I lost it with the wind

she's leaving

Cristina Yang watches Seattle growing smaller and smaller in he distance. Finally, it's too far away to recognise it anymore. I must not look back... Again, she looks through the window but she doesn't watch anything in particular. Owen... She wonders, what he's doing right now. The op must be over by now and doubtless, he hasn't another op today. So he gets some free time. Maybe he's back in his house trailer and what does he do there? Maybe he's sitting on the bed and remembers their last night together.

Or maybe he's drunk in some bar. Drowning his sorrows...

Will he even miss her? Of course, he will...will I miss him? She isn't sure, well at least she pretends not to. She tries and convinces herself. I must not look back. I won't look back.

Dr. Cristina Yang Her own name marks the office door in big letters. Her office door. This is her office. Her own office, her own hospital... After her arrival, her new colleagues hold a reception and show her everything else what Burke hadn't already shown her while her first arrival.

The neurosurgeon tells her about a flat which lies somewhere and to rent it would cost something... She's not listening to because there is Owen. She excuses herself and slowly goes to Owen. He's standing with his back to her and is talking to a group of medical assistants. Now she's very near to him and cries out to him. In a very gentle way, she calls him: "Owen" and he turns.

How could she have been so wrong? His hair is ginger and he's tall but nothing more and especially not Owen. "Oh, oh. I'm sorry, I... I just thought I... sorry" she turns around but than rethinks it. She introduces herself.

"No need to introduce yourself, I already know who you are... everybody does..." he laughs heartily. Cristina gives him a small smile "and you are?" - "Dr. Scott, orthopaedic surgeon"

One month later "Hurry up, Johann" Cristina puts on her clothes. Though the shirt she picks up from the floor is not hers. She tosses it to Johann, Dr. Johann Scott. "I'll take a shower", he pulls her into an embrace, "and you come with me" Gently, she pushes him away "I can't, I'd be late" He gives her a kiss. "I'll miss you under the shower...so alone" She's tempted but still resists him "ok, miss me. But maybe you can have me later" With a hugh grin he walkes into her bathroom while she hurries to the hospital, to her job.

Meanwhile in Seattle: "Owen, Owen, are you sleeping?" Callie stoops over him. He opens his eyes and growls "of...of course, I'm not..." She steps away and sniffs "urgh, you're drunk again" She turns to leave but he stops her "don't, don't tell anyone, please" She stops and after a while turns back to him. "No" she's raging now "I lied often enough"

She goes straight to April and while starting to speak she turns one last time to Owen just to see him crying. It breakes her heart to see him so lost. April looks startled "Callie, you're telling me what?" "I'm sorry" she looks directly into Owen's eyes, sighs and turns to April "but Owen, he... He's drinking again, we can't tolerate this anymore. We're risking lives...if we let him"

April looks like she's going to cry "he was my mentor" She blinks the tears away. "We must tell the directorate"
