A/N: Hey all, this is my first Grey's Fic. It takes place during season two. I'm not sure how much of it will follow the outline from that season yet, it's still a work in progress but, I hope you enjoy!
Summary: Meredith Grey, twenty five, surgical intern. She is in love with a married attending who won't let her move on after he lied to her and caring for her sick mother. On top of that she is handling her friend's below the radar of importance problems, being a surgical intern, and a secret she doesn't plan on telling. When things begin to unravel, she finds herself wondering where the simplicity is.
Prologue:
I try to think of a time when my life was easy and simple.
Most adults would say it's when you're young and your biggest worry was learning one plus one is two. Some say the easy and simple feeling lasts until you're eighteen and have to worry about paying bills. (Of course this excludes the occasional spoiled brat of a very rich family).
Me? My easy and simple feeling lasted for about five years.
It was the period before I was born, before I was left alone with a drunk father while my mother spent all of her time at the hospital doing surgeries or in her office preparing for a surgery.
Before I could even feel.
In this moment in life, I don't know what simple is. I may never know what it means. I'm a surgical resident in love with my married attending who won't let me get over him and taking care of my mother who doesn't want anyone to know that she has Alzheimer's.
People say simple is never having to worry about anything and that easy is never having to question anything. I'm always worrying and I question everything including myself. Where's the easy in that? Where's my simplicity?
A/N: Also, I've yet to officially choose a pairing for Meredith. It is a MerDer and a MerAddie with a Mer/Mark friendship however, I cannot decide who she will end up with at the end. I am a MerDer shipper but, MerAddie seems to be an interesting pair. So with that said, through out the story voice your opinion and the pair with the most opinions will prevail. Basically, VOTE for your favorite pair.
