Ellen and Patrick have been very close since the first day they met. Six months ago they became really, extremely close and what happens when someone realizes they want more. SET DURING APRIL 2007 No Twins or Stella in this story, sorry.

Every secret eventually makes its way out of the darkness. Theirs wasn't any different. It had been six years and that reality still stung her chest. Ellen had vowed to stop thinking about him, about what happened, but there was something about an impending apocalypse that made you reflect on your choices. The world had gone quiet but her mind felt very loud. Memories of him suddenly haunting her. Feelings she had long put to rest finding a way into her heart. She wouldn't romanticize what they had. It was messy and complicated. In some ways their relationship had to be experienced to be understood. They fought hard, and they loved hard. They challenged each other. But most of all, Patrick made her feel alive. He set her heart on fire. To even her surprise, it was that very fire that was warming her heart in the midst of the worlds turmoil. Caught in the flashbacks of a life that was once her's, Ellen must choose to push forward in the life she had built without him or find her way back to the life they could have had.

On a quiet afternoon in early Summer, Patrick pondered what it would be like to see her again. He had spent the last seven years waking up next to Jillian but not a day went by when he didn't wonder. With each passing year being without her hurt a little less but on any given day he could still feel her if he allowed himself. He could smell her on his skin, hear her laugh. Working with her again could provide a setback that would be impossible to recover from. That was just considering his feelings. He couldn't imagine the kind of havoc this was going to wreak on his marriage. A knock at the door broke the silence of the house and the chaos of his thoughts. It was on this Summer afternoon in Maine that Patrick's life would be changed forever. Could a knock at the door send his life spinning down another path? Or would it simply right a wrong that had been done years ago?

Patrick is at an interview that will change his life; and not only his. This is my second dempeo story. Sorry for my bad English, I'm not native. :-)

Ellen and Patrick meet for the first time in New York they start as friends but what will happen between them? Will they overcome everything and be together or life will tear them apart? This is an AU Dempeo story which means there's no Grey's Anatomy other things are different too but that will come in time. ❗️Disclaimer❗️ I didn't write this story full credit goes to "cesc" from the board "Greysmcboard" site Tapatalk! And Published 2008 I don't own the story or the characters The writer is using names of real people but this is a FICTIONAL story!! And it isn't meant to offend anyone.

"The hardest part of being on a tv show is not falling in love with the co-star"- Patrick Dempsey This starts in 2004 when Ellen and Patrick met and will hopefully carry on until present day (there will probably be a huge jump from 2015 to present day). I'm going to try and add as much in from interviews and photo shoots etc. as possible to make it realistic. I'm going to try and go into as much detail as possible so the chapters may be quite long. It may contain some more mature scenes so I'd suggest being 16+ to read this. *This is what I (and probably every other dempeo fan) hope happened but is in no way the truth or meant to be offensive to anyone the story includes P.S I'm sorry if the writing is terrible, this is my first fanfic! https://youtu.be/8hdntaRs5RM

"The hardest part of being on a TV show is not falling in love with the co-star"- Patrick Dempsey "I can't fall in love with him, he's married and I'm not single"- Ellen Pompeo This is a more put together version of my fanfic, it reads more like a book and more time has gone into each of the chapters making the longer and more descriptive.
