Chapter One
We were standing in the doctor's lounge facing off against each other after I discovered her infidelity with Boswell. Arizona was screaming at me, yelling at me that I have lost nothing. At first, I was so stunned, taken aback with the words Arizona was using. When she offered to cut off my leg to even the score is when I snapped out of it, I walked right up to her and got right in her face as I pointed a finger at her chest, "I have lost our baby, my best friend, Lexie was a friend too, and I just lost my wife, you're a self centered, selfish bitch so fuck you!"
I saw it finally register to Arizona what I had said about the baby, just as she opened her mouth to say something I stopped at the door, looked at her and said, "I will get Sofia, there is no need for you to come back home again. I will file papers tomorrow for a divorce, I will be packed and out of the apartment within the week. Once I am gone, you can have the apartment. I want nothing from you, as for Sofia, she was never part of your plan, remember? You informed me she was my daughter. Once a whore, always a whore who never really wanted commitment. All you had to do was say you didn't want to be married anymore, you didn't have to be a cheater."
I continued out the door as she was yelling at me again, I headed to daycare to sign out Sofia.
I had just gotten to daycare when Cristina asked me if everything was ok? I looked at her with no emotion, "Dr Robbins thought it was best to cheat on her wife last night. While we were all saving lives she and Boswell enjoyed the on call room. Imagine that, Dr Yang," I said while I was finishing signing Sofia out. I heard Cristina say, "I am so sorry Callie."
I looked at her and said, "Don't bother apologizing to me Yang, according to Dr Robbins I haven't lost a thing since I wasn't on the plane, only you doctors that were on the plane lost something."
I saw Arizona approach out the corner of my eye, wanting to get out of here quickly I stepped it up to speed walking with Sofia to the elevator. I was so grateful we did not have to wait, I heard her yell to me to hold the elevator, 'Like hell,' I thought.
We made it to the lobby quickly and I continued to speed walk all the way to the apartment.
I know I have overstepped the line as soon as the words leave my mouth, and the worst thing is that I only partly mean them. The anger and bitterness is a small but ever present part of me. I cannot believe I gave voice to it. I see the devastation on her face before her face shuts down, shutting me out. Oh God, what have I done? I want to take it all back but I know it's too late, as I feel my own heartbreaking Callie starts to speak, I am hoping that she knows how sorry I am.
"I have lost our baby, my best friend, Lexie was a friend too, and I just lost my wife, you're a self centered, selfish bitch so fuck you!"
Baby? It worked? And she never told me?
"I will get Sofia, there is no need for you to come back home again. I will file papers tomorrow for a divorce, I will be packed and out of the apartment within the week. Once I am gone, you can have the apartment. I want nothing from you, as for Sofia, she was never part of your plan, remember? You informed me she was my daughter. Once a whore, always a whore who never really wanted commitment. All you had to do was say you didn't want to be married anymore, you didn't have to be a cheater."
No, no, no, no, no. This is not happening; she cannot be leaving and taking my baby girl. I can barely breathe the pain in my heart hurts so badly.
Once Sofia and I were safely inside, I put the chain on the door then go straight to put Sofia down to finish her nap. I hurried to the bedroom, grabbed a suitcase, opened it, throwing in an assortment of clothing for her, I grabbed her bathroom products and her crutches, knowing Arizona would try to come in. I heard her keys in the lock, when she realized the chain was on the door she knew. I yelled for her to wait a minute, I unchained the door tossed everything into the hallway and said, "That is all you need for now until I make further arrangements."
Arizona went to speak but I threw my hand up as I told her to shut up, I stepped back and closed the door in her face. I slid down the door, my emotions getting the best of me; I just sat there and cried. I heard my cell phone go off, but made no attempt to get it. After sitting on the floor for over an hour I got up to make a cup of tea to trying to gather my emotions. I looked at my phone and saw a lot of missed calls and text messages from Arizona; I chose to delete them all. I saw one from Cristina saying she would be over by herself for dinner; she needs to talk to me.
It took me longer to hurry after Callie than it should have, I almost managed to catch up to her in the elevator, but I get to our front door and am confronted with the chain blocking my entrance. We never use the chain. Not even when we are home.
