And then she woke up she sprinted upwards she looked to her right hoping it really was all just a dream and yet

He wasn't there

It was even cold to the touch

She ran out of the room and went into the triplets' bedroom seeing their new race car bed that they had just gotten

They were made and empty they hadn't been slept in

They were also gone

Everyone she loved was dead

She dropped to her knees sobbing not even caring about the stinging feeling in her knees. The pain in her knees was nothing compared to the pain of losing her husband and all five of her beautiful, sweet, innocent children

She was never a loud cry she didn't want to be one of those people but she didn't care anymore

Her life was over

She sat on the floor on her knees with her face pressed into her face sobbing loudly, so loudly that if they didn't live In the middle of anywhere someone would hear her

If SHE didn't live in the middle of anywhere

She's alone

And always will be

No matter what

There's nobody that can take away her pain anymore

All. Alone.

She was going to die alone

And then she felt something she also heard something but she couldn't make out what it was over her loud sobs

She felt someone pick her up, she didn't know who this mysterious person was. Whoever it was

They felt safe

They picked her up and wrapped her legs around their waist as she cried into their shoulder

The mysterious person brought her back into her room and sat down on the bed with her on their lap rocking her back and forth as she still sobbed into their shoulder making their shirt drenched in her tears of pain

But they didn't care, she was in pain

And a deep and large amount of pain

Nobody should have to feel the amount of pain she was feeling in the moment

"Meredith, you're okay, sh sh sh it's okay, you're okay" the mystery person whispered in her ear as she clutched onto the person for dear life

******
After about an hour of Meredith sobbing into the stranger's shoulder, they leaned back and just held her there on his chest

He didn't know why she was crying but he just knew that whatever it was it was bad terribly bad

He sat there wondering what on earth could have caused her so much pain all at once

*****
About an hour and a half had passed and he was still laying there with her in his arms he had moved her so her legs were hanging off the side hoping it would be more comfortable for her
