Time Changes Things

Chapter 5

(Der POV)

Richard, Bailey and the interns all looked at me. "She went to change after surgery. I don't know where she is, but she didn't come out." I said with tears in my eyes. "Okay, okay, let's not panic. Grey is a smart woman and she's probably hiding somewhere." Bailey said, trying to keep us all positive. "What's happening? Derek?!" Addison said as she ran up to us. "There's a shooter in the hospital. Merediths still in there." George replied. "Oh my god." Addison whispered. "I-." "The FBIs here. Let's set up the computers!" Richard yelled. We ran over and watched them hook up the computers and pair them with the computer. "Okay we're up." One agent said. Richard flicked through the cameras, making sure no one was on harms way. We flicked onto a view of Meredith and the shooter. "Oh god. The- the shooter is Mr. Henry. His wife died last week." I said with fear evident in my voice.

(Mer POV)

I walked down the hall, trying to get to dereks office to see what was going on. I heard a gunshot and a quickly ran into a supply room. I'm terrified. I don't know what's going on. Do I move? Do I stay? I don't know. I decided that since dereks office was just down the hall, I could go there and hide. I quietly crept out of the closet. I briskly walked down the hall as quick as possible without making any noise. I was walking down the hallway when I heard a loud voice. "Stop right there." "I turned around to see Mr. Henry, the husband of a patient who died last week. "Mr. Henry." I said. "It's not safe here." I looked at him, hoping the fear in my eyes didn't give my strong facade away. "I know it's not." He said as he pulled out a gun from his pocket. "You and Dr Shepherd killed my wife. She's been the love of my life for over 30 years, and you killed her. You don't know what the pain is like." He said harshly. "No, I don't. But I do know what it's like to not be able to be with the person you love. And it's hard. It hurts me everyday to see him with someone else, but i keep moving forward. And you can too. You don't have to do this." I said.

I listened to what she said. She loves me. I love her. We just can't admit it. But now im going to. She's terrified right now I'm sure. But she's still thinking about me. Everyone was shocked at her words. My wife was still behind me, and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, having to see this. But i know I'm leaving her after this.

(Mer POV)

"Why shouldn't I do this? Why shouldn't I defend my wife after she died due to some arrogant surgeon?" Mr Henry asked. "Well, you'll go to jail for a very long time after this. And think about it, if you kill people, would your wife be okay with that? Would she still love you?" I questioned. "You don't get to ask questions about my wife." He said harshly, before raising the gun and firing twice.
