Author's POV
"You've had enough." The bartender told Amelia, who wanted to order her seventh Vodka Tonic.
"NO! Give me more, i need more." Amelia said, the pain was finally away but now she needed to keep it away.
"I'm sorry but we are also closing, it's 3 AM." The bartender said hoping she wouldn't get mad.
"Amelia!" Amelia heard an familiar behind her say. 'Please let it not be her.' Amelia thought.
"Mam, i'm sorry we are closing, i was just telling her to leave."
"I know, i am here to pick her up, she is my sister." Amelia looked beside her and saw Meredith standing there.
"Meredith, please leave me alone."
"Amelia, are you drunk? ARE YOU MAD?! You were clean for 1360 days! 1360 DAYS AMELIA!" Meredith couldn't believe her own eyes Amelia was drunk.
"Like i care." Amelia told Meredith.
"Please let the alcohol be talking now, when you are sober, i am screaming the brains out of your head." Meredith said and grabbed Amelia'a hand, Amelia tried to fight back with her but knew she couldn't win.
Meredith tried her fast not to fall on the ground with Amelia who could barely walk, Meredith set Amelia in the back of the car and slammed the door shut and got in the passenger seat, she looked in the mirror and saw Amelia trying her best to get out of the car.
"W-Why can't i open this fucking door!?" Amelia shouted.
"Child lock, you can thank me later." Meredith smirked and started the engine.
"FUCK YOU MEREDITH GREY!"
"I indeed need to get laid, but not by you i hope." Meredith said focusing on the road.
After 10 minutes of driving Meredith pulled over in her parking lot.
"Phew, you are so lucky that Owen isn't here, he would be furious."
"Oeeh i am so scared." Amelia said sarcastic.
"You should be." Meredith said and walked to Amelia and opened the door for her, slowly Amelia got out and immediatly held the car for support.
"Whoopsi i think i am drunk." Amelia giggled and looked at Meredith.
"I love you."
Meredith laughed and shook her her and held Amelia to support her with walking.
"You are so weird drunk, then you are mad and i can fuck myself, and now you love me, please never get drunk again." Meredith laughed at herself.
"Shut up." Amelia turned into a mad drunk within any second.
"I can walk by myself, i am a adult." Amelia got herself out of Meredith's grip and tried walking alone, which turned out not so well.
"Amelia let me help you." Meredith held Amelia nodded her head finally understanding she can't walk on her own.
Meredith tried her best to support Amelia but when they came to the stairs towards her front porch it went wrong, Amelia lost her balance and felt down bringing ofcourse Meredith with her.
"Damnit Amelia!" Meredith sighed and stood up, she helped Amelia who looked apologetic towards Meredith. "Did she finally realize what she did was stupid?' Meredith asked herself.
"Come, lets go inside." Meredith told her and Amelia nodded her head still not having the best balance.
When they finally made it inside Meredith let out a sight of relief.
"Finally we made it, now let's get you upstairs, please work with me." Meredith said to Amelia who clearly wasn't aware of what was happening.
When Meredith finally succeeded to put Amelia to bed, she didn't leave Amelia's old room, she looked Amelia sleeping like a rock with Meredith spare pyjama on. Meredith hoped this was only a one time thing, she grabbed her phone and dialed Owens number, she walked out of the room and leaned agaist the wall waiting for Owen to reply.
"Mer! Did you find her? Please tell me you did." Meredith heard Owen's worried voice echo trough the phone.
"Owen, calm down! I found her, she is sleeping here." Meredith said trying to calm Owen down.
Owen sighed in relief.
"I am so relieved, i searched everywhere, where did you find her?"
"Maybe you should come here first." Meredith didn't want to tell Owen trough the phone that Amelia relapsed.
"Mer, where did you find her?" Owen didn't like the way Meredith acted towards him. He was her fianceé for god sakes!
"Just come here." Meredith said and hang up the phone, she sighed and prepared for a bad conversation.

