Missing piece

Blood is thicker than Water or is it?

Lunas POV

Theres a saying well not really a saying more of a quote "Sometimes blood isn't thicker than water and family will cross you quicker than strangers" . You see this particular quote always makes me think and kind of relate to it. I always call Derek, Addison and Mark my family but there was one before them. One that had quite literally ruined me beyond belief. Going into details and telling people has never been my favourite. Even when I told Addison and she told Derek and Mark I couldn't feel comfortable around them for ages until I got used to them knowing. Its like a guilty secret or a different person living inside me waiting to disappear one day.

'What are you doing here?' I asked leaning against the wall staying as far away from him as I could.

'Well Nova, I've been looking for you since London and I wanted to see you' he replied with his deep musty voice.

I hated being called Nova. Not even Derek knew that as my real name I've always gone by Luna. I Looked between Derek and My step dad to see what to say.

'You know you're not allowed to make contact. I don't want to see you!' I said quietly.

He slid his seat back making his way over to me.

'You know Nova I never liked it when you raised your voice at me did I?' just as he said that I felt a cold grip around my arm.

'When I say your name I expect you to answer?' He shouted in my face.

'Stop it! You can leave otherwise I'm calling the police. You can be arrested for breaching a restraining order and you know that' Derek raised his voice standing between us.

'I'm calling Security to escort you out. And next time don't impersonate her lawyer.' Derek said while opening the door.

I slid down the wall I was leaning on and put my head in my chest trying to regulate my breathing. Then I suddenly jumped at the feel of a hand on a back.

'Lulu its fine he's gone' Derek whispered into my ear.

The realisation that he had gone made me feel some sort of relief but also the that fact he had found me made me feel worse.

'Derek how did he find me? I changed my name and changed my whereabouts every two years. I have to leave again he'll come back. And he'll do worse next time just wait. You , You've threatened him he'll come after you too. And Addison I have her last name.' I said walking back and fourth the room. The throbbing from where he grabbed my arm was beginning to take over.

'Lulu you are safe he's not gonna come back you have the restraining order right? he can't come back I've warned him and if he does he can't hurt you' Derek said trying to reassure me.

'Do you think Addison will let me continue my residency from LA?' I said to myself and looking at Derek.

'Luna Shepherd-Montgomery you are my little sister. And you are not going anywhere I promise you. That's your name, That's who you are and That's who you deserve to be. You aren't that scared little girl anymore you can do something about this. You are Brave, and adventurous and crazy in the most amazing way and one day you are going to make an amazing surgeon so you are going to wait here while I go and get you a coffee and a banana sack because I can tell you are dehydrated and we are going to prepare for my surgery this afternoon okay? that I picked you especially for because you are the best resident in this damn program okay?' Derek said staring straight at me.

'Thank you' I said sitting down. My nerves finally calmed down. It seems strange but reminding me of who I am calms me down and my identity and name I need to be reminded of when I go into a cycle of overthinking.

Merediths POV

'Do you think he has ever had feelings for her?' I asked Christina looking at Derek and Luna in the conference room while they studied for a surgery.

'Them two? No, they may act like it but no that's family there. It's weird because they aren't related but no they are each others family you can tell they care and love each other.' Christina said looking at them too.

'Wow that was beautiful, no I know that I just I don't know anything about how she got his last name or anything like that. I don't know her.' I said walking away with Christina.

'Then get to know her. You know you take in strays, she is one of them but she's one of Dereks strays from years ago. You gotta make time for her. She is a mixture of us you know.' Christina said in a very serious tone.

'A mixture of us?' I say curiously.

'Umm haha the first question I asked her was what specialty she was thinking of and she that's a personal question. and she cares for her patients and people around her like you. Theres many more but those are a few that have stuck in my mind. Her first day she got shot and she's still here. Says a lot about her personality right?' Christina said while walking away.

'What do you mean?' I ask her.

'I'm getting paged just think okay' she said running through the doors.

Christina was never that serious about anyone or anything really.

Lunas POV

'Hey thanks for today I umm appreciate it. Can you come with me to report it to the police please?' I said to Derek as we were leaving the OR after a successful surgery.

'Yeah sure. I need to tell Meredith first though!' He said leaving me in the scrub room.

Taking off the gown I could see the slowly growing bruise appearing on my arm. The flashes from the past kept on going through my head and what happened.

'Yo Luna!' Jackson popped his head in.

'Hi sorry you umm startled me' I responded.

'You did good in there, I'm looking forward to seeing you grow into an amazing surgeon I know it.' He said staring at me with a smile.

'Thank you Jackson, Oh Ummm how did your surgery go with Sloan?' I said leaving the Scrub room with him.

'Yeah it went good he let me be first assist and he hasn't let anyone do that before.' he said smiling at me as we walked.

'You must be a good surgeon then he doesn't let just anyone do that' I said bumping into him to add a bit on contact.

'Thanks I'm gonna take that as a compliment then, Only thing was that he would not stop talking about you! and how I should ask you out' He said stopping me.

'Oh well that's just Sloan trying to be an annoying big brother then hey aha' I said trying to move on.

'He also said you were meaning to ask me out' he whispered to me.

'Oh um...' I began to say before I was interrupted.

'I mean I would have loved to go out with you..' he said looking me with deep eye contact.

'You would've?...' I asked.

'I'm currently seeing someone...' he began to say.

'Jackson you ready to go?' Lexie shouted from the end of the corridor with her hand out.

'Yeah umm see you later Luna.' He said walking up top her and going in for a hug and a kiss.

Waving at them knowing that both me and mark were potentially late for the people we wanted to be with.

'Hey Lulu you want to go?' Derek said walking up behind me.

'Umm no sorry Dr Hunt just paged me so I'll see you later' I said running down the corridor to find an empty On Call room.

Sitting in the dark made me feel like an absolute idiot for falling for someone again all I do is get hurt and fall for random people.

Move to Los Angeles go be with Addison. Run away.
