Yay for more chapters! This is super fun to write and see what everyone says so keep the reviews coming! More reviews means more content. :) So lets begin Chapter 4.

Owen's POV:

I had just finished Meredith's initial surgery with Dr. Nelson and I was on my way to update Derek. I couldn't believe that all these bad things kept happening to such good people. The good doctors of this hospital had been through a shooting, a storm, a plane crash, Callie and Arizona's car crash, Meredith almost drowning, and now Meredith was in a car crash as well. No one around here seemed to ever catch a break.

I always hated entering a waiting room to update a loved one who was also a doctor. They always knew when doctors were lying when they tell them that the patient is "ok". They themselves tell that lie all the time. Doctors make the worst patients and the worst loved ones of a patient. This time, it was personal. I considered Derek and I to be friends. We work very closely and it's hard not to become close with the people you've been through so much with.

"Derek," I asked.

As soon as he stood I could see the pain in his face and the redness under his eyes. He had been crying. Typically, us men would make fun of another guy shedding tears, but this, this was different. He was broken because the woman he loved was possibly dying. I felt the same way about Christina. I can't help but think that maybe things would have been different if she'd stayed or she'd wanted kids. I shouldn't have pressured her so much...

My thoughts quickly shot back to Derek. He was the one in real pain right now. He must really love her, to shed tears in the middle of a hospital. Some of us had doubted if they were really meant to be together the past few weeks. They constantly fought about all sorts of things and they even fought in the hospital. It hadn't been looking good for them. Now, Owen had no doubts that Meredith was the one that Derek loved. She was the love of his life.

Derek's POV:

As soon as Owen called my name I snapped out of it and pulled myself together. I had to be strong for Meredith.

"Owen, just tell me. Is she..." I stammered.

"She made it through the surgery. She had extensive injures that we were able to repair. She had a massive brain bleed that Dr. Nelson removed. We won't know her brain function until she wakes up."

I let out a sigh of temporary relief. She was alive. She wasn't dead.

Owen gave me a pat on the shoulder for support. It was good to have the hospital behind me. I had family here. Now I realized why Meredith wanted to stay here and not go to DC. This was home to her.

"Would you like to go see her?" Owen asked.

"Yeah, of course let's go."

(Still Derek's POV)

Owen showed me to the room and I took the nearest chair next to her bed. I can't even remember when Owen left, all I knew was that my beautiful Meredith was hooked up to all these machines and she was bruised and battered.

I grabbed her limp hand and just stared at her. Her face didn't even look like her own. I couldn't help but wonder to myself if her eyes were still her eyes. I loved her eyes. I remember a long time ago someone told me to fall in love with a person's eyes because they were the only thing that never changed. For Meredith, it was easy. I could stare at her eyes for hours and never get tired of it. It was one of the many, many things I loved about her.

I was jolted out of my thoughts when I heard someone enter the room. It was Alex.

"Hey," he said, "nice neck."

"Funny, Karev." I replied as I gave him a half hearted smile.

"I'm sorry about what I did. It was out of line. Hey, why don't you go get some rest and I'll stay with Mer. You look like you need it."

I rubbed my thumb across her hand and brushed hair out of her face with the other. "I don't think you get it, Alex." I whispered. "I did this. It's my fault. I pushed her to go to DC, I broke a promise to her, I fought with her, I said awful things to her, and now... now she's lying in a hospital bed because she ran. She ran from me Alex."

I had finally said the words out loud that had been eating me alive. I constantly thought that this was all my fault. I put her in this position.

"Don't think like that. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That easily could have been any other person in the way of that truck. She was on her way home anyway, even if you guys weren't fighting. Don't blame this on yourself. You don't deserve it. You are one of the few people I trust Meredith with, I'm just won't admit it. She's going to be fine man. She's a fighter. Now go, get some sleep."

I took Alex's words to heart. We would get through this. We always did.

"Thanks Karev," I said as I walked out of the room and found the nearest on call room. Sleep came easily for once. I was so exahusted from everything and I found peace in the fact that Meredith had someone with her that wouldn't hurt her. Things were stable for now.

Alex's POV:

"Meredith, if you can hear me please don't pull anything funny on me. It's just us now. Izzie's gone, George freaking died, and your best friend Christina left now. We're all that's left. I need you to make it because I don't think I could make it without you, let alone Derek. He loves you. It's real Meredith. Don't let it slip away."

Although Meredith didn't respond I could have sworn I saw a rise in her stats. She had to survive. She was Meredith Grey, she's been through so much and survived it all. She would do the same with this.

I sat there in silence for quite a while. The only noise was her shaky breathing and the beeps of the machines. The sound was soothing if you didn't think about why they were making that noise in the first place.

One sound suddenly caught my attention.

"Al- Alex?" she managed to say.

I shot up out of my chair and ran over to her bedside. "Meredith! You're awake. How are you feeling?"

"It hurts. What- what happened?"

"You were driving home and a truck blindsided you. One second, I'll page Owen and Derek." I quickly ran out the door to go find a nurse to page them for me. She was awake!

Derek's POV:

I reached Meredith's room at the same time that Owen did. We both ran in to see for ourselves.

"Meredith! How are you feeling?" I asked as I walked to her bed.

"I'm fine, just a tiny headache." she responded. I watched her face as she looked at Owen. She looked confused.

"Meredith, is everything okay? Why are you looking at Owen like that?" I reached for her hand and was startled as she pulled away.

"Who is Owen? And why are you grabbing my hand? You picked Addison, Derek. You made your choice so stop flirting with me all the time!"

Owen's POV:

I pulled Derek out to the hall and away from the rest of the staff.

"Derek, this could just be side effects of the drugs and surgery. This might not be permanent."

Derek's voice suddenly raised to a level that I didn't hear often. "Owen! She thinks it's 2006 when I was still with Addison! She doesn't remember us getting married or having children or any of it! What if it's not temporary? How do we come back from that?"

His voice carried throughout the hall and everyone could hear. He wasn't trying to conceal it although I knew he wouldn't want his business spread across the hospital.

"Take a walk Derek. Go home, get it together. We will monitor her and do tests tomorrow. We will fix this. Now you need to keep it together for her because if you're a mess then it's only going to get harder. We've got her Derek."

He turned and walked down the hall and disappeared around the corner.

It's getting interesting now! Derek still has to make up for everything. Well that is if Meredith even remembers what happened! I'll update soon again because I'm having fun writing this so leave reviews so I know if this is going the right direction or not!
