⚠️tw⚠️ mention of rape

It was him

it was the doctor from the hospital the very very attractive one. What did he want? Why was he here? And how the hell did he find out where I live? All these thoughts ran through her head as he rang the door bell again.

She opened the door and he stood there in the rain smiling that soft smile that made her somewhat happy with a purse and food."What the Hell" she said "what are you doing here? And why do you have food and most importantly how did you find my address?" She said angrily "Right um I can imagine how stalkerish this must look can i come in and explain? Only if your comfortable with me being in your house of course " he said "only if I'm comfortable?" Huh everyone else in my life didn't care to know if I was comfortable so why did this stranger? "Um yeah sure but please keep your distance" she said a tad bit sad and afraid he would try something. "Yes of course whatever you need Meredith. I brought Chinese if your hungry?" "Yeah I uh I am thanks come in" she stepped aside and he walked in looking around to find the kitchen. He dropped the Chinese on the counter and walked back to the door to take off his shoes and remove the wet coat . "So?" She asked "so? Oh wait yeah I forgot I owe you a story. Well the day you left you forgot your purse and it had your id along with your address and stuff and I wanted to bring food because you look like you could need a friend" he said with a smile she looked at him a second and said "thank you" she walked over to the table and sat down across from him and they ate in silence. Meredith knew what he said was genuine but she didn't know if she could trust him. She couldn't not after what happened last time. She finished her food and Derek took notice and took her plate to the sink and began washing. "What the hell?" She thought "he didn't even finish his own food why is he being so nice?" "Ok seriously do you think bringing me my purse and food would get me to sleep with you or something? Because it won't " she said " Meredith what? No that's not my intention. I told you I want to be your friend because it looks like you need one" he said a bit sad "Well I don't need a friend" "everyone needs a friend" he said with a smile "well I'm not everyone" she bit back angrily "besides isn't this inappropriate? You showing up here with food and washing my dishes I'm your patient not your girlfriend." "You were my patient now your my friend " "No no I'm not" "You could be" "I could but I'm not" "Do you want to be?" He said a bit optimistic "No I don't.. well maybe but I don't know how." "That's ok I can teach you I'm an amazing teacher" he said with a slight chuckle " "Ok" she said back. Huh friendship who would've thought she consider a friendship with a man of all people.

"So what do friends do?" She asked " well they do whatever makes them comfortable like going on walks or watching movies or eat food together like we just did" he said with a smile. "Well this friendship thing seems to be quite simple than" she said as she walked over to the couch while he stood in the kitchen. "Oh yeah I did ask you to keep your distance.. um you can't sit on the couch with me but you could sit on the floor or something close but not to close " she said "Yeah whatever for my new friend" he said with a wink which made her roll her eyes. " so tell me about yourself Meredith " "Ok well um I'm 26 I had a sister a half sister but she died in a car crash my mom is a world class surgeon but we don't speak and my father is a deadbeat drunk. My favorite color is black and my favorite is show is Tokyo ghoul I don't have a hobby, I worked as a librarian for a year until.. but anyways and I uh lived in Seattle for my whole life" she said "Meredith.. I'm so sorry ". "Don't be it happens I guess tell me about you " "Well I have four sisters, Nancy,Kathleen,Amelia and Liz and 7 nephews and 6 nieces my favorite drink is a double malt scotch and my favorite band is the clash. My favorite novel is The Sun Also Rises. My middle name is also Christopher and I'm a neurosurgeon." "Wow impressive" "I'd like to think so but Meredith what happened to you?" "What do you mean?" "I can tell something happened but if you don't want to tell me it's perfectly okay I won't pry " he said with a smile "I had a boyfriend a few months back" she began, she didn't know what it was about the man who sat on her floor but he made her feel safe. " He made me happier despite all the things I went through, my dads abusive drunk side and neglectmemt as well as my moms abandonment and constantly putting me down, he made me happy I thought he was perfect really, but then we started to argue and arguing was normal so I didn't think much of our petty fights but he did. He did. He payed his friends one night when we went out to a party to roofy my drink and well rape me. And they did those sick bastards went through with it and recorded the whole thing. They passed me back and forth like I was a football and it lasted for awhile and it hurt it was utter hell. When they were done they staged it so my boyfriend could play the hero so in some sick and twisted way I would worship him and never defy him. He found me and did the whole boyfriend routine. And I was broken but he helped put me back together until I found out after months of trials to send those boys to jail that he devised the whole plan. I never broke so fast in my life. And yeah Um that's what Happened" she finished with a few tears streaming down her face. He did the only thing he could he stood up and made his way to the couch sat down looked into her eyes as to ask for permission and hugged her. She was surprised by this motion but didn't fight it. It felt good, safe. She hugged him back after a few moments and pulled away. They gazed into each other's eyes and he leaned in and kissed her. Soft.She liked it. She was terrified and hated everyone but she liked it but it was too soon and she couldn't pursue anything with this man. "I'm sorry" he said " you just opened up about why you can't trust anyone and than I kissed you and I'm sorry " he said while standing up and backing away " wow she thought he actually cares about how I feel. "Your right I can't trust anyone but I feel safe with you around.. that being said I-I can't have a romantic relationship with you " she said "Yes of course I understand but I do like you Meredith and I do want to be your friend". " yeah friend I can kind of manage that. But it's getting late you should probably go". "Yeah I should good night Meredith." "Good night Derek" and with that Derek left and Meredith stood there confused but happy.

AHHHH MERDER KISSS I'm happy with how this is progressing so far but leave me your thoughts I'd love to know enjoy!
