Author's Note: Hey guys! Please let me clear something up that was said in a review. No offense to the reviewer but I would like to address it. I love MerDer. I cried a lot when Derek died in season 11. I even cried when I saw season 12 at the mention of his name. I love Meredith but I wondered how it would be like if Meredith died instead of Derek. Just a spoiler, I don't even plan on shipping him with anyone in this fanfiction. Anyways, I just needed to clear that up. I promise I won't do that again. Sorry for those who read this story for the story. Review, favorite, and follow away! Back to it then!

Chapter Two

End of the World: Part Two

The world can feel like it is slowing down for a person. It happened to me on that day when Meredith was shot in front of me. The world slowed down as I let him escape. I know people's worlds would slow down if they saw someone they loved get shot in front of them. I began to feel a little dead after seeing that. My world just stopped for a minute. I didn't want to focus on anything else at that moment. I just wanted to save her. I just wanted to save Meredith.

May 20th, 2010

As Gary Clark left Meredith and Derek, Derek began to yell for help. He cried as he yelled for someone to help him. Derek couldn't leave Meredith. He needed to stop her from bleeding out. He just couldn't leave her. "I need help! I need to get her to an OR, immediately!" Derek yelled over and over. Five minutes have passed and Derek decided he need to get her there. He needed to find a gurney or something. Derek looked at his surroundings. Not much was there. There were no gurneys, no bed, no anything that could help him take her to the OR. He needed a miracle. He really needed one.

"Derek?" Derek turned around to see Owen and Teddy with a patient. Owen was the one who spoke. "Owen. I-I need your help. M-Meredith was shot in the abdomen. S-she needs surgery. Please help m-me get her to an OR." Owen looked at Teddy. Teddy nodded. "Help Shepherd. I'll get the patient out." Owen looked at Derek. "Stay calm. I'll bring a gurney so we can take her to the OR. I'll be quick. Stay calm and keep pressure on those wounds." Derek just nodded in agreement. He wasn't going to stop holding pressure. He was still crying as Teddy left with her patient.

"Meredith, if you can hear me. Stay alive. Owen is coming with a gurney to take you to the OR." Derek kissed Meredith's forehead after he said that. He didn't want to see her like this.

Minutes began to pass but for Derek it felt like forever. To Derek, Owen was taking too long. Derek thought of the worse possible reasons on why. He thought maybe Owen was shot and was bleeding out or that he was shot and he was dead on the hospital floor. Derek just kept applying pressure, hoping he was wrong about both the scenarios he thought about. Two more minutes have passed and Owen finally came back. Derek was relieved and looked to see if he brought anyone to help or something to help him stop the bleeding. Owen brought the gurney and went over to Derek. Owen handed him towels to help with the bleeding and gauze to keep the towels in place. Then Owen looked at Derek.

"Okay, once we patch her up we lift her up on the gurney. Okay? Derek, listen to me. It will be quick and we will be quick to get her to an OR." Derek nodded. Owen sighed and quickly began to patch up Meredith. Derek checked Meredith's pulse while Owen was finishing with the gauze. Her heartbeat was good. They needed a cardio-thoracic surgeon but Teddy had left the building. They needed Christina.

"Owen, we need Christina. Page her." Owen looked at Derek. He didn't want to page Christina. He loved her too much to get hurt but he knew that they couldn't do anything. He didn't want to risk Christina's life but Christina would kill him if he didn't page her. Owen nodded and paged Christina to get to OR 2. "Okay. I paged her but we need to be quick. On three, we lift Meredith up and put her on the gurney." Derek just silently agreed. "One, two, three!" The lifted up Meredith and place her on the gurney. They began to rush towards the elevator and choose the OR floor. Derek needed Meredith to live. He just needed her to live. The elevator felt like it took forever for Derek but after a minute, they made it. They raced over to OR 2. Christina and Avery were scrubbing in but she immediately stopped as she saw Meredith was the patient.

Owen didn't tell Christina it was Meredith who they were operating on. Christina felt the way she did when Meredith almost drowned. Scared. Christina knew she needed to help her best friend live. She needed too. Jackson looked over at Christina. "Christina? Christina, we need to hurry." Christina, once she finally heard Jackson, continued to do what she was doing when Owen and Derek came in to scrub in. Christina looked over at Derek when Owen began to speak. "You are not operating, Shepherd."

