3rd Persons POV:

You know, the funny thing about life is that bad things happen every day. 

People die. 

People go missing.

People are murdered...

Bailey is in the ambulance bay, George is at the crash scene, Alex is with Jane Doe, Izzie is with Rick and Meredith is swimming and fighting. She emerges from the water and is trying to surface but she sinks into the water and the water calms as bubbles appear... While laying on the rocks, near Meredith, Carolina lays lifelessly, blood pouring from her abdomen, her lungs fighting for air, her heart trying it's hardest to pump blood around her body, her brain trying to stay alive. She's fighting for her life too... Today is not a good day for Meredith Grey or Carolina Robbins...

Derek's POV:

I'm walking through the trauma scene, checking on everybody, it's quieter now, most people are already at the hospital, I haven't seen Meredith or Carolina in a while though.

"You guys good? You ok? Yeah, what do you got?" I ask the Paramedic.

"Severely severed leg but he's got his artery tied off so...something." He tells me, leaving me confused.

"Yeah, who tied off the artery?" I ask and I look at the coat on the business man and see Meredith's name badge, "Doctor Grey? This is her jacket." I say, hoping for the best right now.

"We found him like this. She must have moved on." He tells me, clearly not as worried as I am.

"Yeah, ok." I look up and see Lisa, the girl Meredith was with earlier, standing there all-alone.

"Doc?" He asks me.

"Yeah. What is it? Just stabilize the fracture and get him to the hospital as soon as possible." I say, making my way over to Lisa, "Hi. You ok? Did a doctor bring you here? Huh, Meredith? Meredith ok?" Lisa shakes her head no... crap. She looks very frightened and is trying to look around for some familiar landmark or person while I'm holding her hand, "What? It's ok. Just think. Where is she? Which way did she go? It's ok. Take your time. Take all the time you need, you're doing great. What is it?" Lisa spots a red cross sign and walks toward it, "Good. "We stop on the dock. Lisa stares out into the water, "Ok, use your words. Where exactly is Meredith?" She points into the water and I look down, terrified... I run down on instinct and jump in, swimming down to pull Meredith out. 

I find her and walk onto the dock with a very blue and very, very lifeless Meredith in my arms. I place her in the ambulance and go to get in but there is a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see a terrified man, shaking,

"H-hi, are you a doctor?" He asks me and I nod. I don't have time to talk, the paramedic is performing CPR on Meredith and I need to be in there to help her. "There's someone else. They fell over there and landed on the rocks near the water..." He mutters and I look around and see another paramedic.

"Hey! You! Yeah come here. Can you go find the person he is talking about please? Thanks." I say and jump in the ambulance.

3rd Persons POV:

When you think about it, like really think about it, you have no idea how you would react if you saw a dead loved one again. Like what do you do? Do you hug them? Do you talk to them? Do you yell at them for leaving you? No. In truth, you'd stand there in shock, not believing the sight before your eyes...

If only Derek knew right then and there how much he would later regret this decision... If he had just heard the man out...

"You know the person?" The paramedic asks James,
