A/N: Short but sweet...it's small so I'll post the next one tonight. I don't want to be unfair. But you have to review!!!


Chapter 9 Part 2: Closure

Meredith didn't even need to walk into the hospital. Derek Shepherd was walking out of it. He looked up. His eyes met Meredith's and they both froze there for a second.

I have got to stop doing this, Derek thought. He tried to avert his eyes and walk away quickly.

"Wait!" he heard her cry.

Derek stopped. He honestly didn't know what to expect. He turned around.

"I'm sorry for last night," Meredith began. "It was partly my fault and I'm sorry for it. Addison gave me this..." She placed the ring in Derek's hand. "I want you to have it. She doesn't want it and neither do I. I get it. You don't know what you want. You're confused. I'm not. I love you, and I will always love you. I think that we were meant to be. But that's just me. I can't wait for you anymore, but I think that if you leave me, I always will. But I've had enough. I have to say stop because I can't go on like this."

"Mer...it's you. It's always been you."

"Are you sure? I don't think you are. No..." He tried to give the ring back. "When you mean it. When you're sure." She left.


Please review! And Happy Grey Day, everyone!!!
