Yo Diary… Journal….. oh whatever

Anyway, its George here- I'm writing fast because Meredith's being hounded by the Nazi for the past couple of weeks. Sheesh. I don't remember ever being worked this hard in my entire life! Good thing I lack the need for basic human needs right about now. Anyways, upon Christina's insistence, I'm dubbing this the 'mortal status report' ha ha ha. I suck at this.

In any case, its been approximately two months since Mer's declaration to finally open up a little on her birthday. Well, I wasn't thrilled with the idea of Meredith chasing after a mortal- temptation and all, it seems I'm being proven wrong. They started out slightly rocker than anticipated, and it doesn't help matters that Addison is Derek's ex-wife. I'm glad Addison isn't one of us! Damn!

While Mer and Derek are doing somewhat ok, Izzy and Alex spent one hot night together, now they're all over each other like rabbits again. I guess after a sixty year hiatus in the relationship, sparks tend to burst back into flames. I'm glad they have their own place for cryin' out loud. Still, Alex can't resist going after Addison Shepard every now and then.

Guess what journal… this leaves me… alone… odd man out… as always…. Well, I must admit, I find Dr. Torres is rather striking… perhaps I could use a little of the ol' O'Malley charm… with some subtle nudging of my other abilities… good thing Jasper and Alice aren't here…

Aw crap! Gotta go!

Ehh… next time

George O'Malley

"Sooo… you always keep a lavender diary, George?"

"Gaaaaaaaah! C- Callie.. its not mine.. I mean… I'm writing for a friend… I…!" George sputtered helplessly, his eyes darting from the diary to Callie's amused expression, laughter in her eyes. Callie slammed her locker shut, sitting down on the bench beside him, lacing up her shoes.

"Relax, I can read 'property of Mer' all over the front cover. Plus, I did think you were a tad too manly for that."

"Tad?" George muttered, shutting the diary. "A tad?" he echoed in disbelief.

"Relax 007, I know you're straight as an arrow. Its nice Mer trusts you with the thing in the first place. I like trustworthy men." Callie said with a warm smile.

She's beautiful! For human standards that is….

George fumbled, putting the diary back into his locker. He'd return it to Meredith at the end of their work shift. With rumors of a massive car wreck and plenty of time to be in the OR, George was suddenly thankful he didn't need to eat or sleep. He wanted to be like his mentor and second father figure Carlisle, dedicating his life for the next few centuries to helping humans.

"Shift's about to start…. Ready O'Malley?"

"Always… well… not really, but you know."

" I was soooo tired last night. You never look tired… nor those friends of yours."

"Ah…" George stopped halfway to the door, back to Callie. The scent of her blood pulsed thickly, intoxicating him. Pinching his nose, George shuddered.

"Hey… are you ok?"
"I…. I'm fine…..I gotta go…."

"Are you sure? You look like you're going to fall over…"

Her hand was like a dove's feather on his trembling shoulder. Before he could help himself, George felt the pangs of hunger surge, the animalistic growl snake up his throat in chopped bursts. He nudged her of f with a frustrated grunt.

"I… said… I'm FINE!"

The words came much harsher than anticipated. His eyes were slightly darker now, and he felt the urge to drink her blood nearly overwhelming.

In the next moment he had bolted from the room.

In the next few seconds, he was making a beeline for the front door.

Meredith lifted up the x-ray, studying it for a moment before placing it up on the view screen. She wasn't sure, but she thinks she was looking at a kid who had somehow swallowed a lightbulb. Shaking her head, Meredith turned over the next x-ray, holding it up to the light.

"IadmittedtoburkeImavampireandhebrokeupwithmebutsexwasgood!"

Christina stood in the doorway, gripping it almost white knuckled. Meredith winced, fearing not for her friend's demolished lovelife, but the strain she was placing onto the building. From somewhere, the old wood groaned from deep within, and tiny cracks began appearing in the aged doorframe. Meredith flicked another x-ray slide out crossly.

"Don't grip the door so hard!" she snapped, uninterested. "You'll break it."

"What..? Oh. Whoops."

Christina released her vampire deathgrip on the offending frame. She crossed the empty room with one quick flash, standing in front of Meredith with a scowl on her face.

"Didn't you hear me? I said I told Burke what I was and he broke up with me!" Christina said exasperated.

"Sooo…?" Meredith shot a warning glance in her direction. "what happened?"

"Remember that bet…well… I cheated… as Edward would say…. I dazzled… him…. b- but Rosalie put me up to it!" Christina stammered. Meredith shot her a digusted look.

"You took a bet with Rosalie?" Meredith echoed in disbelief. She'd liked the blond vampire just fine, but she sometimes found her vanity… overwhelming.

