A/N: Here it is:)
Meredith opened her eyes to a bright light and white all around her. She looked to her left and saw a table with "Get well soon" balloons on them. To her other side was a doctor in a white coat.
"Where am I? What happened?"
"Well Ms Grey, you collapsed in you house but luckily Mr. Sloan was there and he brought you to the hospital."
Meredith looked in the door of the room and saw Mark standing there with a worried look on his face.
"Mark what were you doing in my house?"
"I was going to surprise you, I bought you your favorite strawberry ice cream."
Meredith sighed. Why did he have to be so nice?
"You didn't happen to call Derek did you? He is probably worried that I haven't been answering his phone calls."
"No, but I will if you want me to."
"That would be nice Mark thank you."
"Meredith, I need to talk to you first. When I saw u fall in your house I was so scared. I can't live without you Mer. You are my McDreamy… hell you're my McSteamy too! When I am with you… I'm alive. … and quite frankly I haven't been living these past few days. So I will wait for you, whenever you are ready to come back to me, I'll be here."
"Mark please stop. You are making it so hard to let go of you. I am so happy with Derek. I love him. I love him so much. I need you to leave me alone."
Tears started forming in Meredith's eyes and when she looked over, Mark was crying as well.
"I'll go get your boyfriend on the phone," he said simply and walked out the room.
Twenty minutes later Derek came rushing in the door.
"Meredith what happened??"
"Well, the doctors just said that my blood sugar level was low so I passed out, but they are doing more tests. Don't worry I'll be fine."
Derek came over and sat on her bed softly playing with her hair and kissing her hand.
"Don't scare me like that again. I don't want to lose you."
"Don't worry, I don't think you are going to lose me anymore."
"Yea… can I ask why Mark was here? And why he was the one to call me?"
"Well… he was in my house when I fainted."
"What!" Derek suddenly stood up and paced around the room. "Why was he in your house Meredith? I have been cheated on once with a woman I loved and I don't want that to happen again."
"Derek settle down. He was just coming over to give me something. We are just friends and you have nothing to worry about."
Derek just stared at Meredith and said, "I need to go for a walk." He stormed out of the hospital, not because he was mad at Meredith, but because he was furious at Mark. And it wasn't because he didn't trust Meredith, but that Mark was a weak spot for her, just like Finn. He didn't want both of them being there around her because she was all his, and he wanted to keep it like that.
Mark slowly drove home, taking the long way around and stopping at the same bar where he met Meredith. He sat down and ordered a drink, thinking of all the memories he had with her. A man sat down next to him and ordered the same thing.
"I see you have good taste in drinks," Mark said jokingly.
"Yea, I could use one right now. The woman I love believes she loves someone else. I know I'm the man for her."
"Wow, sounds just like me." Mark said. "She's actually dating my old best friend. She just dumped me. Meredith was the kind of girl I could see myself growing old with."
"Whoa… Meredith? That's my ex-girlfriends name. Meredith Grey?"
"Yea…"
"I'm Finn, I'm sure you've heard all about me then."
Meredith sat up in her bed thinking about what just happened. She wanted Derek to trust her and she knew she would never hurt him but something about what Mark said hit her hard though. He will wait for me. Her heart ached. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she did have feelings for Mark, and it still scared her because she wasn't sure if it was love. Finn had said those same exact words to her when she decided to leave him just months ago. He had written her e-mails, letters, and now Finn had shown up. Would Mark do the same? Would she constantly have three men following her around and fighting for her throughout her whole life? That was definitely no way to live.
During all of this thinking the nurse came in to check on her.
"You look troubled dear. What's on your mind?"
"Well I have to choose between three men that I love. Derek, who is caring and always there for me, he is my soul mate I just know it. Then Mark who would do anything for me, and he is mysterious which I love about him. Finally there is Finn, who is all the above and my childhood sweetheart. I just don't know what to do and I cant live my life like this.
"Well sweetheart, I have been married for 30 years and I know that it's difficult, but I promise that one day you will realize who you want to spend the rest of your life with and you will never look back."
"Thanks," she said sighing. The nurse started to walk out of the room when Meredith stopped her. "Could you do me a favor and call this number. There is a guy that I need to speak with."
