A/N: Right, so I haven't written for a loooooong time. Let's see if anyone likes this and I'll continue giving it a shot. Slightly changing the events of tonight's episode and introducing an OC. Off we go!
Callie's POV
"Wait, what's going on? You guys are on a break? Those are real things?" she questions and then I have to pull my phone away from my ear as she shouts, "CAN SOMEONE TAKE CARE OF HER? I HAVE TO GO TO MY OFFICE."
"Yeah…I need someone. I need someone to be there and no one's here, there's no one…I-." The tears are streaming down my face and it's getting hard to breathe. I feel like I've been drowning for months.
"Suerte, why didn't you call me earlier? You know I never sign long term contracts, I would have been there last week," she says and I can here her walking past some crying patients. I try and take deep breaths. I know she's right. All I had to do was call.
"I know, you're- you're just out there…doing…doing big things. I didn't want to take you from that," I manage to get out through the sobs.
"Pfft- I've more than set them up over here. I'll be in Seattle in two weeks. All yours! Put aside some funding for me. I'll call Owen and set up a job," she mumbles into the phone. I hear papers shuffling and a drawer slam. Already the sobs are becoming sniffles.
"You can't just call Owen and make up a job," I sigh, "And I can hear all those patients. They need you."
"Hah, your hospital would be lucky to have me. No worries, Suerte, I'll just take over half your lab. We both know I build better legs," she laughs into the phone. "And the patients here are just upset with a new nurse. Had to stick a few arms too many times."
"In your dreams. Everything you know you got from me."
"Riiiight. You're lucky you made it through med school. I was there, you hardly studied."
"And whose fault is that?"
"Not mine! You made your own choices!" I can hear the smile in her voice. This smartass would soon be back in my life. I couldn't wait.
"Two weeks?"
"Two weeks."
I might be an alcoholic. Arizona's just going on with her life like it's nothing. She's inviting friends over- she invited Kepner over. She'd rather talk to Kepner than me. I pinch the bridge of my nose and try to will the building headache away. Or I might just be hung over from the bottle of wine I chugged last night, who knows? Maybe I'll see if Meredith is around, Yang must have left a bottle of Tequila hidden somewhere.
"TORRRRRRRESSSSSS!" I know that voice. That obscene rolling of r's can only be one person. I turn around and see her running towards me. Fit, tan, and a new haircut. Could someone I've known for so long, the little girl that used to follow me around, could they change and grow that fast? Like nothing she takes me into her arms, lifting me off the ground, and spinning me in circles. The tears start falling.
"I told you I'd be here in two weeks, Suerte!" she says as she finally puts me down and lays a soft kiss on my forehead. I cup her cheeks and scan every inch of her face. She's grown so much. Her eyes are bright and happy, yet questioning why I'm staring at her without saying anything. "Where's Sofia? We haven't Skyped in almost three weeks. I don't want her to forget what I look like." I chuckle and pull her into my arms.
"Mija," I whisper.
"It's alright, Mami, I'm here. You have someone, Suerte."
A/N: Alright, there it is. Don't forget to review!
