M.A.G.I.C siblings

Eight

I apologize for this chapter you are about to read😚

"Oh Der" I said standing in the entrance of his hospital room.

"Mer I've missed you" he said. Seeing him hooked up to an oxygen mask. IVs in his arms. It broke me.

"I've um missed you too" I went and sat beside him on his bed.

"Before anything else heres this. A box full of letters, birthday cards, and video tapes that are labeled so you know when to see them"

I held the cardboard box in my hands looking down at everything.

"These are a lot of letters do you hands hurt?" I said putting the box on a chair and sitting back on his bed.

"I had a little help from the nurse"
"Oh get that bag in the corner over there and open it that's your birthday present"

I got up and grabbed the bag. Opening it I saw a small rectangle box inside. I opened the box and saw a gold bar necklace engraved with the letters 'M+D' along with a silver ring which was engraved with the date '8-9-1996'... The day we met.

"Oh my I love these Derek!"

"Here let me help you put the necklace on"

I walked towards him, handed him the necklace and I turned around so he can clasped the back. I slipped on the ring admiring such an amazing gift. We both had huge smiles on our faces.

"Derek you look tired we're going to cuddle and take a nap okay?" He nodded and I laid next to him wrapping my arms around him while he laid he head on my chest. 

"Mer I'm scared"

"It's okay don't worry"

"No Mer I'm scared if I go to sleep I won't wake up. I won't wake up and I won't be able to see you anymore. Meredith I'm horrified to leave you in this cruel world by yourself. You already lost your mom and so have the kids. I don't want you guys to go through another death." He sobbed into my chest

" I know der I know. This won't be easy on anyone. This place won't feel like home without you."

"Mer If I don't wake up can you promise me that you won't let yourself fall into a deep hole please?" He said looking into my eyes.

"Derek.. that's going to be hard you've been my best friend forever I can't imagine my life without you. You have anyways been there for me. You protected me all these years. All the bruises I would come home with from the kids at school but you kissed them better. You were there when my parents treated me like shit. You were there to help me with the kids when I was struggling. Derek I can't promise I won't fall into a hole but I'll try"  I said now looking up at the ceiling trying to suppress my sobs from leaving my body and I held onto Derek tighter.

"I love you" he blurted out

"W-what"

"I said I love you I've always have but recently it's been more than love yes you're just my best friend but Meredith I love you more than a friend"

"I- I love you too"

He smiled and leaned up to kiss me.

He.

Kissed.

Me.

The most wonderful kiss ever. He pulled back and we both smiled. He laid his head onto my chest again as I ran my finger through his dark curly hair.

He's dying.

"Damnit"

"What's wrong"

"Nothing it's just.. you confessed your love towards me but... you're dying Derek. I love you and your dying"

"I know I'm sorry I should've told you"

"No it's okay just... let's just lay here until time comes deal?"

"Deal"

We ended up falling asleep in love and scared. We woke up the next morning to some interns doing some rounds. After they left we stayed in bed watching tv.

"Mer I signed a DNR"

"Oh..."

"It's going to be okay I can't feel anymore pain the pain it's... gone"

"No Derek please you still have 3 days!" I said holding him tight but not to tight.

"Im sorry I just I think it's time" he said wiping my tears which I didn't know I had.

"Okay... you go okay we'll be okay" I accepted that fact that he would be gone in a little bit.

"Cuddle closer" and I did I cuddle closer to my best friend? Boyfriend? I don't know what our status is.

"I love you Derek"

"I love you Meredith you'll be safe"

"I'll be safe."

"Goodbye Mer I'll see you someday"

"Goodbye Der" I said kissing his lips one more time.

He closed his eyes.

I laid my head on his heart.

It slowed down.

His weak lungs took there last breath .

His heart took its last beat.

I heard the monitors flatline and knew he was gone. I saw the nurses come in and turn them off then walk off but I didn't move.

He had 3 days left and now he's gone. Safer. Better. Happier.

Holding his still warm body felt safe. I was hugging my best friend.

Correction... Dead.. Best friend.

Authors note: This chapter was going to be different but I totally forgot what I was going to write. (Chapter I had in mind was still going to end with Derek being dead lol)

Also Derek's family are irrelevant in this story👍🏼
