Disclamer: Derek has a child from a previous relationship, he was never together with Addison or Meredith, Addison was his best friend, then he cut contact with everyone.

Tw: Abuse, sh

"Time of death 20:34"

"Shit! Who is going to tell Addison?"

"No need."

Addison walked trough the door in this second and looked at the man who once was her bestfriend. He looked so different from the man she knew. He was cold, he was surrounded by it even after his death.

"Y/n please stop!"

There was a lot of shouting in the hallway, than the door flew open. Y/n smal frame stood in the door.

Addison had to look 2 times before recognizing her. Y/n looked so different. Pale, freakishly skinny, thin hair. But her eyes where the worst. The spark that was once in them completely disappeared. The only thing left was terror.

"No"

The word snapped Addison out of her thoughts. It sounded hurt and empty.

"Y/n please don't run away we want to help you."

Arizona and Jo came around the corner and immediately fell silent when they saw what Y/n had seen.

Y/n just stood there looking at her father not moving a single bit. Arizona tried to lay a hand on Y/n shoulder but the girl flinched away hard, shielding her head with her arms.

"Don't touch me."

She sounded not just scared, but terrified for her life.

"Y/n/n"

Addison called. Y/n snapped her head around and looked at her.

"Addie?"

Addison pov:

Y/n sat on the passenger seat in my car. I talked to the chief and because I am the only person Y/n was somewhat comfortable he agreed that I take her home with me.

It was silent, a heavy silence. I examined Y/n out of the corner of my eye. She was covered in bruises. I defenitely had to have a look at them some looked bad.

Something seemed so incredibly wrong. There was this feeling in my gut that something terrible must have happened to this girl and I belive that something is Derek.

At my house I showed her her room. Only then I noticed how bad her condition is. Walking up the stairs exhausted her way more than it should have and she limps slightly. She looked so scared, it borke my heart.

"Y/n"

She slighty flinched and looked to me.

"Can I have a look at your bruises please? I promise that I will be careful."

Y/n just starred at me unsure what she could say.

"I am fine Addie."

I saw her tensing up and preparimg for my reaction, ready to run if she needed to. I carefully placed one hand on her shoulder. Y/n flinched heavily, but didn't run. I think she craves the warmth and security secretly.

"I know that you are scared. I prmoise you don't have to talk about it right know. I just want to make sure that you are allright and you are not seriously injured. I promise that I will always tell you what I am doing and you can always tell me to stop."

Y/n thought about it for a moment, then nodded sligthly.

"Thank you, I am going to grab you some new clothes you can change into."

I gave her the clothes and was about to walk out, when Y/n stopped me.

"Please stay"

Y/n pov:

I am pathetic! Not even able to be alone to change. But at the same time I am to fucking scared! I know Derek is dead but I am still scared he could pop up any given second.

Addison turned around and I quickly changed in a oversized t-shirt and some shorts. I feel exposed.

"Can I turn around?"

"Yes"

She slowly turned and scanned me with her eyes. She didn't really react what I really appreciated. I wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.

"We can go to the sofa. There are some blankets."

I trotted after her and sat down. Addison wrapped a blanket around me and put some mediacl supplies on the little table infront of us.

"Where do you want to start?"

I showed her my legs. Only a few bruises and the most important no cuts.

"I am going to put some oinment on the bruises. They are not concerning. What do you want to do next?"

I uncovered my arms. There were some bruises and a few scars, but the scars weren't really visible anymore. Nothing here.

"Y/n I would like to have a look at your stomach."

No! No! No! She can't see the cuts and bruises there!!! My breathing grew shallow and I began to shake.

"Sweatheart look at me please! You are safe. Please breath with me. In and out. Exaxtly like that.

She continued breathing with me until I was somewhat calmer.

"I am not going to do anything you don't want. You can always tell me to stop I promise. We are going to do it in your pace. And whatever I am going to see, I won't be mad. "

I nodded weakly and laid down on my back. Addison looked at me to double check with me. I nodded

"I am going to pull your shirt up. You can always tell me to stop."

I felt her gently push up my shirt all the way to the bottom of my bra.

"I am going to push a little bit on the bruises. Tell me if it hurts too much."

I tried to stay focused on my breath. It helped a little bit.

"You are really brave. Nothing seems to be seriously injured."

Addison paused and I knew what she would say next and metnatlly prepaired myself.

"Y/n about the cuts. They seem a little bit infected. How old are they and did you clean them?"

"The newest are from yesterday. I hadn't have the time to clean them propely. I am so so sorry please don't be mad. I swear I didn't want to. I-"

Addison laid a hand on my shoulder and caressed it carefully.

"Calm down sweatheart, everything is alright. I am not mad. I will just clean them up really quick."

It hurt but Addie talked me trough it.

"Honey do you have a blade with you?"

I nodded.

"Can you give it to me please?"

After contemplaiting it a little bit, I decided it would be better to follow her instructions. So I took it out of my phonecase and gave it to her.

"Thank you sweatheart. You are so brave! Do you want to talk about anything?"

I nodded. If I did't tell her now, I will nerver do it.

"Derek abused me. He is the one who did all of this to me. Only the cuts are not from him."

I felt two strong arms wrapping around me, holding me.

"I am so proud of you! Thank you for telling me! I promise you that it is over know and it will never happen again to you. You are safe now I promise!"

I broke down crying. For the first time in years I felt safe.

"Thank you Addie!"

"You can always come to me. No matter the time! I promise you! I will be there for you!"
