There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make. True commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully.

Chapter 1 - How to Save a Life
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
or he'll say he's not the same
and you'll begin to wonder why you came
Meredith awoke the next morning alone in her bed with the scent of lavender filling her nose. She looked around and realized that lavender surrounded every inch of her room.
Meredith heard someone at the door and figured it was Derek.
"Get your ass back into bed." She said while burying her face into her pillow.
"Ugh, I rather not but I did bring you some coffee." Izzie responded.
"What are you doing here?" Meredith asked confused.
"I live here."
"Where am I?"
"In your house."
"Where's Derek."
"I don't know but he did leave you a note." Izzie motioned to Meredith's nightstand.
Meet me at the ferryboats at 7:00
I signed, its over.
-D
"Izzie I know that this might sound crazy but I remember this happening almost 6 years ago. I had this wonderful life with Derek and we were married."
"It was probably just a dream Mere."
"It felt so real."
"What do you remember about the dream?"
Meredith thought for a few seconds, "That Derek and I were married."
"Anything else?" Izzie asked.
Meredith thought long and hard but nothing else came to mind. " I remember that we were really happy."
"So are you ok?"
"Yea, I'm great."
"You better start getting ready, it's already 6:15."
It was five minutes to 7:00 and Derek Shepherd was patiently waiting at the dock for the ferryboats for Meredith Grey to show up. Soon he saw her small figure coming toward him.
"Hi." Derek said in a hushed tone.
"Hi." Meredith smiled.
"You got my note I guess."
"Yes and all the lavender surrounding my bedroom."
Derek smiled.
"So what's going on?" Meredith asked.
"It's over between Addison and I. I realized last night that if you had died yesterday, I would've spent my entire life resenting Addison because my one true love had died. I would've spent my whole life regretting not choosing you. I thought that things could work out between Addison and I but the fact is that we aren't the same people that we were back in New York. We changed and I'm now the person I've always wanted to be and I found the person I've always dreamt about. So last night I told Addison that I could've stay married to her, knowing that I was in love with someone else."
Meredith remained silent, "I don't know what to say."
"Say that you'll give my another chance."
"I don't know Derek, you really hurt me and I'm almost finished gluing back the pieces. And if you hurt me again, I might never be able to put the pieces back. You gave me so much false hope Derek and I was completely crushed."
"Meredith what are you afraid of?" Derek began yelling.
"I'm afraid that you are going to hurt me again Derek." She yelled back.
"I love you!"
"If you loved me enough you would not have chosen Addison." Meredith yelled back.
He didn't know what to say and Meredith had already said enough, so she walked away and back to her car.
"So you and Derek back together?" Izzie asked when Meredith walked into the house.
"Nope."
"Why?"
"Because my pieces are almost glued back together."
Izzie nodded and watched Meredith go up the stairs to her room. George passed Meredith on the way down.
"Is she ok? And why do I smell lavender?" George asked.
"McDreamy is getting McDivorced."
"Seriously?"
"Yep but Meredith doesn't want to give Derek another chance."
"How long do you thinks that'll last?" George asked.
"I give it a few weeks at the most."