When the doorbell rang after 10 minutes of waiting, Meredith answered the door and let a worried Owen in.
"Where is she?" Owen said.
"In her old room, Owen please sit down first." Owen heard the worried tone in Meredith's voice and knew he had to sit down and listen to her. He nodded his head and sat down on the couch, when he came in contact with the soft fabric he felt how tired he actually was, he looked at his watch and saw it already was 5 AM, he realized how long he was searching for Amelia. He looked over at Meredith who sat down on the couch and prepared herself for her own words.
"What happend, Meredith?" Owen said softly.
"I found her in the bar, she was drunk, i am so sorry Owen! I hope this was a one time thing." Meredith said, she sighed finally the words came out of her. She looked at Owen and saw the look on his face.
"W-What?" Owen tried to find words but nothing came out.
"She was in so much pain Owen, i think she needed it to fade away, i don't think its a "relapse" because i know she is a strong woman, and you know that too." Owen nodded his head agreeing with her but he still couldn't believe what just happend.
"What am i suppose to do now?" Owen asked Meredith, Meredith saw the desperate look in this eyes.
"We need rest, you can sleep here on the couch if you want?"
"I want to sleep with Amelia." Owen said.
"I don't know if that's the best idea, but if you want, i am not holding you back."
"I want to, i need to, she will be my wife soon, i need to be there every step of the way." Meredith smiled softly and nodded her head.
"Okay, now you said that, i think you indeed need to be there for here, go." Meredith said and Owen returned the smile and stood up and walked upstairs towards Amelia's old room and opened the door and saw Amelia sleeping on her back. He kept his clothes on and laid down besides her, his nose immediatly came in contact with the alcohol smell. He let it go and wrapped his arms around Amelia trying not to wake her up, he didn't know what to think of Amelia, should he get mad or not? He let it go and slowly drifted of to sleep.

Author's POV
Amelia sighed and tried to sit up, she felt a strong pair of arms leaving her body and she knew exaclty who those arms belong to, those arms where always around her when she slept with Owen.
She looks besides her and saw Owen peacefully sleeping.
What was he doing here? What the hell happend? She needed answers.
Owen slowly stirred when he felt movement besides him and slowly woke up. He looked besides him and saw Amelia sitting on the edge of the bed, he also sat up and moved his hand to her shoulder which made Amelia squel.
"Shhh, calm down it's me." Owen said trying to calm Amelia down who was about to have a mental breakdown.
"I-I'm so sorry." Amelia's back was still facing Owen, she was scared.
"Shhh, Amelia look at me." Amelia shook her head.
"No! Owen, i drank alcohol, you need to be furious!"
"Amelia, look at me!" Finally Amelia turned around and faced Owen, she saw the soft look on his face and immediatly calmed down, 'he was not mad?' Amelia thought.
"You're not mad?" Amelia looked in his eyes.
Owen shook his head.
"I am not mad, just dissapointed, i thought you were stronger, Amelia." Amelia looked down, ashamed.
"I'm not strong, i am a addict Owen."
"NO! Amelia stop it! You were a addict! Do you want more alcohol? Be honest." Owen made Amelia look at him and looked in her eyes.
"No." Amelia answered honest. She really didn't want more, she was done with it.
"Look Amelia, you scared me to death yesterday, but i can't be mad at you, because i got drunk too, but if you promise me to never drink it, not even touch a bottle, can you promise me that?"
"Owen we are not the same, you can get drunk because you are not addicted, i am."
"You was addicted Amelia! If you 'relapsed' you would drink now, are you? No! Are you thinking about alcohol?" Amelia shook her head.
"See? You are strong enough Amelia, but yesterday you were at your weakest, we lost our child."
Owen eyes began to tear up when he thought what they went trough yesterday.
Amelia looked at Owen and nodded her head, she believed yesterday was a one-time thing, she didn't need alcohol, she needed Owen.
She saw his eyes filling with tears, which made burst out of crying and she let herself fall into Owen's arms. They cried in each other arms.
"Y-You don't to end our engagement?" Amelia let out between her sobs. Owen oulled them out of the hug and looked at her, he removed her tears from her eyes.
"No, why would i? Each couple has their ups and downs, i will be there every single step of the way, if you want it or not, i'll be there." Owen kissed her lips and embraced her in a hug again.

Owen and Amelia talked for another hour, they needed a good talk.
When they finished Amelia knew she had to apologize to Meredith and thank her, she walked downstairs and saw Meredith in the kitchen preparing a meal.
"Mer." Amelia walked in the kitchen and saw Meredith turning around, looking at her.
"I am so so sorry." Amelia teared up again, Meredith walked to Amelia and embraced her in a long strong hug.
"Sshhh, don't cry." Meredith rubbed Amelia's back to calm her down.
"I am not mad, why would i? I get drunk more often and i know you have to carry me to my room, so i returned the favor, but i don't want to see you drunk anymore, okay? You're even weirder then me." Amelia nodded her head and slowly let out a laugh.
"I will never touch it again, i was at a very low point yesterday."
"Yes you were, but i am so proud of you."
"Proud? Why? Because i got drunk?" Amelia asked in a confused tone.
"What!? No! I am proud because you don't want alcohol anymore, you didn't relapse because you are so strong, i admire you for that, please don't quit being strong." Meredith smiled when she saw Amelia's face lit up.
"You and Owen are the reason that i didn't relapse, thankyou so much Meredith, i love you." Amelia hugged Meredith again and she felt Meredith hugging her back.
"I love you too, Amelia." Meredith said still hugging Amelia.
She was so proud of Amelia.
