Dear Derek

Chapter 48 (Amelia)

note this chapter mentions guns toward the end. if this triggers u i highly suggest u don't read this pt!

We had been in L.A. for about two weeks. I kept in touch with Seattle. Link had been living in a hotel room with the kids and Maggie. Teddy had flown back home to help with construction plans for the hospital. Jackson hired a body guard to watch the hotel where Link and Maggie were staying just in case something happened. Jo texted me everyday with updates on the FBI. There was nothing. There had been no sign of Kover and Henthworth since the explosion.

On day seventeen I was in the lobby of the practice. The renovations were going quicker than expected. Charlotte walked out of Meredith and Derek's room. She grabbed her coffee sitting on the front desk and sat next to me. She leaned over to see what I was doing. I turned my phone off and looked at her. She took a seat right next to me. "Well I though I would never see you again after you ran away." she laughed.

"I didn't run away." I mumbled.

"What was that?" she asked.

"I said I didn't run away."

"Yes you did." James proposed and you ran."

"Okay so I ran. What's the big deal. I'm happy now. I have a great boyfriend. I have a kid. I work with the best people ever."

"Amelia. I'm happy for you. I'm not mad you left because your finally in such a good place. I'm just upset because you didn't say goodbye." she said.

"Charlotte I had no idea..."

"Amelia, you were my best friend, in fact you still are. I love you so much and I only want happiness for you, but you just left and you didn't even keep in touch. I missed you everyday."

"I'm so sorry Charlotte. I thought running away would save me from making bad decisions again."

"Well did it?"

"No. I still made a bunch of bad ones." I laughed.

I turned to Charlotte and told her about how I married Owen and how Teddy or as Charlotte calls her "blondie" got pregnant neigh his kid after I told him to chase after her. She seemed so invested. She also told me about her life and how the Mason was graduating this year and the cooptuplets where in 1st grade. She was so excited that Mason was going into medicine.

We talked for what felt like hours. Then I heard the elevator ding. I turned and saw Addison, Jake, Violet, Cooper exit the elevator. When Violet saw me she ran over and hugged me so tight. She was so happy to see me. "What are you all doing here?" I asked.

"Well we were wondering if we could take you to lunch?" Cooper smiled.

"Well I can't go. I have to stay with Meredith and Derek."

"They are fine, Amelia. It has been almost three weeks. They are stable, walking around, and cuddling with each other in every spare moment they have." Charlotte laughed.

"You think they will be okay here by themselves?"

"Amelia they aren't five." Addison replied.

"Fine I'll go let them know and I'll ask them if they want me to bring them anything back." I said.

"Okay, we'll meet you outside." Violet smiled.

I walked inside and got an order from Derek and Meredith. I grabbed my coat and headed downstairs. I walked out the door. Addison locked it behind us and we headed down the street for lunch. 

We sat for around two hours catching up and enjoying the hot weather. My phone was ringing throughout lunch, so I just put it on vibrate.

When we were walking back from the restaurant I noticed Jo had called me more than twenty times. I noticed there was a voicemail left by her. I put the phone up to my ear and listened. "Amelia this is urgent. Henthworth and Kover called me back. They have been laying low trying to pin point the location of these people. They wanted to keep it  secret so we wouldn't panic. They found the two suspects. The last known location of them was the LAX airport around noon today which was about an hour ago. Please call me back Amelia!"

I went to dial Jo back when I realized Addison was standing right in front of the practice door. "What's wrong Addison?" I asked.

"The door. I locked it before we left. The door is unlocked." she replied, her hands shaking.

My heart stopped. I pulled the door open and ran upstairs. Addison chased after me. I ran into Meredith and Derek's room. Standing right in front of me was a man pointing a gun to Derek's head while Meredith was tired to one of the chairs from the waiting room.
