004 | The meeting

I just wanna say things won't happen exactly like they happened in greys mostly because it's just how I want it to work but some things will happen like they did

➰➰➰➰➰

I went to freshen myself up once Meredith and Alex went back to work and then I found Owen, I had to tell him everything before I leave to go to the meeting.

"Owen, do you have a minute?" I asked seeing as he was chief of surgery

"Sure, what's wrong Belle?" Owen asked and I took him into a empty room, it was the closest place to go.

"I've just been diagnosed with stage three Breast cancer, I'm starting chemotherapy tomorrow and I know I should have told you sooner that I was waiting for a diagnosis like this but I didn't want anyone to worry until I actually knew myself. Mer' Derek and Alex knew but I wanted to keep it to myself. I'll have to take some time off starting from now because Barbara from oncology wants to keep me in for observation especially after previously with chemo. I have my first round of chemo tomorrow" I explained to Owen who looked sorry for me.

"Thank you for telling me Annabelle, and I'll make sure everything is put in place for you. If you want me to tell anyone I'll do it. And anything else you need you just have to ask." Owen have me a small smile and I nodded

"Would you tell everyone, I can't do that. I need to get myself to a meeting because after that news I'm struggling so much. I need to change and get out of here. I'll probably come back later after the meeting but right now I can't handle telling everyone." I said to Owen who nodded.

"Thank you" I said. I then said my goodbyes and quickly went to change into my normal clothes which was a pair of black jeans with a white turtle neck top. I grabbed my phone and car keys before making a swift exit from the hospital and to my car. I found the closest meeting and immediately drove myself their....

➰➰➰➰➰

I sat in the hall where the meeting was being held, it wasn't the biggest one I've been to but everyone looked friendly. I sat beside a dark haired woman who gave me a small smile. A few people had began speaking and then the woman who had sat beside me. Her name was Amelia Shepherd...

"Shepherd??" I thought to myself. I knew Derek had sisters and one of them was called Amelia but this could just be a coincidence, right? A few more people told us about them

"Hi I'm Annabelle Grey and I'm a recovering drug addict and if I'm honest I'm struggling real bad right now" I paused.

"A few weeks ago I brought again but I didn't use, I was tempted but my sister and her husband found me asleep with it and got rid. I was tempted to buy again today especially after the news I had received." I paused. I always find talking about things in these meeting help more than anything.

"I just found out that I have stage 3 cancer, they wanted me to start chemo today but i was going to be admitted so asked to start tomorrow" I said.

➰➰➰➰➰

After the meeting I was stood at the coffee station when Amelia came over to me.

"Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis" Amelia said with a small smile.

"Oh, hi." I said snapping myself out of a little day dream I was in

"Sorry, I'm Amelia Shepherd, should have introduced myself before saying that" Amelia said with a small laugh while still smiling.
