I began writing this story a long time ago but I have finally decided to get into writing again. This was my first fic that I wrote when I was younger and my love for writing started to develop. It only felt right to come back and continue it. Of course a lot has happened since season 4 so a few of my original ideas will change. All my chapter titles are named after songs so I will try and continue that too. This is a very short chapter but I felt that this scene needed to be by itself. I hope you enjoy reading my story. Reviews are always appreciated.

Chapter 1: You and Me
He did it, he broke up with Rose. Rose was sad at first but she understood, she knew it was coming. They decided to just be friends, but Derek doubted they would talk again. He got out of his car and looked up on the field where he and Meredith would build their dream house. Derek started to worry when he couldn't see any lights. Oh please tell me she still waited, Derek thought. He ran as fast as he could but when he got there all the candles were out and Meredith was gone. It felt as if someone had just stabbed him in the heart with an 18 gauge needle.
Derek slowly walked back to his trailer. He opened the door and walked in, taking a large deep breath and sighed as he let it out. He looked up and saw Meredith sleeping peacefully on the bed. Derek couldn't wipe the smile off his face. She did wait! Well… technically she waited but obviously got too tired and decided to sleep in his trailer, but Derek didn't care, as long as she was there instead of running in the opposite direction. He silently laid down next to Meredith and gently stroked her cheek causing her to wake up slowly. Meredith smiled when she opened her eyes and saw Derek.
"Hey," said Derek.
"Hey," Meredith replied sleepily.
Derek grabbed Meredith's hand and brought it nearer to his chest. They laced their fingers together and stared deeply into each other's eyes.
"Meredith, this time I picked you, I chose you, and I will always love you." Derek said with the dreamiest smile ever.
At this moment Meredith's heart melted. She would never give up on this relationship again. She snuggled in closer to Derek and they shared a passionate kiss.
"Derek, I will always love you too." It was different the way she said I love you to Derek this time. This time she was confident and she really meant it, 100%. She didn't want to run or freak out. Meredith was whole and healed, just like she said, and Derek could see that.
They didn't do what they wanted to do when they kissed on the land with the candles. Everything had worked out the way they wanted it to, and at that moment, all they wanted was to just be in each other's arms.
