The Story of Us

Ortho Right?

Callie's POV

I leaned over and checked the time and saw that my phone read 2:37, Mark should be getting here soon. I was bored out of my mind, probably because I went to bed around seven last night and woke up around six this morning. when I woke up this morning a made Baily go and get me some of my charts, so I have been going over some of my surgeries and finishing charting for the better half of my day. I was finally brought out of my thoughts when I heard mark and Baily walk into my room. Baily picked up my chart from the edge of my bed and signed of my discharge papers.

"you ready to get out of here kid.'' Mark said while turning to grab my belongings. I just nodded to mark and then looked to Baily and asked '' are  you okay? You haven't said a word since being here.''My voice laced with concern. " oh, yeah. I m good Torres. I had a long night.'' It hits me, I think I know what is wrong. I look over to mark who is still grabbing my things and we have a silent conversation. He nodded knowing that his presence was not needed at the time.

I turned my attention back to Baily and patted my hand on the edge of the bed signaling for her to come over and sit next to me. She just looked up from my chart with a confused and hesitant look written on here face. I gave her the famous Torres glare that nobody dared to question, she made her way to the bed and sat down. '' who peed in your cheerios this morning'' I try to make light of the problem. Baily just stared at me. I continue, '' come here'' I say opening my arms. After a reluctant minute she finally found her self in my embrace. '' You know you can tell me what's wrong right .'' my words are finally enough for her to break. In all of my years working with here never once have I seen Miranda Baily cry. I just sat there and held my crying friend while rubbing circle on her back until she calmed down.

'' Better? Do you want to tell me what's going on in that big brain of yours?'' I finish with a reassuring smile.  She glances up at me and starts ''You're not aloud to be here again. I have already lost to many fellow surgeons and close friends. I know your not dying but still. Your not aloud to be back here. Remember you are my little baby bird and I need you to be okay.''

I chuckled at Baily's antics, '' can I still come in for work though. Because you know I still need to work.'' she finally stood up and stared me up and down before saying, ''You know just what to say don't you Torres, again ruining a picture perfect moment.'' As I was going to rebuttal Mark walk back into the room. '' you ready to leave Cal. I was wondering if you wanted to head over and catch a late lunch. I know hospital food isn't the best.''  I was putting on my last shoe as I nodded in agreement to lunch, '' Is there any place specific you want to go. I don't really care, I'm starving.''

We finally decided on this little hole in the wall deli that was about a block away from the hospital. Mark and I thought it would be a good idea to walk and get some fresh air, we eventually arrive at the deli. we make are way over to the counter, Mark leans over and whispers, ''I don't think we thought this through.'' I glance up at him with a confused look, that's when I realized, '' I hate sandwiches.'' I blurt out. The people who occupied the deli ceased what ever they were doing and began to stare at me.

"oh God.'' I turned and apologized to workers and preceded to order my food, I ended up getting a chicken caesar salad. When we paid I tipped generously thanking the lord that I'm a surgeon. when we finally made it to our table Mark started, ''Nice one Cal, I always thought I was the one without a filter.'' I shot daggers at him with my gaze. After eating in relative silence for a little, he broke the silence,'' you ready for tonight, maybe you can find you someone to get buddy buddy  with.'' I sapped him in arm and he put his hands up signaling that he  surrendered. we picked up our tray's and threw them out on our way to the door. We walked back to the hospital so that I could get my car, I started walking to where I parked my car when I spot Baily pacing back and forth at the entrance of the hospital.

I briskly walk over to her and asked,'' what is going on with you. '' I paused then continued as I walked in front of her, ''stop pacing, you're going to walk a ditch into the ground.'' Baily finally stopped and looked up at me and began her ramble, ''Dr.Keenly died today and now I have a perky peds surgeon who wants to put Jackson on the transplant list instead of trying surgery.'' she pause and drew in a big breath, that's how I knew she wasn't done yet. ''I cant stand her she uses words like super and awesome. It doesn't help that she looks like she is 10. '' I think she is finished so I chime in, ''she cant possibly be that bad. Maybe you just need to give her a chance.'' Baily just looked up at me like I have three heads and countered, '' she wares wheels on her shoes. No self respecting surgeon wares wheels in their shoes and roles around.'' I shook my head, '' I really hope I don't see her as a patient.'' with that done and said we take our separate ways and I finally I'm able to collect my car and go home.

when I trudge into my apartment I make a once over at the clock and saw that it read 5:00. Perfect I say to nobody but myself. I have two hours until Mark and I walk over to Joe's. I start to go over a mental checklist of what needs to be done around the house and after determining that vacuuming,doing the dishes, and dusting was way to ''waste'' time, I decide to dance it out. I swiftly walk over to the where I keep my iPod and turned on my 80's playlist and started moving to the music. And since I was alone i broke out into self invented dance moves.

I was so lost in the music and having fun that I didn't see or hear my door being opened. As my song came to a end and I turned around. when I turned a let out a high pitched squeal as I saw a figure standing there. '' Do you always do this Torres, cause if you to I'm going to start using my spare key a lot more.'' I march over to where Mark was standing and punched him in the arm, ''why on Earth did you scare me like that, you are not aloud back in here with permission.'' I finish with a Torres glare. '' why are you here anyway, aren't we going to see each other at 7:00.'' Mark just pointed up to my clock and it read read, 6:59. ''crap'' I shouted to the air, I hurriedly go into my room and get ready for the night. I waltz out of my room in my favorite pair of dark jeans, my leather jacket, and a emerald green blouse. Mark eyed me up and down then acknowledged, '' you look good Torres. Ready to hit the bar.''

When we walked into Joe's I noticed our group of friend at there normal table and someone else I couldn't really see. As I approached, I caught i glimpse of red hair and knew exactly who it was, I run towards the table and screamed, ''Addie.'' She looks over my way and sees me, '' oh my God cal, how have you been. Come on lets go to the bar and catch up.''  I complied and followed her over to where there was two open stools and we both hoist our self's up on them. ''What are you doing here, not that I'm complaining.'' The red head laughed at my antics, '' The chief called me wondering if I could consult on a case, I also believe he is trying to get me back at Seattle grace.'' I quickly chime in, ''Is there any chance of you coming back? I ask with some hope. Addison responded, '' I'm sorry sweetie but I have my practice down in L.A now. I will try and visit more often though. How have you been though Cal, I can tell some thing is bothering you.'' I drone, ''Do you remember Dr.Hahn.'' I paused waiting for Addie's acknowledgement. When she nods her head signaling that she remembered I continued, ''we got into a relationship, if  that's what you could call it. Anyway, it wasn't the best and then we ended up getting into a really big fight and she said things that really stung. Oh did I mention this was in the middle of a parking lot while it was pouring rain. I apparently stood out in the freezing rain and getting mild hypothermia, so I wake up the next day in the hospital.'' Addison was just staring at me with her mouth agape but was quick to ask, ''what did she say?'' I try to think of a way around the question but couldn't come up with one so I declare, " I'll be right back I need to go the bathroom.'' She was giving me a knowing glare so I rapidly added, '' I promise I will tell you everything,okay.'' With that said I get up and head into the bathroom. I was to busy looking in the mirror trying to keep the tears at bay to notice the door open and someone walk in. I turn around to see who was in here with me when I see a blonde headed woman looking at me. The events that played out next took me by surprise.
