Sorry it took so long for this chapter to be posted. The holidays really took up a lot of time, and now school has begun again and I have a feeling it's going to be busy. I'm going to try to update soon again. :)
Oh, and I don't have a lot of knowledge of the medical stuff, so I'm skipping over it a little bit. And I have no idea what Derek would call Arizona. Would it be Dr. Robbins or Arizona? I went with Arizona, since they look like good friends, and she was invited to the Christmas dinner.
The first ambulance arrived. Paramedics jumped out and started going over the patient's condition. But Mark didn't hear any of it… "Callie?!"
His eyes were clued to the bloody face.
It all happened in a blur. Callie was brought in and soon after arriving she was taken to surgery.
Mark was ushered out of the room as soon as Bailey arrived and saw him. He had been standing over Callie, doing nothing but looking at her and holding her hand.
Now he was waiting for news outside the OR. Derek joined him after about half an hour. He sat down next to Mark looked at the clock.
"How long has she been in there?"
Mark look at his friend.
" 'Bout half an hour. I think… Don't really know."
Derek looked around. They were the only people in the hall. He had expected Arizona to be there.
"Have you called her parents? And Arizona?"
Mark looked up, he cleared his throat before saying:
"Yeah, her parents and sister are on their way. Arizona didn't pick up, so I paged her… She should be her, shouldn't she?" He frowned. He would had thought that she would have been there the second the news reached her, but she was nowhere in sight. "I'll call her again." He pulled out his cell and found the number. It rang a few times, before it went to voice mail. "Eh… Arizona? It's Mark. I-I… Where are you? I… Look, something's happened to Callie, she's hurt, badly... You need to come… Now! She was in a car crash! Where the hell are you? She's you girlfriend for crying out loud! You should be here!" He snapped his phone shut. Derek looked at him silently. He had seen Mark changing during the call. He had started out calm. Well as calm as he could be giving the situation. But as it went on he got more and more upset.
"She on her way now, I'm sure." He tried to assure his friend, but Mark just shook his head and sighed. They sat like that for an hour before anything happened. The doors to the OR opened and Bailey stepped out. She looked at them and walked towards them. Mark stood up and Derek followed.
"She's stable. There was some internal bleeding, but we fixed it, no head injuries. She's in the ICU… uh, where is Robbins?" Bailey stopped her speech looking confused. "Did you call her?"
"I did, like three times. She's not answering." Mark ran a hand through his hair. He was relieved that Callie was going to be okay, but confused about Arizona's absence. "I don't know where she is."
"Well, why don't you send someone looking for her?" Mark and Derek looked at each other. They hadn't thought about that.
"Uh, right, sure. I'll go find Christina and Owen. They'll go find her. Go be with Callie." Derek said to his friend. He made his way down the hall and soon disappeared from view.
Mark and Bailey walked in silence towards Callie's room. Bailey stopped at the door and let Mark step into the room.
Callie laid on the bad with machines hooked all over the place. Mark noticed that she was breathing on her own and breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to her bedside and took her hand.
"Hey there Callie. How ya doing? Not so good I can tell, but you're going to be okay. Bailey fixed you. I don't wanna worry you, but we can't reach Arizona, but she's going to come. Derek send Owen and Christina, they'll find her. Don't you worry about that, you just worry about getting better and waking up." Mark had sat down in a chair by the bed. He looked at Callie's face. She looked peaceful, calm. Thankfully she wasn't as pale as she had been anymore. She was going to be okay, but where was Arizona? She should be here, not him, she should be the one to hold her hand.
"Mark?" Derek was standing at the door. Mark looked at him. "Owen and Christina couldn't find her." Mark looked at the clock and realized that he had been sitting there for over an hour. He stood, squeezed Callie's hand, and walked to Derek.
"They couldn't find her?"
"No, they went to her place, to Callie and Christina's, to Joe's. Couldn't find her. She's not working or on call. I don't know… Do you know if they have had a fight? Maybe she's out of town or something?" Mark shook his head.
"I don't think they were fighting. Callie would have told me. Or Christina would have known. They share walls after all." He sighed this wasn't looking good. Callie was hurt after a car crash and Arizona was missing. He should go find the paramedic who had taken care of Callie; maybe there were more people in the crash. God he hoped not! The other people from the crash, who was brought in, were a young man and an elderly. They were fine. But if there had been more people in the crash… Who hadn't made it?
