A/N: I'm new at writing fanfiction, but this prompt has been going through my head and I had to get it out, this chapter is short, but I have a lot in mind, and other chapters are prepared I just need to work a little on them and I will keep this story updated! Please leave your reviews, feel free to criticize so I could improve or give any sort of idea, let me know what you think :)
"There's just one thing I still need to know" Owen didn't care to hide his growing exasperation and confusion, he wanted Amelia to never have said what she did and to never had hurt him, or maybe never make him like and want her in the first place. He wished he'd never see her again at one point because every time he does, he wants to walk up to her and talk or kiss her but he couldn't do that anymore. Instead, he tried avoidance, but avoiding her was impossible as they were forced to work together, it was weird how when they started they were always being interrupted and when they broke it off cases kept coming in that needed both of them..
Amelia turned her head to him, a little surprised but anxious to what he had to say after their last conversation, she imagined it was only going to hurt her more. She already missed him, she craved being so close to him that she could see every tiny freckle, she wanted to lay in bed with him forever, but she was scared. She was terrified, in fact, to want him, to be with him, she was frightened that if she let herself be then she'll fall hard and he won't reciprocate or worse, he would, and she just knew she was undeserving of him.
They were in an ambulance truck together, there has been a horrible trauma and they needed doctors, all hands on deck, and as SGM was a level 1 trauma center they sent a surgical team, there was another ambulance with more interns and residents but this one had only Owen and Amelia.
"When you showed up to my trailer that night, what was that? When you helped me with Ruby and when you asked if I had people, was that just you trying to get laid? Because I'm just curious and amazed by how far you could go just to get laid if that was it" Owen spit out the last part, he was obviously really mad at how things ended, he was mad and hurt and he couldn't get over it. He said he was done but he still wasn't over it. Amelia let herself dwell on that for a moment, she wasn't over him either, but this was nowhere near him fighting for them again.
"Owen.." Amelia started softly, shocked but mostly miserable that he misunderstood it that way, she didn't realize before how much he was infuriated by what had happened, she tried to enhance the situation, she searched for his eyes, he was avoiding hers "I am still your people, I do care, you can talk to me about anything, I am around, always. I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain it to you but-"
The door opened to the field where a building in progress had collapsed and Owen stormed out, he was scared that the next thing she'd say is "we can be friends", that was the worst thing anyone could do after dumping another person, he had already started missing her, but he knew how planning to be friends with a past love interest would go, and he wasn't ready to get attached to someone and then be rejected and hurt, he knew he couldn't go through that all over again.
She knew they had to get out and start helping, but Amelia was angry at the universe, and hurt by Owen's catching the opportunity and running away. She got that he was mad, but damn it he couldn't even look at her without making her feel blamed. She stared at him for a moment as he immediately found someone to help, and then she took a deep breath, decided to bottle it up for now and move on. It was very ironic and annoying how every chance they get to talk gets interrupted.
…
Owen finished with the patient he was helping and loaded him to the ambulance, he had needed a chest tube and had some bruises, but he was mostly going to be fine. He stood for a second to catch his breath, and he heard a far sound crying for help. He tried to look around, check for where it was coming from. Then he stopped, the sound was closer. "Help! Please send some help here!" He was getting frustrated "HELLO! I'M HERE TO HELP! WHERE ARE YOU?!" everyone looked at him weird, but then he heard it in a faint scream "We're down here, we're stuck down here!" Owen shifted in surprise and laid down on the ground carefully, Amelia started toward him to see what was going on, She heard him shouting and for a moment considered if he was out of his mind, but before they could see it, the floor collapsed beneath him.
