Strange, crazy and wonderful

We're slaves to impulses

Penthouse

The brain, at any moment the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don't have control over most of them. When we get a chill, goosebumps. When we get excited, adrenaline. The body naturally follows it's impulses, which I think is part of what makes it so hard for us to control ours..

Meredith hugged Blake's pillow to her chest, she could still smell the faint lingering scent attached to it. She refused to wash the sheets, washing them and sending them to the dry cleaners would only take away the scent..

Her alarm beeped in her ears, but she screwed her eyes shut, every part of wanted nothing more than stay in bed, forget the hospital existed, forgot that she needed to go to work and save lives.

When the alarm beeped again, she kicked off her sheets, and walked over to the shower, she had taken to sleeping in Blake's sweats and shirts, it offered her a silent comfort. It lessened the impulse to call, to find out whether there was a stranger in her girlfriends hotel room. She stripped and entered the shower. Closing her eyes, she could almost feel the ghost of Blake's hands caressing her skin..

SGH

Blake stood at the nurses station going through some charts, considering the week she had, she thought she looked reasonably good.

"Oh .. god.. oh god." She lifted her eyes from the chart and looked at Christina. Her face was filled with embarrassment and panic. "Stupid nurses.."

Blake wondered whether the woman was talking to her or talking to herself "Is there something I can help you with yang?" She asked politely.

Christina stopped her pacing and stared at Blake "Okay.. so because I'm Merediths best friend I get treated like the plague too? I mean yang? Yang? I thought we were friends?"

Blake rubbed the bridge of her nose "Of course. Apologies. My favorite Asian." She amended "Is there something you'd like to say?"

Christina pursed her lips "Better , but not great." She commented "Burkes parents just caught me on-top of their son, in his hospital bed, in racy red lingerie.." she whisper yelled.

Blake's lips twitched upward "Mm.. sounds embarrassing.." she tried not showing her amusement.

Christina slapped her shoulder "Damn Tyler, I gave him twenty bucks to guard the door." She turned to the nurse who was standing nearby "I want my twenty bucks back!" She yelled

Blake went to speak but she noticed Meredith coming and she turned on her heel "There's no shame in showing your boyfriend a good time, at least it's your boyfriend Yang." She said walking away.

Meredith watched Blake leave with a sad sigh before she turned to Christina "still ignoring me then." She murmured "and I hear you've taken up stripping?" She asked trying to push away her hurt at Blake ignoring her.

Christina scoffed "As if you have room to talk, you're a dirty whore." She commented in classic Christina style, though Meredith stared down at the hallway where Blake disappeared into "so she's still ignoring your general existence?"

Meredith chewed her lip "Mm.. it's literally making me sick, I think her ignoring me is giving me an ulcer."

Christina blinked "Huh.. who would've thought."

Walkway.

Blake was walking across the walkway when she came face to face with Addison looking entirely disheveled, she was wearing mismatched shirts, a jacket , and a bucket hat. She stared at her.
