Chapter 1
"God, Cristina, let's go!" I screamed throughout the house.
Cristina finally came out of the room. "What the hell are you screaming at?"
"We were suppose to leave twenty minutes ago."
"We will make it. Chill out. I got this."
"You have this? We were suppose to be there by nine. Yang, you don't have anything."
"Where's your girlfriend again? Oh yeah right, guess you are the one with nothing. Come on drama queen." Cristina said as she quickly walked by Callie.
"Finally." I said walking behind my friend. We were suppose to met everyone at Joe's in five minutes. We were an easy twenty minutes away. Which meant Cristina got to drive like Derrick the entire way to Joe's. I have to say she kind of scared me when she did this. A lot.
"Cristina, we can just be late." I announced as I held the top of the roof of her car as she took the next curve.
"I said I would get you there." Cristina turned to me and continued, "And I wi…."
That was it. I remembered hearing the sounds of breaking glass and being shock all over the vehicle. It was obvious to me somehow that the car was rolling. Suddenly the car came to a stop. I remember blinking my eyes twice and seeing the roof of the vehicle. I could smell the burn of rubber and the gasoline. I could hear people talking and traffic stopping. I was a surgeon and I knew that I smelled blood. I blinked once more and just as I heard Cristina yell to me, Everything went black.
Cristina's POV
"Callie!" I had finally made my way out of my seat. I checked for a pulse. It was faint, but to my delight she was alive. A man was on his knees leaning in the car.
"Ma'am, are you ok."
I looked at the man in complete shock. "I need something." My mind wouldn't even make sentences. "I need…"
"Is she alive?"
"Yes. Barely."
"Ok. I am going to get something to cut her down."
"Ok." I looked at Callie and being to plead with her. Willing her to live. She was still in her seat upside down. "Callie, stay with me."
The man returned. "Here, here is a knife. I don't know maybe we should wait for the ambulance."
"I…"
"Just wait."
"I am a doctor."
"You are?"
That was it. I had played this game to long. Bartenders and beautician I was not, but a doctor, a doctor I was to the core of my being. I took the knife and cut Callie lose gently bringing her to an upright position. Due to gash that she now wore on her forehead it was obvious that Callie had taken a hit to the head. Now I had to deal with the bleeding. A large piece of glass from the window and punctured her side. The blood that was coming from the wound was dark and flowing quickly. I knew that she had nicked an artery.
I scrambled around the car looking for the contents of my purse. I finally found the object that I was looking for. I grabbed my phone and hit the contact. I listened to the rings until I heard a familiar voice.
"Where are you, Yang?"
"Mark, it's Callie. We have been in an accident. She is really bad Mark. You and Owen need to meet us at Seattle Grace."
"Ok….ok…..we will be there."
I hung up the phone and returned to Callie. I could hear the ambulance in the background. I held the wound to try and control the bleeding. I opened her eyes and looked into her pupils. They were very dilated. "Come on Callie. They are almost here. We will get you to the hospital and Derrick will make this better. You'll see."
I heard the ambulance stop and the sounds of EMTs coming my way. They were surprised to see us in the car. "Doctor Yang?"
"Hey Brian. You gotta help Callie."
He took my shoulder. "Ok, I will, but I need to get you out too. Another EMT was now at the window. He helped me out of the vehicle as Brian stayed with Callie. "You have to help her."
"We will. Just come with me."
I sat in the ambulance for only a few minutes when they brought Callie into the ambulance. Within seconds we were on our way to the hospital. I talked to Callie the whole way to there. She never woke and with every second I became more worried. I knew that even with the bleeding, Callie's brain was my biggest concern.
We arrived and Mark, Owen, Lexi, April, Jackson and Karev were all waiting when the doors swung open. The EMTs briefed Owen about Callie condition. In the hustle of everything I pulled on Mark's shoulder. "Please tell me you tried."
"I did and there was no answer. I sent her an email to call home. If I don't hear from her soon I'll try again." Mark smiled and walked toward Callie. What would I tell Robbins if anything….I couldn't even think of that now. Callie had to be ok.
Arizona's POV
It had been a long morning already. I found some small comfort I checking my email. It was usually a quick email from Mom and Dad. Some days it would be a couple of friends from home. Teddy had also sent a couple of emails. No matter what, every day the one I looked for was never there. Today was different, today there was one from Mark. I clicked on his name to see only two words. 'Call home.' I looked at my watch that read 9:45am. It was just before midnight in Seattle. I wondered if I should call, but his message seemed urgent. I couldn't even think of the possibilities of that call. I couldn't.
I took the phone off my desk and called Marks number. It rang several times before there was an answer. "Hello."
The reception was awful. There was so much static that I couldn't even hear what Mark had to say. "Hello" I replied.
"Ar….zona." Marks voice was broke up but I heard all I needed to hear. "Callie…..hurt…..accident…..bad….come home."
After Mark said that the line was dead. It wasn't the reception that ended the call it was me. How could I gather my things and talk to him at the same time.
