"Two for One"
'I'm in love with you… You have a decision to make, Meredith. And I don't want to rush you to make a choice before you're ready. Because when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.'
He hadn't said those words; she was asleep and she was dreaming. She had dreamed he said those words. A dream. That's all it was. All it is. A dream.
Meredith concentrated on breathing. In. Out. Inhale. Exhale. When her heart rate returned to normal and her pulse slowed and she was certain she was breathing normally, she buried her face in her hands.
How was she supposed to make a decision like this? Finn or Derek? The man she could love or the man she had loved?
Derek. After all, he'd said he loved her.
She leaned towards the doctor but Finn's words wobbled her back to the vet.
'Derek's bad for you. Me, I'm good for you. I'm a good thing, Meredith.'
Finn was the guy that brought your roommate lunch because she felt bad. He was that guy. You couldn't just dump that guy.
But you couldn't just dump Mcdreamy, either. Especially a McDreamy that loves you.
Oh, why did decisions have to be so hard? She had a decision and she didn't know how to chose. There was no easy way, not one that could see.
Meredith straightened and raised her head out of her hands. There might be one way, one way she could avoid broken hearts for a little longer, avoid making such a decision…
She could just date them both.
