Hello! This is a MerDer songfic. Post season 3 finale.
The song is Grace by Simon Webbe and it's one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Special thanks go to Scarlett O'Haraa and to my wonderful Beta Freakygirlhere.
Please Read and Review:).
Grace
It's so over… Those words had been repeating themselves in Meredith's head all afternoon.
She couldn't think of other words she regretted more, but she'd already said them and there was no turning back.
But it would be better like this. Not better for her, better for Derek.
It just became too much for her. She loved him so much, that she didn't want him to be as miserable as she was. So she pushed him away.
After Meredith left Christina in her and Burke's apartment, she went home. Exhaustion over took her body and she collapsed on her leather couch.
She cried for hours, until she heard a faint knock on her door.
Reaching out, looking for some way to escape the crowd
You whispered words that I've been searching for
Somehow you answered my call
For reaching out I feel I'm rising up
Meredith opened the door. It was Derek. "Meredith", he whispered. "I know why you did it. I know why you broke up with me. But I just want you to know one thing: the harder you push me away, the harder I'll fight for you. I love you and I don't want to lose you."
You give me grace
In a world that doesn't sleep at all
You give me grace
It's a place I've never been before
You give me grace
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone
Meredith's sight became blurry again. "I don't deserve you. You deserve to be with someone who isn't as damaged as I am."
"I want to be with you. I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake and hold a radio over my head outside your window, way." Derek said.
Meredith smiled when she heard the words that she had said to him just a few months ago.
Suddenly, I'm up on the surface so when I can see
And picture the person who I need to be
And I know, yes I know I can make it
See me now, I'm slowly rising up
She didn't want to be dark and twisty anymore, she wanted to be bright and shiny again.
Being with Derek made her happy. Being with Derek made her bright and shiny.
If he would be there for her, she could do it.
You give me grace
In a world that doesn't sleep at all
You give me grace
It's a place I've never been before
You give me grace
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone
He was the love of her life as well, although she hadn't realized it yet.
He made her feel safe and that was a feeling she hadn't felt in a really long time. Together they would able to do anything.
All they needed was a fresh start, which he was offering her right now.
Well, these are difficult times
These are difficult days
But I know we can face it
Ours are vulnerable lives
In a vulnerable place
Oh you give me grace to say when I got it wrong
The grace, the will to carry on
For reaching out I feel I'm rising up
You give me grace
Now there's nothing I don't fear at all
You give me grace
When I'm on the edge just watch me fall
You give me grace
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone
It was then she realized, that she and Derek would make it.
They wouldn't have an easy life together, but at least they would have each other.
Fin.
