Carrie Underwood- I told you so

Suppose I called you up tonight

and told you that I loved

and suppose I said I want to come back home

and suppose I cried and said I finally learned my lesson

and I'm tired of spending all my time alone

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted

And it's killing me to be so far away

Would you tell me that you love me too

And would we cry together

Or would you simply laugh at me and say...

"Izzy everything is finished. The invitations are in the mail. My dress fits perfectly don't you think it's time to breathe?" Meredith looked at her long time friend. She couldn't stop laughing knowing that she shouldn't be so calm. That in all truths she should be the one sweating all the small details.

"I just want your wedding to be perfect. You deserve the best Meredith" Izzy remembered the days when Meredith's life was anything but perfect. Those were the days that Meredith locked herself in the bathroom crying for hours. She didn't think that she would ever recover from the heartache that he caused her. Then one day she came out of the bathroom. She was dressed and finally ready to go back to work.

"Finn makes me happy. If the wedding isn't perfect it doesn't matter. I have him for the rest of my life" Meredith couldn't wait to say her vows. She wanted to make Finn as happy as he made her.

"How's it going ladies?" Finn walked into the kitchen placing a kiss on top of Meredith's forehead.

"We just sent out the final invitations" Meredith gleamed.

"I think that you should go out with Christina tonight. Kick off your shoes and have some fun. Remember we have a big honeymoon planed. It could be a month before you see your friends." Finn knew that her friends were her family. They had stuck by her when everyone else turned their backs.

"That sounds nice" she stood up and kissed her future husband.

"Four weeks and you will be mine forever" Finn could never get tired of telling her that.

"I need to get changed. What time are you leaving for your office?"

"I have to leave now. Call me later" Finn gave her another kiss before heading out the door.

When Finn left Meredith turned to Izzy. "So are you finally ready to calm down?" she asked.

"I don't know Mer. I have this feeling like something is missing. Are you sure you are ready to marry this guy?"

"Of course I am ready. Izzy why are you asking?"

"I just want to make sure. I just don't want you to rush into this marriage. Not if your eyes are closed"

"My eyes are wide open. I have never doubted my decision to marry this man. It's time that Meredith Grey tied the knot." she wanted to believe every word that she was saying. Unfortunately she was trying to convince herself as well as Izzy.

"Okay then are we forgetting anything?"

"Do you want me to check the list again?"

"Please"

"Fine" Meredith went back over the list that Izzy created.

"Is everything checked off?"

"Yes mother everything is checked. We are ready for the wedding"

Izzy took a deep breath. "Okay"

"Thanks for all of your help Izzy"

"That's what friends are for"

"You are more than a friend. You are my family"

"You are my family also Meredith. Okay I have to get to the hospital. Enjoy your day off Meredith" Izzy smiled as she picked up the last invitation.

"Okay see you tonight"

Meredith walked upstairs and grabbed her clothes from the draw. She felt something fall at her feet. When she picked it up she came face to face with the only eyes that were ever able to stare into her soul. The man that she loved stared back at her. They were so happy together. Though he promised her a lifetime he vanished in a blink of an eye. She wanted to throw the picture in the garbage. To get rid of any sign that he ever existed in her life. She couldn't throw it away not when it was the only piece of him she had left. She gently tucked it away under her clothes and shut the draw. The past was over it was time to move into the future. It was time to marry Finn Dodridge and make his life happy.

I told you so, Oh I told you so

I told you some day you would come crawling back

And asking me to take you in

I told you so, but you had to go

Now I've found somebody new

And you will never break my heart in two again
