[ Next]

They had broken up and this was the second time they had been invited the same party and Callie was determined not to repeat the same actions she has at the last party, but she couldn’t help but stare at that beautiful blonde as she smiled and joked around.  She felt a slight pang deep inside herself wishing that it was her that Arizona was making conversations with.

Marked walked over to her “You know this is kind of stalking, right?” he smiled lightly at her.

“I know I’m trying. Really I am, but I can’t help myself.” She said without ever letting her gaze move away from her.

“Yeah, well you’re going to have to do something Torres.” With that statement he simple walked away.

“Okay, I have this just stop looking turn away.”  She thought to herself. With that she turned slightly looking around the room and as her gaze started to drift back to where it was she noticed Arizona look at her. In that brief moment Callie decided she had to do something so she grabbed the nearest person she could find and kissed them.

The lips she was now attached to happened to be the lips of Jackson Avery. At first his eyes stayed open with surprise, but soon he welcomed the soft lips that were pressed up against his. He managed to snake his tongue into her mouth and start massage hers within a second. She turned them sides allowing herself a view of Arizona out of an unnoticeably squinted eye to see the shock that covered her face instantly, but turning back to the woman in front of her seemingly unfazed.

Callie felt a wave of relief at the sight of Arizona’s shock maybe she too still wasn’t over it, but when she turned away continuing on laughing and smiling she thought that maybe this was all untrue and felt a little further away from her.

At the sight of Callie kissing Jackson, Arizona immediately became shocked and deep inside she felt a small stab of jealously. Why should I be feeling any form of jealously it’s not like I haven’t had my flings yet, right? But it was not so public. Not like this was and not all around their friends with another doctor. We are over and it has been longer than a month 46 days actually. And it was not like I was not ok with this decision. It’s not like the whole reason I weren’t the one she is kissing isn’t because of me anyway.

The kiss that Callie and Jackson shared stopped. It had only lasted about 7 seconds, but within that time Jackson had already had his hands on Callie’s hips pulling her to him, but Callie gently pulled away from him luring her in. She smiled sheepishly as she looked at him. “Um, I’m sorry about that.” She spoke softly “I just… and you were close…I’m”

“Don’t be.” He calmly spoke to her looking into her eyes. “It wasn’t bad actually.” He joked. “But I know why you did it and I get it.” He gave her an amazing smile and for the first time she noticed how beautiful his eyes were. Callie shook her head a little bit as if trying to get that thought out of her mind.

“Um well… thank you for understanding.” She staggered.

All he could do was smile for a moment looking at her; she was beautiful he didn’t understand how anyone would have let her go. At that thought he quickly glanced over at Arizona as if he was looking for an answer, but he didn’t see one. “It was great you know.” Callie felt a blush creep up on her skin. “I wish… well it would have been nice if it might have been for other reasons, but still you are an amazing kisser.” Now Callie’s cheeks were almost crimson red.

She cleared her throat trying to force away her blush “Um, thank you, you too.” Callie started turning away from Jackson when she felt his hand grasp her arm. Shocked she looked at him again seeing how beautiful his eyes were, but this time noticing the look on his face. A genuine concerned look, but a little nervousness was written all over him.

“Hey, I know…You know, but I could be there for you. I know that Mark is your best friend, but he’s going through his own things. I can be that guy, the one that can be there for you.” Jackson smiled sheepishly at her locking his gaze with hers so that she knew he was being truthful. She nodded and that is all it took for him to be thrilled. He gave her a huge smile and she couldn’t help, but smile back at it.

“Well, I have an early shift so I have to go okay.”   She continued her walk out the door.

Arizona watched as Callie left the room, she didn’t turn back to see if she was looking. It was the first time she didn’t look back in over two months of them being separated. She looked at Jackson Avery and even though she knew that it was over between her and Callie she couldn’t help, but be a little bit jealous.

Jackson looked at Arizona, he had that strange feeling that someone was watching him and he caught Arizona’s eyes almost burning holes into him. He saw the sudden look of shock on her face as she turned away from him to look at the woman in front of her. He couldn’t help, but laugh a little. If she only knew the only reason for what Callie did with me was for her. He shook his head and walked over to go get yet another drink for himself.

***************

Callie walked around the halls this morning looking for Mark she had to tell him what happened the night before; that is if it wasn’t the only thing people were talking about. Dam, knowing this hospital, I’m sure that everyone is going to know all about my dirty laundry, but hopefully not yet. She spotted Mark, but it was just as he was headed towards an on-call room with another nurse.

Callie turned away just as her pager went off.

