Scars and Souvenirs

After the week Juliette and Mark had they finally got to stay at Marks hotel and not have an uninterrupted night. Both Mark and Juliette knew that they weren't dating each other but they had feelings for each other of course. Juliette was scared to date Mark knowing that he was a whore or... was a whore. But Juliette knew that at this moment there was no point in thinking about that as her and Mark were having a great night with just watching movies and eating junk food.

"Mark come on, We have to get going." Juliette said to mark, as she was walking towards the bath room. 

"Ugh why can't we just stay here all day." Mark replied, sitting up on the bed watching Juliette. 

"Nope not today, Meredith is back to work and, I would like to be there." Juliette tells him. Getting her clothes on. 

"Fine I guess I'll get ready." Mark said, getting out of bed heading to the bathroom not before giving Juliette a kiss on the forehead.

"I'll see you later. Don't forget Meredith invited us to have dinner with her and Derek." Juliette said to Mark, walking into the locker room. Also hearing Izzie speaking. 

"He's in George's room and when George's stupid marriage crashes and burns he's gonna wanna move back in and he won't be able to. His life will be in a shambles, his finally realize that his dead is dead, he'll realize he made a fool of himself by marrying someone he doesn't really love and he'll have no place to go. Is that what you want?" Izzie asked Meredith in the locker room. 

"That's exactly what I want." Meredith replied. Getting ready for her shift as Alex, George, and Cristina enter.

"Huh, look who found some clothes." Alex said, looking at Izzie. 

"How you doing?" George asked Meredith. 

"Ok, everybody, let's do this once." Meredith started, getting everyones attention.  "I'm fine. She's cremated, I picked out a beautiful urn and she's hanging out in the back of my closet. Any more questions about my dead mother or can we get back to work?" 

"Does anyone know who the new chief candidate is?" Cristina asked, as Bailey walks into the locker room. 

"Chief's bringing in a ringer in case he doesn't want to give the job to either one of your boyfriends." George said, looking at Meredith, Cristina and Juliette. 

"Mark's not my boyfriend, so I have nothing to worry about. Cristina and Meredith do." Juliette said. 

"O'Malley and Stark, your with Shepherd today. Yang, Dr. Montgomery. Stevens, to the clinic. Karev, Jane Doe. Grey, scut." Bailey tells the interns. 

"Once again, I am fine." Meredith tells her. 

"You can tell everybody you're fine till you're blue in the face. Your mom died and you almost joined her, you're taking it easy." Bailey tells her, walking away from the group.

"Don't forget dinner tonight." Meredith tells Juliette, as they walk in the hallway.

"Yes I know, I already told Mark so I'm not alone." Juliette said, walking towards George to go find Derek. "I'll see you later."

"Derek" Helen said, as Derek, George and Juliette walk into the room. 

"There she is. How was your flight?" Derek asked.
