"Come on Meredith, I'll take you home." Finn says coldly, while walking past her.. Something seems to be bothering him but Meredith doesn't notice. She's rooted to the spot. Finn turns around and notices that she hasn't followed. He's looking at her, who's looking at Derek. He looks between them.It's the "pick me", "Choose me", "love me", scenario all over again. Only this time, it's all up to Meredith. You'd think she'd know who to choose, but she's confused. She could choose Finn, who she could potentially love, who has Plans, who cares about her. Or she can run into the arms of the man she thought she was going to spend the rest of her life with. The one, not ten minutes ago, asked Her what they were.
Only, she doesn't know completely, what that meant. She doesn't know that if, she chooses him right now, he'd leave Addison. I mean, it's clear to her now, that he loves her more then anything. But what the real questions is this, Is it enough?
Meredith is still standing there. She's glued to the spot, spaced out, like she's not even standing there in the awkward silence that has now fogged over the three of them. All she has is her thoughts. Images of the times before Addison float into her mind. She smiles to herself a little.
"Meredith?" It's Finn again. Derek is to rapped up in is own thoughts of Meredith right now to even think about speaking. He looks at her though, she doesn't even answer Finn. She's just standing there.
Derek is a little scared. He's terrified she'll pick Finn over him. He's afraid of what it will do to him. That he will sulk for the rest of his life knowing he was dumb enough to let her slip from his loving grasp the first time, and then let it all happen again. He knows that if she picks Finn, Addison will leave him, because the major loss would show on his face, his actions. He's afraid he will be alone forever. He can't see himself with anyone else. He can't see himself meeting anyone else like Meredith.
She remembers everything. And thinking about everything makes her think about how much he hurt her. Butchered her heart. Left it in the tiniest pieces she felt she'd never be able to put it back together. She knows he's sorry, she knows it's killing him to see her like this. And she knows, it's killing him not to be with her. To be going home to his wife he doesn't love.
She thinks back to what Finn said. About how he could never plan anything out since his wife died. That now, he's looked at her, Meredith, and he has plans. That's saying something. Meredith knows he would never lie to her like Derek did, she knows he will never hurt or cause her deep emotional wounds. She knows all this, but she can't shake the image she has in her head. The one that makes her break out into a smile even on her worse days. She doesn't think she could live with herself if she chose wrong.
Meredith blinks, as if she hasn't for the past ten minutes. She looks at both men for a minute or so, studying their faces, actions, trying to see the raw emotion of both of them equally. Finn looks at her, he doesn't know what to say. Derek lets out a long slow sly, as if he's been holding it in for a long time. He stares at her but looks away when Finn glares at him angrily. Finn didn't know thehistory these two have had, but gudging by the looks and awkwardness, he knows.
Meredith, turns a little, ungluing her high heels from the hospital floor; she turns in Derek's direction. She finally opens her mouth, shattering the silence,
"It's Enough."
That's it. I seriously think there is no other possible scenario for her. I defiantly think she will choose her McDreamy. You have to play it all out in your head like I did. Well, I hope you liked this OneShot. Please review.
