Cristina stood there shocked at what he was doing. He was going to leave her just like Burke, only this time it made her sick to think she would never see him again. She wanted to know why he would just leave and not say anything. What if he was not leaving at all? She began to think that maybe he was getting help, but then again he could get help elsewhere as well. Cristina did not know what to do except just to stand there and wait to see what happens.

"Sir I wanted to talk to you about a possible transfer." Owens' head fell as he said those words he thought he would never say. The Chief just nodded, "Owen…why don't you think about this for a little while. This hospital really needs you." Owen looked up and that's when he saw her standing there. She was staring at him and his heart just fell. The chief knew exactly who he was looking at. "Owen she needs you…" Owen looked at him in shock and sadness. "Owen I know a lot of what goes on here. I have seen the two of you together in the halls." Owen looked back toward Cristina who's face was blank. "Owen just give it some thought. If you still want to leave then I wont fight it." Owen nodded and left the office.

Cristina could not move no matter how much she wanted to. She noticed that he was looking at her before he left the Chief's office. She kept her feet firmly planted as we walked her way. She watched as he kept his head down and began walking right past her.

"So your just going to leave?" The anger could be heard in her voice with no trouble. Owen did not stop walking he needed fresh air and fast. The rain had not let up since earlier this morning, but instead had gotten heavier.

"So that's it?" She said as she attempted to match his fast strides. She noticed that they were heading outside and stopped for a moment to watch him leave. Her heart felt as though someone was ripping it out. She needed to tell him before he was gone from her life for good. With a quick sigh Cristina ran outside to get him. When she got closer she grabbed his arm and turned him around. "You can't leave me…" she said as the rain beat down on her face.

Owen sighed and shook his head, "Cristina I hurt you… if I stay here it can happen again." He shook his arm out of her grip and began to walk away. Cristina began to feel the tears in her eyes 'common its now or never' she thought to her self.

"I love you…" She said at almost a whisper. Owen stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. "What?" He said in shock. Cristina walked up to him and said it once more, "I said… I love you…" She looked at him with hurt in her eyes. "If you leave me now…you will hurt me even more." Owen stood there not knowing what to do. He had wanted to hear those words for sometime now but never thought he would.

Cristina examined his expression for a moment before backing slowly away. She could not believe she had done that and was almost sure that he was going to leave now. She looked down at her clothes as she walked away noticing that they were soaked. Before she reached the doors she felt his hands on her shoulders and for a moment her heart skipped a beat. She slowly turned toward him but he held her still.

Owen stood there a moment until she began to leave then panic set in. He moved quickly after her and stopped her. He wrapped his arms around her and put his mouth next to her ear, "I love you too." He said with such passion. He then loosened his grip on her and she turned and hugged him as tight as she could. Owen was still scared but swore to himself the he would make things better.
