Amezona Roommates

MEREDITHS POV

The past few days have been hell. Derek and Arizona have been at each others throats. I mean honestly, Derek started it. He said something to Arizona at work about her using Amelia and they've been fighting ever since. I think if she wasn't dating Amelia he would have kicked her out of the house. I felt bad because we cancelled Amelia's birthday dinner because of their disagreement. I told Amelia her and I can go out to dinner, because if we just brought one of them with us it would cause an even bigger argument. It was honestly exhausting.

Amelia and I sat down at dinner and she looked at the menu. We ordered and got some drinks and Amelia looked at her phone.

"Thanks for still coming out with me," she said.

"Of course," I said, "I'm sorry it couldn't be all four of us."

"It's okay," Amelia shrugged.

"They'll work things out," I reassured her.

"I don't know," Amelia said, "I'd rather not talk about it."

ARIZONAS POV
Living with Derek was getting to be exhausting. He was pissed at me. He probably hated me. Meredith uninvited us to Amelia's birthday dinner which honestly really hurt. He was starting to get in the way of my relationship and it was frustrating. I walked downstairs and Lexie was working on something on her laptop in the kitchen.

"Hey," she said.

"Hi," I said, "what are you working on?"

"Looking at some scans," she said, "I'm scrubbing in on Derek's surgery tomorrow." She was a little younger than the rest of us so she wasn't a resident yet.

"That's cool," I said. I heard the front door slam closed and I figured it was Derek. The slam was far too angry for it to be Amelia and Meredith coming back from dinner. Derek walked in the kitchen and froze when he saw me. I didn't say anything and started making a late night snack.

"You know it's your fault we didn't get to go to dinner," Derek said. I sighed and looked at him. Lexie got up and took her laptop in the other room.

"It's MY fault?" I said.

"Yes it's your fault," he said.

"You're the one who starts every single fight Derek," I said, "I had no problem with you when I started dating Amelia. I liked you even. Now you're just downright frustrating."

"Then why do you still argue with me?" He snapped, "If you hate me so much." I felt so angry and turned the stove off and turned around and looked at him.

"Because I love her Derek!" I yelled at him, "Don't you see that? I love her so much that I will stand here and argue with you every night because it means I can go upstairs and sleep next to her every night. I tolerate your side remarks to me and glances because I want to be with her. I tolerate you arguing with me at work because I'd rather you argue with me than argue with her. I love her Derek. I love her more than any woman I've been with. She makes me feel all these feelings and leaves me feeling like a dumb teenager with a middle school crush. She is the person I could see myself being with forever even though I've only known her for four months. Shes the person I think of every morning and I'm even more grateful that I can fall asleep next to her every night. I tolerate your bullshit because I love her more than anything in the world. I probably love her more than I love myself." I stormed out of the kitchen and saw Amelia and Meredith standing frozen at the doorway. Shit. I just yelled about how much I love Amelia before telling her.

"How was dinner?" I said weakly.

"You love me?" Amelia asked.

"Of course I love you," I said, "How could I not?"

"I love you too," she smiled. I walked over to her and wrapped her in a hug. I kissed the side of her head and squeezed her extra tight.

"Was dinner good?" I asked.

"Yeah," Meredith said.

"I brought you some leftover dessert," Amelia smiled. I kissed her forehead and Meredith walked into the kitchen.

"Can we go upstairs?" I asked.

"Yeah," Amelia said. We walked into our room and I closed the door behind me.

"I am so sorry that is the first time I've told you I've loved you I mean I've known it from the second I met you but I just feel so much love for you that I had to tell Derek he was being an ass and I didn't know you were there and I don't regret saying it but I regret not telling you first," I rambled.

"You talking about how much you love me was adorable," Amelia smiled, "and honestly, quite hot."

"Yeah?" I chuckled.

"I love you," I said gently as I pushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

"And I love you," she smiled.
