Miles Apart • MerNick

Closure

The next day, Meredith just got out of surgery and on her way to the lab.

Opening the door she saw Andrew sitting on the chair across from hers.

"Hey!" she smiled walking up to him with a bright smile

"Hi" he answered back as her lips met hers

"You okay?" she asked, noticing his mood as she sat on the chair across from hers

"You didn't come home last night" he sighs

"I'm sorry, I got pulled into an emergency surgery " she answered, looking at him apologetically

"I waited for you" he continued "I cooked your favourite pasta" he added looking up at him

"Did you save some? I mean were there left overs?" she asked, hoping there is

"So... you and the transplant guy" he then sighs, changing the subject "You're friends with him now?" he wanted to know

"We're friends...yes" Meredith admitted

"Oh come on" he then scoffed "You're really gonna lie to my face,Mer" he added, looking at her in disbelief

"I'm not lying!" she protested "He was my childhood best friend, that's it"

"You had a history with him and you never bothered to at least mention it to me?" he then said

"Because it's all in the past" she defended "It doesn't matter!"

"Did you love him?" he asked, trying to corner him

"Why does it matter?" she asked, confused at his sudden curiousness

"Because I wanna know..." he answered "If I should be worried or not?"

"As a friend of I did... we grew up together!" she admitted, annoyed a little bit at him for digging too much information about their past "You really want to start a fight just because I'm friends with the guy who punched you?" she asked "You have nothing to worry about, Andrew. Because I love you " she added soothingly

"I'm sorry I-...." he breathed out "I'm sorry... it's just... the way he looks at you sometimes it-..it kinds bothers me" he admitted

"What look?" she asked curiously, frowning at him

"Hey" Maggie greeted walking inside the lab with Amelia

Andrew left almost two hours ago and since then, Meredith hasn't got out of the lab.

"Hey" Meredith greeted back as the two women sat on the chair across from her

"Your name isn't on the board" Amelia stated

"Yeah... I cleared my schedule, I don't feel like doing anything today" Meredith sighs

"That's something new..." Amelia frowned, confusedly

"That rarely happens, what's going on?" Maggie added

"Nothing... just tired" Meredith answered

"Andrew called last night asking for you" Maggie stated

"I was in surgery" Meredith answered shortly

"What's going on?" Amelia asked again

"He said something..." Meredith began

"Said what?" Maggie asked

"Who?" Amelia asked the same time as Maggie

"He said something and I don't know if he said it as a friend or... something else"

"Who are we talking about?" Maggie asked

"Nick" Meredith answered shortly

"Oh..." Maggie said, not really surprised
"Well..."

"What'd he say?" Amelia then asked

"Nothing, nothing.... it's... stupid"  Meredith sigh before walking out of the lab, avoiding further questions from her sister.

Deep in her thoughts, not aware of her surrounding, she made her way towards the empty on call room, locking it behind her.

Letting herself fall apart for the first time since the man she used to be in love with came back.

Crying silently, covering her mouth to silent herself,she let her back hit the wall behind her and fall on the floor, as tears continuesly streaming down her cheeks.

Overwhelmed by the years she had spent trying to get over him.His words from their conversation yesterday is still playing back and forth in her mind.Hating feeling like this cause she felf like she's cheating on Andrew.

She never knew he actually loved her,not just a friend back then, though she noticed the difference now he acted around her sometimes when they were alone in a room or their gaze accidentally met,she never really put a meaning to it because she thought he didn't feel the way.

Too afraid to lose the only friend she had, she never told him about her feelings, though she talk to him about the man she liked, actually telling him about the guy, specifically describing it to him, but she never told him that it was him.

Too short right?

I know I'm sorry,but I'll try to publish a new chapter later or tomorrow.
