A/N : Hi guys ! I'm back after a lack of inspiration, haha ! I am not so satisfied with my first chapter, there are a few things (maybe everything) I would like to modify but I leave it as it is, at least for now. Here is the 2nd chapter ! It is based on the song I'd Come For You by Nickelback. By the way, thank you for your reviews, I read all of them !
zajaacLulu : Yeah, I think the same ! Bringing back Teddy would be the best way to comfort Owen ! And now that Cristina has gone, it's the best opportunity for her to come back !
SparrowBones : Thank you ! I love your stories by the way ! Teddy was my favorite character on the show too ! I think she was a strong woman and life has been unfair to her, especially about love. I don't know how many chapters I have in mind, I'll write as inspiration comes. When I have some ideas in mind, I like to write my chapters based on songs. :D
KimRaverFan : Thank you ! I'm glad that you like it ! :D
TowenForLife : Ça me fait super plaisir de voir une française (ou quelqu'un qui parle très bien français) qui comme moi aurait voulu voir Teddy et Owen finir ensemble, c'est mon couple (imaginaire) préféré ! En tout cas, je me sens moins seule, merci, haha ! Moi aussi j'aimerais trop que Teddy revienne, ce serait vraiment le moment idéal pour qu'elle réapparaisse maintenant que Cristina est partie. Je garde toujours espoir même si on risque d'être déçues ! Après tout, Shonda dévoile souvent des surprises au dernier moment, héhé. Merci pour le compliment sur mon anglais, ça me fait aussi très plaisir, je l'apprends depuis la 6ème et je n'ai jamais été très douée, j'ai vraiment commencé à m'intéresser à vouloir l'améliorer à partir de la 1ère ! Et maintenant j'ai un niveau BTS ;)
Chapter 2 : I'd Come For You
When Owen woke up in the morning his head was hurting so bad because of the hangover and he took a moment to realize what he has just done. He called Teddy. He called her after all this time because drunk him needed her. Or maybe he actually needed her. Well, that was confusing, he wasn't that kind of man showing his weaknesses and asking some help. But Teddy was his best friend and he knew that he could tell her anything. At least he could when everything was still alright between them and that was a long time go. That was before all those events at Seattle Grace hospital, before Cristina, before Henry's death, before he fired her. He thought he definitely lost Teddy's friendship after Henry's death, she hated him for a while with « every cell of her body » as she said nicely. She ignored him for months and then, when she started talking to him again, she had this incredible job offer at Medcom. She wanted their friendship back, she wanted to stay because she is a loyal friend. It broke Owen's heart but he wanted her to pursue her dream, he knew her too well, she would leave if Cristina was staying at Seattle Grace so he decided to fire Teddy. That was the end of their story. Sometimes they called each other just to get some news but they were not as close as they used to be in the past.
Owen looked at his alarm clock. 6 : 00 AM. He had a day off. That sounded more like a forced rest day than a day off because working at the hospital was somehow the only thing that kept him alive. Anyway, he wouldn't have been allowed to go to surgery because of his hangover. His headache made him feel nauseous, he groaned and took a moment to finally stand up to cook something for breakfast. He needed to eat something although he may throw up later. When he got in the kitchen, Owen took a quick look at his phone which was on the counter. He had 1 missed call and 3 text messages. All coming from Teddy.
« I guess you're still sleeping, you didn't answer your phone. I'm at the airport, my flight should arrive at 8 :00 AM in Seattle. I'll take a taxi to get to your place, is that ok ? I'll let you know when I'm in Seattle.»
« My flight is delayed. »
« OK, I'm boarding now. See you in a few hours! »
She was actually coming. No need to answer her text messages, she was on her plane right now, she wouldn't be able to read it. Owen ate his breakfast and cleaned up a little his appartment. He took a look at his phone when he heard his phone having a new notification. That was Teddy again.
« I think you're awake now, I'm on a taxi, driving to your place. I'll be there within 20 minutes. »
This time, Owen texted her back.
« OK. Good. »
Just One more moment, that's all that's needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it.
Owen opened the door. He was facing his blond (ex?)best-friend right at the doorway. They froze for moment, looking in each other eyes. She was still herself, she looked exactly the same as the day she left Seattle for good. After a while, Owen was the first to speak.
- « I don't even know where to begin. »
- « Me either. » Teddy replied.
I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my soul's inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.
- « Well, then I guess we have many things to say. Come in. » Owen said.
Teddy walked into the appartment, her suitcase in hand. Owen noticed she was embarassed.
- « What's wrong? » he asked.
- « Nothing. It just feels empty without... »
- « I know. » Owen interrumpted her.
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you.
It felt so awkward. They didn't really know how to interract with each other, both of us were scared to make a wrong move. Then Owen suggested Teddy to take a seat on the couch and asked her if she wanted something to drink. After they both started to drink, Owen broke the silence.
- « So… How's Medcom going? »
- « Good. Great people there. I have a lot of responsabilities. I guess I've never had such a great job.» She said with a shy smile.
- « I'm glad you enjoy your job there. I knew you couldn't let this lifetime opportunity go away. »
- « Yes, I guess you're right. »
I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if you're ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow.
- « How long will you stay here in Seattle ? »
- « I don't know. Maybe one week. I actually need some time off. I'm a little bit overworked. And I missed you. It's been a while. You said that you needed me. So it will depend how long you need me here. »
- « Teddy… You don't have to do this. I was drunk when I called you that night. You know, I'll be fine. I expected Cristina to leave a long time ago. »
Teddy rolled her eyes. « You can't be fine Owen, the love of your life has just gone. Stop lying to yourself and to me ! I can't believe this is happening again. You can't just tell me when to go and when to stay! I told you that a long time ago, and you still don't get it? »
- « I am really an idiot. »
- « Oh yes, you are » Teddy replied with a smile.
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you.
- « What are you doing ? » Owen asked as he noticed Teddy was doing something on her phone.
- « Well, I came here hastily,and I haven't booked an hotel yet. »
- « Don't. » Owen said. « You can stay at my place, you'll sleep here. I'll sleep on the couch, you can get my bed ».
Teddy laughed. « Are you kidding me ? Owen, you are saying that I would sleep in your bed ? All alone in your bed in which you and Cristina slept together and had sex? » she laughed again. « Wait. I can't do that. I don't mind booking an hotel. »
Owen laughed too. « You're right, that was innapropriate, but listen, I really want you here rather than in a hotel that would bother me. I can buy another bed, I wouldn't let you sleep on the couch. Please.» he pleaded her.
Teddy took a while to think. « Fine. I'll sleep on the couch then. »
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you.
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
A/N : I know it's full of English mistakes! Let me know and I'll correct them! Btw, YES, I stole a line from 24 when Teddy and Owen meet again ! I thought that would fit. I know this chapter is not very good, don't hesitate to let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or suggestions for what's next because I'm having a lack of inspiration :/
