merder mafia leader in love

chapter 19

"Here's what's going to happen.." he says. He stands at a table, opposite me. "First I'm going to kill you.." he says. Tears run down my cheeks. "Then I'm going to send your lifeless body.. to Derek's apartment.. then just as he's at his lowest.. I'm going to kill him" he says. He picks up his gun. "No.. no please" I cry.

I see something in the corner of my eye. Derek's stood behind the counter. He stands up slowly. He signals with his hand for me to duck. I duck to the floor quickly, behind the table. There's loads of gunshots.

I'm crying, hiding under the table. "Hey" Derek kneels infront of me, whispering softly. I wrap my arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder. He picks me up, standing up and holding me close. I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. "Its okay.. you're okay" he hugs me tightly.

Derek's pov:
I'm holding her close as she cries into my shoulder. I look on the floor. The guy is still alive. He's bleeding out onto the floor. He slowly tries to reach for his gun next to him. I grab my gun off the table, shooting him in the heart, killing him instantly. Meredith jumps, squeezing me tighter. She starts crying harder into my shoulder. "Sorry.. I'm sorry" I put the gun down, hugging her tight. "Its okay.. you're okay" I run my fingers through her hair, trying to calm her down. She's shaking, her tears soaking my shirt.

I walk her outside. My drivers still here so I get in the car, her still holding onto me. She snuggles her face in the crease between my neck and shoulder. "Meredith" I whisper "mer honey?" I stroke her back gently. I think she's asleep. I let out a breath, relieved she finally calmed down. We finally arrive at my apartment. "Mm" she moans quietly as I carefully get out of the car, trying not to wake her.

I walk Into my apartment. I gently lower her onto my bed. I carefully pull her arms off of me and stand up. I pull the covers over her. I gently stroke her cheek with my thumb. I kiss her on the forehead. I walk over to my desk, sitting down and opening my work laptop. I call someone to take care of the body at the cafe.

Meredith's pov:
I open my eyes, waking up in dereks bed. I sit up slowly. Derek's sat at his desk. "Der" I whisper. He looks at me. "Hey.. you okay?" He closes his laptop, walking over to me. I nod. He sits on the edge of the bed. I sit, resting against the headboard."What happened?" He asks.

I tell him what happened. He hasn't said anything yet. "I didn't want to break up with you.. I didn't mean any of the stuff I said but he was going to kill you If I didn't" I say. He doesn't say anything. "Can you say something" I say. "Maybe" he looks at me "maybe it was for the best" he whispers. "What?" I say. "You almost died today.. again.. I can't keep putting you in danger" he says. "Derek" I tear up. "Mer you- you might be better off without me.. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you died because of me" he says. "No der" I whisper. "I think we should break up" he whispers. "You don't mean that" tears roll down my cheeks. "Its for the best" he whispers. "No it isn't" I whisper. "I um-" he clears his throat, standing up. I look at him. His eyes are teary. "I sent one of my guys to the cafe to clean it up.. you can stay here tonight.. I um-" he clears his throat again "I'll stay at my trailer" he says. "derek.. no please" tears run down my cheeks. I stand up, walking over to him.

"I don't care derek.. Its worth it.. you're worth it" I say. "Its not worth putting your life at risk" he puts his hands on my cheeks. Tears are streaming down my face. "I don't want to lose you" I whisper. "I don't want to lose you.. but I'd rather us be broken up and you alive than you dying because of me" he says. "I can protect myself" I say. "I can't keep putting you in danger" he says. "Please" I whisper. "Text me if you need anything okay?" he whispers. He kisses me on the head, walking away. I hold his hand, pulling him back. He turns around. I look into his eyes. He puts his hands on my cheeks, kissing me passionately. I run my fingers through his hair as our tongues dance. He pulls away slowly. "I'm sorry" he whispers. He kisses me again softly before leaving.

Derek's pov:
As soon as the elevator doors close I break down. "Fuck" I run my fingers through my hair before punching the wall hard. I try to keep myself together as the elevator doors open. I walk outside to my porsche, basically speeding to the trailer.

I walk Into my trailer. I grab a bottle of whiskey, sitting on the couch and taking large gulps straight from the bottle. I wince slightly as it stings my throat.

Meredith's pov:
As soon as Derek leaves I burst into tears. I walk over to the minibar, grabbing a bottle of tequila. I take a few large swigs. I don't want too much of a hangover in the morning so I put it back down and walk over to the bed. I take off my clothes, putting on one of Derek's shirts.

I cry on the phone to cristina for a while, drink a bit more alcohol and put on TV. I cry for the rest of the day until I finally fall asleep.
