Cristina was stunned; she didn't know what to say. She just looked to the floor and refused to meet eyes with the man that was supposed to be her fiancé.

"I was going up to the room to freshen up" Was the only response she could make.

They stood there for what seemed like hours, no body dared to move but it reality it was only a minute or two. She could feel the anger and the betrayal building in her, yes she may have been wanting to end the relationship with this man but it didn't mean it hurt any less when you realise the man you were supposed to be sharing your life with decides to go fuck somebody else. It felt as though he had just stabbed her in the back with a thousand knives.

"What the fuck are you doing Burke" She shouted.

"Cristina please don't make a scene"

"What do you mean don't make a scene, I will make a scene if I fucking want, don't you dare patronize me to two timing bastard. Now get out of my way!"

And with that the lifts of the door closed and the last thing she saw was Meredith walking towards the elevators to see what all the commotion was about and Cristina sank to the floor.

When the lift opened on the twelfth floor Cristina didn't know if she had energy to get up onto her feet. She sat there her whole body was numb. It was then the other set of elevators opened and she saw Meredith walk out searching for her maid of honour. Meredith turned to see Cristina huddled in a ball on the floor of the elevator. Meredith sat down next to her best friend and didn't say anything for a few moments.

"Cristina, I saw what happened I thought you might need me"

"Mere I can't believe that hen betrayed me in this way. I wanted to end this relationship so much and have been trying to come up with the right way to break up with him but the bastard beat me to it"

"Cristina, why didn't you tell me you were having second thoughts about Burke? I knew that you were not happy and yet you didn't talk to me, it hurts me that you have had to go through this alone. Please promise me if you are having any problems like these in the future then you need to talk to me and we can work this out together".

"I know Mere, but you had a lot of things on your mind with the wedding and everything and to be honest you looked so happy and I didn't want to ruin that, it has actually been nice to see you all loved up, I have only felt sick once or twice when you and Derek have been making goo goo eyes at each other which I definitely think is progress"

"Haha does that mean Cristina Yang is finally getting soft as in her old age" Meredith joked.

"Hey, less of the old age, I haven't even reached thirty yet."

They sat in the elevator for a few more minutes before Cristina told Meredith to go and enjoy the rest of her day. Cristina didn't feel up to going downstairs and joining the others, especially now when all the guests have heard what happened in the lobby. Meredith understood and gave her friend a hug good bye and went to join her new husband for their first dance as man and wife.

Cristina just wanted to get in the shower. She felt dirty and used. As she walked into the hotel room she pulled her hair out of the tight bun and allowed her long brown curls to fall down her back. She got undressed and threw her discarded clothes onto the bed and walked into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were all puffy and red. Her make up smudged and streaked down her face.

As she turned on the shower she felt instantly better, it was as if she was washing away all the hurt, anger and betrayal she felt towards Burke and was feeling more like herself. Cristina was trying to rid her mind of her thoughts but she didn't know what to do. What was going to happen in work, she knew she would have to face Burke again? How was she going to face up to going home? After all it was Burkes flat that she had moved in to which she will now have to leave. She just couldn't manage the splitting of the CD's just yet if only there was a way of her just disappearing for a short while.

It then hit her why didn't she just disappear? Not disappear without a trace like in the movies but go away for a while like a holiday, just a couple of weeks to clear her head and try to start feeling like a human being again. She had everything she needed right in this hotel room, she had her passport, iPod, laptop, iPhone and enough clothes to last her a few days which she could wash but would probably just treat herself to some new things. She hadn't taken any vacation time in the five years she had been at the hospital so she was bound to be allowed a few weeks off for personal time. Money was also no problem for Cristina as she had always been a saver and had built up a nice little nest egg for herself due to her not taking any holidays. Life was too short she has to make sure wherever she went she had an amazing time.

Cristina climbed out of the shower and became a woman on a mission. Once she got an idea in her head it was hard to convince her to change her mind. She dried herself off and put on a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt and her favourite leather jacket. The first thing she did was ring the hospital to make sure it was ok with Chief Webber for her to take some leave. He was taken aback with her question but granted her one month leave effective immediately. With that sorted she now had to break the news to Meredith but the thought of having to go down to the wedding reception and bumping into Burke terrified her and she definitely wasn't feeling brave enough to so it so she decided to text Meredith instead.

"Hey Mere, Now I know you are not going to be happy about this but I cannot come and see you face to face if there is a chance I may bump into Burke in the process. I have decided I need some time away so I am going to go on vacation. I have spoken to the hospital and Chief Webber has granted me one month leave to get my head straight. I am so sorry to be leaving you on your wedding day but I hope you understand and I shall see you soon when I am home and you are off your honeymoon. Hope you have an amazing time. I shall text you and let you know I have arrived safely but I do not know where I will be yet. Speak to you soon xx"

All that was left to do was call a cab.

As Cristina arrived at the airport she still had no clue where she wanted to go, her plan was to go to the departures board and see which flights were leaving soon. All she knew was that it had to be at least a 6 hour flight and in a different time zone so she knew she was far away from Burke and all her troubles in Seattle.

She read down the list and came across the perfect destination five rows down and it was a place she had never had the opportunity to visit before.

Fabulous!

Hmmmm…I wonder where Cristina is off to. What do you guys think?
