Embrace
A/N: Ok, this is my first attempt at writing a fanfiction so be patient with me, please. This is set somewhere after 5x10. Thank you for reading and I would really appreciate it if you left me a comment telling me what you think! :)
She's just standing there, frozen. Where is she? She looks around and suddenly remembers. She takes a look at the little, perfectly round pills in her hand and everything comes back to her. Her palms are sweaty and her breathing's shallow. 'Amelia, get it together' she thinks to herself. 'Just these ones and no more'. She knows she's lying to herself but she doesn't care. At that moment she couldn't care less. She just wants to feel better. She just wants to get through this day, through this surgery. She knows she's lying to herself.
Some voices in the hall bring her back to reality. What is she doing? She can't do this anymore. But she doesn't want to...she can't feel the way she's feeling anymore either. A sigh escapes her and she quickly puts the three pills in her pocket as the voices get closer. She heads for the hallways almost running. Just wanting to get out of there. Not just the hospital. She wants to crawl out of her skin. She's walking fast but a figure in front of her stops her. She looks up. "Addie..." The younger woman says shyly and with a hurt in her voice. She can see the worry in the other woman's eyes. "Amelia.." The older woman says in a soft tone of voice as she walks a step closer. Amelia doesn't say anything. The words are trapped under the knot that formed in her throat. "I'm..." She tries to speak and her eyes fill with tears. "It's ok." Addison says as she hugs her younger sister. She feels Amy's skinny body shake under her arms as she sobs. "Shh...it's ok." She says as she tightens her embrace. She knows. She knows her better than anyone else. And she's there. She's always been and always will be. And in that moment, Amelia knows she's going to be ok. They are both sure, for the first time in months, things are going to be just fine. Because they will always be there for each other no matter what.
