Six month later
I rolled over and saw the alarm clock. The red digital numbers read out 1:46 pm. I chalked up today to another sleep day. Ever since I graduated med school, and since Jake... Well since he decided to just go ahead and die, I've had everyday just be a sleep day. I rolled over to his side of the bed, his sent still lingered on his pillow. I just felt like never getting up again. I heard a scraping noise at the front door, along with a few murmured cruse words. Christina must have arrived. "IT'S OPEN!" I hollered. She opened the door with ease.
"Mer? Where are you?" She asked after I heard the door shut.
"Bed." She already knew, I guess she asked in hope that I would have moved to the couch. I guess that would be an improvement...
She stood in my door frame. One I her hands rested upon her hip, the other was full of mail. "Scoot your ass over." I did as I was told. I left room on my side for her. She planted herself down, removed her shoes, and swung her legs over on the bed. She threw a stack of letters in my lap. "Mer. How many places did you apply to?" I looked at her blankly
"Any program that was out side of New York." She nodded. "We'll it looks like I may have gotten an internship." She laughed
"They would have to be an idiot to not accept Ellis Grey's daughter!" She laughed again. She knew I hated being know as that. All it brought was pressure. Everyone expected me to be a cold heartless surgeon, just like her. After I got married, she quit talking to me. She said I wasn't worth her time, I could never live to be extraordinary. She told me I was just like my father extra ordinary. Ever since then we cut all ties. She didn't even bother to come to our wedding which I really didn't mind. All she would have done was make it all about her.
"Christina, did you get any acceptance letter yet?" She nodded
"Mass Gen, Seattle Grace, Herman, and mayo. You?" All of those top hospital just rolled out of her mouth almost like it was nothing. Just like the top four hospitals in the country just accepted you to be a part of there program and that nothing big at all. I on the other hand one got one major hospital.
"Seattle grace, Methodist, John Hopkins, UTMB." She smiled. What could have made her so happy.
"We are moving to Seattle!" Then it hit me we both had Seattle Grace!
"Oh my gosh! Christina! WE GOT IN TO THE NUMBER ONE HOSPITAL!"no jumped out of bed, and ran to my phone and pressed I'm Jakes number.
"Mer, who are you calling?" Then I remembered...
"Oh nobody! Come one let's get dress and go celebrate!"
"Jake! Jake! I got in! I'm going to Colombia!" My acceptance letter for med school arrived in my mail this morning. I was officially on my path to becoming a surgeon! He ran in to the room and wrapped me up in a bear hug. He lifted me up with my feet dangling in the air. He spun me around a few times and then let me down, his arms just loosing, never actually letting go of me.
"That is amazing babe! This calls for a celebration, which includes tequila and you naked!" He laughed again and placed a soft kiss on my smiling lips. "How about we start this evening out at Manny's!?" I nodded
"Sounds great!" We walked out of our small ,house hand and hand, down the street to our favorite bar.
"DRINK! DRINK! DRINK!" The crowed shouted as I down the bottle of tequila. Once I reached the bottom I hopped off the bar. Cheers came from those who saw. All of them probably wondering how I didn't fall off the bar. I walked just a little and fell on some one. He smiled down at me. I tried to lift my self off him but I was too unstable. "Well hi bud. I think I'm stuck here." I'm sure my words were somewhat slurred, after all I had jut downed some strong intoxicants.
"Hey, I'm Finn. How about I call you a cab?" He smiled down at me. He had a very charming smile. Then I remembered I came with Christina.
"No!" I shouted, "I must find Christina!" He nodded and sat me down at a table. Before I knew it he was on the table. He cupped his hands around his mouth an yelled "Has any one seen Christina?" And before I knew she was in front of me.
"Mer, what did you do this time?" She looked up at Finn, "She didn't try and sleep with you or anything yet?"
"Well I was just about to when you showed up!" I exclaimed, I thought it was hilarious. Christina not so much.
"No she just asked for you. I offered to hail her a cab, but she said she needed you." Finn to the fun out it! Christina nodded.
"Well thanks for not doing anything with her." She garbed me by the arm and yanked me out of the bar. I could tell by her face that I was going to get yelled at. I know I was drinking for the wrong reasons but I needed a release, and drinking was a real nice release.
"Finn. I need to talk to him." She just looked at Me like I was an idiot.
"You just drunk. You want Jake not Finn." I shook my head.
"Not true! I like him! Nice kid." She didn't even look at me.
"Mer. Shut. Up." I did as told and walked home with Christina silently. We soon reached my apartment. Once we entered in I ran to my restroom. The tequila had finely found its home. My toilet. Once I was finished I could not crying. Christina ran in. "Jake! I need Jake!" I said in between my sobs. She laid Down beside me on the floor.
"I know. I know." She rubbed my back as I continued crying. "I know Mer. It will get easier. I promise. It does get easier."
