Everyone Deserves Happiness.

Chapter 64

Derek was out and Meredith was sleeping but something strange happened while she slept. At some point she could feel a warm liquid come from her face. She woke up and felt it...nose bleed? She's never experienced one before and the blood was a deep color.

She struggled to stand up and took a deep breath. She walked to the bathroom and tilted her head forward to let all the blood flow out. The nosebleed seemed as though it was everlasting. She wiped off all the excess and plugged her nose with tissue. She walked back to her side of the bed and grimaced at the blood stains on her white pillow sheets.

She took the sheet off and tossed it on the ground. She didn't have the energy to go downstairs to the laundry room. She got back into bed and grabbed dereks pillow. She cried from the pain she felt again. In the beginning the weakness she felt it came from the memories of her attacks but now it felt different something dangerous.

She wiped her eyes and sniffled and seemed to make the blood come faster. She sat up and walked back to the bathroom to change the tissues. She wondered what she did to find herself here. Why couldn't she just be happy?

She heard the door open and sighed. Derek was going to cook and try to get her to eat and she didn't want that.

She wiped her eyes just as Derek came upstairs with a small container of strawberry ice cream and a smile on his face that quickly vanished. He put the container and spoon down and rushed into the bathroom.

"Meredith..Mer what happened?" He asked looking at the bloody tissues in the toilet

"Nose bleed" she groaned

"You look like your losing to much blood" he frowned while tilting her head back to change her nose tissues

"I was sleeping and then blood"

"Meredith I don't like this...the blood and bruising and pain I don't like this" he said on a shaky breath. He lifted her up to sit on the sink and he stood in front of her.

"Derek I'm fine. Probably just rape aftermath sickness or something "

"Is that even a thing?"

"I don't know it could be"she sighed

"You need to get checked out"

"Tommorow "

"Did the blood stop?" He asked as he got ready to change the tissues again

She pulled the tissues slightly and smiled when she didn't feel blood flow.

She put the ones in her nose in the toilet. Derek wet the ones in his hands and cleaned around her noise then tossed it in the toilet. He flushed it and helped her down. He wrapped his arms around her and it felt like she lost weight. He squeezed her and kissed the top of her head. She attempted to squeeze him back but she couldn't. She wasn't strong enough.

They walked back to the bed and she got in. She curled herself in a ball and inhaled dereks scent from his pillow. Derek wiped his eyes and tried not to make any noise.

"Derek" she whispered

"Yeah huh?" He said wiping his eyes quickly

"Please stop crying Der Come lay with me"

"Food I'm supposed to be cooking for you "

"I'm not hungry and I'm not fighting with you. Come lay down"

"Ok" he said sniffling

He threw his arm over her waist and pulled her closer when she winced. He pulled the covers down and lifted up her shirt and saw a huge bruise on her side.