Callie was stressing she knew as soon as she laid eyes on the 13-year-old girl that she was going to have to be working with Arizona. After last night she didn’t even know if she could look at her let alone work in the same room or even the same OR, but she knew there was nothing she could do to change it she just needed to act as professional as possible and possibly avoid any form of eye contact.

***********

Arizona knew it was going to be an impossibly hard day. The fact that she was up late last night and had a minor hang over was not going to make it any easier, but this was not going to be hard because of that it was going to be hard working with Callie. She didn’t know how to handle it, but she knew she had to put on that brilliant smile and pretend like nothing was fazing her. Especially that kiss from last night that Callie shared with Jackson.

Arizona stopped. She looked at how Callie was looking over the patient; it was going to be a long day. But she kept on moving forward she knew that it was all about that little girl lying there on that bad. Arizona put on her best smile and walked over. “What happened here?” She asked not directing it at anyone.

“The patient, Molly, seems to have taken a fall out of a second floor window.” She heard

Bailey answer “she has multiple fractures and contusions to the head and neck. And as you can see...” Bailey points at the large rusting pipe impaling her right shoulder.

“Okay, somebody page Dr. Shepherd immediately and we are going to need to make sure she has no internal bleeding as well.” Arizona answered back as she started to walk away. “Page me as soon as her tests are back please. And I’m going to need to see her chart.” Callie handed her the chart not looking once at her. “Thank you, Dr. Torres.”

Callie shrugged then continued on looking at the wounds on Molly’s arms and legs. As Arizona stepped away looking at the chart.

*********************

They had to rush Molly into an OR soon after Arizona stepped away after Shepherd discovered some hemorrhaging. They worked like a fine oiled machine to save Molly. Shepard was finished with no complications and he left Torres and Robbins to finish up.

Callie tried to focus on the task at hand. She was working feverishly trying to repair the girls damaged femur, but Jackson was one of the residents that scrubbed in to observe Callie as she worked. He was watching her intently trying to see how everything was done; he moved closer and she could feel as his breath was just behind her.

“Dr. Avery, I am going to need you to hold her leg very still there. I have lot of blood here!” Quickly Jackson ran up to assist Callie in getting the bleeding under control. They worked together meticulously.

As soon as it was evident that Callie no longer needed his assistance Jackson stepped back again. He purposely brushed up against Callie letting her feel his body he smiled to himself when he felt he quiver just a little bit, but he quickly moved away he didn’t want to be at all disrespectful. Jackson just couldn’t help, but have feelings for Callie she was beautiful and was so in control. He loved how hard core she was.

Arizona worked carefully as she removed the pipe from Molly’s shoulder. She made sure to clean up the wound all the while she was hoping that there would be no infection, but she knew that it had been inside her too long. She smiled it wasn’t anything a little antibiotics… before she could even finish her thought she noticed Jackson as he rubbed against Callie. She saw the reaction it caused, a reaction that she had once been able to cause. She shook her head and continued with the surgery trying not to look over the table again.

****************************

They managed to go through the surgery, but Callie was unable to repair some her leg correctly she was sure that Molly was going to need another surgery if she was every going to get her leg to work normally again. She concentrated on only that. It made her feel like a failure, but everyone was all very happy and ready to continue on with their days. Molly was sent up to peds, where Callie was headed now. She needed to check on her to see if she was going to be stable enough for another surgery tomorrow.

Callie got off the elevator only to see Arizona standing there at the nurses’ station. She walked over trying her best not to make any eye contact or even look in Arizona’s direction. “I need Molly Parker’s chart and can you tell me what room she’s in? Please.”

She looked at the nurse and smiled as she handed her Molly’s chart.

“Second to last room on the right” she pointed to her left, the hall that Arizona was standing closest to.

“Great.” She whispered under her breath to herself. “Well thank you” she said looking down at the name tag “Jackie.” Smiled and walked away. She looked straight ahead of her and only seen Arizona from the corner of her eye. She quickened her pace as she felt the butterflies flutter in her stomach.

Callie breathed a little sigh of relief at the sight of the door to Molly’s room. She smiled and walked in. “Hi, how are you feeling?” She asked.

“How do you think I feel? I feel like I was pus… fell off a roof. That’s how I feel.” She looked away.

Callie looked at her a little confused. Did she hear her slip up a little more information that she was supposed to? Callie looked at her deeply concerned. “I’m going to have to perform another surgery on your leg tomorrow. I’m hoping with this you will be able to have full function of your leg when it is healed, but this might mean an extended stay for you.” She saw her eyes light up a little.

