I pull up my panties and sort out my skirt. He runs his fingers through his hair. He smiles at me. I don't smile back at him.
"You okay my love?" He hugs me. "Yeah" I hug his neck. "Its alright, nobody heard us" he opens the door, showing me the empty room. He thinks I'm nervous because we did it in public. "Good" I smile small.
"I love you" he kisses me. I look into his eyes as he sorts out my clothes for me, admiring my body sweetly.
"Mark has feelings for me" I say. "What?" He chuckles softly. "The other day at the party when I went after him, I asked him what was up and he just kinda looked at me for a while" I explain.
"A look means he's in love with you now?" He rolls his eyes. "He was going to kiss me.. but I stopped him" I say. "Are you being serious?" He asks. I nod.
"I'm sorry" I say. "What the hell meredith, why wouldn't you tell me sooner?" He asks. "I was scared" I say. "Scared of what?" He asks. He looks angry. "That you'd hurt yourself" I start crying. I tried to hold it back but can't.
He immediately hugs me tight. I cry quietly into his chest. "I'm sorry for not telling you" I sniffle. "Its okay" he squeezes me. He kisses my head.
"Stop crying baby, I'm not mad at you and I promise I won't hurt myself.. I trust you and I know you wouldn't ever cheat on me or anything.. its okay" he says.
I pull away slowly. I wipe my tears. "You're not mad?" I ask. "Not at you" he says.
"Are you okay?" He puts his hands on my cheeks. "If you are then yes" I say. He kisses me.
He pulls away slowly. "You're all snotty" he teases. I giggle, wiping my nose.
"Do you wanna go and find cristina so I can have a word with mark?" He opens the door. "What are you gonna do?" I ask. "Don't worry about it" he says.
He holds my hand. He takes me back to the rest of the group. "Just stay with the group so you don't get lost.. don't wander off" he says. I stand next to cristina. "I'm not a child" I say.
He goes to walk away. I grab his hand. He looks at me. "Don't fight" I say quietly. "Babe, it will be fine, okay?" He says.
"He didn't do it to hurt your feelings" I say. "Are you defending him? Seriously?" He asks. "No, I'm on your side always.. im just trying to get you to not hurt your best friend" I say. He let's go of my hand.
He walks over to mark. "What's going on?" Cristina asks. "Nothing" I sigh. "I wanna talk to you outside" he says to mark. Mark looks at me. I look down. "Talk to me outside?" He chuckles.
"Now" Derek says. "You want to talk to me outside? What century do you think this is?" Mark says. "Are you going to go or do I have to drag you out there?" Derek steps closer. "You're gonna have to drag me" Mark says.
I gasp quietly as derek grabs him, pushing him back. They start fighting. I look at the door and see that our teacher is getting closer.
"Cris" I say. She runs over to the door and goes outside to distract the teacher.
"Derek" I go after them as he pushes Mark out of the doors of the museum. I put my hand over my mouth as they fall down the stairs, rolling ontop of eachother.
They both get up and derek punches him in the face. Mark punches him back. Derek pushes him back and he falls into a water fountain. It's only shallow water, thank god.
Mark pulls derek in and they're now fighting in the water. "What, are you gonna drown me?" Mark chuckles. "Yes" Derek pushes his head under the water.
"Derek let go of him!" I run over to them. I stand on the outside of the fountain. He let's go. "Mark!" I yell as he goes in to punch derek again. He stops. They both look at me.
They get out of the water. Mark storms off and derek walks over to me. I walk away from him. "Babe!" He calls after me. I go inside and join the group. Mark and derek don't.
Me and the group are in a room looking at some paintings. I feel someone hold my hand. I look. "Don't touch me" I pull my hand away. "Baby, I'm sorry" Derek says.
"I am so angry with you" I say. I scan his body. "I got clothes from lost and found" he says, seeing the confusion on my face.
"I had to do something.. you know I did" he says. "I know" I sigh. "Will you forgive me?" He puts his hands on my cheeks. I pout my lips. He kisses me.
"What are we going to do?" I ask. "I don't know, maybe just leave it for a while" he says. "Alright" I say.
"Are we okay?" He asks. "Yes" I say. "Good" he hugs me. I smile. "I love you" he says. "I love you" I say.
We pull away. Everyone's phones bleep. We get a message from our teacher telling us to meet at the coach. We all go and she gets us all back in the coach.
Me and derek are in the back again, making out. I open my eyes as I feel eyes on us. I pull away from him slowly as I make eye contact with mark. He's sat alone.
Derek looks at him. "Der, I'll be right back.. I need to talk to him" I say. "Meredith" he says. "Please" I say. "Okay" he sighs. I get up and sit on the seat next to mark.
"I'm sorry" I look at him. "I'm sorry too" he says. "You know I couldn't not tell him, right?" I say. "I know" he says.
"Can we be friends still?" I ask. "Eventually.. when I get over you" he whispers. "Okay" I say.
I hug him. He hugs me back. "You're an amazing friend to me mark and I'm so grateful that you were there for me when derek wasn't" I say quietly. We pull away.
"You don't really want to be with me.. I'm annoying and clingy and have no boundaries at all" I say. He chuckles.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you today.. I was really nervous about derek and-" I say. "Its okay" he says. "Okay" I let out a breath.
"Addison, you can sit here" I say as I see her looking for a free seat. I smile at him before going and sitting next to derek. Addison sits down. Her and Mark smile at eachother.
I cuddle into derek, closing my eyes as I rest my head on his chest. He hugs me. The coach starts moving and they take us back to school.
