Love will conquer all

back then

Alex Pov

Jo had an abusive husband? What? How could somebody hurt a kind, sweet, beautiful woman like Jo. It angered me, for some odd reason. It didn't help that I was already a very violent person. I wanted to track down this man and kill him. Why the hell would I want to do that. To be honest I have no clue. Expect for the fact that Jo was my friend, pretty much one of my only friends.

She went on about how she used to live in her car and how the only person who cared for her was her teacher. Then she continued on to saying on how Paul would hurt her. After a long time Jo fell asleep.

I felt terrible. I felt like I used her, I know I didn't. But these where things that she wouldn't tell anyone and instead of leaving and letting her sleep, I asked her questions and tried to pry information from her. I'll have to tell Mer about this, later though.

I didn't realize that I fell asleep until I heard Meredith's alarm clock go off from downstairs. I looked at Jo who started to wake up. When she saw me, she nearly jumped out of the bed. "We didn't! We couldn't of, your like my brother who is a major asshole." She blurted. Well thanks for the boost of confidence Jo. "No, we were just talking." She looked at me suspiciously. Obviously not believing a word I was telling her.

She'd remember later today right? Or should I just tell her. I don't know how to be a good person, that's not me. "Jo. You told me about living in your car...  And Paul." I said, not looking at her face. When I finally looked at her she looked terrified. "I don't think any differently of you Jo, it isn't your fault this happened to you. You deserve better. " I said, trying to confront her like Arizona taught me to.

I remember that conversation I had with Arizona about Jo.

Flashback

"Where's Wilson?' I asked Arizona, who just got talking to her wife. Dr.Torres. Callie and Arizona looked at each other knowingly. "Jo had the day off, she wanted to help Grey get back on her feet." Torres answered, while looking at some paperwork.

"Why do you care anyway?" Arizona asked, smiling hoping I'd say I was in love with her or something. In love? With Jo? No way in hell. "She's my friend." I stated, honestly.

"Sure, she is. You two are probably having sercert sex." Torres said laughing. I rolled my eyes has she left. "Don't ruin it with Jo."

What? I wasn't in any relationship with Jo and never was going to be. "We're just friends." I stated once again. "I see the way you look at her. Like a man in love. She's your Calliope."
