The Way It Ends

2. Lies

No I'm not fucking with you
Know I be telling the truth
I find myself locked in the life
Hunting for something I don't really like
You came to my kingdom of love
Hungry for giving me cuffs
In so many ways
So many days
Crowding my space

A few hours before Derek went to Seattle
Addison came storming into the house with a huge rage inside her. "Derek where are you?" she shouted from the entrance.
"I'm in the kitchen," Derek replied with a calmer voice than hers.
"What was that at the hospital?"
"What do you mean?" Derek asked, acting as if he were stupid.
"Don't play dumb with me." Addison put one of her hands on the table, the other on her hips. Derek looked up from the sandwich he was making. "Addison I don't know what to tell you. We're going to Seattle. I am trying to work things out with you and in order to do that I have to get out of New York and this house. I don't want to be in the same house, you screwed my best friend, end of conversation," he picked up his sandwich and took a bite.
"You can't just leave your whole practice," Addison tried to find reasons to make him stay but Derek had made a great point.
"Watch me," he walked out of the kitchen.
"Derek we're not done here," she shouted after him, following him out of the kitchen. He was about to answer when he heard a knock on the door.

They looked at each other before Addison went to answer the door. "Mark," her voice went higher then usual. Not even asking he barged into the house, "What is this thing I hear from the hospital that you guys are leaving?" He looked at Derek and then Addison.
"Mark get out of my house. This is none of your business," you could see Derek's jaws clench together.
"No," Mark stood his ground. Addison then finally cut into the conversation,
"Mark this is really not a good time,"
"There's never a good time," he said a bit annoyed.
"I mean it Mark, leave," Addison got a bit angry.
"No you're not leaving with my baby! If you're going I'm going," Mark blurted, forgetting Derek was still in the room.

Derek's eyes grew wider as a huge rage built up in him "What?" Derek said, his teeth still shut together.
"I...Oh god," Mark turned to Derek.
"You pulled me along all this time, thinking that, that was our baby and all along it was Mark's? Your really are Satan itself." Derek threw his sandwich on the floor and started walking up the stairs. Addison ran after him trying to explain, "No Derek please..." she grabbed his hands.
"Get off of me," he pulled his hands out of her grip, going into their room and closing it.

"What the hell were you thinking Mark? Maybe if you tell Derek I might stay?"
"I... I don't....," Mark was lost for words. He didn't know what he was thinking. It just came out.
"That's right you weren't thinking," just get out of my face. I don't ever want to see your face again.

She opened the door for him as he walked out. Slamming the door, she ran up the stairs knocking on the their bedroom door, "Derek please let me explain,"
"Oh you explained yourself quite enough today," he said with a chuckle.
"Please let me tell you my side of the story."
"There's nothing you could say, you fucked Mark and now you have an adulterous love child. Hope you'll live a wonderful life," he opened the door, with a suitcase in one hand.
"Derek it was one stupid mistake, please don't give up on us yet," a tear fell down her cheeks. Not even looking at her, he went downstairs and was out the door.

Addison was left there alone crying to herself. How on earth is she going to get him back.

She picked herself up from the floor and wiped away her tears. She ran upstairs and packed her bags, going after Derek. She was not giving up on them yet. Not when they've gotten this far. Buying a ticket to Seattle she packed her bags and was out the door.

She didn't see Derek at the airport nor did she see him on the plane. Addison had no idea where he was staying so her only option was to wait till tomorrow and meet him at work.

Derek settled into his hotel room not knowing what to do. He had already called the hospital telling them he'll start tomorrow. Putting the phone down all he could think about was to go drinking. He looked for bars nearby and saw there was a bar right outside the hospital. Since he was working there why not check the place out. Grabbing his coat, he left the hotel and walked up to the bar.

"Double scotch single-malt please," he asked the bartender. Taking his drink he sat down by the window. He had no idea what to do now. After 11 years his marriage was over. What was he supposed to do now. Does he still have his charms? He hasn't asked anyone out since Addison. The thought of him getting back out there was sickening. He didn't think he could do it again. The dating, the whole boyfriend-girlfriend. Giggling when they find out they love each other. It was too much work and effort. Maybe he already found his one true love and he screwed up. What if you get only one woman your entire life, and that's it.

He started to think he was going to be alone his entire life when his thoughts were interrupted when a beautiful woman caught his eyes walking into the bar. Everything slowed down. The gorgeous woman was walking in slow motion. Her air up in a ponytail. He couldn't quite see her face but he was sure that it was perfect just like her body. The woman walked up to the bar letting her dirty blond hair out and sitting down at the bar.

He admired her, every move she made. Seeing her face light up as she smiled. Her laughter was like music to his ears. Finally he got up the courage to go up to her.

Walking towards her having no idea how to flirt, four words just left his mouth, "Is this seat taken?"
