Could this really be true? Did this really happen?
Jackson was lost in his thoughts as he was washing his hands. This didn't last long though, as Owen stormed into the washroom, rushing towards one of the stalls,slamming the door behin him. The next thing Jackson heard was gagging.
"Owen?" He asked concerned "Are you alright?" He didn't get an awnswer. Jackson approached the stall and knocked on the door. "Owen? Hey - are you okay?" He asked again. When there was no awnswer again, he opened the stall door a little. In his rush Owen hadn't locked it.
When Jackson saw him, he knew what he'd heard was true. It had happened. Something happened to Amelia.
"Hunt? What's going on?" Jackson asked more forcible this time.
"It's my… I… I… I should…" Owen sobbed.
"What happened to her?" Jackson asked concerned.
"I… I don't know… I should have been there…" Owen could barely breath "It's my… it's my…" he couldn't finish his sentence, getting interrupted by another wave of nausea.
Jackson rushed towards him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
What the hell is going on here?
He asked himself.
"Ok, you need to breath!" He said to the choking Owen.
"I… I…" Owen tried to say but Jackson interrupted him "Hunt! Breath! Now!" He ordered. When he noticed that Owens breath started to normalise he started to gently rub his back. "Good… in and out… in and out…" he instructed him.
"She can't die! I can't loose her!" Owen cried.
"She's gonna get through this. She's a fighter." Jackson said, hoping he'd be right. Honestly, he didn't even know what was going on with Amelia but he knew that this was what Owen needed to her right now.
Please let me be right. Please let her be ok.
Jackson thought to himself.
All of the sudden his pager rang.
"Damit!" He exclaimed "I'm being paged 911 to the ER" he looked at Owen "Are you okay? Can I leave you here?"
Owen didn't awnswer at first.
"Owen?" Jackson asked again, Owen giving him a little nod in response. As he was leaving th washroom he heard Owens voice behin him
"Avery?"
"What?" Jackson asked concerned.
"Thank you." Owen said weakly, Jackson answering with a nod before rushing towards the ER.
Editors Note: A big big thank you to all of you who are reading this story! This chapter was really hard to write for me, because usually, Amelia would comfort Owen, but in this case I had to find someone else. It was kinda hard because Owen doesn't usually open up to people easily. I was thinking about bringing Riggs back for him, but then I'd have to also bring back Megan and then this whole story would get too overwhelming and would kind of loose it's focus I think. What do you think: Who would be a person Owen would open up to? Any ideas?
