Unfortunately, life has a funny way of throwing us curve balls. Some that we don't even see coming. You know the saying, 'when life gives you lemons make lemonade.' I was always taught as a kid never to judge a book by its cover and the same went for people. That sometimes your first impressions about someone can either be your right or wrong impressions. To always see the good in people unless proven otherwise. But what do you do when everything you've heard of that person is the worst? Do you go against your better judgment and still try and see the good in them knowing that your friendship with the person who hates them could be on the line? Or, do you run?

"I'm happy that your work is doing well, Anthony," Alison started out on the phone. "I just wish I could see you more."
"I know, I know."
Alison and Anthony got along well but the problem was that they barely saw each other. Then when they did it was almost as if he used her as a babysitter for Bentley.

She just wasn't sure how much more of this she could take.
Or how much more she was willing to try if he wasn't putting in the same effort.

"Hey, still looking for another place to stay?" Alison asked Callie as they were walking through the hospital hallways.
"Yeah, I'm staying at a nearby hotel right now. I'm hoping it's only temporary."
"Well I have an extra room you could sleep in. It's yours if you want it."
"I wouldn't want to intrude on you and your boyfriend."
"Trust me. You wouldn't. No matter how much I wish that were true. I feel like I spend more time with his son Bentley than I do him."
"Ouch. That bad huh?"
"I guess you could say that. So, you in? You would have to pay rent of course but we can split it fifty-fifty."
"I'll think about, thanks."
"Yeah, no problem," the blonde doctor smiled at the Latina doctor.
"Hey Müller, you ready for a big day today?" She asked the nurse practitioner as she just came in.
Alison was snacking on some popcorn before she went and saw her patient as she overheard Derek with Grey. She smirked at his not so subtle way of flirting with her at work as she sat down in the chair.
