Jealous
‘You’re an idiot.’ Mark said as he sat on Meredith’s bed beside her.
‘I’m an idiot?’ Meredith said scoffing.
‘Yeah. Addison.’ Mark said simply to convey his point.
‘What about her?’
‘You’re pushing her away and sleeping with a whole lot of people at that hospital, which you know is hurting her.’
‘She hurt me.’ Meredith said.
‘We are not in high-school Meredith. Stop this game. I know you love her but using her for sex is really not cool, especially when you know she’d do anything right now to be with you. So stop using her and tell her you love her before it’s too late.’
‘What do you mean? Before it’s too late?’ Meredith said as she sat up in front of him, clearly worried.
‘She’s thinking of transferring to a different hospital. She said she can’t be around you and not be with you, well in a way that counts. Which is why she said she can’t wait for you.’ Mark said.
‘Addie won’t leave. The only place she’d go instead of Seattle is New York and she won’t go back to New York because Archer is there and she likes to avoid him unless it’s necessary.’
‘She could go to LA, Naomi and Sam are there.’ He pointed out.
‘She hates the sun as almost as much as she hates the rain.’ Meredith said simply.
‘Yeah well she feels like she can’t breath in Seattle because she misses you and you’re everywhere she turns but not in the way she wants you to be. So I think it’s safe to say she’d take the sun over that.’ Mark said. He seemed to get angrier as he went on.
‘Why do you care so much? You’re my best friend not hers.’
‘Well I’m her friend too Meredith and not to bring this up again but I didn’t sleep with her just because I’m a man-whore, I actually like Addison...a lot but I don’t have a chance with her because she loves you and I’m okay with that but I’m not okay with you hurting her like this.’ Mark sighed as he finished.
‘Wow, okay.’ Meredith said, slightly stunned by Mark’s revelation. She was jealous of the idea that Mark had feelings for Addison and it made her realize how stupid she was actually being. ‘You like Addison? I don’t know how to feel about that. But then I don’t get to feel anything because I’ve been an ass to her and I don’t deserve to feel jealous.’ Meredith looked at Mark, she was about to cry and he knew it so he pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
‘Yeah you do, she’s yours. She’s not even remotely interested in me anymore, to be honest I don’t think she ever was, I was just there. And I’m glad you’ve finally realized that you’ve been ass. The question is what are you gonna do about it?’ Meredith shifted in his arms a little and shook her head. ‘I don’t know.’ She sighed.
