Chapter 1:
Cristina was laying in her bed, but she couldn't sleep. Her last conversation with Owen replaying in mind. She couldn't stay there in the hospital not even for Meredith, so she came home. She knew that Owen would be really busy right now with the current situation of the hospital which would also keep him well occupied for the next couple of days. She had to use this time to be strong, strong enough to face Owen, to help him understand, help him to move on, and to do that she needed to her get a hold of her own feelings first.
But right now all she could think of was him, their love. She recalled the way he was looked at her when she walked out of that room, when she walked out of their relationship. His eyes filled with all those tears. Her heart broke all over again, stopped beating for a moment, suddenly she couldn't breathe, she sat up straight in her bed. It took her a while before she realized that she was crying, crying so hard that she had choked on her own tears. She knew that she did the right thing by letting him go, but it was definitely not an easy thing to do. She was letting go of the only man she has ever truly loved, the only man who knew and loved the real Cristina. She was letting go of, the love of her life. She was sad, vulnerable but most of all she was scared.
Owen was still trying to understand the logic behind their breakup. It's been a few weeks now and he still hasn't really gotten a chance to talk to Cristina. She managed to avoid him pretty nicely. He was upset, he really missed her. He wanted her. It was getting harder with every passing day, it's been days since he slept. He had to talk to her, he had to try. Owen needed someone to talk to, a friend. The only friend he had was Cristina, she was his best friend. Owen had lost the love of his life and his best friend all at once.
Cristina knew that it would not be easy for Owen, he was visibly upset. He needed her now, more than ever. She had promised herself that she would help him in his difficult time, after all he was her best friend too, he was her person and he has always been there for her.
