson stared in her eyes. "But you are her sister. Think about it, what did she ever do to hurt you like that."
"It's been so long, Jack." She stared at him. "I think."
Somehow 4 years ago
" Richard." Ellis Grey spoke to her ex husband. "I think this deal is the best way possible. I take Meredith, you take Vanessa. And we don't get contact. That's it."
"Sounds fair to both of us." Richard spoke "I think it's the best solution for all of us. Specially after all she's my little girl."
"Meredith's all I need." Ellis replied
"Vanessa." Meredith slowly walked closer to the 11 year old. "I'm going to be famous. One day everyone is going to listen to me. I'm the best. Mummy says I'm her special little girl."
"And me?" Vanessa turned towards Meredith "What about me?"
"You want to hear my new song?" watched Meredith walk away. Knowing that they wouldn't spent that much time together. She took her guitar. She stared around. Slowly starting to play the guitar.
"I'm five years old it's getting cold I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop till I forgot all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel ok
But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little sister
Inside and out she's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine and I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say that I had the best day with you today.
"So what's the story?" Jackson stared at her. "So you wrote a song, your parents got divorced. I still don't get why you are mad at Meredith."
"It's just so hard." Vanessa replied "A long story."
"So you tell me, and you don't leave out anything." Jackson turned around. "Cause if you're mad at her, without any clear reason that would be stupid for both of you."
"I wrote a song." Vanessa stared at Jackson. "And then she stole it. Meredith just stole the song right from under me. I had to hear it on the radio several years later. That wasn't the thing that mad me hate her. It was the fact that I overhead her saying that she hated me, that I wasn't important. And that I was to much in her life. Now she's just begging for another song, where it came for."
"So basically you think Mer hates you?" Jackson turned around. "That she just needs you for the song. You overhead the conversation. You guys have been fighting over something right. It's right, it's stupid. But you don't steal your little sisters song. You just don't. What did she exactly say?"
"She said that I was the reason why her father wasn't around anymore. That she hated me. That I was not good for anything." Vanessa turned to Jackson with tears in her eyes. "She was my sister. I think that the fact that I didn't mean anything to her, was the reason I hate her. I think I hate the fact that Meredith only wants another song out of me. I hate that."
"Maybe she's sorry." Jackson stared at her. "It's never to late to make up with your big sister."
"No, It's to late to just be sorry." Vanessa turned away. "It's really to late."
