I don't own Grey's anatomy

A/N so honestly I have no clue where this story is going but I really love Merluca and I'm hoping she chooses him over Link.

Staring up at the ceiling Meredith Grey thought about her life, she thought about the joys, the hurt, the good, the bad and everything in between. The darkness enveloped her as she let the tears slide down her face for all she'd lost. Her mother, George, Lexie, Derek her father. All lost to her and she had closed her heart off so tight and vowed never to love again. She couldn't handle that pain.

Then he'd came along. He'd been on the outskirts of her life for years, yet she'd never seen him like that. He had never been that guy. The one she thought would break down all the barrier's around her heart. Yet here she laid. In the dark crying for all she lost as she thought of the man who was wearing down those walls.

She knew everyone was saying she should date again. She'd tried with Riggs but then their was Megan and she wasn't going to mess with that. Derek was her one true love she had said those very words yet… maybe just maybe she could give love another chance.

She knew Link was the safe choice. She knew she could fall into his charming arms. So good with kids, so nice, pleasant she could be okay, happy even but he'd never break her heart. He was the easy choice.

Then their was Andrew Deluca. Someone who got her heart pounding, her breath gasping. Her thoughts swirling and her hopes high. High that maybe just maybe she could fall again, but was the pain worth it?

She thought of the story he'd told her well in that elevator. About his father and crimes he'd committed. She knew what it was like to have a famous parent, to ruin from their giant shadow and their mistakes and fame. Andrew was part of that club with her and Jackson, although Jackson wasn't aware of that.

There was one thing Meredith Grey knew as she laid in that bed. Andrew Deluca could break her heart. Shatter it into a million pieces and she thought she just might let him.

Andrew didn't know what he was doing. Why he was chasing Meredith Grey she seemed to want Dr Lincoln and could he really blame her. The other doctor was everything he wasn't. suave. Charming. An attending. Andrew didn't have much to offer. A sorted romantic past and a checkered childhood. Why would anyone like world renowned Meredith Grey want him.

He figures maybe just maybe he could love her if she gave him the chance. He knew her history or bits and pieces of it. Knew she'd lost her husband. Knew she had found a sister and lost one. Knew she had her own checkered childhood but there was so much more he wanted to know. He wanted to love her. He wanted to kiss her. Only this time he wanted it to be mutual not like that kiss at the wedding.

He wanted her but then again he always seemed to want what he couldn't have and it seemed no matter how much he cared about her he couldn't have Meredith Grey.

two people at a cross roads. Could they jump could they both afford to fall and if they did would it last? Was all this worth it. One knew she was almost willing to try. One was sure he didn't have a chance in hell.

Meredith Grey and Andrew Deluca, they would either be the next Grey-Sloan power couple or they would go up in spectacular flames. And this is there story. Follow as they take the journey. Will it be a happily ever after or a pile of ash. No one especially not them knows the answer to that.

A/N okay so a short chapter to introduce you to the story. Even I don't know where this will go or how much I'll take from the show but had to get it down it was invading my muse.
