Why Nick and Meredith aren't okay?

"Nick?" she called, knocking on his door.
"Nick?" she called,a little louder this time.

Soon the door opened by a woman her age.

"Oh, thought you were pizza" the woman said

"Excuse me,pizza? Who are you?" Meredith asked frowning in confusion

"I'm Lia, Nick's old friend" she answered "You must be his the friend he can't stop talking about" she added, grinning at her

"Friend? I'm his girlfriend" she then frowned at her before storming inside looking for Nick.

"Where's Nick?" Meredith asked, looking back at Lia who's still standing by the door

"He's in the shower...do you want me to get him for you?" Lia gave back, walking towards near Meredith

"I'll get him myself,no thank you" with that, Meredith made his way to Nick's bedroom and opening the door seeing him drying himself

"Who's Lia?" she asked immediately,as he looked up at her surprised

"Hey, thought you had a surgery" he said confused looking at her

"Don't change the subject,Nick. Who's Lia and why is she wearing your shirt?" she asked again, trying to calm herself

"She's an old friend of mine from high school, no biggie " he tried to explain while drying his hair with a towel

"Friend? she's wearing the shirt  I brought for you a week ago"

"It's just a shirt,why are you so mad about it. It's not a big deal!" he then spat at her

"Why is she here then?" she asked, caught him red handed

"She just got off her plane from LA yesterday"

"So,she stayed here last night?" she tried to clarified "You were with her last night when I was in pain and needed you, you were here having a girl over without me knowing about it"

"What do you mean in pain? are you okay?" he then asked, worriedly in shock "Wh-why didn't you call me?"

"Maggie tried calling you she said you weren't picking up... I took a fall off the stairs yesterday afternoon and had a mild concussion" she explained

"A-are you okay now?" he asked worriedly, stepping a little closer to her

"I'll be fine if you tell me why the hell is that woman at your house wearing your shirt when she can wear her own and stay at the hotel"

"She lost her wallet at the airport yesterday and had no money to pay for the hotel so I insist that she stays here until her wallet is returned" he answered, looking at her hopeful to believe him

"You insisted..." she questioned "What's next? you'd ask her to sleep next to you and take a bath with you?" she asked, ironically

"I'm sorry... I should've called you"
