Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy, for if I did I would have Jeffery Dean Morgan tied up in my closet and Shonda Rhimes on speed dial. I also do not own any of the songs that I am using. They belong to their respective owners.

A/N: This is going to be a series of song fic's that take place after Losing My Religion. I'm not sure if I am going to let Meredith stay with Finn or go back to the person that in my opinion she belongs with.

X Chapter One – Strong Enough X

"Choices, they are what defines us. They are something we have to own up to because in the end we are the ones that are controlling our destines. Some times they lead us somewhere we never excepted them to take us, and sometimes they lead us to where we have always belonged."

Meredith stood, frozen between the two men. Time slowed to a halt as they both said her name. In her heart she knew exactly who she was suppose to be with but his eyes and the tilt of his head made her question all the progress she had made since he broke her and her heart.

"Meredith" Finn said with a look of concern in his eyes. "Finn please take me home" she said giving Derek her most stubborn look. Finn took her by the hand and led her to the car. He opened the door for her and she slid in to the car with out a word", tears falling down her cheek.

God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?

"Meredith are you going to tell me what that was about or should I assume the worst." She took a deep breath and continued to stare out the window. "Finn, I think I am to scary and damaged to ever be loved again." "That's not true, Meredith." He said taking her hand. She let him hold on to her but she knew that she had to be honest with him. It was only fair.

Nothing's true and nothing's right
so let me be alone tonight
Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?

"Finn I slept with Derek tonight, and I don't know why when he has done nothing but hurt me. You deserve someone so much better." She stopped and retracted her hand from his, as she began to sob. Finn was silent for a moment before finally speaking. "Meredith look at me. You have made mistakes and I won't lie to you and say that I'm not disappointed, but I think that you need someone who will love you unconditionally and I would like to be that man. It wont be easy but if your willing to make and honest attempt I will be her for you." He reached over and stroked Meredith's tear stained face. "Please don't leave me"

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

She didn't know if this was what she really wanted but she was willing to give it a try. She just hopped that he could with stand all the ups and downs that came with her life.

I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?

When I've shown you that I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Will you be MAN ENOUGH to be my man?

Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave

Finn took her home and walked her to her door. "Were going to take this day by day and maybe someday we can get past all the trama." She kissed him lightly on the cheek before going into the house to deal with the other person who needed her now.
