Meredith's POV

The mysterious man finally turned around. Revealing my nightmare to be true.

"Ahh. Meredith. So nice to see you."

Derek.

He was holding out his arms but my first instinct was to scream. I still thought I was hallucinating or something.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?" He said with a smile on his face. My mouth was still open.

"Meredith? Is everything ok?" I heard Andrew call out from the next room. There was a silent pause until I finally had the strength to say, "Umm yeah. Everything's good over here." I noticed Derek's confused expression as he said, "Oh. Someone else is here..." He walked inside into the living room. When he saw Andrew, he held back laughing.

"Is that my... my shirt?" He asked still giggling and pointing at the button-up, silk long sleeve. Andrew blushed. I tried to explain, "I got his shirt wet and I-I offered him one of yours. He didn't know." Derek was still laughing though. "So are you two dating?" Now I was blushing. "Uhh... N-No it's not what it looks like I promise." I felt Andrew glaring at me as I said that. I mean we aren't really dating yet. We haven't actually been on a date. "Then why is he over?" I panicked and shot back, "Why are you here? You haven't explained anything!"

He sighed and crossed his arms. "I-uh... Ok." "I needed to-I needed to fake my own death," he began. "What? Why?" I asked almost hysterically. I felt myself sink down on the couch, not even realizing I was doing it. "I promise it was only to protect you. I was being threatened by another government official. He was threatening you, the kids... I had to. I don't know what I would have done." "What do you mean? And why didn't you just tell me!?" I was angry and I didn't know why, but shouldn't I be happy? "He was mad that I was going to quit working in D.C. with them. And if he knew you knew... He definitely would've done something. And look, I'm ok if you're seeing someone, I didn't expect you to welcome me back like that. It's fine because I'm dating someone too." I felt myself go numb. "Oh. That's... good." I felt angry or maybe I felt like crying, I couldn't tell. I don't know why this is making me so mad. Why is he even here? I could have moved on so much faster if he didn't show up like this.

"Can you please just... Leave. This is a lot to take in and-" I was cut off by the sound of the oven going off. "I have to get those." I said before quickly making a dash out of the room. I felt bad for leaving Andrew alone with my ex-husband. Until, I saw him follow me in. He wasn't making direct eye contact and I could tell he was kind of pissed off. I pulled the tin out of the oven and turned around to look at him. "Andrew, I'm so sorry I had no idea he was..." "Meredith, it's ok. And he did leave the house, by the way. Are you ok though?" I was holding it all together until he asked me that. I felt my emotions start to spill out like a volcano as soon as the question left his mouth. I tried to talk, but my eyes were watering and my throat was choking up. I was now completely balling.

Andrew wrapped one arm around me and led me back into the living room. We both sat on the couch. I just couldn't stop crying. Through my tears, I saw him looking away from me while he had his arm rested around me. I put my hand on his leg and leaned my head down on his shoulder. I finally managed to say, "Thank you for everything. Want to decorate the cupcakes? It make take my mind off everything." I felt him slightly pull away and say, "I wish I could but... I probably shouldn't. I still have to finish my work for the lab." I pushed myself off of him and shot him a confused look. He started grabbing his things and in a few moments, he had his jacket on ready to go.

"Well, I'll see you later Dr. Grey." He said with a slight smile. He mostly looked upset. "Oh uh... Yeah, see you I guess." I went out to reach him one last time before he left, but he moved away to fast. I felt lonely now. Just an hour ago things were fine, more than fine. But now, I'm couldn't help but feel empty. I felt like crying again, but I lacked the energy to even do that. I decided to finish the cupcakes. I finished them and decided to do green, white, and red colored frosting.

I guess I had someone on my mind...
