Memories Bring Back You

Chapter 12

!TW!
Addison POV
I wake up in my bed. I realize that everything about finding Mer, was a dream. She is still missing. Is she hurt? I try to call her and see that her phone is still turned off or dead. Great.

I get in the shower that I very much needed and wash my hair. I let my conditioner sit as I shave and wash my body.

I rinse my hair and hop out. I get dressed, grab my keys and purse, and I'm out to the car.

I arrive at work and go to the conference room since Bailey, George, Izzy, Alex, Cristina, Jackson, Derek and Richard had a meeting about Meredith.

The meeting ended with no luck or updates.

Meredith POV
I'm sitting close to a lake. I have a scalpel in my purse and I debate on using it. I can feel pain all through my body. Broken ribs, black eye, possible broken wrist, there is blood all over me.

Just as I reach over for my purse, someone taps my shoulder. I look to see who it is. A stranger.
"Hey Miss. you look hurt. Do you need help?"
"Uh I don't know."
I feel myself getting lightheaded. Then I feel like I'm falling.

No one POV
The guy saw that Mer was a doctor from her scrubs. She still had them on because she left mid- shift. He didn't want to intrude, but he searched through her purse and found her badge.

Seattle Grace Hospital, Grey, M

He picked up the unconscious Meredith and brought her to his car. He laid her in the back and strapped her in. He then drove to the hospital.

He arrived at the ER doors and carried her in.

"Sir, how can I help you?" A nurse asked.
"I found her at the park. I don't know what's wrong but I think she works here."
"That's Meredith." Bailey said.
"Lay her on the gurney."
"PAGE OMALLEY, SHEPHERD, HUNT, WEBBER AND TORRES!"
Soon enough, they were in a trauma room working on Meredith. The other interns were outside along with Addison because they weren't on the case.

"How the hell did this happen?"
"I don't know. But it looks like someone did this to her."

"She has a broken wrist. Multiple broken ribs."
"She has a small concussion." Derek added.
"She doesn't need surgery. But she needs  an IV and a feeding tube."
"She is going to hate us."
"We're saving her life."
"I'll put a cast in her wrist."

Addie walks in. "Everyone but Torres, out."
Everyone agreed to leave. Addie started to clean Mer up. Stitching any cuts, wiping blood and icing bruises.

Later, everyone was in Mer's room, waiting for her to wake up.
"Has anyone found out what happened?"
"All we know is she ran away. Joe had her keys. I guess she went to the bar first."

Soon enough, she woke up. She rolled her eyes, knowing she was at the hospital.
"Hey, Mer."
"Leave me alone."
She realized she had a feeding tube and tried to take it out.
"Leave it in, Mer." Derek said.
"How many?"
"What?"
"How many calories?"
"I'm not telling you that."
"HOW MANY CALORIES?"
"You don't get to know."
She started breathing heavily and squirming around, wincing from her ribs.
"Mer. Calm down." She ripped her feeding tube out.
"Leave."
Everyone but Jackson, Derek and Addie left.
"Why are you still here?"
"Because you need help sweetie." Addie said.
"Where is my purse?"
"At the front desk. You aren't allowed to have it without supervision."
"I'm not in the coo coo nest....yet."
"And you won't be. You will be staying with Addison."
"Why?"
"It will be something different so you can focus on yourself some more." Jackson said. They kind of forgot he was there.
"Whatever. Can I have my purse?"
"Yeah. I'll go get it." Derek said.

"Belongings of Meredith Grey."
"Here you are."
"Thank you."

He handed her the black bag and sat down. She rummaged through it and found a post-it stack.

She started writing and doing math. Finally figuring out how many calories. She wrote down how much exercise she would need and how much food to cut down on.

"Give it to me."
"No."
"If you want to keep your purse, I have to go through it."
"There is a scalpel in the front pocket and a pencil sharpener in the side pocket."

Everyone wanted to cry at that statement. But they took the sharp items out of her purse and threw them away.
"Have you used them?"
"No."

"Mer?"
"Hmm?"
"Who did this?"
"It was no one."
"No one my ass."
"Finn."
Jackson lifted his head fast. "FINN?"
"Yes."
"I'm going to KILL HIS ASS."
"Calm down Jackson."
"Who is Finn?"
"Her abusive ex."
"I was hoping he would kill me." Meredith mumbled.
"What was that?"
"Nothing. When can I leave?"
"You should be able to in a day or two."
"Ok. No feeding tubes. Or IVs."
"I can't promise that."
"I am an adult. I said no."
"Ok."
"I'm going to sleep."
"Ok, Mer."
