Will this turn into something more? {Omelia}

2: Talk it out

'Amelia?' I heard him say. 'Yes.' I answered quickly. I wonder if he was still mad at me. 'I'll go.' He said. 'No, wait.' Dammit, why did I say this. He turned around as I sat up on the bed. 'I feel like I owe you an explanation, Owen. We've known each other for some time now and...' At this time, he already sat down next to me and looked me in the eyes. 'You don't owe me one. If you do not want to talk about it, you don't have to.' He sighed as he put his hand on my shoulder and tried to get up. 'But I want to.' I said softly and touched his hand. 'Oh. Alright.' He sat back down again and looked concerned.
'So... I used to take pills. I have been sober for a long time now, and I'm happy about it. It honestly haunts me wherever I go, and the sad thing is that I cannot change it. I know that I'm a risk but...' 'We're all a risk, Amelia.'
'Are we...' I said. 'For sure, come here.' He hugged me as a tear rolled down my face. He wiped it away. 'I'm so glad you actually told this.' I had to be honest to him. 'Me too. I really like you, Owen. Thank you for always being there for me.' I smiled. 'Awe, you're amazing, I hope you know that.' His pager went off. 'Oh god, I have to run. 911.' He said as he stood up. 'Good luck.' I quickly said. 'Thanks.' He ran out of the door.
Oh god, I told him that I liked him... It just came out of nowhere. I was so comforted by him, now I know what I feel. Because I actually do feel something. I haven't figured it all out.

Owen's POV:
As I arrived at the room I got paged to, I immediatly started to reanimate the patient.
'How long has he been coding for?'
'Two minutes and 45 seconds.' The nurse told me. 'Okay. Common, please, let me get a heartbeat...' I said. I'm so scared to lose patients, it's crazy. I have seen so many people die in front of me during war but sometimes they can not be helped anymore. Now we can actually do something. After another minute of heartmassaging the machine gave a beep. There were peaks again. Thank the lord. 'Okay, you may take it over now, check his stats every half hour and let me know if there's something I need to know.'
'Will do.' The nurse said friendly.
Every time I reanimate someone I think of that one time we saved the life of this one mother... Her daughter had to reanimate her and we had to help the girl trough the phone. It was the only thing we could do. Me, Richard and Amelia sang 'stayin' alive' trough the phone to help the girl out a little bit. She had to massage on the beat of the song. So every time I have to do this, I listen to the beautiful voice of Amelia in my head. Crazy? I don't think so.
I got back to my office to fill in some paperwork and prepared for my next surgery. Callie was scrubbing in with me because this patient also had bone damage. We were doing both our procedures at the same time, just to save time. We did not want the patient to have two seperate surgeries either. It would be very painful for him. We stepped in the OR and got ready. 'Scalpel' I said and made the first cut into the persons body. After that Callie started her thing. The surgery went pretty smoothly. 'How's it going over there?' Callie asked me.
'Oh, fine, just fine, and there.'
'Pretty good I must say, I am sure he will be able to walk again after this surgery. Obviously he will need a long revalidation but that is always the case.'
'I am sure he won't mind. He will be thrilled to hear that. We form a good team, Torres.'
'Yeah we do.'
I am not the kind of person that has tons of friends but Callie is for sure one of them. I know that I can count on her.
'So, I am done over here.' I said.
'I have got like five minutes more to go, I believe.'
'Can I help or should I scrubb out?' I asked to be kind.
'Oh, no, I can handle this on my own. Thanks.'
I nodded and scrubbed out. Thankfully because this Amelia thing was really on my mind. I care so much about her, it's funny.
I seemed to think about her too much because whilst walking down the stairs, I tripped and fell. Just a few steps down but it still did not feel good. I had hit my head against the wall, which really hurt. 'Dammit!' I think I might have a sprained ankle. Shit. Suddenly and sadly I heard someone walking down the stairs.
'Owen!' I heard Meredith say. But I fainted.

