just to clarify the covid does not exist in this story

•still amelia pov •
After about 2 hours and 30 minutes of flight we finally landed and I didn't even have the courage to turn on my phone because I was afraid of the message I would receive.
I took a cab and went to the practice and was so excited to see everyone again Naomi, Sam, Sheldon, Coop, Charlotte and of course Addison and Jake and their son Henri. I missed them so much, they are like family to me and talking to them on the phone is just too hard.
I enter the elevator and press 5 when the doors reopen all the memories come back to me the good ones as well as the bad ones but without lying it feels good to come back here I feel at home!
I went to the kitchen and that's where I saw it even after 8 years nothing had changed...
They were all laughing and that's when I came in! They all looked at me in shock and a few seconds later I was greeted by hundreds of hugs and kisses gosh I missed them so much!

•addison pov•
Amelia is here whaouuu it's weird I missed her so much more than two years without seeing her it's too long the last time I saw her she came on vacation in LA with Owen Betty and little Leo but from what she tells us on the phone things have changed a lot since then .
If she's here it's because something must have happened I look at her and she seems happy but I know there's something wrong after all she's my little sister I've known her since she was 6 so I know her very well.
After that we all talked with her for a long time and I said "you can stay at my place if you want" and she said "of course I miss your crazy beach house" we all laughed and it was so nice to have her with us again.
After more than an hour of talking I ended up grabbing Amelia Naomi and Charlotte by the arm we needed to have a girl talk

•back to amelia pov•
After Addie took me by the arm I knew she knew something was wrong.
We were all sitting in her office and she was waiting for me to talk but in the end she started it! « OK you can fool whoever you want but not me I know very well that if you are here it is because something is wrong so talk to us! »she said I sighed and started...
"OK so as you already know I've been with link for 2 years now and last night he asked me to marry him and I don't know why I couldn't answer and I panicked and run away again like always !
« I know you're lying you know why you left stop lying and tell us the truth »Charlotte said. I sighed again and say « I wish I could but you gonna judge me and say I'm crazy»
The three of them just look at me in shock...
«us » naomi starts « if someone is never gonna judge you it's us , we are here for you,you can trust us Amelia we are your family,your safe place »
I look at her and start « I don't even know where to start, first of all I got pregnant and I realized that maybe not Link was the father but maybe Owen and I know it's horrible but I was happy. I realized that maybe Link wasn't the father but maybe Owen and I know that's horrible but I was happy and I thought that because of that I would always be in contact with him and we would always be connected and that made me happy but at the same time I didn't want to hurt Link and in the end he was the father so everything went according to plan and I listened to people who said that we were made for each other and I believed them.
But then scout was born and it was great we were happy but even after months of separation I was still thinking about owen sometimes I was dreaming about him and even though I was with link I couldn't get him out of my head I don't know why but I still love him so when Link proposed I panicked because even though Owen was with teddy and I was with Link a part of me still hoped that we would find a way to get back together like we always did.
So if I marry Link it will be over for real .I'll be his forever when in reality I want to be Owen's » I said without realizing that I was crying
-« amelia » addie said and hug me
-« You know I'm honest and I'll be honest with you,Link was not made for you it was boring! Believe me or not not accepting his proposal is one of the best decisions of your life. You and Owen love each other so stay in LA for as long as you need to and then go back to Seattle and stop all this Link stuff and get the man you love back »Charlotte said
-« but he is with Teddy » I said
-« who cares fight for him and I know he loves you and he would choose you 1000 times over teddy ! don't be stupid it's obvious that he is still into you » addie said
-« How can you be sure! » I said
-«Because otherwise he wouldn't be texting me every minute since you got here»
- «What !! show me » I said and grab her phone
I turned it on and it was true there were about 10 messages from owen I read the first one and it said "hey addie sorry to bother you but amelia is gone I got off the phone with meredith and she is gone I am so worried about her please tell me she is with you"
After that I kept reading and what was written made me smile because he still cared about me!
It said "addison answer me tell me she's ok I need to know where she is it's driving me crazy not knowing! I'm taking the first plane to LA".
I don't want him to be worried so I told him myself
-« it's me don't worry everything is fine I need time away from everything»
I looked up and had a smile on my face even though deep down it would hurt even more to know that he cared about me because I didn't know if it was in love or in friendship.
Naomi came up to me and took my hand.
-"Like Addison said, this is your home and you can stay here as long as you want, but don't waste time with Owen, don't make the same mistake I did with Sam! Life is short and you deserve to spend it with the man you love," she said.
I looked at her and took her in my arms at the same time the phone rang and it was a message from Owen "I'm so relieved you're okay you scared me! But I want you to call me when you have time and when you feel ready don't forget that
I smiled and wrote "thank you and I will »
I looked up and all three of them were looking at me and finally said, "See, he still cares about you or he wouldn't react like that »
-« I hope you are right »
After that we went back to addie's house and walked on the beach where 2 years ago I was walking with Owen!

•flashback•
•Owen pov•
It feels so good to be on vacation especially with Amelia she is the one who suggested that we go to Los Angeles so she could see her friends again but seriously this place is beautiful it's been three days since we've been here and I've been able to meet all her friends they're amazing like her!
It's sunset time and Addison told us she was watching Betty and Leo so we could go walk on the beach just her and me it feel so good to be with her I was so in love...we were walking hand in hand and the sun was reflecting on her face she was stunning. She saw that I was staring at her so she turned around and looked at me and said
- "what are you looking at here".
-"You" I said.
She blushed and leaned over and kissed me and I put my hands around her and hugged her.
-« don't you dare think about throwing me into the water »she said
-« mhh now you give me an idea »I said and pick her up bridal style
-« nooooo Owen »she scream but it didn't stop me
I ran to the water and threw us into the sea! She laughed and kissed me again I kissed her back.Gosh I love her so much but I never found the courage to said it to her I don't know why because I really mean it
We stayed like that playing in the waves, hugging and kissing for over an hour before heading back to Addie and our kids

•back to reality •
When I was walking by the water with Addie I remembered all our memories with Owen and I realized that I had to break up with Link even though I might never be able to get back with Owen. I'd rather spend the rest of my life alone than in a relationship with someone who's not Owen
