Addison's Pov

Meredith has been working in my service for two weeks. I agreed to come and work permanently at Seattle Grace as the new Neo-Natal specialist. Meredith and I had endured a few fights in the last two weeks. They were always started by me, but she always had comebacks.

"These charts are sloppy Grey!" I yelled when she entered the empty exam room. "How do you expect to become a surgeon if you can't do a fucking chart right" I said harshly.

"I'm sorry, I will re-do them" she said emotionless. She grabbed the charts and  turned to walked away. That was weird she always makes a snarky comment that cause more and more yelling.

"I'm not done!" I roared. She walked back into the room and placed the charts down. I closed the door and walked back to the counter. "Did I dismiss you? Because I don't think I did" I yelled. She continued to sit there silently.  "Did you hear me Grey!" I yelled louder.

"I-I just don't have it in me anymore to do this on a daily basis, I can't keep fighting with you" she finally said.

"Then do shit right!" I screamed. "We wouldn't be constantly fighting if you knew how to do you job Dr.Grey" I roared.

"Please, I don't have the energy for this" her voice broke as she spoke. She grabbed the chats from the chair.

"I expect all of these done in an hour!" I yelled dismissing her.  She ran out of the room and turned down a hallway. I exited the room and headed to the maternity wing.

An hour later and Meredith still hadn't returned. She hadn't answered any of the  pages I sent her. She claimed to have no energy to fight but she knew how to piss me off without even trying. If I wanted to find her I was going to have to look for her. 

I found her in a hallway sitting in a gurney . The charts were piled at the end of the gurney next to her.  "Do people seriously pay you to sit around and ignore pages?" I yelled. She jumped and turned around.

"I-I" She started. Her eyes were all  red, and puffy. She wiped her eyes and handed me the charts.  "They're done" she said weakly.

"Get out of my face Grey, you're on scut for the rest of the day" I said harshly. She slid of the gurney and walked down the hall. She stopped and swallowed a pill. Is she using? I headed to the chiefs office full of rage.

"Addison, what can I do for you?" He asked innocently.

"You need to fire Meredith Grey!" I yelled.

"I get that you don't like her, but I can't fire her because you don't want to work with her, Addie"  he said.

"No, she is strung out on pills, she has been acting sluggish all day, she failed to respond to multiple pages, and I watched her pop a few pills!" I said loudly. "Not to mention her eyes were red, puffy and she was zoning out!" I yelled.

"Are you sure?" He asked. 

"I wouldn't come in if I wasn't Richard!" I said harshly.  I sat down and waited as he called Meredith into his office. When she arrived she looked worse then she did when I left her.

"Sit down" he ordered.  She sat down in the chair.

Lyrics:

(When it all falls, when it all falls down
I'll be your fire when the lights go out
When there's no one, no one else around
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown
When the world gets cold
I'll be your cover
Let's just hold
Onto each other
When it all falls, when it all falls down
We'll be two souls in a ghosttown)
