CHAPTER 8

Meredith's House

4:00AM

Meredith is grooming then suddenly notices Cristina. She never seen her sleep so peaceful. She doesn't have to ask, Cristina really did love Burke. I mean even if she did ask Cristina she will never admit to that but base on what they've gone through, you'll knew Burke is more than just a great surgeon and teacher to her but Cristina's love of her life. Meredith decided not to wake Cristina up to her sleep more.

Meredith waked Izzie up to make Cristina some breakfast and coffee. Izzie hesitated but did so after all Cristina is still her friend and told her to wake Cristina before she leaves the house.

"Cristina, it's morning. Aren't you going to steal good cases today? There's coffee and breakfast at the table. Meredith said I should make sure you finish your breakfast before I leave." Izzie didn't get any respond. "Cristina… get up, I'm going to be late."

"I heard you. Go ahead, I'll be right up… after 15 minutes."

As soon as Cristina answered her, Izzie hurried to the door.

Cristina's 15 minutes became hours. She stirred, "What time is it?" grasping the clock at the side table.

"Burke should have woke me up? Where is he anyway?" Reality hit her before she can blink. "Oh my God!"

Cristina rushed outside the house. She was about to ride her motorcycle but can't remember where she put her keys. She doesn't have a choice she needs to go to the hospital to borrow Meredith's. Cristina dialed Mer's phone number, and place it on her ear.

OR 1

6:30AM

Meredith just got out of the surgery when her phone vibrated. She went to the bathroom so Bailey wouldn't catch her.

Meredith reprimanded her, "Cristina why are you calling? Aren't you supposed to stop Burke?"

"I am. It's a long story, Can I borrow your car? I am going there?"

"Okay, but don't let Bailey see you."

"I thought you covered me."

"I did. I told her you're sick."

"What? Never mind. Thanks." Cristina hang up.
