Abby walked into the residents lounge as she saw Ellie as she lay asleep on the couch and frowned as she looked to her

"You slept here?" Abby asked as Ellie jumped awake

"I'm awake.What?" Ellie said as she sat up as Abby stood with her coffee

"You slept here? I slept here."

"Uh, how? Wait, who, what?" Ellie said as Abby rolled her died

"I slept in the on-call room. I could've been at home in my own bed." Abby said as she sat on the seat

"Sorry."

"Now I have to work all day, And then I have to be happy bridesmaid and my brother is getting married today I'm so tired ... because I slept here, Because you wanted to get your freak on with mcsteamy" Abby said as Ellie looked to her as she sat redressing into her scrubs

"I am sorry.I was gonna, but ... We went to dinner and ... things didn't ... I wasn't in the mood.I had to be here early anyway to run the ER, so ... " Ellie said

"Oh, you're ... you're picking up extra shifts in the ER?
So is, uh, is Owen not here today?" Abby asked

"Oh, he's here. Oh, crap. I'm late." Ellie said as she rushed out of the room as Meredith walked in

"Well if it isn't the bride to be" Abby said as she stood up

"Don't do that.Don't do the peppy bridemaid thing. It's creepy." Meredith said

"Really? Good.Wait, is this, like, the calm before the storm?
Do you need me to drug you or shave off your eyebrows to numb you into submission? Your not going to freak out and go full Meredith on my brother are you as I will kick your ass" Abby said as she took a sip of her coffee

"No, I'm fine.It's not the biggest day of my life.It's the biggest day of Izzie's life.I'm excited about the marriage, not some wedding. Anyway, she's the one who's gone all bridezilla." Meredith said

"Bridezilla." Abby chuckled

Abby stood on the balcony that overlooked the front of the hospital as she felt someone stand next to her and looked to see Owen and smiled. The two of them looked to each other and held a look

"How's it going with your shrink?" Abby asked

"Um, I'm doing better ... Inch by inch.Progress is slow." He said as he placed his hand next to her so that they were almost touching. Abby called her eyes and took a breath. She knew that she missed his touch. She missed him but she was also scared after every that had happened

"It was your ceiling fan, above your bed ... The blades spinning like the blades of a chopper. Um, my shrink said that was the trigger to me, um ... Choking you." He said as she looked to him shocked. She couldn't help but feel guilty that her fan had caused this. Had caused him to choke her

"Oh" Abby said. She didn't know what to say as he brushed his finger against hers as she took a breath and pulled away. She couldn't fall into his touch as she wound end up back in his arms and that was something she couldn't do

"You know, we should probably get going" Abby said as she walked off

Abby knew that she kissed Owen and as hard as it was how she couldn't go there with him not her. He needed to get help and she was still so scared to let him touch her as all she could think over was his hands around her neck choking the life out of her and that sent her into a panic
