Meredith And Nathan: fight for your L(ife)ove

You stress me out, you kill me

- Hey Amelia, I think it's high time I left. Can you drive me?
-Sure. We'll talk on the way.
She grabbed her keys and off we went:
-So, I'm really sorry Mer, the way things turned out. I don't want this to be an obstacle in your relationship with Nathan.
-We'll be fine, don't worry. Well, I am fine. But I am really worried about him.
-Why?
-Because he might be having the same crisis I have, which I am trying to get through. It is really crapy to go through that. And I don't wanna suffocate him. I will give him space, but I don't know if we're gonna survive this.
-You just focus on your well being, and then his. And from there you'll see. Trust me. But one thing's for sure: he loves you, I can see it in his eyes.
-I think I love him too. What do I do?
-Just follow your heart and stop overthinking.
-Thank you Amelia.

When I arrived home he was waiting at the porch. I sent the kids inside and said:
-Why are you here? I though you'd go home.
-Well, looks like you are my home.-Nathan said
-Excuse me?
-I thought I needed to be alone, but I need you. You make me strong.
-No, no.-I told him
-No what?
-You need to think, on your own.
-Why?
-Because I don't wanna suffocate you! I don't wanna be around the corner blocking your way, making it impossible to think.
-You don't make it impossible to think! Who are you to make decisions for me and my life? I decide whether I want it or not, and whether the risk is worth taking or not. I decide! Nobody but me!
-Oh I get it. My opinion is irrelevant to you.
-I didn't say that!!
-Stop shouting in front of my house. Don't be disrespectful please.
-So now I'm disrespectful?
-Nathan, you are getting on my nerves. Shut up and go home
-You don't get to do that. You don't get to tell me what to do.
-And you don't get to make a scene in my house.
-Ok, it's fine, if you want to, go be with someone else. Jump as many guys as you'd like to. I'll leave you alone.
He was leaving when I grabbed his arm furiously and got closer to him. I whispered very clearly:
-You don't get to call me a whore. Is it clear?
I let go his arm and went inside, slamming the door. He had crossed the line this time. What was all of it for? I shouldn't have worried so much about him. Stupid me again. I need to learn to worry about myself first before worrying about others.
-Zola, Bailey, pack your things. Tomorrow morning we are leaving
-Where are we going?-Zola asked.
-We are going away, for a few days. Mommy needs time to relax...
