The One Decision You Will Always Regret
Authors note:
Welcome to my first story. I hope you will like it! As you can see I'm new here as in writing stories. I've read a lot of other fan fictions and have been thinking about writing one self a long time ago. If something goes not planned like how you may see it when you read it, it's because I'm new to this and don't really know how everything works. Well, this was my first authors note and I hope it's not going to be my only one :)
Have a lot of fun reading my story!
Warm regards,
Isabel

Chapter 1: It's not as it seems
It was yet another beautiful summer morning in Seattle. It was 6 AM and the sun was just peeking through the bedroom window. Meredith and Derek were still sound asleep, which is unusual for them since she just became a resident and he as the best neurosurgeon of the country a complicated schedule. Meredith and Derek were still sleeping when Cristina burst into the room.
''Meredith..'' Cristina said, out of breath. ''have you seen the news?''
''What..?'' Meredith said, still half asleep.
''The news… have you seen the news? Don't say you've missed that'' Cristina said.
''What are you talking about Cristina. It's me and Derek's day off and you're waking me up at 6:15 AM to see the news?'' Meredith said, a little bit agitated that Cristina had woken her and Derek up.
''You should've seen it already by now Mer. It's huge'' Cristina said, overly excited about it.
''Cristina, please go away I don't want to have anything to do with it. I'm supposed to spend the day with Derek, and we were planning to go to the trailer'' Meredith said.
''Why? Why this day of all days! We've awesome surgeries to get to. Isn't that what we live for? Come on Mer, get out of bed and go the hospital. I give you 15 minutes to get ready'' Cristina said in a stern voice.
''Cristina, please, I don't want to go to the hospital. I'm tired and I'm going to spend the day with Derek like I said. Nothing can change that. Not even the biggest disaster in history'' Meredith said.
''What's going on with you? You're not Mer'' Cristina said, a bit perplexed.
''What's going on with me is that I'm tired and that I don't want to go, okay? Just leave it Cristina'' Meredith said.
''Whatever'' Cristina said. ''But you're going to miss out on a lot of great, kick-ass surgeries''
''That's fine with me'' Meredith said.
Cristina left the room and a minute later she heard the slamming of a door shut. She was relieved that she didn't have to put up with Cristina anymore than she'd have to. Meredith breathed a sigh of relieve and rolled to face Derek.
''Derek'' Meredith said.
''Mmmmm'' Derek said.
''Is it weird that I don't want to go the hospital for good surgeries?'' Meredith said, deep in thought.
''Why should that be weird'' Derek said. ''You have been working almost every day, you rarely take breaks and if you do, they only last 10 minutes. You're supposed to feel like this after back to back surgeries all month''.
''But I live to be a surgeon.'' I'm supposed to get an adrenaline boost from crashes that huge, even when I'm tired.'' Meredith said.
''Just let it be. We have the day off together and we're going to spend the day well at the trailer. Just the two of us. Without a disturbing Cristina'' He said, a grin on his face.
'' Yeah, you're right. let's get up and take a shower together and then we can go to the trailer'' She said, a genuine smile on her face.
After they'd taken a shower together and ate breakfast, they made their way to his car. They drove in silence to the ferry and had a great view of the early morning sun. It was bound to be a beautiful summer day. Not really hot but just good enough to not bring a bunch of sweaters and jackets to the trailer. They drove to the trailer and when they arrived they saw the sun reflecting on the lake. It gave a magical view to the area.
''Wow it's so beautiful out here. Never saw this place in the summer'' Meredith said.
''It is'' Derek said, amazed by the view himself.
''Come, let's go unpack what little we've packed'' He said, a bit laughing.
When Meredith was busy unpacking, Derek noticed what she had brought along.
''Meredith, do you really need all these things? We're only going to stay here for one night. I only packed one t-shirt, hair products and a toothbrush.''
''But you're a man. Women just need more stuff. Haven't you learned that by now already?'' She said a bit laughing.
'' Cristina doesn't'' He said, obviously brainless.
''Derek'' She said. ''You're really brainless aren't you? you know Cristina. She rarely wears any cloths other than scrubs''
''Still… '' He said.
'' Derek, come on let's go for a hike when it' still sunny and comfortable'' She said excited.
''Okay, but let me check the weather first before we go because you never know what the weather will be the next few hours. It's still Seattle'' He said, in a pretty serious tone.
'' Okay mister grumpy…. Lighten up a bit! Look outside. The weather isn't going to chance over the next couple of hours and we will be back before dark''
'' Before dark!'' He said perplexed.
''Yes, before dark'' She said. I already packed food and water and everything else we need for a long walk in the woods!''
''Meredith… I don't know if this is such a good idea. The wea-
''No'' Meredith interrupted him. ''Please Derek, I really need this. I really need to forget everything that's going on at home and in the hospital and just have a nice day together. Can we do that? Please…''
'' Okay'' He said after a few seconds. ''If it makes you happy, It will make me happy'' He said with a happy, loving smile on his face.
''Thank you Derek'' She said, and kissed him deeply. ''This will make me very, very happy, especially because you're with me''
''Your wish is my command'' He said in his always charming voice and kissed her again and again…
So caught up in each other, they forgot to check the weather channel and left for their hike with just one bag which only contains 2 bottles of water, 4 sandwiches and a cell phone….
