Meant to Be

Chapter 30

Amelia Pov:

- "Today I will have to leave alone for some time I have to go to the hospital for a while. I have a craniotomy to perform. Can you do it?"- I asked Grey from next to her.

- "Yes, Mom"- she said jokingly.

- "I'm serious. I would feel lonely, in such a big city, without anyone, except for some random chick I met in a bar" - I replied ironically.

- "Hey! You are not accidental to me! I love spending time with you! You make this trip pleasant for me!"

- "Thanks, thanks, you don't have to praise me so much,"- I thanked modestly. - "But I would feel like Kevin alone in New York, where the only person he could trust was a pigeon-overgrown granny."

- "Don't even compare yourself to her!" - she shouted indignantly.

- "I am not even trying! But come on, you're like Kevin. Only your parents didn't lost you hah"

- "Knowing my dad, it must have happened once"- she replied, and we both laughed.

- "Derek lost me once at festival. I've never seen him so worried. But more than about me, he was worried about what our mother would do" - I confessed with a big smile on my face.

- "How's your relationship with your parents? I am asking out of total curiosity. If you don't want to talk, I will understand" - asked the brunette.

- "Uhh, as you know, we have a lot of siblings. There are five of us and we are divided into such groups. Me and Derek, as long as our father was alive, we had much better contact with him than with our mother. Our sisters are the other way around. After his death, everything changed. Derek tried to support each of us. Only on my part it was a bit different. My brother has always been there for me, but ..." - I started feeling tears welling up in my eyes - "But I never had a great relationship with my mother. I didn't really deal with the death of my dad who was always there for me and Derek. Probably I am the only person, that still haven't come out of it. I became after this difficult child, then I became addicted and didn't have that man's hand to support me. Derek left for college, my sisters, whom I honestly don't like, have started to start families as well, and my mother has had enough of me. If it weren't for the fact that I came to LA, I probably wouldn't be there anymore."

- "I'm so sorry to lose your dad. I felt terrible after losing my mom. Although it was different for me. My parents, mainly my dad, did not want his daughters to be absorbed in work. You know or not, Meredith's mom was a workaholic, which ruined their marriage to some extent. My mother knew it perfectly well." - Grey began to tell. - "That's why she quit her job, at least until my sister and I went to school. My dad wanted us to start a big family as soon as possible. So when Molly got pregnant, I was removed, I was at Harvard so that's understandable. But Molly quickly packed her bags and left with her husband after Mom died. And I was left with an alcohol-addicted father."

- "I feel very sorry for you" - I confessed my condolences.

- "Thank you. The worst part is that I'll always be this bad daughter. Even though I can stand his mood, that I shop for him, Lexie is still bad. Because Lexie doesn't have a husband and kids, because Lexie works all day. Because why be interested in what makes her happy. There is no such need, it has to be as he wants and that's it." - She said - " Ahh, when I think about it, I don't feel like coming back, when I have to listen to it all again."

- "Come here,"- she said and I hugged my friend.

We were sitting like that for a while when I suddenly noticed a person I had never expected in LA, at least not now. I can't believe this is really ...
