Present; Meredith's POV.
"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit". I said as I zoomed in between cars on the way to work. It was my first day of being an intern at Seattle Grace and I might be late? What a great start to my career. Imagine what mum would say if she knew I was late? Imagine what she would say to me being a surgeon? I thought as I laught bitterly. Who cares, this is my life, I'll run it the way I want to. What am I going to tell my bosses for being late? That I had a one night stand after being drunk and I forgot I had work? Yup, that'll go down just perfect. Shit. What am I going to do? Call Arizona, that's what. I picked up my phone and dialled her number.
"Hello, you've reached the message bank of Dr Arizona Grey, I can't get to your call at the minute but if you leave your name and number, I'll get back to you as.. "
Arggg; Zonie and her damn message bank. You'd that having a sister in the same country she'd answer her phone, but no. Maybe she's asleep? I looked at my clock and realised it was just after 6. Damn it, she would be asleep, and I've got twenty-five minutes to get to my first day of work. We have orientation and introductions before hand, then we are given our mentors of a sort, this is going to be fun. Not.
As I ran through the hospital to get to the change room to get changed, everyone was staring at me, so I decided to change my minor run to just a brisk pace. Walking into the change room, I quickly changed and spoke some to the intern next to me. Her name was Christina Yang, according to her, there's not many girls in this program, and there's an inbred. Can't to see what she does to me, not.
"So, you ready for this stupid talk?". Asked Christina as we made our way to the conference room to walk. Walking side by side with this intern, I realised she was right because as soon as we entered the conference room, I saw there wasn't many female interns, and one, was a blonde with big breasts, and I can tell, she's the ex model, the chick Christina keeps calling Dr Model.
"Nope; I'm tired and I need coffee, it's going to be a stupid talk". I replied as we sat down at the table with the other interns, one was George, he told me in the change rooms that he remembered what I wore last night to the intern mixer, that wasn't weird at all. As we all sat down and grabbed the coffee from the middle of the table I started to relax, but then soon stopped when the chief walked in and I know the chief, he was a friend of my mums. I sighed, lets get the boring talk begin. I looked up at the chief as he began talking but I zoned out after the first five minutes but then zoned back in when I heard something I thought I wouldn't hear.
"Derek Shepherd is the new head of neuro". Said Richard Webber. Derek? Did he say Derek? Derek is the guy I slept with last night.
"Shit". I whispered so low, only Christina heard me. She looked at me quizzically but I gave her the look that said it'd tell her later, she nodded her head and agreed.
"And last but not least, Dr Arizona Robbins is the new head of paediatrics". Finished Richard. Arizona? Did he just say Arizona Robbins? Arizona walked out and I glared at her, my sister, in the same hospital, with a different last name? I knew she was visiting me, but becoming the new head of paediatrics here? No way in hell.
"And that's all, please go find your residents and enjoy the rest of your day". Said Richard as we all filed out to find our residents. On the way to find the resident nicknamed the Nazi, I felt my phone vibrate, indicating I had a new text message. I whipped my phone out and realised I had a text from Arizona.
Merry, I'm sorry. I will explain everything promise. Please don't hate me. Z x
I re read the message and sighed, and typed back a quick response.
You better explain everything Zonie, come find me later. M x
Throughout the day I didn't see Derek or Arizona, which I was kinda grateful for, because I really don't think I could face either of them today. But I knew I had to talk to one or the other, and that was taken out of my hands when Arizona pulled me into the supplies cupboard.
"Merry I'm so so so so so sorry I didn't tell you". Started Arizona as she pulled me into the room. I stumbled at first but then regained my posture.
"You're sorry? For what? Not telling me you were coming to my work? Not answering my phone call or returning my phone call? Or changing your last name?". I replied as I placed my hands on my hips. Arizona stared at me before she began to pace.
"I didn't answer your phone call because I was with the chief, I didn't tell you because I wanted it to be a surprise and I changed my last name because I didn't want to be Ellis Grey's daughter". Replied Arizona. I stared at Arizona and could tell, that every word she said was true and by god do I understand what she means living underneath Mum.
"I get it, I do. My friend Christina told me there's an inbred in this hospital, she doesn't know it's me. None of them know it's me. But one question, why Robbins?". I asked confusedly. Arizona sighed and stopped pacing, it was then that I realised she had tears in her eyes.
"One of my patients in another hospital had cancer throughout her whole entire tiny body and her name was Robbin, and I couldn't save her and that's stuck with me since it happened I guess I sorta blame myself". Whispered Arizona.
"Oh Zonie". I said as I wrapped my arms around my sister.
"It wasn't your fault and knowing you and the work you do, I know you tried to do your best okay? It's okay Zonie, I promise it's not your fault, and I get it, I do". I whispered as I rubbed Zonie's back. My poor sister! I cant believe she thought that was her fault!
"Thanks Merry, I've missed you so much". Whispered Arizona as she squeezed me lightly.
"I've missed you too, where're you staying?". I asked as I let go of her.
"At a hotel at the moment until I find a place". Replied Arizona as she wiped her tears away.
"Well, I know you never liked the place but I just moved into our old house, you're welcome to join me if you want?". I asked as I looked at Arizona.
"Really? You want me to move in with you?". Asked Arizona with a grin. I replied the grin fully.
"Of course, just like old times". I replied. She sighed sadly.
"Just like old times".
There you go guys, next chapter. Derek will make an appearance soon, promise.
