Thia is was written after a prompt I received on tumblr:
"Prompt... Callie and Jo friendship. Jo hurt and Callie helps."
If you want to find me on tumblr my name is 'Rainbowcolouredrain'.
...
"Will you heck my wrist?" Jo asked, sidling up to Callie.
since Richard switched all the Attending and Resident pairs, she was no longer with Callie and she missed ortho.
"Yeah of course. What happened?"
Jo shook her head. "Nothing. I just urgh... I fell and bumped it"
Callie narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing Jo but held out her hands for Jo's wrist.
Jo winced as Callie turned it over gently.
"This is more than a fall..."
Jo pulled her wrist away. "It's not broken right?"
"You could have a tiny break. Get an X-Ray of it to be sure..."
Jo nodded. "Thank you.." She uttered quietly as she began to walk away.
"Jo..."
Jo stopped and turned.
"How's it going up on...you're in OB/GYN right?"
Jo nodded. "I'm with Dr Jones. It's okay..."
Finn Jones was a temporary Attending in OB/GYN and Callie didn't know him.
"Only okay?"
"He's um... He's..." She struggled to find the words as she blinked back tears.
Seeing this, Callie approached her with concern, resting a gentle hand on her back and guiding her into a private exam room.
Jo sat on the exam table, Callie pulling over the stool and sitting in front of her.
"He's what?" she promoted gently.
Jo looked up towards the ceiling, blinking back the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Jo..." Callie took her hand gently.
Jo's eyes met Callie's for a second and she looked anxious.
"Talk to me..." Callie smiled kindly as Jo stared hard at the ground. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it, she just simply didn't know how. If she said it out loud then she had to acknowledge it was real.
And right now...she wasn't quite ready for that.
...
Thank you for sending me this prompt, I really enjoyed writing it. I'm not sure if this will stay as a one-shot or if I'll continue it. What do you think?
