Spend all your time waiting for that second chance.
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
and its hard at the end of the day

Alex stared at the photo in his wallet. Mother and Son. His heart broken. Questions torturing his mind. He holds hope of mending. Frustration and loss over taking him. The broken little boy inside him just wants to run and hide.

I need some distraction, oh beautiful release
Memories seep through my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

Addison and Mark enter Ellis's room. "Mom, this is my wife Addison." he introduces. Addison nods her head. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs Webber."

They sit and Addison keeps hold of Marks hand as he struggles to talk about himself to a woman who should have already known. Memories coursing through his mind of a mother lost and a love no longer known.

In the arms of an angel fly away from here
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here.



Derek held Meredith close. Breathing her in as they swayed. He had no idea how anyone could walk away from someone so special. So unique. Conflicted by his friendship with Ellis and love for Meredith. He hoped that things could be resolved and Meredith's heart could begin to mend.

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at you back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack

Richard watched Ellis battle with her emotions. Marks words had been painful. His stories empty of life. As empty as he felt remembering his unfulfilled promises that mom would be coming home. He was a storm in a tea cup. His emotions were threatening to spill over. He couldn't help wonder if her words were promises, like their wedding vows, or their love and life was all a lie. Did she ever really love him?

It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
Its easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

Meredith pulled back from Derek. Spinning out of his arms she couldn't help but do a pirouette before running back to his arms. "I've lost so much, but you offer so much more." she choked. She pulled his head down to hers and kissed him softly. Her tongued slipping to paint his bottom lip before gaining entry to caress his.



"It's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all." he whispered to her.

"True, but I could never lose you." she whispered.

"I'm glad you paged." he told her as he dipped his head to capture her lips once more.

In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here.

"Did you ever really love me?" Ellis heard him ask.

"More than I could ever admit" she sighed.

Ellis beckoned him to her bedside. He approached hesitantly. She pulled him onto the bed and urged him to lie back on the bed. "Let me hold you." she whispered.

She let him rest his head on her chest.

"Can you hear my heart?" she asked. "It was broken by my own mistakes and fears. But it beats and will continue to beat, only for you."

Richard lifted his head to Ellis's warm words. "Not a lie?"



"No lie" she replied and she lifted her head and kissed him softly.

You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here.

"Alex is you ok?" Izzie asked as she rested her hands on his shoulders.

"I love you Sloan" Addie whispered to Mark as they held each other in the closed confines of his office.

"I won't turn away again" Ellis told Richard as she continued to hold him close.

"I am where I belong." Derek sighed.

"In your arms, everything feels right and my world just stops." she tells him with a smile as again they stand facing the city. Meredith snuggled up close.
