Callie's POV
Carina Deluca, she's my best friend and god I love her but right now I hate her. I'm sitting here in this empty diner waiting on my blind date that she set me up on. Well it's not really a date, more like a meet up before the hookup with a stranger and technically it wasn't just her that set up it, it was both her and her wife's idea and suddenly i'm regretting even agreeing to this. But as Maya put it "the best way to get over someone is to get under someone new" so here I am after having my heart broken a couple months ago and taking some time to myself, I think I need to move on.
Arizona's POV
These last two months have SUCKED with all capital letters. After the accident at work when I finally got out of the hospital I was put on desk duty at work. I hate desk duty, it's the worst. I need to be active and moving, i hate sitting still. I know i've been antsy and grumpy to say the least, especially at work. So when Cap suggested a different way to work off my energy in the form of self care as she called it, I was all ears. When I agreed to try a self care day, Cap said she just had the perfect girl for me and that I just had to give her a chance. So here I am standing in front of the window of this diner trying to calm my nerves to go in. As I adjust my arm in the sling I can't help but think of the accident that got me here in the first place.
It was a two story house fire. It was pretty routine as far as house fires go. When we arrived on the scene and hopped out of the trucks Cap started assigning positions.
"Alright guys this house is almost fully inflamed we have about a minute before the whole thing goes Hughes, Montgomery grab a hose and hit the house, Herrera, Robbins search the second floor for any victims, theres a van in the driveway so theres probably still a family inside, Gibson you're with me we'll search the first floor, Warren go to the aid car get the O2 ready and be ready for any victims we may bring out, alright lets go Nineteen!"
I quickly take my helmet off and put on my oxygen mask and secure it, putting my helmet back on after. Herrera looks at me "Ready?" I nod my head, put my hand on her shoulder and follow her in. Just with the first step in, you can feel the heat from the flames coming through even with all the protective gear on. We make our way to the right going up the stair case. Once we reach the top Andy and I both take a quick glance to the right and left of us. The right has two rooms, both with the doors open and the left has one room with a closed door. Straight ahead of us is a bathroom with the door open. Herrera motions with her hand to go left and I nod my head slightly. I follow her to the door and once I see her put her hand on the doorknob, I hurry up and make my way to the right side. I'm in the middle of searching of the first room when I hear my radio
"I got both parents and a kid! Where are you Robbins?" I don't answer continuing to search and call out in the room. I hear Herrera on my radio again
"I'm coming down with the kid but I need some help with the parents in the main room"
"Downstairs is clear, i'm sending Gibson up to help. Where the hell are you Robbins?!" I hear Cap come through
I exit out the first room and answer back "I just cleared the first bedroom, there's another to be searched" I don't wait for answer back as I go into the second room
"Robbins the family was found in the main room" I hear Herrera say as I continue my search of the second room
"Robbins get out of that side of the house! The fire has complete control of it!" I hear Cap yell through
"Captain I got to finish searching this room" I answer her back
"That's an order! Get out now Robbins!" I hear the Captains orders come through my radio but I chose to ignore them and continue my search.
As I round the corner of the nearly burnt bed that's when I see a child's body hiding in the corner barely visible behind the chair. I make my way to grab the kid and the only other thing I can remember is falling and thinking to grab the kid as we fell.Next thing I remember is waking up in a hospital room.
I wince slightly remembering the pain of waking up. According to the therapist that I'm mandated to see to get back go active duty, the ptsd part of my brain blocked out the rest of the memories of the accident. She says that they can come back on their own maybe or that I can try different exercises to remember them or maybe I just won't ever remember them. I shake my thoughts out and decide I stalled outside long enough and go inside the diner. I look inside and theres only one girl whose sitting by herself in a booth, I walk towards her.
"Hey are you the one that Maya sent me to meet?" I politely ask her making sure to show off my dimples
"Umm yea... sorry yes, her and her wife Carina set this up. Please have a seat" She seems nervous but I don't blame her. I take a seat and observe her beauty. She sure is beautiful and hot and I haven't even seen her stand up yet. I'm going have to remember to thank Cap for this later, they sure did do a good job of picking her out.