“It’s fine. I don’t mind staying here.” She looked at Callie then back at the window.

“Where are your parents now?” Callie questioned

“Mom is at work. And my step-dad had to go smoke; he should be leaving soon though.”

“Your step-father.”

“Yeah, just a step, I don’t have a dad.”

“And your mother, will she be arriving soon?”

“Probably, just between her shifts.”

“Okay, well if you need someone to talk to I’m right here ok.” Callie said with a sweet smile as she began to go over Molly’s chart.

“It hurts.”

Callie looked up quickly. “What hurts sweetie?”

“My everything”

“Well, all I can do is order you another dose of medicine, but first we’re going to have to clear that with Dr. Robbins. Okay sweetie.” She smiled even though she felt her gut twist a little bit. “I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.” Molly nodded then made a pained face. As Callie slipped out of the room only to almost bump into Arizona as she headed for the room.

“Uh, hey I was actually coming out to get you Molly is complaining that she is in pain.” She said reaching back for the handle on the door as she looked at Arizona who smiled exposing her dimples. Callie felt herself melt a little, but open the door turning away quickly.

“Okay let me see the chart.” Callie handed her the chart not looking at her in the face. “Okay, well what we’re going to do,” she spoke to Molly, “is going to give you a little more pain medicine to make all the pains go away. Okay.” Arizona smiled.

She looked at Callie who nodded then back at Arizona. “Okay” she answered.

“Good then.” Arizona rounded the bed and looked at them monitors. She smiled at Molly again.

“So,” Callie began to Molly “do you want to talk about anything. I’m sure faling out of a window or just being in so much pain can be traumatic for you, but like I said I am here for you.” Callie gave her a nod and a smile.

“Uh, yeah it is weird, but…” Molly directed her eyes at Arizona then looked at her, “ it’s nothing I can’t get through right?”

“That’s right sweetie.” She nodded understandingly.

Molly only smiled, but Callie could tell there was something bothering her by the way she looked around the room so nervously. “Like I said” Callie began putting her hand very softly on Molly’s, “you can talk to me, you know if anything is bothering you.” She scrunched her nose “I know hospital food is not the best.”  Molly giggled and smiled and Callie smiled right back giggling just a little.

Arizona loved how Callie was so good with her patients and with this one that they shared her heart was melting in her for how sweet and soft hearted their conversation was, but she knew that there was something going on that Callie was trying to get at. “Well then, it looks like you are in good company so I am going to check on the little boy in the room next to you ok.” She smiled at Molly as she opened the door. She turned around just before she shut the door behind her “Oh, and Dr. Torrez, please keep me up to date on how the medication is working for Molly.”

Callie knew exactly what she was asking her “Of course, Dr. Robbins.” She nodded. She turned around to look at Molly as she heard the door close behind her. “Well then all alone I guess.” She smiled at Molly.

“Yeah, I guess.”

“Molly, is there something that you want to tell me?” Callie looked at her sympathetically locking her eyes with Molly’s.

“No.” Molly stated as she moved her eyes again to look out the window.

“Are you sure because it looked like you wanted to tell me something, but you just didn’t want Dr. Robbins to be here for it.” Molly began to cry uncontrollably. “Hey, hey there is nothing to cry about its okay.” Callie reassured as she got up and moved to be closer to Molly’s side.

***********************************

Callie was home. She had so many thoughts coursing through her mind that she could not will herself to sleep. All she could think about was Molly. She closed her eyes tight trying to forget and just go to sleep, but it was futile, images of Molly crying haunted her. Then anger hit again. “I…I didn’t fall. He…he…he… pushed…he pushed me. He pushed me!” Molly sobbed huffing in as much air as she could. She had calmed her down, but assured her she would be there if she needed her.

She got out of bed. Cristina was staying at Owen’s tonight, so she had the house to herself. But Callie could only wish that she wasn’t alone, not after how much emotion she felt for that little girl that was lying in a hospital room all alone as her life was getting turned upside down. Callie made herself come coffee, she couldn’t stand feeling helpless. She was going back to the hospital to do something; anything.
**************

Callie walked into the brightly lit hospital the sight of all the life made her feel at ease. She had decided all she really wanted to do was go and see Molly and then try and pick up a little work. She entered the elevator her mind was humming with thoughts of that poor girl getting pushed. The sudden noise of the elevator doors opening is what brought her back from her own thoughts. She stepped out and walked down the hall to Molly’s room.

Callie stopped. Her eyes widened at the sight that was laid out before her. “Arizona?”
