Beat your heart out [Crowen fanfic]

Chapter 2 - Hometown Glory

It's easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love and you don't have it ? What if you like it and lean on it ? What if you shape your life around it and then...it falls apart ? Can you even survive that kind of pain ? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is...death ends. This...? It could go on forever.

📍Seattle, Grey-Sloan Memorial hospital

Owen's POV

1 year ago :

Meredith - Owen you need to move on, it's been a year since Cristina left. Besides you're with Amelia now.

Me - Yes. Yes I know and I love her. I really do. But I... I don't know, I cannot help but think about her. You know, she...she saved me.

Meredith - I know but she left partly because you guys didn't want the same things, remember ?

Me - Yes, I know I...I have to forget her.

After Cristina left, I thought about her every days, even when I met Amelia. But then, little by little, the time I thought about her became fewer and fewer till I don't even think about her anymore. But recently, with the wedding approaching, she came back in my mind. I acted like nothing happened but I knew it wasn't good.

I went to check on my patient to see if he was ready for the surgery.

Me - Hello Mr. Mason, if you're ready we're gonna take you to the OR.

Mr. Mason - Okay just give me a few minutes with my family before.

Me - No problem. Wilson when he's ready take him to OR 2, I'll get ready.

Jo - Okay.

I was going to the OR when I saw Kepner.

Me - Kepner !

April - Yes Dr. Hunt ?

Me - Can you cover the pit tomorrow from 6 am. I have to pick Teddy up at the airport. She's coming for the weeding you know.

April - Hum...Yes, yes sure.

Me - Thank you April.

After that I went to operate.

📍Zurich, Cristina's apartment

Cristina's POV

I was in my apartment and I had nothing to do so I decided to call Meredith.

Meredith - Hey.

Me - Hey Mer, so, how it's going at Seattle ? How are Zozo, Bailey and Ellis ?

Meredith - They're doing well. Ellis cries a lot but otherwise it's fine. And you ? In Zurich ?

Me - Well...my Harper Avery and I are fine.

Meredith - I'm proud of you Cristina Yang.

Me - Oh please stop saying that... And Alex how is he ?

Meredith - Hum...wait I call him. *Alex !!? Come here, it's Cristina*

Alex - Hey Yang.

Me - Evil spawn. Are you always so insufferable ?

Alex - Oh shut up Yang.

Me - Don't cry, I'm joking.

Alex - Crap I gotta go my patient is crashing.

Me - to Meredith, and Owen ? How is he ?

Meredith - Well... he's gonna get married in a week.

Me - Oh...he proposed...Er, you know what, I have to go, I'll call you later, bye.

Meredith - What ?! Crist...

And I hung up.
I knew Owen was with Amelia but I never thought he would remarry so fast. I knew I had no reason but I was a little bit jealous.

📍Seattle, airport

Teddy's POV

The plane had just landed and I was heading to the exit when I saw Owen waving. I ran to him and took him in my arms.

Me - I missed you.

Owen - I missed you too.

And then I noticed that there was Amelia next to him.

Me - Oh, sorry, I didn't see you.

Amelia - It's okay. How are you ?

Me - I'm fine. But I should ask you. So you are going to get married ! I can't believe it.

Owen looked at me and smiled.
I have always thought that he would be with Cristina forever because these two loved each other so much. Even if they went through a lot. It's like they were meant to be together. Even when I loved Owen when I came in Seattle for the first time and I told him to choose between me and Cristina I knew he would choose her. But that's life.

Owen - Let's go. I take you home.

Amelia - I wish I could stay longer but I have to go to the hospital. I'll see you later.

Me - Okay bye !

Amelia - To Owen, I love you.

Owen - I love you too.

Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world.