"Well… I was bored… and not to mention…" Christina huffed in annoyance. "Anyways… after a week of dazzling and…..alright sex, I guess… I blurted it out ok! My bad my bad!"

"You're bad? You're bad?!" Meredith said, mouth agape. " Do you know what you could have done?! Are you mad?! Do you want the Volturi at our doorsteps?!"

"Mer… one good night of sex and a slip of the tongue will hardly bring a horde of Italian vampires down on us…. " Christina pointed out with a slight snip in her voice. Meredith slunk down in an empty chair, head in her hands.

"I don't believe this….. I can't believe this… I won't…."
"Mer…. Uhh.. I lost out in a relationship…. you still have McDreamy…"

" We've gone out a few times… hung out… as friends… you know? I'm trying to not use the McCharm or McVampness to McSeduce him!" Meredith said, a slightly hurt tone in her voice.

" Mer… what about my pain? I'm alone now!"

"You're lucky he just broke up with you, and probably thinks you're the S&M type or something.." Meredith said quickly, her tone indicating she was tired of the conversation. "Anyways, I have to scrub in, there's a big surgery coming up."

"Really… a big one? How big? I'm stressed… I need to cut into something. Now!" Christina said, suddenly interested.

"Some big trauma case, I guess. I mean..do you want to do it?" Meredith said, waving the offer like handing out a piece of meat to a hungry dog.

"Wait.. I know you.. I've known you for over ninety years….there's a catch… isn't there?"

"No catch… I could just be nice you know." Meredith said politely.

"You give up a surgery?" Christina said in a shocked voice.

"Yes… on one condition…" Meredith teased.

"Oh god… what?"

"When we hunt, we pick the animal of my choice this time."

Christina looked at he with a pained expression. Humor danced in Meredith's eyes. Gritting her teeth, she reluctantly nodded.

"Alright…."

" I love you Christina."

"Shut up Grey."

"Take it slow George… easy now…"

"You didn't… s- see her…. Carlisle…. I almost…. L- lost it."

"But you didn't, and lord knows how much I struggled with my thirst."

George looked up at him with blazing eyes. Although the elder vampire didn't have any special powers, he could feel George's self loathing like a blazing hot knife. George suppressed a whimper, turning to face the wall, grabbing at his hair.

"You love this woman, you won't hurt her." Carlisle reminded him softly.

"Its not just her… with the same time my mind and body feel attracted to her.. you know what I really want…. Her blood…I mean… if this is what Edward felt for Bella the first time… I- I don't think I can be here…"

"I taught you better than that, George. You're approaching 150 soon, you're in control."

"Its different than that…" George murmured. "How can you want to love someone and hurt someone so much at the same time?"

The rumbling of an ambulance from miles off was easily heard by the two vampires. Carlisle stood straighter, nodding.

"Time to prepare George. You can do this. I trust you."

"Really? Because… sometimes… I don't trust myself."

~*~

"You're right… this is gonna be big….."

"See, I told you. Did you ever doubt?"

Meredith, Christina, and Callie were waiting for the ambulance as it roared down the road. The front doors opened, as George, Bailey, and Carlisle stepped out.

"Dr. Bailey what's the status?" Carlisle inquired.

"Far as I know a woman with a severe abdominal hemmorage…" Bailey said flustered. She turned to her interns, watching them wearily. "be prepared."

"Like we haven't done this before…" Christina muttered. Meredith and George snickered. Even Carlisle looked amused for a few moments.

As the ambulance entered the unloading zone, Callie stepped out to wave it in. What happened next however, took them all by surprise. A blue car barreled down the road, sending up a shower of sparks, nearly driving on two wheels. Callie, preoccupied with the oncoming ambulance, didn't see the car until it was moments away from her.

"Callie….. Callie! RUN!"

She looked up, seeing the oncoming headlights. She reflexively too a step back, shuddering in horror. Something blurred in front of her, and suddenly car veered wildly out of the way, skidding to a stop.

How…. I'm supposed to be dead…. Wait a second… George?!

It was. George was crouched protectively over her, eyes wide and wild with fear. The oncoming ambulance had gotten out of the way of the speeding car, but Callie wasn't looking at that. It was the man hovering over her, gazing down at her with a worried expression. It was also the fact that he had moved with impossible human speed, and had single handedly deflected the car. The large, dent in the front was more than enough evidence warrented.

Meredith and Christina had pretended shock. The wreck was bad, and sure enough all hell was about to break lose any moment now. Carlisle was thin lipped as he surveyed both the disaster, turning and barking out orders while Bailey began running to check on the wounded involved. In Meredith's eyes, she caught sight of a worried George, and shocked Callie.

She knows…. Oh god… she has too! Secret's out….
