Meredith is just your typical girl trying to get through life with a dad who never pays attention to her and a mom she has never met. When a boy tumbled into her lap, not literally, and all his problems became her problems and all her problems are h...
"What Scooter? What do you want now?" he replied angrily.
"You need to get up, you need to brush your teeth and take a shower, a really long shower," I muttered the last part under my breath, picking up a dirty sock and throwing it off the couch so I could sit down while wrinkling my nose in disgust.
"Scooter I don't want to. Whats the point too? Who am I going to impress?"
"Well I thought you might ask that so I brought her up," I smiled. "Meredith," I called out and in walked the one in only.
"Meredith?" Justin questioned sitting up fixing his hair. I knew that would get him. "Why are you here? How are you here?"
Earlier:
"Meredith please?" I begged placing my hand on hers as she sat in front of me on the other side of the booth in Starbucks.
"Scooter. I don't know. I knew it was a bad idea to come here when you called."
"Mere, I have waited two months thinking that Justin will get better, that it was just a break up and it would be over like his pass relationships, but Meredith I have only heard and saw Justin a few times these past months and he is not doing well. Mere, you know I would only come to you if the situation was really bad."
"I know Scooter, but if I go today I need you to know that I am not going so we can get back together."
I know Mere and I am not making you go back so you can."
"Okay I will go Scooter."
"Thank you Meredith. You are my lifesaver."
"Woah there tiger I thought Yael was your lifesaver when she said yes to marrying your annoying ass," she chuckled sipping down the rest of her drinking and grabbing her keys so we could head over to Justin's house.
Present:
Meredith:
"Meredith?" Justin questioned sitting up fixing his hair. I knew that would get him. "Why are you here? How are you here?"
"Hey blondie. Oh wow your hair oh lordy how did it get so long? Mine barely grew an inch."
"I'll leave you two alone," Scooter said slinking out of the room, "call me later Mere," he whispered before full leaving the house.
"Alright here is the deal before we talk you are going to take a nice long shower and I am going to start cleaning up around here.
~~~~~~~~~~
I throw the last garbage bag out and wait on the couch for Just to appear clean and freshly shaven.
"Why are you here?" I jump in my seat turning to see Justin resting against the bottom step of his staircase.
"How long have you been sitting there?"
"Long enough to wonder why you cut off all connections to speak with me but two months later you are cleaning my house up, me, your ex boyfriend. Now why are you here?"
"To help you Justin. Why else?"
"Does it look like I need your help?"
"Matter of fact Justin it did look like you needed help. It didn't have to be me who helped you, but Scooter came to me scared Justin he was worried for you, he asked for my help and I responded."
"But what I'm not hearing Meredith is did I ask for your help?"
"You know what? I'm sorry Justin. I'm sorry for caring. I forgot that I told you to go find someone else who would love to help you and you can go deny them," I screamed in utter anger and stormed to the door.
"Meredith," he called out, "Meredith," he yelled again but this time grabbing my arm, "I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?" I asked, "No I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For not keeping with my promise. If your career falls, at least this time I'll know it was becasue of you and not because of me."
"Why would you think it was becasue of you?"
My tears fell down in a continues stream as I looked at him, my lips part to tell him off but I shake my head, hes not worth it, at least not anymore.
"Meredith," he called for the hundredth time today. "Please," he cried stopping my hand from reaching out for my car door. He turned me around grabbing my face and he leaned in, "Forgive me please," he whispered in my ear.
"Meet me half way," I whispered back.
"As long as you love me," smirking I pushed him off me not saying anything swung my door open, driving down the street I posted a mental note reminding me to text him tonight.
