I don't own Grey's anatomy

"Have you picked a program yet?" Mark stretched out beside Meredith as she flipped through her offers for surgical internships.

"No." She shook her head. "I have Mount Sini which is good it's where you Derek and Addie went but do I want to follow in your footsteps? Then there's Mass Gen but Avery's and Grey's in the same place to much just too much."

"So what that Leaves Settle Grace right are we headed to Seattle Mer?"

"I don't want to." she tossed the papers to the bed and turned her anguished eyes towards him. "I haven't been back to Settle since I was five years old. I don't want to go back now but…" she trailed off.

"But they have an amazing program and your mom's there a mom that needs you as much as you want to deny it." Mark cut in.

"Yeah." Meredith sighed picking up the papers again and nervously shuffling them.

"Mer I think you have your answer." Mark took the offer from Seattle Grace and held it in front of her.

"Yeah I guess I do." She smiled tightly I guess I do. Seattle here we come."

Just then a banging was heard at the front door. "Who could that be?" Mark got out of bed and opened the door to the town house only to find his best friend soaking wet and standing on his doorstep. "Derek What are you doing here? Come in and get out of that ran." He pulled him inside shutting the door against the pelting rain.

"Derek." Meredith came forward a towel in her hand. "Dry off What's going on Where's Addie is Addie Ok?"

Derek started to laugh manically almost tearing the towel out of Meredith's hands. "Addie is Addie ok sure Addie's ok for a whore."

"What." Meredith stared at him sharing a look with Mark who took Derek and led him over to the couch sitting him down.

"Derek what are you talking about why would you say that about Addie?"

"Why would I say that… Good question." He pierced Mark with a look. "I came home tonight and guess what I found, my wife in bed with our other best friend yep that's right she was sleeping with Sam in my bed."

"Does Naomi know" Meredith breathed.

"I have no idea." Derek shook his head. I left I left them there tangled in the sheets. Eleven years I was married to her and she does this." He slammed his fist against the coffee table.

Meredith and Mark shared a look they could have told Derek how he'd been neglecting Addison of late how he'd sent Mark or anyone that was available to eat the dinners he couldn't or go to the plays, but they didn't." Addison Forbes Montgomery Shepard may have been Meredith Grey Sloan's best friend but Derek was to and he was hurting. "Der." Meredith put her hand on his arm.

"Did you know?" Derek looked up at her fire burning in his eyes.

"No, I had no idea." Meredith shook her head. "If I had known well I don't know what I would have done." She said honestly looking at his crushed expression.

She'd known Derek and Addison Shepard since she was seventeen years old and met them when her mother mad her fly to New York with her on a case. The they plus Mark had been interns of Richard Webbers

"Derek look at me." Mark commanded. "You're going to stay with us for a bit but you need to know that me and Mer have decided to go to Seattle."

"Richard's in Seattle." Derek said.

"Yes. Richard is in Seattle." Mark nodded.

"Maybe I'll call him and see if he has a job opening. "

"Maybe you should." Mark looked at Meredith bemused.

"Ok I'm going to go and make up a bed for you." Meredith stood up and walked away leaving the two men to discuss things. Meredith slipped into the bathroom closing the door behind her. She quickly dialed Addison's number. "Addison Shepard you better Answer." She glared at the phone.

"Hello." Sobs came over the phone.

"Oh Addie." Meredith felt bad but she steeled herself. "Addison what the hell do you think you're doing I have a crushed Derek in my living room threatening to come to Seattle with me and Mark."

"You're going to Seattle?"

"Yes I made my decision I'm going to intern at Seattle Grace and since Mark was offered head of plastics at any of the hospitals I got into it won't matter but that isn't here or there what the hell Addie." Meredith hissed.

"It was one time one time Mer I was so lonely and so was he it was just once just once you have to believe me."

Meredith shook her head and leaned against the door. "I do. But I'm with him on this one Ads I have to fix him before I can fix you." Someone knocked on the door. "Hold on Addie." Opening the door Meredith peeked around it.

"What?" Mark sqeezed in the opening.

"He called the Chief of Surgury and asked for a job he just did it."

"Well what did Richard say."

"Yes of course who would turn down having Richard Webber on their service?" Mark shook his head noticing the phone in his wife's hand. "Did you call Addie?"

"of course I did. One second." she picked the phone back up. "Adds you need to stay in New York let Derek come with us and I'll try and fix him but I am made at you Addie don't mistake that."

"And I'm even madder." Mark stole the phone and growled.

"I'm sorry I'm so sorry." Addison was sobbing as Meredith got the phone back.

"I know you are Addison I know." Meredith sighed. "I'll talk to you later." She turned back to Mark. "You out there and distract him well I make the bed. She walked into the hall and found some sheets quickly making up the guest bed she walked back into the living room. "Der why don't you get some sleep." She sighed.

"Thanks Mer." He kissed her cheek and walked away from her. "Yeah anytime." She smiled tightly not sure what to say not wanting to break him more.

"Lets go to bed." Meredith sighed turning to her own husband. As they crawled into bed that night she looked at him. "I think Seattle is going to be even more of a carnival ride then I thought."

A/N so the main pairing is Mer and Mark but Addison and Derek are also in it. Addie through phone calls only for a bit. I think it will be Addex in the end though. Please review.
