This is my first Grey's Anatomy fanfic so no flame please.

Summary: So what exactly happened to Meredith after she fell in the water?


Meredith felt herself falling in the air until she felt the cold water pound against her falling body. She tried to swim but had no success because she never actually learned how to swim. She just stopped trying and hoped to god that someone would find her.


"Where the hell is Meredith?" Christina asked Derek who was tending a patient.

"I don't know, I saw her about 20 minutes ago with a little girl who was lost," Derek explained putting his patient into the ambulance. Once he got his patient in and settled with the paramedics he asked, "Why, have you seen her?"

"No."

Derek then saw the girl that Meredith was with earlier roaming around looking for someone to go to so he ran over to her.

"Hey, where is the lady you were with earlier?" he asked with Christina close behind her.

The girl didn't say anything but instead grabbed his hand and directed him towards the patient that Meredith had been working on. Derek saw her jacket and pointed it out to Christina.

"What happened to her?" Derek asked the little girl pointing at Meredith's ID card on her jacket.

The girl turned around and pointed towards the water.

"She's in the water?" he asked, really confused.

"He pushed her," she said finally saying something while pointing at the patient.

Derek ran over to the edge of the dock and looked down at the water. He could have sworn that he saw Meredith sinking down into the deepest part of the ocean. He took of his jacket and dived into the water leaving Christina completely oblivious to what was going on as she watched from the dock.

Derek was going deeper and deeper until he finally saw the blue of Meredith's scrubs. He swam faster until he finally was able to grab her and then headed back towards the surface.


Christina saw Derek coming up towards the surface with what looked like Meredith in his arms. When he finally reached the surface it was obvious that it was indeed Meredith and she helped Derek get her out of the water. She took Meredith's pulse once she had also gotten Derek out of the water and found that it was there but was extremely weak and Derek began to do CPR.

"Christina, go get an ambulance," he demanded.

Christina rushed to go get an ambulance leaving Derek with Meredith and the little girl. Finally, after doing CPR for what seemed like ages Meredith spat out water and became conscious with her eyes fluttering open.

"Thank god." Derek said under his breath.

Meredith tried to speak but Derek quieted her because she was to weak to talk at the moment. Soon, Christina came running with a gurney and some paramedics and informed him that they had an ambulance ready to go.


Once in the ambulance, Derek hooked her up to all the machines to see that her pulse was becoming weaker. He looked down to her and saw that the pillow that her head was resting on was extremely bloody. He pointed it out to Christina who started to put pressure on it with a gauze pad.

When they arrived at the hospital they opened the doors to find Burke and the Chief waiting for the ambulance.

"What happened?" asked the chief, helping them get Meredith out of the ambulance.

"She fell into the water, and she must have hit her head on something when she fell." Derek said, rolling her into a trauma room.

"You have to hold on, Mer," Derek almost begged while rolling her into a room. "For me."

At this, Meredith's heart started beating a little faster.


Please review... but no flare please.
