I forgot to write a disclaimer. Believe me I don't own a thing I'm only 16. Morgan, Hailey and Laura are original characters. If you're an avid Grey's Anatomy watcher then you should know and figure out that William is the same William George Bailey Jones. His eventual personality will be completely my own creation.
Seventeen, soon to be eighteen, year old Morgan was on the phone with her best friend Hailey. The two girls had met eight years ago at a ballet summer camp in New York. Morgan lived in Seattle while Hailey lived in New York with her single mother. Both girls' parents' were skillful surgeons.
Morgan had called Hailey to make sure that she was still able to come to Seattle for Morgan's eighteenth birthday. She was excited that her birthday fell during both her and Hailey's spring break. In the eight years the girls had known each other, Hailey had never been to Seattle. Morgan could not wait until Hailey arrived. She had cleared her schedule making sure she would have the whole week to spend with Hailey.
"So are you counting down the days until I get there?" Hailey asked.
"Of course, there are "x" s on my calendar marking out each day that has past. Mostly that's the count down until my birthday, but your arrival is written in big, bold, purple letters." Morgan said.
"Good, I wouldn't want you forgetting that I am coming."
"How could I forget? You're my best friend. I've even created an award for the most wonderfully awesome friend, and guess who won. Come on you know the answer." Morgan said with a smile that Hailey could picture even from the other end of the country.
"I give up who won?" Hailey sighed being sarcastic.
"You of course. How could you not know? Who else would I choose to win the award huh?" Morgan laughed into the phone wishing that she were talking to her friend in person instead of on the phone.
"I don't know, maybe your little god sister you're always talking about." Hailey said.
"Laura? No way. I love her dearly but we are not that close." Morgan said. "On to a new topic. Have you decided where you are going to go to school?"
"I'm still not quite sure. I mean I love to dance and I got into Julliard, but I also was thinking about going into medicine. You know my mother is a surgeon." Hailey said. "What about you Morgan?"
"I got into Duke, you know the really good college in North Carolina. I want to be a doctor too, a surgeon. It's like everyone in my family is a surgeon. You know me, I absolutely love the field of medicine." Morgan said.
"Yeah, I do. I got into all of the colleges I applied to. I just haven't figured out which one I want to go to. Or what I want to do with my life." Hailey said exasperated at the thought that the rest of her life would begin in less than a year.
"Hailey you'll figure it out. We both will and on top of that we'll be best friends for life. You'll be the maid of honor at my wedding. Speaking of which, I've got to go. I don't mean to blow you off or anything but I have a date tonight with William. It is Valentine's Day and it's our two year anniversary."
"Yeah I know it's Valentine's Day. And Morgan Yang-Burke do not lie, you two have been 'together' since the day I met you at camp." Hailey reasoned.
"Correction Ms. Montgomery, I've been in love with him forever we've only been officially dating for two years." Morgan said correcting Hailey.
"Whatever, I'll let you go you've got to get ready for tonight. Tell Will I said hey. Bye Morgan."
"Bye Hailey." Morgan said hanging up the phone. She walked out of her room and into the kitchen where her dad was preparing a salad only like a surgeon and the son of a cook could.
"Hey Morgan," Preston said to his only child.
"Hi daddy. What's for dinner?" Morgan asked sitting down on a bar stool in front of the counter grabbing a carrot from the pile her father had made at the edge of the cutting board.
"Salad, and I ordered a pizza. Your mom is on call tonight."
"So it's just you, me and Will?" Morgan asked.
"Will? Why is he coming over?"
"Daddy, it is Valentine's Day, and we decided to stay in and keep you company," Morgan said smiling and snatching another carrot from the pile.
"Oh, when is he getting here? I forgot he was coming." Preston asked as he proceeded to cut up an onion.
"He'll be here in an hour. That's why I got off the phone with Hailey."
"How is Hailey any way?" Preston asked.
"She's fine, a little confused. She doesn't know what she wants to do. She got into Julliard but she is also looking into being a doctor. Personally I think she should dance. It's her passion and she is so graceful when she dances." Morgan said as she watched her father put the fresh cut vegetables into the bowl with the lettuce.
"I've got to call her mother tonight. She left me a message earlier today. Do you know what it's about?" Preston asked his daughter.
"No I don't. Sorry dad. Look I've to get ready. I'll be down when the pizza gets here." Morgan said.
An hour after Preston was sure Morgan and Will had settled onto the sofa watching a movie, he called Hailey's mother. The phone rang twice before it was answered.
"Hello?" the voice on the other line asked.
"Hi Addison it's Preston." For the eight years Hailey and Morgan had been friends, Preston had known exactly who Hailey was, the daughter of an old friends that had left Seattle to make her x-husbands life happier.
"Hey,"
"I got your message." Preston said.
"Oh, I was calling to let you know I am going to tell Hailey about her father. Since she will be there and it is time for her to know."
"Oh, do you want me to tell Derek or do you want his number?" Preston asked not knowing which would be better for Derek.
"I don't know. I'm thinking about purchasing a ticket for myself and come with Hailey and tell Derek in person. Dr. Holden, your actually wants me to come to Seattle Grace to help deliver a set of quadruplets. I don't know if I want to come on business though. I would have to spend a lot of time in Seattle and Hailey still has to go to school."
"The case sounds important, and I think you should tell Derek in person. He deserves to hear it from you and not over the phone. Your parents live in New York don't they?"
"Yeah they do. I didn't even think about that. I'll have to let Hailey know about the change in plans. I may even come a few days sooner than Hailey. I need all the lead I can get on working with the patient." Addison said making up her mind to take the temporary job in Seattle.
"Send me your flight information and I'll pick you up from the airport when you arrive." Preston said.
"Thank you Preston."
"You're welcome. I need to go. I'll see you when you get here."
"Bye." Both Addison and Preston hung up the phone thinking about what the immediate future would hold.
The wonderfully awesome friend award is one created by me and my good friend swiss. i kind of based Morgan's personality off of my own hence the use of the award. I hope you enjoy it.