Callie calls out to me to wait and I bolster myself ready to fight for my family, for myself.
Before I can get a word out, Callie throws my things at me, and slams the door in my face.
"Callie, please, don't do this; just give me a chance to explain."
I slap the door and wait, hoping she will give in, it is only when I hear her sobs that I realize I am not going to get anywhere with her today, so reluctantly I pick up my belongings and leave.
I was laying on the couch trying not to think about anything when I heard Sofia crying, I got up to go to her, I brought her back to the lounge area to calm down. We were just settling when there was a knock at the door. I looked through the peephole; I would not put it past Arizona to come
back. Fortunately, it was just Cristina; just as I was going to unchain the door, I asked Cristina if she was alone.
"Hey, come on in, I didn't start dinner so you're out of luck there."
"Callie, I really am sorry for what happened, I saw Arizona screaming at Boswell in the parking lot as I was walking over here."
"Cris, I really don't give a shit, so please tell me you didn't come here to defend her."
"No, I came here because if you're leaving we are going together, I am Sofia's Godmother, let's face it Cal, things in my life, well, just suck. It is over for Owen and me, and I cannot be here to watch him meet a new woman and make a family, I just cannot take it anymore. I have not been happy for some time, I just need to go. I would feel better to have you with me or you could say, me with you, but we need each other. Seems like we are both back to square one, just me and you, like the old times, except we have this beautiful little girl to entrance us."
"Cris, you don't even like kids, why are you doing this?"
"Look, I need you as much as you need me right now, I love Sofia, Callie please, let's just do this. We should just resign, effective immediately, take our time and drive cross country to New York. What do you think? We can find a place to live, find jobs, it's not like we don't have money Callie."
"I need to think, Cris. I want a divorce immediately from her, after all her verbal and emotional abuse over the past year, her telling me Sofia is mine to take care of, getting her through her rehab, it's too much. I know you guys have been through something completely horrible; I don't even want to imagine it. But now she slept with someone she knew for three God damn days Cris. I was not allowed to sleep with her never mind touch her. It is my fault she lost her leg, she knows that I gave the order, but does not even know it was her boy Alex that cut off her leg because she was crashing. How ironic is it that she took Alex off that plane to punish him, and he is the asshole that cut it off, it should have been him. What was I supposed to do? Let her die? Well Yang, the answer to that is yes, she said she would rather be dead."
Cristina looked at me, astonished, as her jaw dropped, "Torres, have you never spoken to anyone about everything you have been through?"
I shook my head no as the tears just rolled down my cheeks, I whispered to Yang, "I never even got to mourn my lost baby properly, then with Mark dying on me, she never even let me mourn my best friend, Cristina, I miss him. I miss Mark. I want my baby back too. Cris, this isn't how it is supposed to be."
Cristina went and sat next to Callie, holding her while she cried for hours. Yang never shows emotions, but tonight she did with Callie as she helped her cry over the loss of her baby and best friend. Callie fell asleep on the couch, exhausted from the emotions and from crying. Yang fed Sofia then played with her Goddaughter, all the while thinking she needed to tell Cal what happened out there, at the crash site. Thoughts of causing harm to Robbins for what she had just done to her good friend.
She may have been the one to carry the physical scars from the crash, but we all carry the emotional scars and nowhere in my brain does it say to cheat, how the fuck could she throw this beautiful woman and her daughter away? I think back on the lies I heard her tell Mark while he
lay there fighting to stay alive. I heard her promise that if she made it out of there she would take care of their girls; Mark promised her the same back while they were both dying slowly. This is how you take care of someone? Does Cal know about roller girl's broken promise to Mark? I think before we leave I have to confront Robbins. That bitch needs to be told off and I am just the person to do it.
How can she just up and leave? This is all her fault. She broke her promise, she cut my leg off, and she made me less than whole. Why is she the one whose side people take? I am the injured party here. It is all her fault, if she had come to the hospital in Idaho, she could have saved my leg. She is the best at Ortho; it would have been easy for her. She let me down; she was not there for me. Why do I get to be the bad person here?
