CHAPTER NINE no more tears. season two, episode two.
MEREDITH, CRISTINA, AND CASSIE WERE SPRAWLED ACROSS THE BATHROOM, coming down from a long night of drinking (minus Cristina, who had spent the night indulging in a couple pints of ice cream).
Meredith was hunched over by the toilet, Cristina sat grumpily in the shower tub, and Cassie was seated against the far wall, blankly staring across the room.
Meredith was drunk because her and Derek broke up, Cristina was upset because her and Burke broke up and she was pregnant with his child, and Cassie was simply trying to forget the fact that the calendar read June 20th.
"It's not us," Meredith slurred slightly. "It's them. Them and their stupid boy penises. They didn't tell me they had a wife. They lied to their best friend. They gave absolutely no warning that they were going to break up with you."
"It's not that Burke broke up with me, it's how he broke up with me. Like it was business. Like it was a business transition, like he's the boss of me!"
"He is the boss of you," Meredith cut in.
"And what's worse, is that I care."
"I'm gonna throw up again. No. Wait. False alarm."
Cristina sighed. "Look, the problem is estrogen."
"No, the problem is tequila."
"I used to be all business, and then he goes and gets me pregnant."
"With the stupid boy penis."
"Now, I'm having hormone surges. He ruined me. I'm ruined. He turned me into this fat, stupid, pregnant girl. Estrogen!"
Izzie and George enters the bathroom, more than confused at the sight before them.
"Penises, Izzie."
"Estrogen, George."
Cassie said nothing, keeping her eyes on the blank spot of the wall. June 20th.
"Okay," George turned to Izzie, "What did I miss?"
"I came home to full on vomit drama," Izzie pointed to Meredith. "Apparently, she dumped Derek, and—" she pointed to Cristina "—she's been sleeping with Burke."
"I knew that," George waved her off, before he looks at Cassie, who was abnormally quiet. "What about her?"
"She, uh," Izzie thought. "Actually, I don't know what her problem is."
