Author's Note: So here's chapter 2 already. It's just that I've got a day off and I'm really bored, so I write. Don't get used to this regular updating. Because I really suck at that. Anyway, I hope I don't let you down with this chapter, even though I think there's something missing...
"Cristina?" Meredith asked as she entered an empty apartment.
"I'm in the bedroom." A voice said.
Meredith dropped her luggage in a corner and went to the bedroom. Cristina was also busy packing. She'd already filled a suitcase and she was now busy packing the second one.
"How much clothes do you think you'll need, Cris? It's the Bahamas; I don't want to do much more than lying on a beach…" Meredith said.
"You don't want to find some other man candy?"
"Cristina!"
"I was only joking, Mer. I know you and McDreamy'll get back together as soon as we've arrived back at the hospital."
"I don't think so." Meredith muttered.
The next morning the two grabbed a cab to the airport and after about six hours they landed on the Bahamas. They grabbed a cab to the hotel.
"Wow, this is fancy!" Meredith said as they arrived at the hotel.
"What did you expect? Did you really expect me and Burke living in a hotel with cockroaches?"
"Well, you're bitter today. I don't know about you, but as soon as we've unpacked, I'm going to the beach."
"Sure."
They unpacked their suitcases and put some things in a small bag, so that they could take it to the beach. Then they put their bikinis on and went to look for an empty spot on the crowded beach, even though it was in the late afternoon.
A couple of hours later, they decided to go back to the hotel to grab something to eat.
"Cris, do you really think I've made a mistake?" Meredith suddenly asked.
"Yeah, I do." Cristina answered. "I really don't get you. When you're not together you're pining for him, and when you are together, you're looking for a way to get rid of him."
"Cristina…" Meredith started, but was interrupted by Cristina.
"No, Meredith. I wasn't ready yet. You don't have unlimited chances to have the things you want. You can't keep doing this, because one day, he won't want you back anymore, even though he loves you more than anyone in the whole wide world. And that day you'll come to me to whine about Derek. Do you really think I look forward to that? Seriously?"
"Cristina, everyone keeps leaving me." Meredith started to get emotional. "He'll do too, eventually."
"Meredith, that's bullshit, you know that."
"He's done it before, why wouldn't he do it again?"
"Well, unless he's got another secret adulterous wife that screwed another McSteamy somewhere, I'm sure he won't leave you. He's madly in love with you Meredith, don't you see? I saw him when you were experiencing your near-death experience Meredith, and really… it was so obvious. And you should've seen Addison. I guess for the very first time she realised that her marriage to Derek was nothing compared to what you were having with Derek."
"Really?"
"Really. But now you've broken up. How do you think you'll make it up this time? I don't think we'll be having a prom anytime soon."
"He wanted me to break up Cristina. If I thought there was no future for us."
"So? Just because Burke left me standing at the altar doesn't mean you can't be with Derek. I told you that before. You're not me and Derek's not Burke. You want my opinion?"
"Well, I guess you've made your point already. But I'm not sure Cris. It's hard. It's not just that I'm afraid he's going to leave me. He's also very suffocating. He's always there, even when I need time alone."
"And my guess is you haven't talked to him about this. You're starting to act weird because you're suffocating and Derek thinks you see no future for the two of you."
"I've been really stupid haven't I?"
"I'd say so, yes. But you're not the only one Mer. I've made some big mistakes too. Going out of my ways to make Burke happy. I can't believe that I really did that."
"We're just two surgeons with brains that have the size of a peanut. I can't believe we actually passed the intern exams."
"Yeah."
