Amelia's pov

I haven't heard from AJ in a couple of days. I'm starting to get a bit worried about her. I hope I hear from her soon as I'm due to go home tomorrow. I will admit I didn't speak to her at first because I was jealous. I wasn't jealous of her as such it was more I was jealous of Mark and Jackson. Yeah, I'm finally admitting it to myself. I like AJ, I really like AJ. She is beautiful and funny. I wish I could be the one to help her through everything but I have to go home to LA. I spoke to Derek about her and we got confirmation from Joe that she had been drinking every day. From what I heard Joe had stopped serving her alcohol a few days ago and she hadn't been drinking there since, but that didn't stop her from still drinking. He told Derek she was still stumbling back to her room each night. It's now 11 am so I thought I would go check on her.

Amelia. Hey Joe, is AJ here?

Joe. Yeah, she is up in her room, go straight up.

Amelia. Thanks, Joe.

Joe. Oh, Amelia. She was pretty drunk again last night.

Amelia. Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

I went straight up and knocked on her door but there was no response. Her door was unlocked, I knew I shouldn't just walk in but I couldn't stop myself, what if she was hurt? What if she was sick in the night? I know I'm probably overthinking it but I still walk in knocking as I open the door.

Amelia. Hello? AJ?

Walking in I firstly see multiple empty bottles of alcohol everywhere. I then saw AJ spread out in her bed, laying on her front completely naked with only her sheet covering her lower half. Across her back was scratches I'm guessing from the most recent person she slept with. They looked fresh probably from last night. My guesses were confirmed by a good looking blonde coming out of the bathroom.

Tracy. Oh, hi. Umm... I better go.

Amelia. Yeah.

Tracy. Should I leave her my number?

Amelia. Better not, I doubt she would call you.

Tracy. Oh... Okay.

I know she might've called her back but I don't want that to happen. Part of me misses LA but I wish I could stay here with AJ just to help her through this. I went over to her bed and gently woke her up.

Amelia. Hey... Wake up.

AJ. Mmm... Oh, hey Amy. Where have you been?

Amelia. I've been working on a case with Derek but it's finished now. I have to fly home tomorrow. So. I was hoping we could hang out today.

AJ. That would be great.

AJ then moved in the bed turning so she was sat up. I turned away quickly as she wasn't covered up.

AJ laughed. What? We are both females.

Amelia. Just being polite.

AJ. Oh, Amelia.

I love the way she says my name and she is the only person, other than Derek I don't mind calling me Amy.

AJ. Come sit down. I'll get dressed and we can go for breakfast.

Amelia. It's practically lunchtime.

AJ. So we have a lunch date then.

Did she just call it a date? Wake up Amelia you need to try to help her not try to sleep with her. I watch her as she gets up off of the bed wearing only a pair of panties. Wow, she has an amazing figure.

AJ. Amy, you okay?

Amelia. Shit... Yeah, I'm fine.

AJ smirking. Like what you see?

Amelia. No... I mean yeah... I mean sorry your... lovely.

AJ laughed. Your funny Amy... I won't be a minute. I need to shower.

Amelia. Okay.

Fuck, why was I just staring at her like that? Stupid Amelia, it's never going to happen. I can't let anything happen. She isn't in the right frame of mind.

Later that afternoon

AJ's pov

We had a nice time at lunch, we decided on going to the diner by the hospital. We both had a burger and fries with a caramel latte, Amelia and I are so alike. Apparently, Derek was right. I am going to miss Amelia when she goes home tomorrow. It's a shame she couldn't stay. I can see us being more than friends, I mean she is pretty hot. Amelia came back to my room after lunch.

AJ. Ooo Amy. Let's go for a drink. I know you don't drink but we could still have a good time.

Amelia; I don't think that is a good idea.

AJ. Why not?

Amelia. You have been drinking a lot and it's not good for you.

AJ. Alright Arizona.

Amelia. I didn't mean it like that. I'm just worried about you. It's like you have gone from one addiction to another. You've been drunk every night this week.

AJ. And? I can handle my drink.

Amelia. We all think you can't. Maybe go a day without drinking

AJ. You sound just like her and to think I was starting to like you.

Amelia. I thought we were friends anyway.

AJ. That's not what I mean.

Amelia nervously. Then what do you mean?

I couldn't hold it back anymore. I grabbed onto her waist and pushed her back onto my bed. Connecting our lips in the most passionate of kisses. The kiss felt like it lasted for ages and she was kissing me back. I felt her tongue massaging my own. I leant up on my elbow and looked into her eyes.

Amelia awkwardly laughed. I've been wanting that for a while.

AJ. Yeah?

Amelia. Yes. I like you... A lot

AJ. You do? Even with my fucked up life.

Amelia placed her hand on my cheek and I leant into it.

Amelia. If your life is fucked up then so is mine. Please let me help you.

I leant down to kiss her again and mid-kiss I broke down into tears. Everything from the past few months came crashing into reality. I pulled out of the kiss and just cried into Amelia's shoulder while she held me tightly.

AJ. I can't... I... I need help and your leaving me.

Amelia stroked my hair. Come with me. I have friends there who can help you, I trust them with my life. I can be there for you too.

AJ. Amy... I... I don't know.
