AN: Hi everyone! This is my first fic. I'm a huge ADDEK fan and boy do I wish they end up together. But since Shonda's breaking my heart by keeping them apart, I decided to write my own fics to satisfy my cravings for Addek. Since this is my first, I was hoping you could review and give me some tips. This is my first attempt at writing things outside required school essays so bear with me. Thank you! :)


If eleven years ago, someone told her she'd be alone at a crossroad, confused and without Derek by her side, she would have laughed and scoffed it off as some crazy statement by a jealous person. She and Derek had had everything then, and she thought she never had to worry about them ever being without each other. However, today, in the middle of a city that never stops raining, Addison Montgomery laughs at the irony of the situation as she finds herself at a crossroad, indeed alone and without a husband to speak off.

Addison sat the middle of her hotel room, contemplating how she ended up being the most punished woman on the face of the planet. Her life went from okay, to absolutely magical, to devastating, to depressing. She was not one to wallow in self-pity. But with the most recent turn of events in her life, she found herself unable to resist the call of weakness, of helplessness. She was tired of being strong.

She reached her arms out for the piece of paper that was sure to change her life. She was debating if that said piece of paper was the best or the worst thing that could happen to her after divorcing Derek—her test results. It read:

Second stage Ovarian Epithelial Carcinoma

Ovarian cancer.

Addison Forbes Montgomery was dying.


So what do you guys think? Please tell me if I have a future. Hahaha. Thanks! :)
