You and amelia were oddly close. Like Derek and Mark, Amelia’s brother and her brothers best friend, you and her grew close during childhood. Nothing you did happened without her involvement and vice versa. You remained in contact for the most part except for when she had to go to rehab or went off the grid sometimes. Other than that, you two were the best of friends. When the Shepherd’s father died, you were there helping them out almost everyday. Mrs. Shepherd considered you her bonus daughter at one point. That’s the kind of relationship you had with the family.

It got to a point where you and Amelia where legitimately codependent until you went your separate ways for college and then med school and even longer when you both went to different hospitals. The distance was good for the two of you. And, for the longest time at Seattle Grace, you worked alongside her brother Derek. That was good. The distance allowed for personal growth between the two of you and to figure out what life was like without the other.

Years down the line, she shows up to work in the same department as you and Derek and it’s back to business. The closeness resumed and that friendship grows even closer until one day, a mutual colleague asks Amelia if you two are together. You were in the break room, sipping your coffee and going over a patient's chart when you heard Amelia's voice, tinged with a mixture of disbelief and nervous energy. You looked up to find her standing there, hands on her hips, a frown creasing her forehead.

“Do you know people think we’re a thing?” she blurted out, her cheeks slightly flushed, both from shock and rushing to find you.