Derek looked over at Owen. He felt like he was going to scream. "No. You have to let me..." "No, Owen's right. You can't operate. You're shaking. I know you love Meredith will all your heart but stay here. We made Kepner go run for blood. She'll be right back and stay with you. She's broken up about the shooting too." Christina said, quickly and seriously. She was right. Derek was almost broken down like April. None of them wanted Derek to go in and watch them operate on Meredith. No one did. Derek was about to argue with them. He had to right to be with his wife. He wanted to be there with her. Before he could, April rush in with blood for Meredith.

"I was able to get the blood. Um... I saw Lexie. She was getting blood too. I was going to ask her for some help but she left with some blood before..." April stopped speaking and saw Meredith on the operating table. "Oh my God." She was about to drop the container with the blood in it but Derek grabbed it before she could. Christina, Owen, and Jackson went in. Derek brought the blood in but went back to April since they threw him out. Derek sat down next to April. April was freaking out again but not like when the shooter almost shot her. "Oh my God... Meredith... I-is she.. um.. Oh God." Derek didn't pay attention to April. He kept thinking about Meredith.

The memory of Meredith getting shot kept playing in his head. Every time he thought about it, he cried even more. They began to operate on Meredith. Owen was trying to extract the bullets from Meredith's abdomen with Jackson and Christina's help. Once they get out the bullets, Christina would work on Meredith's heart. They worked as fast as they could not noticing Gary Clark coming in the room. He pointed the gun at Christina's head. "Stop operating on her. Let. Her. Die." Christina didn't stop. She kept on going. She was determined not to let her best friend die. Jackson was helping but Owen was trying to stop Gary Clark. It was at the moment, Derek got up to see and April couldn't stop him. They both saw Gary Clark pointing the gun at Christina's head. Christina was crying. "Owen." She kept saying his name.

"That person who you are pointing at with your gun is the woman I love. I swear, if you shot her I will kill you. I will kill you!" Owen yelled. Derek came in and Gary Clark pointed at Derek for a second but then back at Christina. "Let her die. Make Dr. Shepherd feel the pain I felt when I lost my wife. An eye for an eye." Derek looked at Gary Clark. "Mr. Clark... p-please. P-put the gun down... Kill me. You don't need to anyone. Just... let them operate and kill me." Derek pleaded with him. Gary Clark shook his head no.

"No. You will experience the pain I felt. Now, stop operating!" Owen tried move towards Christina but got shot in the shoulder. "OWEN!" Christina yelled. Jackson knew Gary Clark meant business after he shot Owen. He looked at Gary Clark and then to Derek. Jackson hated that he was going to do this but he had no choice. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry but he will kill us." Jackson stopped helping Christina control the bleeding. "Jackson! We need to control the bleeding! Jackson!" Christina screamed. She couldn't do anything to stop the bleeding. Meredith's heart stopped beating. She flatlined. When Derek heard the flatline. He fell to his knees. The world slowed down and stopped for him. Tears fell from his eyes as the flatline of Meredith's heart was heard.

Gary Clark nodded and backed away from Christina. He left the room. Christina cried out. "No! No!" Derek didn't move. His world died along with Meredith. She was his world. Christina was freaking out. Her boyfriend was shot and her best friend died. What was she supposed to do? Jackson went over to help Owen with his gunshot wound. April came in and saw the flatline. "Oh God." Meredith Grey was dead.

An hour passed when authorities finally found Gary Clark. They found him with Dr. Webber. Dr. Webber wasn't injured but Gary Clark had killed himself. The authorities began asking Dr. Webber questions about what happened while others went to gather the rest of the hospital. They finally made it to OR 2. Derek was still on his knees, not moving. Jackson was sitting next to April while Christina wept onto Owen's shoulder. The authorities asked if everybody was alright. Everyone responded but Derek. That's when one cop went over to him. "Sir, are you alright?" Derek just looked over at the operating table. He was silent and Jackson answered for Derek. "Dr. Shepherd isn't injured... He... um..." Jackson went on to explain why Derek wasn't answering. Derek just stayed still looking at the operating table. His world broke.
