Trying to Breathe
It was raining. It always rained in Seattle, especially at night. The clouds were closing up on the sky and the darkness prevailed everywhere. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there, soaking in the rain. He couldn't see anyone, couldn't hear anything. All he could think of was the deep excruciating pain he felt inside him. He was Derek Shepherd, Head of Neurosurgery department at Seattle Grace Hospital and one of the top surgeons in the country. The same Derek Shepherd who had been the subject of gossip for the past one year due to his so called 'fling' with the 'slutty intern' at the hospital. The same Derek Shepherd about whom no one ever thought that it wasn't a 'fling' with her that he actually fell in love with her, and then completely broke her. And today, the same Derek Shepherd was broken, and he was blinded with pain clenched inside him so intense he felt he couldn't breathe.

Meredith Grey lay in her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She could hear thunders outside and the sound of splattering rain. It hadn't been raining when she had come home, but that was more than three hours ago. Three hours ago, her life had changed. Three hours ago, she had felt she had stopped existing. She couldn't tell how she felt. She wondered whether she felt anything at all, but for the first time in her life, dark and twisted Meredith Grey smiled up at the ceiling even when she felt 'dark and twisty'; she remembered everything, so clearly and now she could see things in her future. Things she hadn't seen before and things that would finally lead her to her happily ever after. The happily ever after she saw with Derek Shepherd.

The airport was swarming with people. It seemed to be the most active hour of the day at the airport. More like the hospital, yet with people smiling rather than crying. The red-haired woman sat at a bench and looked around. She could feel people looking at her, giving her the 'looks'. It didn't matter anymore, nothing mattered anymore. She had fought enough, with life, with herself and with Derek. As Addison Montgomery stood up and started walking up towards the terminal, while wiping her eyes for the final time, she felt she saw the future. She saw the man in front of her whom she had come to love for all his mischief and nuisances. And placing her hands in his, she took a step forward, away from Seattle, away from the gossip, away from the 'slutty intern' and forever away from her ex-husband Derek Shepherd.
