Flashforward:
Everyone stares at me, giving me looks of sympathy and pity as I walk down the school hallway for the first time since it happened.
I know that I look like crap. I'm wearing Derek's sweats which are really baggy on me, boots and my hair is in a high messy bun. I know derek would still find me hot though. That makes me feel better.
"Hey, does this mean you're single now? Cause I'd hit that" a guy says. I look at him shocked. I flinch slightly as Mark walks infront of me, punching him in the face.
"Say something to her again, I fucking dare you" he says. The guy just looks at me before walking away.
He wraps his arm loosely around my waist, walking with me down the hallway. "No wonder he killed himself.. I would too if I had a girlfriend who went around looking like that" I hear a girl say. I Ignore it.
We go into the classroom. "Will you sit with me?" I ask. "Of course" he sits next to me.
"Oh, meredith.. are you okay?" The teacher asks. Everyone looks at me. I don't answer. "Can we just get on with the lesson please miss?" Mark says. She does. I'm zoned out the whole time.
After class he walks with me to the common room. I stop in the doorway as I look at the couch that me and derek always sit on. I go and sit on it by myself. My friends sit around me.
"Where is the bitch?" A girl storms into the room. "Its your fault! What kind of a girlfriend let's her boyfriend do that to himself!?" She yells at me.
I know who she is. She's the cheer captain. She's been in love with him for ages. I don't think derek ever knew, but I did.
Mark pulls her away from me. "I bet it was you who pushed him over the edge! You stupid-" Mark pushes her out of the room.
I just stare at the door that she just left out of in shock. "Mer-" Cristina says. I get up and leave the room quickly. "Meredith wait! Let me drive you home" Mark follows after me.
Flashforward over:
"Are you okay my love?" He puts his hand on my cheek, making me look at him instead of at the road. "Can you drive instead please? I'm scared I'm gonna crash or something" I whisper.
For the past few weeks derek has been teaching me how to drive. I'm not good at if at all for some reason.
"You can do it baby, I believe in you" he says. "Derek, please" I say. He sighs. We switch places. We both close the doors as he's now in the drivers seat and I'm in the passenger seat.
He puts his hands on my cheeks. "You can do it baby.. promise" he kisses me. I smile. "Well, my test is next week, so if not-" I say. "You can!" He says firmly. I smile.
I did not pass that test, but I love how much he believed that I would. He's the most supportive boyfriend ever and I love him so much for it.
