Come Back To Me (A Calzona/Grey's Anatomy Fanfic)

I'm Sorry

I'm Sorry

Chapter 17

The next day...

Amelia's POV

   I just needed a night to clear my mind, but now I'm ready to talk to Owen. I know that I can't run away from our problems and I'm going to face this one right now. I knock on the door and wait patiently for Owen to open it. He does a minute later and smiles a sad smile. "Owen, I'm ready to talk." He does say anything, but pulls me in for a hug.

   "Owen I'm truly so sorry about the way I stormed out last night. I should have been more understanding with the whole Riggs situation, but instead I acted like a child. I know that I need to handle my anger better and I'm working on it. Me being ready to talk after only a day of being mad is a start for me. I hope that you can see that."

    "I do see that Amelia and I'm proud of you. I'm sorry too. Not all of this was your fault. It was both of our faults. I get jealous and overbearing sometimes. It's not that I do it out of spite, it's because I love you and I want to protect you from harm." I smile and cup his face. "I know love, but I am a grown woman. I don't need my boyfriend to fight all of my battles for me. There are times when I will need you, but right isn't one of them. I can handle Riggs as long as he doesn't try to beat the crap out of me."

     Owen scowls. I nudge his shoulder. "Come on, lighten up. It was a joke." He looks at me with a darkness in his eyes. "That's not funny Amelia. Don't say things like that." I sigh. "I'm sorry Owen." He sighs back. "I know. Now let's get some rest. I have to go in to work early in the morning and so do you." I nod and follow him into the bedroom.  I lie my head down on a pillow beside Owen, take a drink of water, and fall into a deep sleep.
