Meredith's room

"Meredith? Meredith? Do you know who I am?" Cristina yelled trying to see if her best friend was still in there.

"Cristina! There you are! Where have you been? Derek is driving me insane! He keeps speeding and then ending up in jail and I have to go bail him out. I don't know what to do!"

She couldn't believe her eyes….her person, her best friend was gone.

"Meredith….Derek is dead, he died."

"What are you talking about I just saw him a few hours ago! Hey, do you know why I'm in a hospital bed? Did I get hurt or something?"

"Yeah no you have stay here. Okay? You got to do this for me. You're my person you can't die okay?"

"Okay. What is problem? You're acting really weird!"

"Sorry, I'm just tired you know from being a resident and all. Move over"

As Meredith moved over, Cristina climbed into the bed and hugged Meredith. As she sat there Owen opened the door.

"Cristina can I talk to you please? It's important" Owen pleaded. He had to explain. She had stormed out of the room after they had told her and he didn't have a chance to explain.

"Owen please go away. I don't want to talk to you."

"What's going on Cristina? What did he do?"

"Please Cristina just hear me out!"

"OWEN GO AWAY!" Cristina was done with him. She still couldn't believe he hadn't told her. He hadn't had the decency to call her and tell her that her best friend was dying.

"Cristina just go talk to him. He's your husband! You have to talk to him!"

"Okay outside. Owen now!" Cristina stormed out of the room.

"What the hell do you want with me? Just leave me the hell the alone. Okay? It's obvious you don't care about me anymore and you know what I don't care because I don't need you. My life is amazing without you. But the fact that you didn't tell me that my best friend, my person has Alzheimer's and is going to die very soon, is unacceptable. So I have nothing else to tell you. I love you and I will always love you but I am done with you." She would not forgive him for this. Not today.

"Wait, Dr. Yang! It wasn't Owen's fault, it was mine. I am her main doctor and I was the one who decided not to tell you. I am sorry for that." Amelia knew she had to explain. She wouldn't let Owen take the blame.

"Amelia, please just go. I'm handling this okay?" Owen took her hand and tried to guide her toward the elevator.

"You're sorry? You're sorry? Well that's great, everything is okay now! Now that you've said sorry everything will be okay. You know I won't get to help my friend through an incurable disease, I won't get to spend any time with my friend before she stopped being herself because you decided to take it upon yourself to decide who should know about Meredith's condition. It is not okay! What about Zola, Bailey and Ellis who is taking care of them? Because I'm pretty sure I am still listed as a guardian!"

"We…Amelia and I are taking care of the kids. Amelia is their legal guardian." Owen said quietly.

She looked down at Amelia's hand, she had on an engagement ring and she was holding Owen's hand. It all made sense now.

"Oh that's just great! Really happy for you guys and now you get the family you always wanted. The one that tore us apart. So happy for you even though it means that my friend is going to die for it! Take care now Owen, take care now!" She stormed out. She had to hide, she had to get away. The first room she could find was a supply closet. Cristina shut the door and went to back of the room. She couldn't keep it in any longer. The tears started to flow and she couldn't stop it. Her sobs grew louder and louder.

As she continued to cry in the dark, the door opened. Callie walked in looking down at a chart.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know—wait Cristina is that you? Are you okay?"

"Yeah Callie. I'm fine don't worry about it," she said wiping away her tears.

"Cristina, I lived with you for 2 years, I know when you're lying to me. What's going on? Is it Meredith?"

She had to tell someone. She had to say what she had been feeling for the past 8 years.

"My job is amazing. I love my job. Every day I wake up and I still can't believe that I am running a high tech hospital and that I get to go to work every day and print human hearts. I mean it is incredible and I absolutely the work I am doing. But you know when I got there I had this feeling. I felt like there was part of me that was missing and I thought that it must just be me missing Seattle and that it would pass. I kept telling myself that it would pass for eight years. But it never did. You know I always thought that if I just had my dream job, I would be fine. I would have all I need but there is still something missing. The two people I consider my family are Meredith and Owen. And now, one of them is sick and doesn't remember her kids or her life from the past 10 years. She's going to die and I didn't get the chance to say good bye to the real Meredith, to the person I called my best friend. And the other person who I call my family, is now getting married and he now has a family with Mere's kids. He is the love of my life! Being without him and letting him go is the hardest thing I have ever done. So now what am I supposed to do? I will never another person like Meredith, I will never fall in love with anyone else. I am all alone and I don't know what I am supposed to do."

"Cristina, you are not alone. You have me and everyone else at this hospital. Meredith didn't want to tell you because she didn't want you to come rushing to her side because when she was diagnosed it wasn't a problem. But Amelia should have told you but she didn't think she had to and she didn't know how close you guys were. I also think she didn't want you to come back and take Owen. We all know that no matter how much he pretends to be over you, he isn't. You are the love of his life and he may seem happy with Amelia but as long as you still exist he will never be completely whole. So you need to snap out of this. You are Cristina Yang, a bad ass cardio thoracic surgeon, who saves people with ground breaking surgeries and who freaking runs her own research institute. So you are going to stop crying and go out there and start getting ready to run 6 more hospitals!" Callie knew she needed some tough love.

"You're right. I am bad ass and I am not gonna let Owen and his stupid fiancée ruin that!"
