I felt how the sky fell apart over me, how it was consuming me, and I was useless.
-Amelia? I need you, can you come?
-Of course, has that bitch threatened you by phone or something?- she asked
-No, no. I need you so come as soon as you can- and I hung up the phone.
Half an hour later she arrived...
-Mer, what's wrong? Where's Nathan?
-Nathan decided we could no longer be a couple
-what? Why not? Did he say he was choosing Megan?
-No! He said he was protecting me, how stupid.
-So he left you?
-Yes, and I told him to leave. He said he still loved me, and that he wanted to be friends. I mean, who says that? What kind of break up is that?
-Well I mean I get it, he would never forgive himself if something happened to you
-Whose side are you on?
-I'm on yours, but what I mean is he had reason to do that.
-So every time I have reason to break someone's heart I'm supoosed to do it?
-No, I never said that.
-You know what? I'm sick and tired of his attitude, I think I need to end this definitely.
-What are you gonna do?
-I'm going to tell him I don't wanna be his friend. Because I deserve more respect. I'm not switching from a lover to a friend, I am better than that.
-Well but what's wrong with that?
-I cannot be his friend. It's like when you are really important to a person and all of a sudden they ask you to be less important to them? Well, this is exactly that.
-I don't see the resemblance but if you say so...
-I do. And I'm also so stupid. I believed in him, I thought he was one of my great loves, but I don't know. I feel like everyone I've loved, I've lost. Whether it's because they leave or because they die. So what's the point in loving if it's gonna break you?
-Well, love is like that.
-Well it shouldn't be-I said.
-Meredith, you are young, beautiful, strong, independent woman who doesn't need Nathan's pity or protection, and you are so beautiful you could be with anyone you want in the world. Look what he is missing!
-Well, apparently I'm not good enough for him
-Screw him!
-Yeah, you're right, screw him. I am better, and I can be with anyone I wanna be. Screw you, Nathan- Just as I finished saying this, he appeared.
-Screw me? Really? Wow that hurt me
-Talking about hurting...- I said mumbling
-Amelia, can you give us a minute?
-Sure, you still don't deserve her, but fine.
-You are right, I don't deserve her. Now will you go please?
-I'll be outside if you need me.
-What do you want?- I said rather aggressively
-I want to talk
-Though you said everything you had to say
-Meredith look, I am still in love with you, but I can't do this to you. You almost died today! I want to protect you, you are the most important thing I have along the kids
-Zola, Bailey and Ellis aren't your kids
-Oh do you really wanna go there? Look, I want you to stay safe, I don't want you to die
-I don't need your protection Nathan.
-But you do, I need to protect you because you are the greatest love story of my life. I am just trying to protect you
-Protecting who? Because my heart feels as if you had stabbed a dagger in it. Nathan, I don't want to be friends, I don't want to see you, okay? I'll just try to be nice for Aiden, but I should just kill you instead, because I don't deserve this. Or the multiple times you broke my heart, okay? So I'm just being nice because of the kids, but I couldn't want less with you. Do you understand?
-Okay, then I'll go- he said devastated.
-Okay then-I said- Goodbye Nathan
-Goodbye Meredith...

Goodbye for ever.......
