Amelia's POV

"Owen?!" I shout as I get close to his bed in the ICU. My smile is a mile wide.

He turns his head toward me. "Were you the one to operate?"

"What? Maggie did your surgery."

"No, not my surgery. Trevor's"

I freeze for a moment. My smile fades. "Yes."

"So I guess it's safe to assume that you're the one that let him die, so that I could live."

"Owen, he was already gone, I-" I start to explain but he interrupts me.

"Just go." He says.

"Owen."

"Amelia! Just go."

I turn around, and walk out. My tears start to blur my vision as they flow faster and faster down my face.

I pass Meredith again, she turns to look at me.

"Are you okay?" She asks, concerned.

"Just leave me alone."

I slam the door of an on-call room shut behind me, and throw myself onto one of the beds.

How could he say that? That it was my fault Trevor died? I did absolutely everything I could...... right? I mean, I tried to bring him back, but he was too far gone...... Now I'm starting to second guess myself. If that patient wasn't Trevor, if Owen wasn't in desperate need of a heart, would I have let him go? No. I would have done the exact same thing. Right?
