I don't own grey's. I wanted to try something dramatic for a change so here it is. I'm coming off a LONG LONG break due to writers block and hope this story actually takes off. Please R&R. Hopefully this will help me out!
Epilogue
She stood staring into the Seattle Sky, letting the rain fall on her face to accompany the falling tears. Everything around her was spinning. Her world had been turned upside down within a matter of weeks. Now, no one's saying Meredith ever had it easy. With the abandonment issues, the mommy issues, the daddy issues, the tequila issues, well, let's just say, Meredith has issues. Lots and lots of issues. But this, this made her snap. She had been holding on by a thread for so long, and finally, the thread broke. She was spiraling out of control and she knew it. Instead of running to Joe's, she stopped right outside the doors of SGH and let the rain fall down on her. She hoped it would cleanse her. Wash her free from all the pain and suffering she had endured. Prayed for a fresh start. God knows, she needed it.
She opened her eyes and was suddenly filled with a clarity she didn't recognize. Her mind was freed of her problems, the death of her mother, the death of Susan, the rejection of Thatcher...the love of Derek. She took a deep breath and smiled, finally understanding what it was she had to do. She couldn't drink away her problems, she couldn't run to Derek in hopes that he would fix her again. No. This time, she had to do something for herself. She had to release herself from her own guilt and pain. She had to leave. Leave her life in Seattle, leave her friends, leave Derek, and start over.
