Today sure was a long day. Yeah, 'not gonna complain about that since I got used to it a long time ago. I got paged this morning, but Owen already left. I did ask him why he wasn't home when I got to the hospital, but he answered that he had a surgery scheduled at 4am. Liar, liar, he's on fire. His shift ended last night after a 72h shift. He literally fell asleep on my lap while we were watching a horror movie on the TV, so why did he go to the hospital at 4 am? It doesn't make any sense at all! I don't know what you're hiding Mr. Hunt, but I swear I'll find out.
As I left the scrub room after performing my surgery on miss Patersson, I accidentally bumped into Owen.
" Sorry, I was jus- nothing, forget it. " I mumbled without even looking at him, my eyes still focused on my tablet as I wrote something down on the patient file.
" Woah, you okay Amelia? "
Am I okay? Really, that's all you have to say? Oh yeah, thank you, I am wondering where my boyfriend was at 4 am this morning, because my bed feels cold when he is not here. What about you? I mean there's a lot of sexy surgeons in the hospital, maybe some of them love red heads and... Okay, stop, no, he can't be cheating on me right? No, I don't want to ne like my dead brother's ex-wife. Yeah, sorry Addie, I'm playing that card.
I left my tablet at a charging station and turned to face Owen, staring at him in the eyes, hoping it'll help him to tell me the truth.
" Where were you this morning? "
"I already told you, I had a sur- "
" Don't you dare lie in front of me, Kepner had this surgery! "
I couldn't help but shout at him, causing the nurses to look at us. As I tried to wink back the tears, I failed and turned around to go outside to calm myself, but Owen's hand reached my wrist.
" Amy, please, don't.. '
" Let go of me! "
I whined as he let go. He looked sad and hurt. It's not easy to be the one who stays, but damn, it's harder to be the one who leaves.
Loving can hurt. Loving can hurt sometimes.
