IT WAS THE NEXT DAY, AND MAEVE SLOAN WAS TUCKED IN BED. EYES puffy from crying herself to sleep. a knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts, the door opened to reveal jackson "hey" he spoke up

"hey" maeve whispered, not having the energy to speak up louder

jackson sighs softly, he walked forward to the green eye brunette. stopped and kneeled right in front of her "i have to go in to work, but i left some breakfast for you in the kitchen" he explains as maeve just has this empty look on her face

"thank you" she said quietly "can you not tell mark nor lexie about this?" she asked

jackson nodded "i promise i won't" he said before getting up and walking towards the door. he glanced back at her once more before leaving. a single tear rolled down maeve's cheek, i guess always isn't forever after all she thought to herself

as jackson was walking towards his car, he was surprised to see dean salvatore, parked across the street "what the hell are you doing here, man?" jackson immediately asked

dean figured maeve already told him everything "i need some advice" he spoke up

"advice?" jackson scoffed "you want advice from me? yeah okay"

"i'm that desperate" dean confessed as he walked towards jackson

"oh, great insults" jackson scoffed

"look, bro—

jackson cut him off "i am not your brother. and if i was maeve, i would never, ever speak to you again. what you keep doing to her is unforgivable"

"you don't think i know that? i know! i know i fucked up. but now, she's not returning any of my calls or texts" dean argued

"well what do you expect? she seen you talking to the girl you cheated on her with" jackson argued

dean sighs "oh, fuck this" he muttered as he goes to leave

"yeah, just run away like you always do" jackson mutters as dean walked away he couldn't help but ask "dean, do you really love her? no bullshit"

"yes, of course i fucking love her! i never felt like this for anyone before. i just wish i didn't fuck the whole thing up like i always do" he said "you know, mark was right" jackson glanced at the blue eyed blond "she deserves better"

there was something in his look that made jackson curious "what are you thinking dean?" he asked

dean glanced over at jackson "i-i think i'm going to take damian's offer"

after three surgery's later, in seattle mercy west hospital, jackson finally ran into meredith "we need to talk" jackson urged

meredith furrowed her brows as jackson dragged the two into the empty conference room "what's up?" she asked curiously

jackson sighs "dean and move broke up"

meredith instantly closed her eyes and ran a hand through her hair "oh no" she mumbles "does mark know?"

"no and maeve asked me not to tell him nor lexie. so i came to you, because you're like her mother, and i can't get through to her" he said "we need to act fast—

meredith finished his sentence "because she goes back to vancouver tomorrow" she sighs

jackson then remembered what dean has mentioned "since you're close with dean, do you happen to know what damian offered dean?" he asked

meredith furrowed her brows before she tried to remember if dean happened to mention anything. after a few seconds it came to her "please tell me he didn't accept it" she uttered

"he said he was thinking about it. why?" jackson asked curiously

"i-i have to stop him" meredith sighs as she started to pace. jackson immediately asked her why "he's planning to leave to los angeles"

it was eight at night when maeve sloan left jackson's apartment. after unlocking the door, she furrowed her brows, as she sees an envelope lying on her living room
floor. who could have possibly slid it under her door she thought to herself. she closed her apartment door and kneeled down to grab the white envelope. she furrowed her brows, seeing as the envelope held something more than just a piece of paper. she walked towards her room, placing her keys on her vanity before taking a seat on bed and opening the envelope. she pulled out the piece of paper, and the other thing that just happened to be a car key. she was so confused, but she grabbed the paper and unfolded it and as she read the first line, her breath hitched

"to my dearest maeve,

people are always saying if you love something, you have to learn to let it go. i thought that was such bullshit, until you said how many more way am i going to break your heart while you cried. in that moment, maeve, nothing mattered to me, except you. i love you with all of my heart. and that's exactly why i'm leaving seattle and moving to los angeles with dom, letty, mia, tej, roman and damian. i have to get as far away from you as possible. we're like an addiction to each other, with equal parts pleasure and pain.

the night of the party when i was talking to that girl, i had to apologize for my past in order to have a future with you, but fate just seems to get in our way. so let's cut the bullshit. you're too damn good for me, and i know it. and somewhere in the back of my mind i always knew we wouldn't last, and i think you did, too when people see good they expect good, and i don't wanna live up to anyone's expectations. which is why mark was right, all i'm doing is ruining your happiness. you aren't suppose to be crying for me of all people. i'm sorry. i don't want to go. all i want is to be with you. but i can't. i can't keep hurting you. i need you to be truly happy, and if that means without me, then i'll step aside

i don't know what los angeles holds for me, but i want you to know that i don't regret any of this, baby. the fact that i was loved not just by anyone but by you, maeve sloan, its every mans dream. i know this is going to be painful at first, and it could take days, even more. but one of those days, you're going to wake up and the sorrow will start to slip away. until we're nothing but a distant memory.
i once told you that you are by far the greatest thing to ever happened to me, and when i do picture myself happy, it's with you. and that is completely true. i think some part of me will be in love with you for the rest of my life. the day at the beach, you made me promise you that if we were to break up again that i would stay in your life. i intend to keep my promise, but from a distance

the key in this envelope is the car key to my baby. i had damian pull a few strings with the cops and luckily he got me back my car from the impound. i had jesse and dom help me rebuild it while you were out filming, because i knew you loved the car just as much as i did, which is why i'm giving you the key, it's all yours

goodbye, sweetheart"
