AMELIAS POV
I woke up to the blaring of Derek's alarm. My head was pounding and I knew I had too much to drink last night.
"Derek," I mumbled. I looked over and he shut the alarm off in the bed across from me.
"Come on get up you wanted to fly home," He said.
"Derek how much did you let me drink," I mumbled.
"I don't know," he said.
"Ugh," I said and rolled over.

We were on the plane ride home and I was so tired and hungover. I pulled my hood over my head and leaned up against the plane wall. I closed my eyes and hoped to wake up in Seattle.
OWENS POV
Meredith and I were feeding everyone breakfast. Derek told me last night that they were coming home today. I asked about Amelia and he said she wasn't doing well. I feel so bad for her. Today was Friday so everyone had to go to school today. Meredith was going to drive everyone in and I'd just be here waiting for Derek and Amelia.
"Okay I'm gonna head out you good here?" She asked.
"Yeah," I chuckled, "I'm fine."
"Alright," She said, "sounds good I'll be back in 20."
"Okay," I said. I went and laid down on the couch and turned the news on. I wondered what time Amelia and Derek's flight was. I looked at my phone and she hadn't texted me. Derek said they were taking off soon which was almost an hour ago, so it was a short flight they should be home soon.
AMELIAS POV
Derek and I pulled into his driveway and part of me was excited to see Owen. The kids were at school so I wouldn't get to see them until this afternoon. I was still partially hung over so that didn't help. I unlocked the door while Derek brought the bags in and Owen was on the couch.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," I said. He moved over on the couch and I sat down next to him.
"I don't wanna talk about it," I said.
"Okay," He said, "that's fine." He said hi to Derek.
"My head hurts," I said quietly.
"Headache?" Owen asked.
"No I'm fucking hung over," I said.
"Oh," he said.
"Yeah," I shrugged, "I also need a nap." He chuckled and smiled.
"Then go upstairs," he chuckled.
"You know how much work that is," I said, "I think I'm gonna fall asleep here."
"Alright," He chuckled. I curled up and laid my head on a pillow and closed my eyes. I felt Owen put a blanket over me and walk into the other room.
