It has been two weeks since the party at Meredith's house. And it has been two weeks too that Amelia and Owen haven't talked together. She tried to avoid him as much as possible in the hospital and then, after work, she would go straight home without taking any drink with her friends to make sure she would not see him. The brown haired girl made a decision: she didn't want to love men again, because she knew that if she does, the guy will risk death. It is what happened to all the men she ever loved: her dad, her brother, Ryan and even her baby. The young woman did not want this to happen again, Owen deserves to live so she must break off all ties with him before it is too late. She thought she was falling for him, but now that she thinks about it better and she realizes it was just a simple fling, maybe a little more, but now it is over.

Even though Meredith has decided not to sell the house, Amelia couldn't stay there any longer. She needed to have her own place if she wanted to settle here as she was now the head of the neurosurgery department. The brunette did not want to run away, not anymore.

Amelia was on call for twenty-four hours. When the emergency room was pretty calm around two o'clock in the morning, eighteen hours after the beginning of her shift, she finally walked until the closest on call room, feeling like she would collapse if she didn't bed down in the following minute. Once in the room, she hurried in a bed when she heard a voice.

"Amelia? Is that you?"

It was really dark and she barely recognized who was speaking. The surgeon guessed who spoke to her thanks to the voice.

"Mh… Yeah, it's me."

"Can we talk for a minute?"

The woman laid herself on the bed and answered to Owen.

"Not today sorry, I'm too tired." She said, hoping he wouldn't insist so she could get some sleep before being paged again.

"Okay, then when? I really would like to talk." Asked the redhead man.

"I don't know Owen, I'll text you." she told him with an impatient tone.

"Okay then… mh, see you later." It sounded more like a question, as if he was not sure he would see her again, at least not before a long time.

Amelia did not respond, she was already falling asleep, she just waved her hand even though it was probably too dark for him to see it.

One hour later, the young woman was being paged for an emergency. When she arrived in the ER, the patient was already brain dead. It was a twenty-eight-year-old man, he was going home with his wife and daughter after a wedding party. He drove while being drunk, that is what caused the accident. The neurosurgeon went to consult the wife and the little girl. This latter needed a brain surgery, Amelia scrubbed in, being mad at the father for being so unaware of having endangered the life of his daughter while driving drunk.

The surgery last five hours, and it was successful because the eight-year-old girl was almost out of danger now. She would live, and that made Amelia happy, saving people was the only goal in her life. Her shift was finished at eight o'clock, right after her last surgery. The brunette could have went back at Meredith's house, but she was being too lazy to drive so she went back into an on call room. Once again, Owen was there. But this time he was asleep. The young woman just took one minute to look at him, he seemed so peaceful when he was sleeping, and then for the second time of the night, she laid herself on the bed, without bothering to cover herself with a blanket, she was definitely too exhausted for that.

When she woke up, few hours later, Amelia noticed that she had a blanket on her. Somebody might have put it there, maybe it was Owen or maybe somebody else. She threw a glance over the bed he occupied to see if he was still here but he was gone. Then, she checked on her phone and saw a text saying "Don't forget to text me when you'll have time to talk." It made her smile. The woman didn't plan on texting him and she won't. She will let the time pass and he would finally forget her and meet another woman with whom he would get married and have children. Someone who will make him happy.

Amelia got up, gathered her things and finally went back at Meredith's place. She was not working until the next day so she spent the rest of the day playing with Zola and Bailey. In the evening, Meredith asked her if she wanted to come at Joe's with them.

"Who will be there?" answered Amelia.

"I don't really know, April, Callie, Alex, Maggie, Owen… I think almost everybody will be there." Said her sister-in-law.

"No, I'm not coming… Somebody has to stay with the kids and I am really tired, I need some sleep." She did not really need sleep because she has rested sooner that day. But she didn't want to see Owen yet, at least not until he was over them.

Owen did not seem to get that their story, or their fling, was over now and that there would not be anything else between them. She thought about texting him to tell him he should stop hoping but she was not strong enough to do that, he would be upset and sad and the brunette did not want that.

"Are you sure? Because I can call the babysitter and if you're tired we won't stay to long." Proposed Meredith.

Amelia really wanted to go out, she really missed that. She thought about it for thirty second.

"Okay… I'm coming, but we don't stay too late."

The young woman would avoid Owen, if there are a lot of people it should not be too difficult.

When they arrived in the bar, there were too many people. She quickly scanned the whole room looking for him but he was not here and wondered where he was because he was supposed to be there. Amelia sat at a table with April and Meredith, half listening their conversation.

"I thought you were going back to the war with the army and all." Said Meredith.

"Yeah, I wanted to but I knew that if I did, Jackson and I would break up and I don't want that, so many later… when our couple will be stronger." April replied.

They continued talking about the war when Owen came into the bar. Amelia has quietly shifted in front of April so he would not see her. It did not really help because he walked towards them to greet them. She hoped he will go to see Alex and Jackson but instead he took a chair to sit next to her.

"Did you get my text?" Owen questioned her.

"Mh.. Yeah I got it." Said Amelia, faking she was into April and Meredith's conversation.

"Maybe we can talk right now." He suggested.

"There are too many people around us Owen, I don't want too." She answered.

"So let's go outside!"

"No, I don't want to, there is nothing to talk about." Amelia told him.

"What? We have so many thing to talk about! Like the fact you completely stopped talking to me and started to avoid me at the hospital, you think I didn't see?" Owen seemed a little mad at her.

"I did, it's true but I have thought about it, and I don't want to see you anymore Owen, you and I, it was just a simple fling, I don't want to go further with you, okay?" She was maybe a little harsh but she did not know how to say it another way. Owen's face broke her heart, he looked so sad and upset at the same time.

"Okay so… I won't bother you anymore, I am sorry I totally misunderstood… I… I thought that we were more than a fling." After saying that, he took his coat which was on the chair, got up and then went outside of the bar. Letting Amelia feeling more than guilty about what she just said.

Hey! This is pretty short but I just want to know if it's worthy enough to continue or not, so tell me what you think about it and if I should keep up :)

Thank you!
