Callie could not wait to get away from the hospital. It had been three days since her world fell apart and it was the first time she could actually get away. Callie spent most of the first two days helping to get the hospital back in order in any way that she could. Now repairs were being made to repair some of the damage that the storm had caused. Richard was recovering as best as he could considering the circumstances. She spent as much time as possible with Sofia. If she was being honest that little girl was keeping her from going through some of the same things that she went through with George, she was her lifeline. Now though Callie needed to get away and think through everything that happened. Cristina had taken Sofia to Arizona for the next few days and Callie, well Callie was just going to go. She didn't know exactly where she was going but it wouldn't be far from her daughter so anywhere outside of Seattle was really out of the question. When she got in her car she had no real direction or destination in mind. Before long she found herself heading to the Pacific Ocean. Callie pulled into a park facing the sea and parked her car just as the sun was about to set. She laughed harshly to herself.

"Seems fitting." She whispered to herself. Callie thought about Arizona and the fact that once again her marriage might be as over as the sun was setting. She scrubbed her hands across her face and leaned her forehead against the steering wheel and cried. It was an hour before she lifted her head again. The sun had long since set and if she looked closely she could see stars in the sky and she smiled through her tears. The sun may have set but there were still stars in the sky. It was cliché and she knew it but right now she would take comfort on any cliché she saw fit. Callie started her car and made her way to the Archer Field. She would get a room and then get gloriously drunk by herself before stumbling up to her room.

Room key secure in her back pocket Callie makes her way to the bar and ordered two shots of tequila. She downed them both quickly and let the satisfying burn settle in. Callie had just started in on her first beer of the night when a man took a seat next to her.

"Hello." The man smiled at her and Callie sighed. She was really not in the mood to be hit on right now. She turned towards him to turn him down and was meet by a a very familiar pair of blue eyes. If she didn't know any better she would think that this was Arizona's twin brother. He had dirty blonde hair more brown than blonde and dimples in his smile but what really got Callie were the blue eyes. Callie did not fight the tears that came. She was already resigned to the fact that tonight would include a lot of tears, she just hadn't anticipated this. A bit of panic started to enter the man's eyes as Callie began to cry in front him.

"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to bother you. Look I am going okay?" The man stood up hands held up to show he meant no harm.

"No..." Callie managed "I'm sorry. I've had a bit of a rough week and you just reminded me of someone, kind of caught me by surprise." The man still looked hesitant and ready to run.

"Really I didn't mean to cry you a river or anything." Callie cleared her throat and wiped away some tears.

"Come on let me buy you a drink to make up for the water works. No more tears I swear." Callie put her hand over her heart and offered a small smile. The man seemed to relax and took his previous seat next to her.

"What are you having...?" Callie realized she didn't know his name. He seemed to realize it to and stuck out his hand.

"Jesse" Callie shook his hand.

"Callie, so what are you having Jesse?"

"I think I will go with beer any kind of Miller if they have it." A few minutes later Jesse holds a bottle of Miller Lite in hand..

"So..." Callie ventured "Your name is Jesse and you like Miller." Jesse smiles.

"What can I say I have my loyalties, I'm from Milwaukee...Wisconsin that is not Oregon Miller is our pride and joy."

"So no Budweiser for you?" Jesse pulls a face almost immediately that makes Callie laugh.

"No. In fact it offends my senses." He states adamantly

"So what bring you to Seattle?" Callie watches as Jesse expression changes for disgust as he grumbles about the sin that is Budweiser to a look of pure excitement.

"My brother is getting married!" Jesse grabs his phone out of his pocket and pulls up a picture. "This is the happy couple. "Callie looks at the picture and sees two men smiling back arms around each other.

"They look like a happy couple."

"Yeah they are really are." He pockets his phone again and takes another drink of his beer.

"Tonight is the bachelor party actually. I knew they would be awhile getting down here so I came down and decided to start a little early." He emphasizes his point with another drink of his beer.

"So what brings you out tonight?" Callie shakes her head.

"Honestly I am still trying to process it myself."

"That bad huh?" Callie takes a minute before she responds determined not to cry again,

"I have certainly seen better days."

"Well whoever this person is, is a fool." It takes a second before Callie process what Jesse has just said but before she can reply as if on cue two men walk into the bar and up to Jesse.

"Hey little brother!" Callie can see the resemblance almost immediately but instead of the blue eyes of Jesse his brother has green. Jesse stands and pulls his brother into what can only be considered a bear hug and does the same to his brother's fiancée.

"Have you been drinking little brother?"

"Of course I have Angel! It's a bachelor party after all. Besides I have only had half a beer I am drunk on life right now." His brother eyes him suspiciously but shrugs it off.

"And who is the gorgeous lady that you have managed to corner?" Callie laughs at Jesse's annoyed face and holds out her hand.

"Callie Torres nice to meet you and congratulations." Angel takes Callie's hand and shakes it

."Thank you. As previously mentioned I am Angel and this fine specimen is my fiancé Jason." Jason smiles politely and shakes Callie's hand as well.

"Seeing as this is a night of celebration how about a round of shots on me?" Callie asks, A few protests are given but Callie shoots them down quickly and two rounds of shots latter Jesse is more than ready to hit the town. The men prepare to leave when Jesse turns to her.

"Why don't you come with?" Jesse asks.

"I don't know..." Callie is quickly cut off by the encouragement of the three men. She is not entirely sure how they convince her but before she knows it she has paid her tab and is seated next to Jesse in a cab towards downtown Seattle.

A/N: I started writing this at the end of season nine so for about nine months and in that time it has taken me in all kinds of I first started this I was convinced that I knew how this was going to end but as I have continued to write it I am not so sure. I will not say if this is Callie/Arizona or Erica/Callie as I am not entirely sure myself. I have decided that will not be my main focus but rather focus on the messed up journey that is love and emotions and all that is in between. I hope I do it justice.