I woke up again a little bit later in a hospitalbed.
'Owen!' I heard a voice say softly. I recognised it. It was Amelia.
'Hey, what happened to me?'
'You fell down the stairs, almost sprained your ankle and fainted. Oh and I had to suture the wound you have on your head. How do you feel?' She asked curiously whilst I lifted my arm and touched the suture softly.
'Okay, I guess.' I sighed. 'Ugh, this is so stupid.'
'It's not stupid! It happens, Owen.'
'Thank you.' I sighed.
'Why?'
I could have said that I thought that it was so sweet of her to care so much but I did not.
'For the suture.' I got popped back into reality.
'Hey, I had nothing to do, and that's my job.' She giggled, put her hand on my shoulder and I laughed.
'So, when will I be able to work again. In a few hours?'
'No, no, as a doctor yourself, you should know this. The administration will already take a while and you have to rest. You might have a concussion. One that does not hurt a lot.'
I sighed. 'Thanks again.'
'You're welcome.' Darling. She thought and went to her next surgery.
I could go home at night already after Amelia cleared me. I had no concussion, just a headache and a big scar on my forehead. Thankfully.

Amelia's POV:
I am so glad that I got to take care of Owen. Meredith had a surgery so she asked if I could do the suture and look at his CT, which did not show a concussion. He was very lucky, normally it would have taken a while to send him home but I quickly filled out the paperwork, because you know, he's my friend and I cannot deny my feelings for him. From day to day they became stronger. I bet Owen just sees me as a friend.
This night, I was on call.
'Amelia?' It was Meredith.
'Hey.' I said as I got up from the bed I was lying on, in the hallway. 'Also on call?' I asked.
'Yes, but what I wanted to ask. How's Owen? Wanted to visit him today but because of all my surgeries I had no time.'
I could see that she regretted not going to see him. She really cared for him. She once told me that Cristina asked her to protect him. It's kind of weird because she has been gone for a while but anyways. Mer is a good friend to me and to him.
'He's fine. At first I thought he had a minor concussion but that turned out to be nothing. Just a headache and some bruises. Oh and I had to suture on his forehead a little.'
'Oh, yeah I saw that. He fell with his head against the wall.'
'Well, that must've hurt.' I got a page.
'You have to go?' She asked.
'Yes. To the ER.' Not many seconds later Mer also got a page to the ER and whilst going there we ran into all the other residents and attendings.
'What's going on?' I heard Alex ask Bailey.
'Major problems guys. A lot of people will be in the ER, so focus. Mostly there will be trauma's, it will be burnvictims. There was a fire, in a few minutes there will be a flood of patients here. The first ambulance will be here in 5 minutes, so get ready.'
We got changed into our ERscrubs and stood ready to wait for the coming ambulances. Everyone was here. Kepner, Torres, Pierce, Meredith, Alex, Arizona, me and almost all the other surgeons.
I quickly heard the first sirene, and suddenly a lot more. It had been a while since there had been so many patients in the hospital.
The first ambulance arrived and Alex ran to it. 'What do we have?' He asked.
'Female, 45, major burns and heartrate is low.'
'Alright, she has to go have surgery right away. Book an OR for me, will you?' He said to a nurse and quickly ran to the OR to scrub in.
A few other ambulances had arrived but I was still waiting for a head trauma. Not that I wanted it to happen but with these kinds of problems, head trauma's are mostly very bad.
Kepner ran up to me and said: 'Major head trauma, Amelia!'
'Alright, let me see... No time for a CT, surgery has to happen right away.' Also I ran to scrub in.
After a few hours many victims where already treated and it was time to go home for me. My surgery took a long time but the patient was going to be alright. I'm glad.
As I walked out of the hospital, I ran into Maggie. She was about to head home too.
'You want a ride, Amelia?' She said running up to me.
'Oh that's sweet, but I came with my own car today. I'll meet you at the house!' I said.
'Okay, bye!'
As I got into my car I realised that I did not want to go home yet.
I started my car and drove. When I had arrived, I knocked on the door and waited for a response.
'Hi! Good to see you!'
'You too! Can I come in?'
'Of course!'
