Derek's pov:
I groan as I feel everything around me moving. I open my eyes quickly, sitting up. I hear meredith and my sisters giggling.
I chuckle as I see mer, Amy, Kathleen and liz bouncing on the trampoline next to me.
She giggles as I grab her, pulling her onto my lap. "What do you think you're doing?" I grin. "Me, liz and Amy and Kathleen thought you were taking too long to wake up" she shrugs, giggling.
My eyes go wide. "Where are my glasses?" I look around the trampoline. "Kathleen can you grab his glasses please?" She asks. She grabs them from the floor outside the trampoline.
She passes them to me. "Thankyou" I say. I put them on. She gets up. She grabs my hands. "Up" she says. I stand up.
We start jumping on the trampoline, all of us laughing and trying to jump the highest.
Meredith screams as I put my hands on her waist, helping her go as high as she can.
She giggles as we stop jumping. My sisters get called inside. We sit on the trampoline, her in my arms. "I should go and see my mom" she says. "I'll drive you" I say.
We get up and get in the car. I drive to her house. "I'll wait here" I say. "No, come in with me" she says. "Mer-" I say. "Please" she says.
"Okay" I get out of the car. I open her door for her as she grabs her bag. "Thankyou" she giggles, getting out. I smile, holding her hand.
We go to the door. She opens it and we walk in. I stay in the doorway as she goes to the living room to talk to her mom. I wanna be here for her but I don't wanna get In the way.
I hear her scream. There's a big thud. "Derek!" She yells. I rush into the living room. "What happened?" I help her off of the floor.
"Ow Ow ow! I tripped over the carpet" she hops on her foot. I hold onto her arms. I look at ellis. Both of us are trying not to laugh.
"You're so clumsy" I chuckle, helping her steady herself on one foot. "My dad isn't here" she says as she sees me scanning the room.
She giggles, her eyes going wide as I put my hands on her waist, picking her up effortlessly. I sit her on the couch.
Her and her mom talk as I sit on the floor infront of her. I take off her shoe and look at her ankle. "That tickles" she giggles as I hold her foot gently in my hand. I chuckle.
She bends her ankle. "Ow!" She whines. She does it again, trying to stretch it out. "Oww! That hurts" she groans. "Stop moving it then, idiot" I say. She squints at me.
"You've just twisted it.. you might have a bruise but you'll be fine" I say. "I want a bandage" she says. "You don't need one" I say. "I want one" she says.
"I'll get one" Ellis sighs, getting up. She comes back with a bandage, passing it to me. I bandage it up for her. "Okay done" I say.
"You have to kiss it better" she says. "I'm not kissing your foot" I make a face. She giggles, moving it closer. I groan, kissing her ankle quickly. She grins.
"She has you wrapped around her finger" Ellis chuckles. She giggles as I sit next to her, nudging her.
"What happened to dad?" She asks. "I told him he should stay at a hotel for a while" Ellis says.
"Are you mad at him because of me?" She asks. "I'm mad at him because of him" Ellis says.
"Do you mind me and derek together?" She asks. "No.. trust me, you'd know if I didn't like him" Ellis says. She chuckles. I smile small.
"Do you think I'm slutty?" She asks. "Meredith, you're in a serious relationship at sixteen.. no" she says. "Dad thinks I am" she says.
"You know what age your dad lost his virginity" Ellis says. She shakes her head. "Fifteen.. and it wasn't to his girlfriend at the time.. he cheated on her with another girl" she says. "He's a slut" she says. Ellis chuckles.
"I should go home soon" I run my fingers through her hair. She looks at me. "No" she says. I nod. She shakes her head.
"I'll bring your stuff back here if you want later" I say. She left everything at my house. Ellis gets up and walks to the kitchen. "Bye derek" she says. "Bye" I say.
"I'll see you later" I go in to kiss her but she moves her face. "Meredith" I say. She pouts. "I'll see you tomorrow.. and later, when I drop your things off" I chuckle softly.
She shakes her head. "Well, I'm leaving" I get up. I lean down, grabbing her face, kissing her quickly. She giggles against my lips.
I grin, leaving. I get in my car and go home. A little while later I drop off her stuff before going back to my house.
