Abby lay in bed. She couldn't sleep. She knew all that she could think over was the last time that she did sleep that owens hands were around her throat and she hated it. She hated that she kissed him. Ellie walked into the room and looked to her

"Come on miss depressive you can't lie in bed moping over the man that choked you. You need to get up and try and deal with it. Your brother is getting married be happy for him" Ellie said

"I am happy for him but he's erm married before. It's no big deal" Abby said as Ellie looked to her and sighed

"I know it's hard but this isn't helping come on" ellie said as Abby nodded. She knew that she felt down and how she wanted to lie in bed and cry but she knew that she had to go to work. Abby knew that she missed Owen but she knew that she ended it for a reason and she knew how she had to take care of herself

Abby got to work and stood in the lift. She knew that she was trying to focus on work and what was best. She saw Owen as she looked out of the lift. The two of them held a look as she pressed the button and sighed

Abby leant back against the lift and sighed. She felt a tear roll down her face. She hated this. She hated what had happened with them and she hated how much that she missed him and she hated that when she closed her eyes she felt it again. His hands on her throat again

Abby knew it was all too much

•••
Owen sat in therapy and sighed. He didn't know why he was there but he knew he had to be there for Abby. He wanted to get her back and he needed help. He couldn't put himself in a position where he ended up choking her again

"I don't feel anything." Owen said

"Nothing?"

"No anger?Happiness?Unhappiness?Guilt?
Survivor's guilt?You know, it's very common with veterans." Dr wyatt said

"It's not about my platoon." Owen said.

LYou have shoved your feelings aside for so long.
I'm asking you to claim them. And, owen ... this is about your platoon."

"it's about the fact that I tried to choke my girlfriend to death.What, are you saying the way I feel about my platoon and the way I feel about what hapned with Abby are the same? They're not the same." Owen said

"Well, how will you know if you can't name those feelings?"

"That's not what it's ... it's ... I don't know." Owen said. He knew that he just wanted to get better. He hated how things were without Abby shepherd

Abby walked down the hallway with Ellie who was stuffing her face with potatoe chips and frowned as she looked to her

"Have you not eaten or something" Abby asked as she looked to Ellie who was feeding her face

"I'm just hungry that's all" Ellie said as Abby raised an eyebrow at her and sighed

"Is this to do with derek and mark. Are they still not speaking" Abby asked as Ellie shock her head and sighed

"My brother is stubborn and so is mark, it will be fine. You don't need to anxiously eat everything in site it will be okay" Abby said as Ellie sighed
