A/N: I wrote this at 12:30 in the morning, so it's pretty short. I can barely hold my eyes open, so if I make any grammar errors point it out to me so I can correct them. I really hate getting good ideas at this time of night.

"You look ridiculous." Derek commented gesturing to my tee shirt. I sighed heavily. "I know. I couldn't find my black tee shirt." I replied pulling my leather jacket tighter around me hoping no one else would notice. Arizona and Callie would never let me hear the end of it if they saw me wearing a pink tee shirt. "Don't you own any other shirts?" He smirked and took a swig of beer. "A red shirt got mixed in with my whites." I replied and took a sip of my beer. "Sure." He replied chuckling. I rolled my eyes. "You're jealous." I replied with a smirk. "Why is that?" He asked cocking an eyebrow. "I'm prettier than you." I replied and took a swig of beer. He shook his head and we laughed together. "You're not prettier than me." He replied, his eyes giving me a challenging look. "Wanna bet on that?" I replied looking around the room. He sighed. "No. I don't want to bet on that." He replied checking his watch. He flagged down Joe and paid off his tab. "I have a wife to go home to. Maybe you should consider getting one some day." He smirked and I rolled my eyes. He left the bar without another word. I sighed and stared down at the bar. I knew he was right, if I didn't find someone soon I was going to spend the rest of my life alone. But the woman I loved was in love with someone else, someone who probably treated her a lot better than I did.
"Mark? Hello? Earth to Mark?" Callie waved her hand in front of my face shaking me from my thoughts. "Oh, hey." I replied looking over at her. She sighed and reached out her hand. "What?" I asked staring at her blankly. "Keys." She replied flatly. I rolled my eyes. I'm not drunk. I was thinking." I replied looking back down at the counter. I finished off the last of my beer and turned to face her. She cocked an eyebrow. "Thinking about what?" She asked curiously. "About how I'm going to end up old, bitter, and alone." I replied flatly. She sighed. "There's someone out there for you. Maybe you just haven't met her yet or maybe you just haven't given her the chance." She replied comfortingly. I sighed again. "Who are you trying to hook me up with this time?" I asked a bit suspicious. She laughed and shoo her head. "Arizona and I promise to stay out of it. After what happened last time that's probably a good thing." She replied meaning Teddy. I pressed my palm against my face. "God, I still don't know why I did that." I replied y words muffled my hand. Callie laughed lightly. "No one does." She replied plainly.
Finally got the part that didn't save to my computer up! As I said, it's short. I'll post a longer one sometime soon. Anyway, what do you think? Leave me some reviews, please [:
