THREE DAYS, IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS SINCE DEAN ENDED THINGS WITH maeve. three days since maeve hasn't left her apartment, three days since she last spoke to mark sloan, and it's been three days since she's been crying and drinking herself to sleep. no one knew, seeing as she didn't answer her phone, nor open her apartment door
mark sloan was beyond worried. he couldn't even ask for help because everyone, including sofia was upset with him. he hurt the one person who always seen the good in everyone.
dean salvatore had been walking around seattle grace mercy west hospital trying to find meredith grey. after he let go of maeve, tej took him back to his apartment, and the two got off the car they entered dean's apartment. as soon as they entered tej had asked what had happened. dean couldn't speak he was filled with anger and sadness. his whole apartment reminded him of her. his pillow case that had a smudge of her makeup, her clothes on the ground, the mess they created in the kitchen, and his favorite picture of them in a little frame in his room. all the anger and sadness built up caused him to punch the wall, wishing it was mark sloan. which earned him a sprained hand, luckily nothing major broke
"meredith!" dean called out once he finally spotted her
she turned around and gave him a sad smile "hey, how's the hand?" she asked
dean looked down at the elastic bandage wrapped around his wrist and palm "uh, it'll heal in three to eight weeks" he shrugged slightly "b-but, has she—
meredith shook her head "i've left her hundreds of messages and calls, but she just won't answer"
he let out a heavy sigh "w-what if something happened to her? w-why hasn't anyone stayed there until she opened the door? meredith, she needs someone" he ranted
meredith heart tugged, she and everyone knew just how much this man loved her goddaughter "dean, she needs you" she said softly
he shook his head "i can't. sloan's right, i'm bad for her and she deserves better. plus sloan won't let me go near her without threatening to tell the board about my side activities" he said as he fiddles with the bandage
meredith sighs "i'll check on her" she said, as dean looked at her with hopeful eyes
dean nodded "thank you" he said in relief
"you love her don't you?" she asked
dean felt his eyes sting slightly "with all my heart" he said before sending her a nod before walking away

after her shift at the hospital, meredith walked to maeve's apartment. luckily she lived three minutes from the hospital. as she walked up to her apartment door she sighs softly before knocking on the door, thirty seconds past and no answer. so she knocked again "maeve, it's me meredith. you better open the door because i'm not going to stop knocking" she called out as she continued to knock
