Chapter eight.

Meredith's Pov.
11 hours later.

"Long day huh? You look exhausted" Derek said as he walks toward the OR board.

"I've preformed 3 surgeries in 19 hours of corse I am exhausted" Richard Webber-The chief of surgery- said back and he rubbed his eyes.

"Maybe you should go home and get some rest" Derek said.

"No I'll sleep in an on-call room" the Chief said. He walked down the hallway and soon was no longer visible to us.

"Whoa Mer! What happened to your face?" Derek asked pulling me out of my gaze.

"I-uh someone hit me, that's all" I said nervously. I could tell him it was his wife, but I have caused enough drama, so why cause more?

"Who? Was it a patient?" He asked. My face was red. I didn't know what to say to him.

"It was, uh, you know what forget it, it's not important" I said turning back to the chart  I was doing.

"No! I can't forget about it, someone hurt you." He said. Why did he care, I'm not his girlfriend anymore.

"You chose to be with your wife and to rebuild the marriage you had years ago, and I have no problem with that, but the minute you chose her was the minute you should have stopped giving a damn about me" I said. It was true, he has a wife he should be more caring to her than me.

"Just because I chose her doesn't mean I have to stop caring about you, I still love you, but.....Addie, she is my wife" he said.

"I know that, but I'm not in love with you anymore Derek, I have moved on, and you have a wife. Remember her, the woman who hates my guts!" I said, sounding a little bitter.

"I understand that, maybe we can at least be friends?" He asked.

"I don't think is being friends is the best option" I said facing him once again.

"Dr.Grey, we have surgery in 15 minutes, take the chart and scrub in once you've read it" Addison Shepherd said as she walked over to me and Derek.

"Im on Bailey's survive," I said cool. I walked away with the chart to my room and I headed to my patients room.

"What was that about Addison?" I heard Derek say from afar.

"Nothing, it was nothing" she replied. Her heard the clacking of her heals fading farther as she walked in the opposite direction from me. I entered the patients room and waited for Dr.Bailey to enter the room.

"Hi Ms. Becker, I'm Meredith" I said.

"You can call me Margo, I hate it when people call me 'Ms.Becker' it's annoying and it is the one thing that still ties me to my mother" she said.

"Ok, Margo, Dr.Bailey is going to be here in a moment and she is going to explain how this procedure works" I said. A moment later Bailey walked through the door.

"Hello Ms-" Bailey started.

"She prefers Margo" I interrupted. She nodded and filled Margo in on the procedure.

"Alrighty, Margo, you know the drill, you go into the OR in an hour, do you have any questions about the surgery?" Bailey asked softly.

"What if the surgery doesn't work?" Margo asked. "What if my kidneys fail again, then what will I do"

"You will be placed back on a donor list and pray the U.N.O.S can find you a kidney before it is too late" Bailey answered.

"I have had three kidney transplants and all of them didn't even last two years. Hell, I was lucky when they lasted a year" she said bitterly. "If this kidney fails, if it fails again, I am done with this"

"What do you mean? Are you saying you are done with transplants?" I asked.

"This is my fourth Kidney transplant Dr.Grey, my mom was a junkie and couldn't stop using throughout the pregnancy so my organs were shitty and they still are. I managed to live 11 years with the Kidney I was born with but I would rather die than force my body to survive hell" she said. "So yeah, after this I'm done with kidney transplants."

"We will um, give you some time to think" Bailey said. We walked to the door but stopped.

"I don't need to think, my choice is final." We both nodded and turned for the hallway.

"That poor girl, how could someone do that to a child who hasn't even been born yet?" I asked.

"Some people are just that darn ignorant and stupid" Bailey said.

A/N:
I am not sure I like this chapter but I'm just going to leave it here for right now because I am experiencing a little bit of writers block, and it took me forever to write this and I feel like it isn't good enough.
