While Mark and the bigot fighted , the wind continued howling, catching the fall orange leaves , throwing them aiming them at the main entrance to the hospital, decorating them a muddy brown , destroying the normality of the blue/grey exterior design of the building.

Callie watched on stood with her back against the building , not knowing what to do as the leaves caught on to her legs. She turned to the right and walked into the hospital, a wave of heat washed over her like a gust of wind. From every angle , a blur of blue drove around , driving in all sorts of directions. Hundreds of words were being spoken but all simultaneously so no words were actually distinguishable. As she made her way through the army of doctors and nurses and staff to her new office given to her as she is a specialised attending , she thought to herself, ' What had just happened and why was Mark so protective of me and is Arizona ok ? '

The dark haired ortho surgeon pressed up on the elevator, the cold plastic making contact with her finger making her feel slightly cooler. She took her phone out of her lab coat pocket to text 'Arizona xx ' , : ' hey , can we meet up , I want to make sure you are ok after that.... we can meet in my office if you want . Lots of love from Calliope xx'

Callie stared at the number on the small screen towards the top of the elevator , wondering how they get electricity access in these machines of transportation and how it all worked most of the time smoothly. Her simple cell phone, one that had a blood red carpeted structure and had the numbers that also were used as letters and symbols , rang with a notification tune. Calliope tapped the screen on , ' mom - don't you dare step foot near our house on Thanksgiving or ever again on your own or that vile creature you call your girlfriend. "

The Cuban surgeon quickly threw her phone in her back not wanting to look at that phone any longer. Tears began falling down her cheeks creating a sticky , salty , wet trail. She quickly wiped them with her lab coat sleeve , which was now marked with a black mud like stain. Fishing her compact mirror out of her bag , more tears kept falling , painting more see through stains of wet salty ness , crying more as she stared back at herself through the mirror, releasing how much of a mess she looked.

The mascara black mark on her white lab coat sleeve grew larger , covering a small volume of white fabric.

Suddenly , a soft voice spoke from behind Callie , who did not realise that anyone else was in the elevator ride with her. The voice said : " Don't let whatever's upset you get to you , because it will eventually eat you alive, mourn for dead loved ones , just remember they will always be proud of you and will most likely not want you to be upset. "

Callie turned to the direction the voice spoke from , now realising who it was , the strong , smart , kind , wise Dr Miranda Bailey. " I didn't even realise you where in here. "

Miranda took a few steps closer to her , her sneakers shuffling against the floor of the elevator. " Am I that small? I got in shortly before you did when there was loads of staff ,I just stayed at the back. " Dr Bailey questions and states giving her friend a wry smile.

Callie gave her a wry smile back , " No you aren't. Makes sense. How are you ? I'm meant to be your friend and I've not even checked in with you for weeks possibly months , gosh. "

Miranda met Calliope's sad maroon eyes now flooded with a tear threatening to spill , offering a tissue and placing the palm of her hand on Callie's shoulder. " Don't worry about me , I'm perfectly fine , we are both wrapped up in our own busy little world's , so I apologise too for not checking in. So what's upset you? "

Slowing down , the elevator eventually came to a holt, a moment of nervous anticipation to wether the metallic, thunder grey doors were gonna open up to a modern , medicinal , dull hospital ward was in the atmosphere - neither doctors spoke. Dr Bailey walked out first , Meredith Grey was waiting outside the elevator , she smiled , her blonde/brown hair tied meticulously up into a pony. " Dr Baileyyy , would you like to accompany me in surgery ? "
