PREVIOUSLY ON "SOOTHE":

As Addison falls asleep in the limelight while Meredith stays awake to hear her breathing,

Meredith thinks of all the rhymes and reasons she isn't cheating on Derek with Addison.

But the problem with this line of thought is that she realizes she's extremely tempted.

She knows it's a cliché, to be tempted by a woman people called 'Satan' and 'Whore'.

Meredith knows that people called Addison the 'go-to for adultery' and also, her, that, too.

And Meredith wishes somehow she could just think of Addison platonically, as a friend.

Then this mess wouldn't be a problem at all; then it would be no different than 'a friend'.

She napped in bed with Cristina and Izzie and other female friends- just as friends, no more.

But this is different- because she's had a crush on Addison all those years ago, and still now.

Meredith hates herself for all this as she watches Addison fall asleep, yet Meredith doesn't. (She can't .)

END OF FLASHBACK SEQUENCE.

Chapter 12: Room Service

Meredith Grey comforts Addison Montgomery- who wakes up riddled with nightmares.

"HELP! HELP! HELP! AHHHHHHHH-" Meredith wakes up to Addison screaming in her sleep and she jumps up and jumps right out of bed. Meredith can see that Addison is still not awake, and she watches for an instant to see if she'll settle. She isn't, though; Meredith can still hear Addison's blood-curdling screams two minutes later and she can't stand to see Addison suffer.
