"Hey how was your date?" Cristina said as she caught up to her friend at the nurses' station.
"It was lunch in the cafeteria, what do you expect? It was short, that's all there really is to share." Meredith said as she looked over some charts.
"Whatever, you never like the share the details."
"Cristina! What is wrong with you? I seen you guys staring the whole time, so it's not like we had hot and steamy sex on the lunch table!"
"Right well I have to go." Cristina said suddenly and walked away from her person.
Meredith shook her head and went back to reading her chart but was soon interrupted by feeling someone grab her side.
"Hey Alex, what's up?" Meredith said as she looked up briefly.
"Oh not much, trying to find an assignment, everyone else gets all the good surgeries."
"Do you know what's wrong with Cristina? She's been acting really weird lately." Meredith said trailing off, hoping he would know the answer.
"You mean weirder than usual? Nah I haven't noticed anything. If there was something wrong wouldn't she come to you?" Alex said indicating that she was her person.
"Yeah well there were a few occasions where she didn't go to me or anyone else when something was bothering her." Meredith stopped as she heard her pager go off. "Gotta go, arrival in the pit is calling my name!" Meredith said with excitement.
"Wonderful, at least someone is getting some action around here!" Alex yelled towards Meredith as she ran down the hall.
"I guess I'm just lucky!" Meredith yelled over her shoulder. Little did she know that she Derek heard these last two exchanges and took it in a way other than surgery.
I wonder who she's sleeping with now. At least things with Rose are working out. Derek thought to himself as he stopped by the nurses' station to review a chart.
"I was paged?" Meredith said as she reached the pit.
"Yes Grey, you haven't met him yet, but you'll be assisting Dr. Jacobs with a surgical case, get the patient and take him to OR-2, it should be prepped and ready by the time you get there." Dr. Bailey said as her resident showed up.
"Dr. Jacobs?" Meredith asked in surprise.
"Let me guess, you know him? I don't want to know Grey, just pick an intern for the surgery and get going." Dr. Bailey said as she went to another ambulance that pulled up.
"What do we have here?" Meredith asked the paramedic as they stepped out of the back of the ambulance.
"15-year-old boy, injury to the chest."
"What kind of the injury, we need to-okay then, I'll just take him off your hands." Meredith said as she seen a long, thin piece of wood sticking out of the teenagers' chest, close to his heart. "Did anyone tell you how this happened?" Meredith asked quickly.
"Target practice with bow and arrows." The paramedic said as Meredith grabbed hold of the gurney.
Running the gurney towards the OR, Meredith yelled at people in her way, including Derek and Rose that were sharing a small but passionate kiss in the middle of the hallway. Derek grabbed Rose out of the way, and as Meredith flew by, the embrace remained. She didn't know why, but Meredith couldn't help but feel a small amount of jealousy as she wished it were her in his arms. But at the same moment, she had a plan. It was a plan not to get back into the arms her of former McDreamy, but to get into the arms of some other man.
"What do we have here?" Dr. Jacobs asked as Meredith rushed through the doors of the OR.
"Arrow injury to the chest, paramedics gave him a relaxant to keep him from moving. Stats are normal, I can call down for an X-ray to see where the arrow penetrated." Seeing the quizzical look in his eyes, Meredith continued, "Target practice with bow and arrows, at least that's what the paramedics mentioned."
"Good work, Dr. Grey, get him down for that X-ray immediately so we can get that arrow out as soon as possible." Andy said, showing approval for Meredith's performance thus far.
