This idea just popped into my mind when I was re-watching Season 4 of Grey's Anatomy (cuz I bought the season :) anyway, this will be a short story and...yeah so enjoy. If you like it, I can continue it if not, then I won't waste my time.
During "Losing My Mind" when Greta dies and they meet Andre, then Meredith walks out of the patient's room crying.
"I'm really sorry for your loss. Excuse me."
Derek left the room as soon as Meredith did. He ran down the hall trying to find her.
He opened every on-call room, every supply closet and still couldn't find her.
Where could she be?
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
He ran so fast to the resident's locker room but stopped in front of the door. He put his ear to the door to hear if anyone was in there. All he heard was crying and knew it had to be Meredith.
He slowly and cautiously opened the door and walked in. Her back was facing him so she didn't see him and got up from the bench to walk to her locker. She sniffled and tried to recollect herself.
"Meredith…"
She turned around surprised.
"What do you want?" she said coldly and turned her back to him, pretending to be getting something in her locker.
"I just… wanted to see if you were okay."
"I'm fine."
"Of course you are." He said sarcastically.
She turned around and got right in his face and said:
"What do you want me to say?! You were right okay! We should have waited! I was wrong! If we waited just a little longer she wouldn't have died without saying goodbye to the love of her life! "
She took a pause to breathe. When she started speaking again, her voice was softer.
"If I wasn't so close-minded that love didn't exist because of what happened to us then I would have waited for him to come, no matter how long it took him I would have waited…So to answer your question honestly no, I am not fine."
Meredith turned around and walked back to her locker to calm down.
It was so quiet that it seemed like eternity before Derek started to speak again.
"That's not fair."
"What?"
"It's not fair. You can't use what happened to us your reason to not believe in love because…"
He stopped.
"Because…" Meredith intervened.
He walked closer to Meredith to clear the distance between them. He whispered in her ear harshly:
"Because I was in love with you then as much as I still am now. What we had was real love. Maybe it wasn't real to you but it is for me. You are the love of my life. Just because I'm with Rose it doesn't mean I'm over you. I'm just trying harder to forget you but you make it so damn impossible… It's not fair that we are the reason you don't believe love exist."
After that was said, they just stared at each other, with Meredith not knowing how to respond and Derek waiting for her to respond was silence.
Review if you like it. Review if you hate it.
