Calzona 4
What Goes Around?
"Well Torres that's the last of em'!" Mark Sloane said as he set the box down on the ground of his best friend's new apartment. "Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it" Callie said, putting her hand on her hips.
She looked around her new apartment. She felt worried, scared. But also she felt excited and like there was a tiny man jumping up and down in her stomach doing back flips. When she got the letter to transfer to Seattle Grace she was so unsure. She had a life back in New York, friends and family. But Callie needed a new start. Her friend Mark Sloane, actually her best friend lived in Seattle. He was chief of surgery at Seattle Grace, so at least she had him.
"I should probably get a roommate" Callie said moving some boxes to the bedroom "I can't pay this rent by myself, not right now I can't"
Sloane walked into her bedroom carrying a box. "Callie you're an attending you can pay your rent don't worry". But Callie was worried. She didn't know this city at all. Yes, she did have Mark but he was busy half the time being chief and all. Plus, Callie needed some new friends.
Before she left New York she found her at the time Fiancée, Monika in bed with her boss. Callie was so upset and heartbroken she left. She hadn't talked to Monika since.
"Mark, I just need a roommate" Callie insisted this time. Mark looked up at her.
"Ok Torres whatever you want, I know a girl who's actually looking for a place. Head of peds." Mark said starting to leave. "I'll think about it" Callie said yawning "But now I am going to sleep" Callie said walking into her washroom. Mark left and shut the door behind her.
"Mon, how could you all we had Monika I loved you! I still love you!" Callie was shouting. She was shouting so loud. Her fiancée stood there cold inattentive. Callie was shouting louder this time.
"Monika! Does this mean anything to you! I LOVE YOU" Callie was screaming with all her might. "No one will ever love you Callie" her fiancée answered. Callie was crying. She was crying hard.
"Callie!" a voice was shouting at her
"CALLIE!" the voice was louder this time
Suddenly Callie woke up in a panic. Her heart was racing she looked over to see Mark.
"Wake up Torres I could hear you screaming from across the hall" Mark said throwing a pillow at her. Callie looked over at the clock on her bedside table
6:35 am. It was just a dream.
Callie got into the car with Mark. He pulled out of the parking garage and swerved onto the street.
"So why were you screaming last night?" Mark said keeping his eyes on the road and slipping on his sunglasses.
"Just a bad dream" Callie said, still a little shook up. She knew it was all just a dream but what if it was right. What if no one would ever love her. Callie shook out of her day dream and looked out the window to see Seattle Grace. She let out a sigh and stepped out of the car and followed Mark into the hospital.
They walked over to the elevator and Mark pressed the up button and slipped his hands in his pockets. He looked over at Callie who was looking down and fidgeting with the button on her coat.
"Hey don't be nervous. They will love you here. I already told everyone that you were super awesome! And pretty hot if I do say so myself" Mark said jokingly to cheer her up. Callie looked over and smiled and pushed him playfully. "I know you want this buddy, but I'm batting for the other team" Callie said with a wink. They both laughed and stepped into the elevator.
When they got up to Marks office they both stepped into his office and Mark shut the door behind them. He set his brief case down on the table and slipped on his lab coat over his dress shirt and tie. Callie looked out the window to see a small blonde talking with some nurses. Callie couldn't stop looking at her. She saw the way the blonde gracefully moved and how she smiled and laughed with the nurses. The blonde closed her binder and swiftly turned and walked down the hall. And she was gone.
"Torres!" Mark snapped, breaking Callie from her daydream.
"Yes-what- hi!" Callie said looking at Mark
Mark threw Callie some scrubs and a lab coat. "Go change and go up to the 6th floor, will meet you up there, he will show you around today". Callie ran out of the room and quickly walked to the elevator. When it opened she saw the blonde standing inside. Callie stepped in and pressed the 6th floor button.
The blonde looked over at Callie curiously. "You must be Callie Torres" the blonde said turning her head to face Callie. Callie jumped.
"Yes hi, and you are..?" Callie said sticking out her hand for a shake. The blonde stuck her hands in her lab coat pocket. Callie noticed the little monkey above the blondes name. Arizo- "Arizona Robbins, head of peds" Arizona said shaking Callie's hand. Head of peds? This couldn't be the potential roommate Mark was talking about last night.
The elevator dinged and Arizona started to walk out. "I'll see you around" Arizona said as she stepped out of the elevator. Callie was breathless. She barley said bye. Callie felt so stupid. The little monkey doctor was super hot!
Callie walked out of the elevator and walked into the locker room. She started changing. Callie slipped out of her dress pants and top and slipped on her scrubs and lap coat. She walked out of the change room and saw a tall handsome looking man standing at the nurses' station. She walked over to him.
"Hi I am Callie Torres, attending orthopedic surgeon, I'm looking for Derek Shepard?" Callie said to the handsome doctor. "Look no further! I am Derek Shepard, attending neurologist". They shook hands.
"I'm sure told you the basics of this place. I am going to be your go-to guy for everything here!" Derek said as he started walking down the hall. Callie followed close behind. They stopped at the board. Callie saw her name in three slots. Three surgeries on her first day. Callie went over some other things with Derek and then they took off further down the hall.
Callie thought about Arizona. How her blue eyes shimmered in the light. How her smile made Callie smile. Callie thought about her little monkey on her lab coat. Callie thought about Arizona. She thought about Arizona all day. All through her surgeries she thought about that damn monkey.
After her surgeries and filling out her charts, Callie hopped into the elevator to go see Mark. She wanted to go home and lay on her couch. She wanted to go home and think about doctor monkey.
She knocked on Mark's door. "Come in" Mark grunted. Callie walked in. Mark was packing up his brief case and hanging up his lab coat on the hanger beside the door.
"Ready to go?" Callie said anxiously. Mark looked up.
"Yeah, a bunch of us are going over to the bar to have a couple drinks you want to join?" Mark asked. To be completely honest Callie was exhausted. She just wanted to go home and sleep. But what the heck. Maybe doctor monkey would be there.
"I'm in" and they walked out the door and down to the car.
