Love The Way You Lie

Derek Shepherd, your husband, hits you- but you stayed until you couldn't stand up anymore. Your best friend Mark Sloan helped you leave him and you two had some adulterous sex. When you see Derek again in Seattle with another woman, all you want is to save her from him. You didn't mean to fall in love with her. She wasn't supposed to fall in love with you, either. But you both did, anyway.

Chapter 13: ROUTINELY

You see both Derek and Meredith coming your way all dressed professionally for the workplace.

You take a deep breath before you summon "Dr. Grey, you're on my service, let us begin,".

You don't smirk as you see Derek's jaw drop to the floor before it tightens repeatedly.

You contain your small victory as you walk off with the blonde intern.

And you pray to God he doesn't start physically hitting Meredith for your own actions, not hers.

You whisk Meredith away to Julie Phillip's room and ask if Meredith knows what 'TTTS' means.

She does, and Meredith explains all about how the twin babies that Julie is pregnant with need their blood vessels separated to equalize the load they are putting on each other's hearts.

Meredith gets stumped on one question, and you press further because you know she can do it, and then bail her out when she stammers. Meredith confronts you to tell you she knew it.

"Chin up, Grey, I'm this tough on everyone, not just the women my husband sleeps with," you say encouragingly, and then you realize that was a really stupid thing for you to say.

Meredith eyes you suspiciously, and you're not really sure why but she does.

You vaguely see Julie questioning Meredith all day with a bit of a scowl but you can't seem to get close enough to hear what they're saying without walking in.

As soon as you do, Julie seems to go quiet and Meredith just keeps on examining her routinely.

Derek notices you watching her, though, and he's not happy about it.
