Meredith dropped her tools. Her mouth was hanging open. I rolled my eyes.
"No Mark, you don't love me. You loved the sex." I said and walked out. Christina ran into me as I was leaving.
"Ugh. Don't touch me sicky." She grumbled. I shook my head. What a witch. I don't understand what her problem is with me. I searched for what seemed like forever for Callie. She was filling charts on the ortho floor. She looked up at me.
"K, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Mark, Mark just told me he loved me. I think I'm going to be sick." I said.
"Are you sure you don't feel sick because you are sick and not because of what he said?" Callie asked.
"Huh?" I asked confused. My brain was not at all comprehending what she had just said. She laughed.
"Oh right, you sick, your brain is a bit groggy. I swear you should just go home." Callie said and grabbed a chart. She started to walk off and I followed her. "What did you tell him?" She asked as she turned a corner.
"I told him he didn't love me, he loved the sex. Then I left." I said. Callie laughed.
"Oh wow. That's quite a blow." She said. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever." I said. Callie turned to me. Her face was filled with concern.
"Kim you really don't look good. You're really pale. You need to go home." She pressed.
"Cal, really I'm fine." I said. I felt dizzy though.
"K, you're swaying." She said. I rolled my eyes.
"I am not." I said.
"Uh, yeah you are." She said. Things we're really moving now. My knees buckled and Callie dropped the chart and caught me. "I need a gurney over here!" Callie yelled. Bailey ran over to me and Callie.
"What the hell happened Torres?" She asked.
"She's sick, she's sick and I told her to go home and she refused and just then we were talking and all the sudden she collapsed." Callie said. I heard the fear in her voice. Things were fading into black. The lights glared into my vision. Dr. Bailey's face appeared in my vision.
"Dr. Green?" She asked. "Dr. Green." She repeated. Her voice was muffled as if she was speaking from behind a curtain. Then I went black. I woke up in a hospital bed. An IV pumped liquid into my arm. I had an awful headache. I rubbed my head with my IV arm. Dr. Bailey came in.
"How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Like I've been run over by a truck. What happened?" I asked.
"Your body ran out of glucose." She said.
"What?" I asked in disbelief.
"Kim, you have type 1 diabetes." Dr. Bailey said.
"What?" I asked not believing it. Dr. Bailey sat down on my bed.
"Look Kim, I know it's a lot to take in." She said.
"A lot to take in?" I asked getting a little angry. "You aren't the one who's body practically attacks itself. I can't do long surgeries without stopping to make sure I have enough insulin so I don't faint." I said.
"Kim, calm down." Dr. Bailey said nervously. I rolled my eyes.
"I can't make it go up just by getting angry." I said.
"I'm not worried about that, blood pressure is what I'm worried about." She said.
"I don't have blood pressure issues." I said. Dr. Bailey rolled her eyes.
"Whatever Dr. Green." She said and walked out. Callie came in.
"Hey K." She said and brought me a box of chocolates.
"Uh. Cal, what are you doing?" I asked. She smiled.
"Kim, you're on a regulating IV. You can still eat sweets anyway, you just have to be careful." Callie said opening the box. I smiled and took one. I bit it and Callie laughed at the disgusted look on my face.
"Oh gross. Orange." I stated. Callie smiled. George came in with a teddy bear.
"Hey beautiful, go to see you non comatose." He said and handed me the teddy bear. He planted a kiss on my cheek.
"So do you remember what happened before you passed out?" Callie asked.
"Uh, I was in the skills lab with Meredith talking about you being like my person." I said.
"Anything else?" She asked.
"Nope." I said trying a different chocolate. This one was good.
"Oh you stole the caramel one!" Callie said angrily. I grinned.
"Yup and it was good." I said. Callie rolled her eyes. I smiled and chose another one. Callie bit into hers and made a face.
"Ew, strawberry." She said disgusted. I smiled. George left. I bit into mine.
"Wow, this is good. What is it?" I mused showing her the inside.
"Cream." She said. I finished it off.
"Mmm. I like cream." I said. Callie laughed. Meredith came in.
"Ooo. Chocolates!" She exclaimed taking one. She bit into it and gagged.
"Oh that's gross! What is that?" She asked showing us. Callie laughed.
"That would be the mystery one." She said. Meredith spit it out into the trashcan.
"So gross." She murmured. I giggled.
"That's what you get for stealing a chocolate from a helpless diabetic." I joked. Callie threw a fist in the air triumphantly.
"I got the chocolate filled!" She exclaimed. I laughed and threw one at her. She caught it in her mouth and bit into it. "Oh I found the other caramel one!" She giggled. Meredith took another one.
"Hah. Peanut butter! Score!" She giggled. I laughed and flopped back down in bed. I was exhausted all of the sudden.
"Come on we'll let you sleep." Callie said packing up the chocolates and sitting them on my bedside table. I nodded.
"Thanks." I said. Meredith and Callie left and I fell asleep a few minutes later.
