Owen and Amelia

Bruises

Amelia: POV

it didn't look like me..... When I saw my face in the mirror I looked like I got into a fight or something. I sighed, my head throbbed and my leg felt like someone was repeatively stabbing it.

"How are you feeling?" owen asked.

"I'm feeling like we can't stay in this small trailer forever," I say, "where will we go after the baby is born?"

"hey we don't have to think about that right now," he says and just then the door flings open and in comes Meredith.

"I was worried about you," she said coming over to the foot of the bed.

"how did you know I'd-" I say getting interupted.

"the whole hospital knows you and owen," she says stopping before saying something awkward.

"damn this hospital is worse than high school," owen groans.

"agreed," I say sitting up in bed.

"well I'm gonna go, so i hope you feel better Amelia," Meredith said walking out. I wanted to drink or take a pill Because now my whole life is like a reality tv show and I'm I have to heal and I won't be able to work for awhile.

" I need to go to a meeting," I say to owen. He knods. he then helps me get ready to leave.

when we get there he wheels me Inside. people stared at me but quickly looked away trying not to "offend" me. I listened to people talk and I noticed Owen kept looking back at me like he wanted to make sure I was ok. When it was my turn to speak Owen wheeled me up a ramp to be in front of a room full of people. I didnt even know where to start.

"My brother died. I guess I should just put him on the long list of people I cared about who died, that list is longer than the people who are still alive. And now you're probably waiting for the part when I explain to you how I ended up being wheeled up here. I fell... I guess thats what people say to lie out of injuries but I fell. I was physically attempting to run away from my problems and then when I finally came around, everyone in my work knows about me. They know my past and all I wanted to do today was have a drink. I worked so hard on putting myself together and trying to move past it but it's like peter pans shadow, Wendy keeps sewing it back on. but I'm here right now and that's all that matters," I say and everyone applauds. owen then wheeled me off.

"wanna go home?" He asked when the next person got up to talk making everyone's attention to what they were saying. I could still see a few people staring at me for what? do I really look injured?

"yeah, I wanna leave," I say and we get into the car.
