Chapter 1! The Life They'd Never Have!
They'd been fighting, he remembered that clearly. He didn't remember much except her face as she yelled at him, tears in her eyes. He remembered yelling back. He'd yelled at her that he'd broken up with Addison. He didn't remember much just yelling. He hated that they were yelling at each other when he should've been protecting her.
Things were fuzzy until…
BANG!
Meredith screamed and fell to the ground in pain. He turned to see her sprawled out on the ground; she was lying in a steadily growing pool of blood. Her blood. He rushed to her side and knelt down beside her. He reached down and moved her so he was cradling her head in his lap. The doctor in him knew you should never move an injured person unless you're absolutely sure you won't cause more injury but that part of him was drowned out by the love he felt for Meredith and how afraid he was for her. All he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and make everything ok. He wanted to be able to save her.
"Tell me you love me Derek." Meredith said, her voice reduced to a whisper because of the pain. Her breathing was shallow and restricted. Derek nodded, the tears in his eyes matched the ones in hers.
"I do." He said. "I love you Meredith." Meredith smiled shakily at him.
"I pick you, I chose you, I love you Meredith." Derek said crying. "I should have never chosen Addison, nothing was right about her. It was all wrong. It's you Meredith. When I'm with you everything is right. I love you Meredith. You've got to hang on ok?" Meredith's eyes dropped.
"No, no, no Meredith please stay with me." Derek begged. Meredith's eyes opened slightly. And she gave a small smile.
"You love me." She whispered. Derek nodded tears in his eyes.
"I do, I love you Meredith." He said. Meredith smiled and closed her eyes again. And just like that she faded away. The ambulance arrived to late, 5 seconds after Meredith had died. She was pronounced DOA, dead on arrival and the news was broken to her family and friends.
Christina had broken down in front of everyone, a sight no-one had ever thought they'd see and a sight they realised they should never have seen because Meredith was her person and she was Meredith's.
Izzie burst into tears at the news of losing Meredith, she collapsed into a chair. Meredith had let her and George move in, she had been their friend as well as their college, she was the world's nicest person and now she was gone.
Alex had remained silent and tried to help Izzie but inside he was hurt just as deeply as the others. He may not have been Meredith's favourite person and she wasn't his but she had been there for him, she was a good person and didn't deserve to have died when junkies, murderers, wife beaters or all of the other horrible type of people walked around breathing.
George had sat down in the chair, not saying a word, he was in denial. A few tears leaked out of his eyes when he realised it was true. He had lost his best friend and the woman he worshipped from a far.
Burke didn't know what to do, he just sat in chair thinking about the young intern who had had such a future ahead of her, he hadn't known her very well but what he had seen of her he'd liked. She was a wonderful person that he knew.
Dr. Bailey had done nothing at all but stand rooted to the spot, there was no yelling and no tears. The interns saw her for who she truly was, a small woman who was hit just as hard as any of them. They saw a woman who saw them through the hardest time of their careers and who couldn't believe that one of her own was gone.
The chief decided to ring Ellis even though she probably wouldn't know anything, she'd probably think of Meredith as a 5 year old girl and be shocked to see a young woman instead. But it was the best thing her could think of doing without breaking down. It would keep him busy.
And Derek. Well Derek didn't do anything, he sat on a chair, his eyes red from crying but he'd cry no more, no tears would come. He couldn't cry anymore. He'd done enough of that.
He wasn't in denial, he knew it had happened, we was there after all so he couldn't pretend it wasn't real. Even though he hoped it was just some horrible nightmare he knew the truth was it wasn't. He wasn't trying to stay strong for anyone like Alex was for Izzie. There was no reason to, there was no one to be strong for, not now Meredith was gone. he didn't think of the future Meredith had as a doctor like Burke was, he wasn't standing in the middle of the room being scene by the others for who he was and he wasn't ringing Meredith's family to try and keep busy. Derek was sitting in the corner of the room, his face in his hands. All he could do was think about Meredith. The times they'd had, the good and the bad, the things they'd done, sneaking around together, their fights, their laughs, their kisses. Everything. The things he change if he could. Most of all he thought about the life they could have had together.
The life they'd never have together.
Well what do you all think so far?
There's more to come if you have more tissues!
