Merediths POV:

"You must be the woman who's been screwing my husband"

Those words played over and over like a broken record in my fragile mind.

She stood there tall and elegant with her body wrapped in a black designer coat. She had soft red curls that fell perfectly past her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep cobalt blue and they sparkled in the dim light of Seattle grace hospital.
I couldn't help but stare at her. She was the epitome of perfection. She was everything that i wasn't. Sure she was the one person in the world i was the least happy about standing in front of me yet i could tell, underneath all that sarcasm, confidence and makeup that she was kind. That i hated even more.

I was paralysed. I didn't blink, i didn't move, i didn't speak. All i did was just stare at her and then Derek and then back to her. How could he not tell me he was married. For two months of a relationship. From that night he met me in joes bar to about 20minutes ago when our hands were clasped together getting ready to leave work for the night.

"What are you doing here Addison" Derek said, finally breaking the deadly silence.

"Don't worry Derek I'm here on a case, not for you" the tall woman replied, smiling at me.

"I... i have to go" i stuttered practically running out the door.

Addisons POV:

I had to admit it pained me a little to see Derek with another woman even after i cheated on him.
Our relationship had been struggling. I  was lonely and craved his affection and attention however i never seemed to receive it.
That night with mark was a spark of stupidity in the moment due to unresolved feelings, loneliness and maybe a little vodka.
Derek left NewYork and moved to Seattle where he met a pretty blonde girl in a bar. A very pretty blonde girl.

Meredith ran off in a mess leaving me and my husband alone in the hospital awkwardly glaring at each other. Eventually Derek left and then i followed, making my way to the nearest 4 star hotel.

Merediths POV:

I burried my head even deeper in my soft pillow begging Cristina to let go of my arm. "Come on mer we have rounds in 20 minutes!" She yelled as she tugged on my wrist even harder.

"Im not going" i yelled back whilst pulling the duvet even further over my head.
After last night i could barely move. Everything i'd felt for him, every moment we ever shared was a lie. He was married. MARRIED. And to such a beautiful human being. If shed have been ugly it would have been so much easier to hate her but no she was literally gorgeous.

Eventually after what seemed like an eternity of misery i finally dragged myself out of the comfort of my bedsheets and threw my clothes on before i headed out to the hospital.
Bailey was there as usual with her serious look waiting to lecture me on the importance of 'punctuality'. After our daily lecture Bailey handed out our assignments for the day. Bailey put me on She shepherds case. Could my day get any worse.
"Um doctor bailey i cant..." i said before i was cut off.

"No excuses grey you know the rules now move!" Bailey commanded interrupting me.
I slumped off to the ob wing to find Addison standing there in her salmon coloured scrubs waiting for me. 'Here we go' i thought.
"Doctor grey. Nice to see you again." She said walking over to me. Her presence seemed to intimidate me and for some inexplainable reason i let it.
